SideWalker SW-5
Walking Shouldn’t Be a Drag
The SideWalker® Leash Trainer is a gentle and reliable way to create a more enjoyable on-leash experience for you and your dog. More walking, less pulling, and more time together side-by-side.
Collar Features
5 Adjustable Settings
The 5 adjustable settings include a vibration setting, 3 electrical stimulation settings, and a progressive setting that begins with vibration and gradually progresses from Low to High if the dog continues to pull.
Progressive Levels
When the dog pulls, the level of the vibration or electrical stimulation (for that setting) gradually increases. When the dog stops pulling, the SideWalker resets to the lowest level for that setting.

What Our Customers Say
Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No one has gotten back to me in 5 days to provide a replacement receiver in 5 days of calling! My dog is getting out every day. Can’t get it but from your local dealer. WTH!?Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been with DogWatch of Columbus for 33 years. They are dependable, courteous and always available when needed. In that 33 years I have had several dogs and they were all kept safe because of DogWatch's invisible fence.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pat and Emily were amazing. We had our original dog watch fence put in 9 years ago by them, and always worked great. When our beloved Gunner passed away unexpectedly a year ago we had no intention of getting another dog but changed our minds recently. When I turned the dog fence on there was a break in the line and I called for service and to have our new puppy trained. Pat came out, fixed our broken line, and trained our new puppy. They’ve been doing this a long time and are very professional and dependable. Prices were reasonable and instructions for the remainder of training outlined. We couldn’t be happier with the customer service and care they provide. We highly recommend them for your dog fence needs!Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would I use DogWatch again? Yes Pat and Emily are great and we really enjoy our hidden fence. Our BernieDoodle does great with it and all has been good with three years. While I would definitely use them again, two challenges I have. 1) Super expensive for any repairs and the lines are not dug deep. 2) When you need to get ahold of DogWatch the phone message system is frustrating and not ideal to say the least. Again the fence is great and I would install again but when you have issues it leaves something to be desired.Posted onTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend DogWatch of Columbus. They installed our fence over 15 years ago and it is still working perfectly. They have helped us over the years train new puppies and do refreshers / system checks when our dogs needed it.

You Asked, We Answered
The SideWalker is used to train dogs to walk on a leash without pulling and to reinforce appropriate leash walking behavior.
A sensor under the collar strap on the SideWalker is triggered by pressure when the dog pulls on the leash (or when you pull the leash to direct the dog into the desired position.) When the sensor is activated, the dog receives either a vibration or a stimulation. The SideWalker should be set to a level that is just enough to distract the dog from the pulling behavior. Most dogs learn quickly that the sensation stops when the pulling stops.
Several variables affect how quickly your dog’s behavior will change, most notably the personality of your dog and the environment in which you are training the dog. Most dogs begin to understand the relationship between pulling and the vibration/stimulation after several activations of the collar. The pulling behavior diminishes quickly in some dogs and more gradually in others. If there is no noticeable change in pulling behavior after a reasonable trial period, check the collar to make sure the fit is good and the contact posts are the correct size. If collar fit is appropriate and the dog continues to pull, the SideWalker setting should be increased one level.
The SideWalker is safe and effective on dogs as small as 6 pounds.
We recommend waiting until the dog is 4-6 months old.
The components in the SideWalker are specified to operate from minus 25 degrees (F) to 125 degrees (F). A significant and rapid change in temperature may temporarily disrupt some of the SideWalker functions until the device adjusts to the new temperature level.
