How Is DogWatch® Installed in Your Yard?

Once we've met at your home to assess the ideal configuration for your pet's containment, we will proceed by burying a wire underground to establish the designated containment area. A transmitter with cutting-edge FM Radio technology will be installed in a suitable location (such as the garage or basement) and connected to the buried wire. The transmitter emits a unique FM radio signal through the underground wire.


DogWatch offers a comprehensive lightning protection system that safeguards both your fence and home wiring. Unlike other hidden dog fence brands, DogWatch includes dual lightning protection, ensuring maximum safety for your property. 


You have full control over customizing the perimeter (boundary) wire to meet your specific preferences and requirements. Here are a few examples of available configurations for installing the boundary wire for our outdoor hidden dog fences: 

Basic Perimeter Loop

This conventional approach is where the wire is installed along the entire property boundary to make the most of your pet's yard space. Additionally, you can choose to install optional loops for your garden, pool, or flower beds within the hidden fence boundary to "exclude" specific areas you would like to keep your pet out of.

Hour Glass (Pinch)

By installing the fence wire on both sides of your property, up against the house, you can create two separate hidden fence zones: front yard and backyard. This configuration effectively "pinches" your yard, giving you the ability to manage your pet and control their access to either the front yard or the back yard.

Backyard Only

An alternative layout option is to confine your pet's access solely to the backyard of your property. In this setup, the hidden fence wire is installed near the front side of the house, creating a loop that prevents your pet from escaping through the front door or garage. Likewise, this configuration can be reversed to restrict access to the front yard only.

Banana Loop

This installation option allows you to create a discreet fence boundary along one, two, or three sides of your property. It is particularly suitable when you already have a traditional above-ground fence serving as a "partial" yard boundary. The benefit of this layout is that it safeguards the yard while maximizing the available space within the securely enclosed backyard.
