DogWatch® Hidden Fences keep your pets safe and are safe for your pets. Our hidden fences allow pets to run, play and exercise so they stay happy and healthy. With DogWatch, your pets will stay safely in your yard and away from places you don’t want them to be.
LCD Display
The LCD display on the BigLeash gives you more information than any other remote trainer. All the information you need is available at-a-glance, keeping you fully informed of the transmitter & receiver status, battery status, training level and your dog's distance from the transmitter.
In-Touch™ Two-way Communication
The BigLeash is the only remote trainer with two-way communication between the hand-held transmitter and the dog's receiver collar. This important feature helps you stay safely connected with your dog via the visual range indicator on the LCD screen that shows you if your dog is going out of range – so you can call him back before it's too late.
15 Levels of Stimulation
The BigLeash Remote Trainer offers 15 training levels (levels of stimulation) to accommodate a wide variety of training needs and pet personalities, but not so many that picking the correct level requires an advanced degree.
4 Signal Options
Select the signal you need, when you need it - audible or vibration, brief or continuous.
Firefly® Nightlights
Easily activated from the hand-held transmitter, the 4 LED lights are great for walking your dog at night or locating him in the dark.
½ Mile Range
The signal range is up to ½ mile – more than enough to give your dog some room to roam when you go out for leash-free walks.
Two Dog Ready
Easily add a second collar so you can train or manage two dogs with the same hand-held transmitter, storing separate settings for each dog.
Rechargeable Batteries
Both the hand-held transmitter and the receiver collar have a long-lasting, easy to recharge battery.
Low Battery Indicator
Both the hand-held transmitter and the receiver collar have a low battery indicator to let you know when it is time to recharge.
Lightweight, Waterproof Receiver
Because dogs will be dogs.
Weatherproof Transmitter
Because weather happens.
Soft-touch Coating
A unique coating that provides a comfortable and secure grip, while protecting the hand-held transmitter.

Freedom & Safety for your Pet.
DogWatch® Hidden Fences keep your pets safe. The Hidden Fence creates a secure boundary to keep your pets safely in your yard and away from places you don’t want them, such as gardens, swimming pools and driveways. With a Hidden Fence, your pets can run, play and exercise so they stay happy and healthy. Hidden Fences are also commonly known as wireless fences, underground fences, invisible fences, and electric fences for dogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
A hidden fence is an underground pet fencing system that uses a radio signal to keep your dog in a designated containment area, such as a yard; or out of an area, such as a swimming pool, patio, or garden. Hidden fences can also be used to create Indoor Boundaries that work inside your home to keep your pet off a couch, out of a room or away from a kitchen counter.
Hidden fences are often mistakenly referred to generically as “invisible fences”. Invisible Fence® is a brand name and Registered Trademark of the Invisible Fence Company.
Hidden fences are created by burying a ‘boundary wire’ a few inches underground around your property. The buried wire carries a harmless, low level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your house or garage. Your pet wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver collar that recognizes the radio signal. As your pet approaches the buried wire, the receiver collar emits a warning signal (audible or vibration). If your pet travels further, he will receive a mild but safe stimulation (also called a “correction”) from the receiver collar. Through a training program, your pet learns to recognize his fence boundaries and learns to stop at the warning signal. Although there are differences in some of the product features, this is how all hidden fences work (DogWatch®, Invisible Fence® and other radio fence brands.)
With an indoor system, the hidden wire runs around your couch, under the lip of the counter, around the trash or across a doorway or wherever you need to create either a containment area or an “off-limits” area. We also have “wireless” indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. Contact your local DogWatch Dealer to discuss your options.
The training includes teaching your pet to recognize the containment area boundaries through a combination of voice commands, audible warning signals from the receiver collar and visual flags that are set in the yard where the pet hears the warning alert. With training, the dog remembers the placement of the flags and associates the flags with the warning signal. As your pet learns, the flags are slowly taken away. Your pet also learns that if he continues beyond the flags and warning alert, he will receive a mild correction (a stimulation from the collar). After training, most dogs do not cross the boundary; they usually stop before the warning signal to avoid the correction.
Your Dealer will initiate the training and provide instructions and support so you can complete and reinforce the training. After the initial training with the Dealer, your dog goes through a training session with you for a few minutes each day for about two weeks. Your Dealer will develop a plan to meet the specific training needs of your pet(s).
No. The “stimulation” from the collar is unpleasant, but it will not “burn” or injure your pet. It is a sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks. It is uncomfortable, but it does not harm you.
The cost for a DogWatch® Hidden Fence is almost always much less than traditional fencing. The cost varies based on which system is right for you, the number of pets, the size of the property, how many sidewalk and driveway cuts, if you want internal “garden loops”, etc. In addition to costing less than traditional fences, hidden fences provide more flexibility and more secure containment than traditional fences. For example, you can contain your dog in your yard, but keep him out of a pool area, garden or driveway gate. Plus, your dog cannot jump over, chew through or dig under a hidden fence. And hidden fences don’t need to be painted and don’t deteriorate like traditional fences.
There usually isn’t much difference in the cost of a DogWatch® fence and other Dealer installed brands (such as Invisible Fence®.) Retail brands may seem to cost less than the Dealer installed brands, but they do not include installation (which can be challenging), training (which is very important), ongoing support or a good Warranty program. Also, Dealer installed products tend to be better quality than retail brands.
