Hidden fences can also be used to create <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenfenceinc.com\/staging\/products\/indoor-pet-fences\/\">indoor pet fences<\/a> that work inside your home to keep your pet off a couch, out of a room or away from a kitchen counter.<\/p>\n<p>Hidden fences are often mistakenly referred to generically as \u201cinvisible fences\u201d.

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 electrical stimulation (also called a \u201ccorrection\u201d) 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<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and other radio fence brands.)<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201coff-limits\u201d area. We also have wireless indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenfenceinc.com\/staging\/contact-us\/\">Give us a call<\/a> to discuss your options.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            What is a DogWatch SmartFence?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>The DogWatch <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenfenceinc.com\/staging\/products\/outdoor-hidden-dog-fences\/smartfence\/\">SmartFence<\/a> is a hidden underground pet fencing system (often mistakenly referred to generically as an \u201cinvisible fence\u201d*) 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. The SmartFence has a communication component that will notify you by pop-up notification text and\/or email if there is a break in the underground fence or if your pet\u2019s collar battery is low, so you will know before your pet does if there is an issue with the fence working as it should. It will also let you know if your pet is testing his boundaries and will track your pet\u2019s activity.<\/p>\n<p>View more SmartFence FAQs <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenfenceinc.com\/staging\/products\/outdoor-hidden-dog-fences\/smartfence\/#sf-faqs\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>*Invisible Fence<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> is a registered trademark of Radio Systems, Inc.<\/em><\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            How does my dog learn where the hidden fence boundary is?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>Training is an important part of the process. After we install the hidden fence, we work with you to train your pet. 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 correction (a mild electrical stimulation from the collar). After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary; they usually stop before the warning signal to avoid the correction.<\/p>\n<p>We will initiate the training and provide instructions and support so you can complete and reinforce the training. After the initial training, your dog goes through a training session with you for a few minutes each day for about two weeks. We will develop a plan to meet the specific training needs of your pet(s).<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Will the stimulation from a hidden dog fence collar hurt my dog?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>The \u201cstimulation\u201d from the collar is a sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks. It is a brief, unpleasant sensation designed to deter a pet from leaving the boundary. After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary and thus do not receive a correction.<\/p>\n<p>The electronic stimulation will not \u201cburn\u201d your pet. In rare instances, prolonged or improper use of an electronic collar has resulted in a pet developing pressure sores on their necks. This situation is easily avoided by ensuring that the collar is fit properly and removed regularly. DogWatch strongly recommends removing your dog\u2019s receiver collar daily when not in use.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            How is DogWatch different from Invisible Fence<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> and other brands?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>The DogWatch Hidden Fence brand is often confused with the Invisible Fence\u00ae brand and may be mistakenly referred to generically as an \u201cinvisible fence\u201d.

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 \u201cgarden loops\u201d, etc. <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenfenceinc.com\/staging\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> for a free consultation and an estimate for your property.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019t need to be painted and don\u2019t deteriorate like traditional fences.<\/p>\n<p>There usually isn\u2019t much difference in the cost of a DogWatch fence and other Dealer-installed brands (such as Invisible Fence<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>.) 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.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            How big an area will the hidden fence cover?

If your dog does get out, check to make sure the collar is on securely. Check the status light to make sure the receiver battery is working. You may need to increase the signal range (on the transmitter) to keep the dog further from the boundary wire, or increase the correction level on the receiver collar. Perhaps due to recent landscaping, there is a break in your underground wire. We are available to help with any issues or concerns you may have.
