Nothing short of amazing- the beauty of a small company!

Dog watch has been sensational to work with- from the initial quote (very reasonable), to the creative problem solving to get exactly what I wanted- a large area of the yard included but keeping the dog out of the gardens, and since it’s been installed troubleshooting my questions (my dog got out a couple times and it turned out she is so fluffy that she needs slightly longer prongs and Afton got them in the mail and I had them within 2 days). I also dropped my dog’s collar in the dog park, panicked, and emailed Afton who got right back to me (thank goodness I actually found it on a repeat dog park visit). This company has been nothing short of amazing. I got two quotes for our invisible fence and I am so grateful I went with them!!!

This fence has changed our lives

This fence has changed our lives. No exaggeration. We were able to contain our 2 dogs in 6 acres at an affordable cost. When Guy told us that we would be able to leave our house- with the dogs out- and not worry about them- I didn’t believe him. BUT HE WAS RIGHT! Three years later and we are still so thankful we have this fence.

Great people great product!!

Great people great product. Guy and Afton were easy to work with. No nonsense, training was just as they said and our dog was trained in a few days just following their directions at installation. Thanks for being so easy to work with.

The dogwatch fence has been great for keeping my dogs contained in the yard. They caught on to it very quickly and we have not had a single instance of them leaving the yard once they figured out the boundaries and what would happen if they crossed the boundary. My experience from first contact to installation was excellent. Highly recommended.

Good company & great system

Our dog containment system is working great! Install was quick & reasonable. Receivers on the dog collar are smaller than other brands we have used & better for the dogs. So far it has been a great system. Guy & Afton were good to work with.

It really works

It really works!
I honestly had some doubts about the effectiveness for the 5 dogs we have. Each dog is different, but when we followed the instructions as scheduled we found it it really works for each of them. I am very happy with the invisible fence. The service is excellent too!

DOGWATCH IS FOR CATS TOO!

DOGWATCH IS FOR CATS TOO!

Not only does DOGWATCH keep my dog Coco in the yard, it keeps my cat in the yard too! My cat Oliver likes to go outside for a few hours every day to run and play in the yard. He loves to climb trees and chase away the rabbits too! I used to let him run around the neighborhood but that wasn’t very nice for the neighbors and I was worried about him most of the time. Now I know that Oliver is close by and he usually comes right away when I call for him! I remember the day that Guy helped me train him - Oliver felt the shock and then looked at all of the white flags. He knew exactly what was going on and learned the boundary faster than my dog! DOGWATCH is so much more user friendly that the competition. Last fall my landscapers broke the line and I went out and fixed it myself! It was a simple connection and it’s worked perfectly since! And replacing the batteries is so simple although I haven't had to do it very often. They last a long time! Guy and Afton were just fantastic to work with. I highly recommend DOGWATCH. It has been the best thing I have purchased in the last 5 years!

Dogwatch was a pleasure to work with from start to finish! They were easily available to answer all my questions, and troubleshoot training questions I had. And best of all, our very enthusiastic lab puppy, is so well trained, and has never gotten out of his boundary area!

I recommend DogWatch for anyone with doggie escape problems!

My black lab mix was enamored with chasing cars on the highway. A regular fence and gate across the driveway would have been a nightmare in the winter. After checking out all the possibilities online, DogWatch seemed to be the best. I called, installation was scheduled and done on time. Guy spent plenty of time with me and my dog. After one lap around the perimeter over a month ago, she has accepted the boundary and has stayed well inbounds ever since. I'm sure that if I had a problem, Guy would know and be able to advise a solution. Great company, great fence, great experience!

Absolutely the Best

Dog watch is the best out there! I love that the collars have different levels and if the dog challenges the fence the collar will automatically jump to the next level. Also love that you can change the width of the fence. It is just a great system! We have two Australian Shepherds in an acre of flat yard in the front and a big wooded hill in the back of our home. So there are deer, coyotes, rabbits, squirrels etc to chase. We have had the system for 14years. We have had something chew and break the wire and another time the blacktop company broke it at the end of the driveway. I have let the battery in the collars die (forgetfulness) and Guy Treanor is the best at helping me solve any and every issue. He is a wealth of information on training, retraining, changing the settings of the fence and how to make the system for our family be successful. I could go on and on. We are extremely happy with the system and also the service!
