Pets receive gradual warnings before corrections, ensuring safe containment without visual obstructions. Systems include lifetime warranties and lightning protection, with customizable layouts for properties of all sizes.

Questions
How do hidden dog fences work?
Hidden fences use buried boundary wires emitting radio signals. Pets wear collars that deliver warnings and corrections when approaching boundaries, combined with training to establish containment.
What makes DogWatch different from competitors?
Our FM frequency technology prevents false corrections, two-year batteries, lifetime warranties, and PetFriendly training programs set us apart from brands like Invisible Fence.
Can multiple pets use the same system?
Yes, additional collars can be programmed for each pet, accommodating different sizes, temperaments, and training needs within the same containment area.
How long does installation take?
Most installations complete in one day, followed by 5-12 days of training sessions to ensure pets understand boundary parameters effectively.
Do you service existing systems from other brands?
Yes, we repair and upgrade systems from Invisible Fence, PetSafe, and other brands, including wire breaks, collar replacements, and system conversions to DogWatch.

Report
Dog Watch went above and beyond their quoted service. The fence installer had to come back the next day to manually install the fence in certain areas and did not charge extra. He was very personable and my dog was trained in a day. I needed an extra collar 3 months later and it was mailed to me the next day at no cost. Also, their prices were almost half the cost of other invisible fence companies. I highly recommend this company.

Michael and Lynette were amazing. Responsive and answered any questions I had right away. So careful with installation. Worked with us and our two very different breed to make a perfect solution all within our budget. The whole process was fast, easy, and better than I expected. Our dogs have never been happier. Don't just go with invisible fence because of the name brand. Check out Lynette at Dog Watch and get the service and top quality product of a local owned business.

The whole experience using them to install our invisible fence and do the initial training was great. We are fortunate enough that our dogs really only need the beep to be reminded to stay in the yard which is why I went with Dog Watch but can't say enough good things about the team at dogwatch of metro detroit from scheduling to installation.

I can't say enough great thinks about Lynette and Michael! They were so friendly, professional and really went above and beyond to give us a great experience! I truly feel the price was fair for the product and services received. We have 3 rescued huskies from very different walks of life and we really wanted to give them the best, I think we got it here! Thanks so much to both of you!
