Advantages of a Wired Underground Dog Fence
Precise, Consistent Boundary
Hidden fences with underground wires offer precise, consistent boundaries and work well for properties of all sizes. A DogWatch® system can cover up to 200 acres - or the smallest yard. In fact, DogWatch® hidden fence systems are so precise we can even target something as small as your kitchen trash can with our Indoor & Outdoor Avoidance Systems.
DogWatch’s patented SafeLink signal is highly resistant to interference, making it a secure and reliable choice. GPS-based wireless fences are prone to shifting due to weather, trees, or nearby structures, and are not ideal for smaller yards or obstructed areas. GPS-based containment systems, by contrast, depend on satellite positioning that fluctuates over time, resulting in boundary drift that cannot be fully eliminated.
Longest Battery Life Available
DogWatch Hidden Fence receiver collars have the longest battery life in the industry, which means more protection for your pet and less hassle for you. Most DogWatch® receiver collars can run for 2 years on a single battery!
By comparison, wireless GPS dog fences typically rely on a built-in rechargeable battery to power their receiver collars. Most of these need to be recharged nearly daily. When those rechargeable batteries eventually fail, they are often not replaceable - requiring the entire collar to be replaced.
Lifetime Warranty
All Dealer-installed DogWatch Hidden Fences come with a DogWatch® Lifetime Limited Warranty that is the best in the industry! Most wireless GPS fences come with only a one-year warranty.
Lightweight Collar Fits All Dogs (and Cats, Too!)
DogWatch receiver collars fit dogs of all sizes. In fact, our R7mini receiver collar weighs only 1.1 ounces – perfect for small dogs and cats, too! GPS wireless dog fence collars are much larger than wired fence collars, and most are not usually suitable for dogs under 20 lbs.
In-Person Training and Support from Local Dealers
Our hidden fences come with professional installation and training from our experienced pet professionals. Your local DogWatch Dealer will support you when you need it, even years after your initial purchase. Compare that to the online-only support available for your average GPS collar purchase, and you’ll see why DogWatch comes out on top!
