In this guide, we will discuss everything you need to know about mastering dog training with your hidden pet fence. From understanding what a hidden pet fence is and how it works, to tips and tricks for effective training, we've got you covered. So let's get started!


Understanding Hidden Fences


A hidden fence is an innovative pet containment system that uses advanced technology to create a safe boundary around your property for your dog. This system consists of a transmitter that emits an FM radio signal and a lightweight receiver collar worn by your dog. When your dog approaches the boundary, the collar emits a warning tone. If they continue, a mild static correction will be delivered. This system is designed to be humane and effective, teaching your dog to respect the boundaries of your property. Plus this correction can be adjusted to suit your dog's temperament.

The Advantages of Choosing a Hidden Fence


Opting for a hidden fence from DogWatch Southeastern PA brings numerous benefits:



  • Safety First: The primary advantage is the safety it provides. It minimizes the risk of your pet wandering off and encountering dangers such as busy roads or getting lost.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Unlike traditional fencing, hidden fences preserve the natural beauty of your Pennsylvania landscape. They are invisible, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of your property.
  • Durability and Reliability: Designed to withstand the varied Pennsylvania weather, these fences are more durable and reliable than conventional fences.
  • Customization: Every property is unique, and so is every dog. Hidden fences can be customized to fit the contours of your property and the personality of your pet.


Types of Hidden Fences: Outdoor and Indoor Solutions


There are two primary types of hidden fences for dogs: outdoor and indoor. Outdoor hidden fences are installed underground and utilize radio waves to establish an invisible boundary around your property. This type of fence is ideal if you have a spacious yard and desire to keep your dog contained without compromising the visual appeal of your home.

Indoor hidden fences utilize sensors to create an invisible boundary within your home. This type of fence is well-suited for those with limited living space who wish to keep their dog contained while preserving their comfort. With customizable settings, you can tailor the fence to suit your unique needs and provide the utmost convenience for you and your beloved pet. These two systems are fully compatible, allowing you to use both simultaneously with just a single receiver collar per pet.

Training Your Dog with a Hidden Fence


Training your dog to understand and respect a hidden fence is a process that requires patience and consistency. Training your dog to understand and respect the hidden fence is crucial. DogWatch Southeastern PA provides comprehensive training guidance to ensure a smooth transition for your pet. Here’s a step-by-step guide to our training process:


  1. Initial Setup: Begin by setting flags along the boundary as visual cues for your dog. These flags will be a temporary aid during the training period.
  2. Leash Training: For the first few days, walk your dog on a leash near the boundary. As they approach the flags, the collar will beep or vibrate as a warning. Use an avoidance phrase like “Watch Out” or “Careful” to teach them to stay within the boundary.
  3. Off-Leash Supervision: Once your dog starts understanding the boundary, gradually allow them to explore off-leash but under close supervision. If they approach the boundary, use the avoidance phrase to guide them back.
  4. Positive Reinforcement: Throughout the training, reward your dog for obeying the boundaries. Treats, petting, or verbal praise can reinforce good behavior.
  5. Monitoring and Adjustment: As your dog becomes more comfortable, gradually increase their unsupervised time within the boundary. However, continue to monitor their behavior periodically and adjust the training as needed. Patience and consistency are key.
