safety features

SafeLink®
Our patented digital SafeLink® FM technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. FM technology is less prone to interference than the AM systems used by other brands, and that makes DogWatch the most secure hidden fence available.

FastReact®
DogWatch has the fastest reaction time in the industry. If your dog runs at the boundary, the receiver reacts with the warning signal before he reaches the wire, not while he is traveling over it.

Small package. Outstanding Performance.

collar features

Longest Battery Life
All DogWatch Hidden Fence collars have a longer battery life than other brands. The R12 collar has a battery life of up to 2 years and our R12mini has a 6-month battery. Other brands usually need a new battery every 3-4 months. Fewer batteries are good for your wallet and better for the environment. And, most importantly, safer for your pet!

Receiver Status Light
The unique multi-function status light on the receiver lets you know if the battery is low or needs to be replaced.

Audible Warning Alert
The DogWatch 1200Fence includes an audible warning signal to alert your dog that he is approaching the boundary. Your pet quickly learns to stop at the warning signal – before he reaches the hidden wire.

GentleFit™ Contact Posts
Optional GentleFit™ Contact Posts are easy on your dog’s skin. They are smooth like our standard stainless steel contact posts to minimize friction and low profile for a comfortable Pet-Friendly™ fit.

High Impact, Waterproof
The DogWatch R12 and R12mini receivers are tested to withstand the harsh outdoor elements of rain, sleet and snow, as well as rigorous play!

The most advanced technology and the easiest to use.

transmitter features

Lightning Protection
DogWatch Hidden Fences include the very best lightning/surge protection available as a standard feature. External protection directs power surges and lightning away from your home; internal protection suppresses surges coming in through your house wiring.

Range Setting
You can easily adjust the width of the signal (the ‘signal range’) on your 1200Fence to meet the needs of your pet and the size of your yard. If there is a wire break, there is also a warning alarm that alerts you to check the system. This is an invaluable safety feature for underground fences.

Designed with both you and your pet in mind.

owner-friendly features

Flexible Training Levels
The 1200Fence receiver collar includes 4 easy to understand and adjust training levels plus an ‘audible only’ feature to ensure safe and appropriate training and containment for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities.

Proven Training Program
All DogWatch Dealers provide on-site training using a safe and effective training program that includes visual recognition of boundary flags, learning to retreat from the audible warning signal and learning that there is an unpleasant sensation if they cross the boundary.

Flexible, Affordable Containment Areas
Over the river and through the woods? Backyard only . . . but not the pool and flower garden? Create a swimming area in the lake? We can do that! A hidden fence is more flexible and less expensive than a traditional fence. And your dog can’t jump over, dig under or chew through a hidden fence!

Works for Cats (and more!)
All DogWatch products are effective for cats, too! Create an invisible boundary that keeps your cat in your yard and out of the kids' sandbox. You can also create an indoor cat fence to keep kitty off the kitchen counter, away from your new sofa and out of the baby's room. And you can use the system for cat containment and dog containment at the same time! Also works for other pets including pigs, goats, sheep and more! Read more.

Lifetime Equipment Warranty
Our Hidden Fence products are built to last. We offer a no-nonsense Lifetime Limited Warranty on our Dealer installed hidden fences, including the 1200Fence.

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
