How it Works
Our underground 'fence' can be customized to create a containment
area where your dog can run free and play. Small inner loops can
keep your pet out of the garden, pool or play area.
Your DogWatch Dealer will work with you to establish
the best configuration for you, your dog and your yard.
The 'fence' is a buried wire that sends a coded
digital FM radio signal
from a small transmitter in your house or garage. Your dog wears a special
collar that receives the radio signal as he approaches the boundary. The
radio signal from the wire triggers an audible warning from the collar.
Through Pet-Friendly
™
training, your pet will learn to recognize this warning
and not cross his new boundary.
The wire is buried 3-4” beneath the surface of the yard or can lie on top of
the ground (e.g. in wooded or rocky areas.)
It is not electrified,
so it can
also be installed in water (streams, lakes, etc.)
The boundary wire can enclose up to
200 acres.
To work properly, the
boundary wire must form a continuous loop. A twisted wire cancels the
signal and can be used in locations where you want the dog to be able
to cross the wire without receiving a warning signal or correction, such as
where the wire travels from the house to the boundary perimeter.
Signal Field
The signal field is typically set at 3 to 6 feet (each side of the wire) but can
be set from 1 to 10 feet (each side of the wire). The signal field is adjusted
by the
Range Control
on the Transmitter. Your Dealer will determine an
appropriate signal field and will set the Transmitter accordingly.
Twisted wire:
No signal. Dog
can cross.
Continuous
Loop: Dog
receives signal
through collar.
