Read what our customers have to say about switching from Invisible Fence® to DogWatch Hidden Fences:

Andy Greene,  DogWatch Hidden Fence Of The Triad customer

“We installed an underground dog fence years ago and UNFORTUNATELY did not know about DogWatch. Recently, we needed an emergency repair and the “other guys” couldn’t see us for a week. We live on a very busy road and could not wait. I called DogWatch and their very professional customer care professional shared my concern and said, ” I will have someone out there today”. He came, fixed my fence in no time and was very professional about his work! NOW that is service. I cannot say enough nice things about them and have already recontacted them to come out and replace all my aging wire. IF YOU NEED A PERIMETER DOG FENCE….NOBODY WILL GIVE YOU BETTER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAN DOGWATCH. Great Job Guys”

Chrissy Hamilton, Hudson Valley DogWatch customer

“I don’t typically leave reviews, but I really just had to for this one! I have a seven month old boxer puppy who is full of energy and loves and wants to play with anyone or anything that moves. We have an acre and a half of property and entertained putting up a wooden fence, but decided (truthfully mainly because we couldn’t even get on anyone’s calendar for months and this dog was running me ragged chasing him outside on a leash) to explore invisible fence options. The thought of it gave me a lot of anxiety because my pup is not treat driven in the least and incredibly hard to train. He goes crazy when he sees other dogs and people because he is so desperate for fun. I started by asking around and I kept hearing people say dogwatch Dave changed their life. So I started reading my own reviews about it and called and spoke with a woman named Tippie who was fantastic and made me feel really comfortable about the process. Fast forward two weeks and we are on day five of the training process and he is already off leash and ignoring everybody who walks by. I am completely amazed! Dave was very informative and super easy to communicate with. I even called him on a Sunday morning on his cell with questions and he was happy to help! We are only at the beginning of our dog freedom journey and without sounding dramatic, it is life-changing lol. A few acquaintances I know went with a company called invisible fence and we discussed the differences (everything from product inclusion to customer service) and they are all regretting that they didn’t know about dogwatch Dave sooner. Highly highly highly recommend! If my dog can do it, so can yours!”

Erica Basile, DogWatch of Upstate New York customer

“The only regret is that we did not go with Aileen & Bob from the very start!! The transition from Invisible Fence to DogWatch was seamless and stress free. I would absolutely recommended them to anyone in a heartbeat! I’m excited to continue to work with them in the future! Great people!”

If you are ready to switch, we make it easy for you. In most situations, we can use your existing buried wire so the installation is quick and easy. We just swap out the equipment (both the transmitter and the receiver collar) and adjust the settings so they are appropriate for your pet(s). We will determine if your pet needs any refresher training and we’ll provide that, too, if needed. And because we appreciate your business, we’ll even discount the cost of the equipment!


Our Competitive Trade-In Program is available for Invisible Fence® Brand and most other professionally installed systems. (Note: this program does not apply to self-installed pet containment systems.)
