Let’s face it, underground dog fence systems aren’t exactly the cheapest things in the world. The PetSafe fence comes with 50 individual flags, that way your pup can easily see where they should and should not be.Īll-in-all, the PetSafe Basic In-Ground System is an excellent overall choice for keeping your pet safe. Instead, it’s more of a gentle static correction that will surprise and train your pup into staying within their flagged boundaries. That means you can up the shock on larger dogs, but dial it down for smaller pups.Īnd speaking of the “shock”, it’s not a painful zap. And that’s possible because the static setting is adjustable from the individual collar.
One of the biggest advantages of this system is the capacity for multiple dogs-and at multiple sizes. PetSafe’s system comes with a boundary wire that can encapsulate ⅓ of an acre however, you can purchase an additional boundary wire to extend the range to 5 acres! The fence is rated for dogs that are 8 pounds and heavier with collars that will fit necks between 6 and 28 inches. As far as underground fences go, it’s a simple setup that’ll allow you to have it up and running within a weekend. Also, Dealer installed products tend to be better quality than retail brands.At the top spot for our list of best underground dog fences, we have the PetSafe Basic In-Ground Fence System. 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. And hidden fences don’t need to be painted and don’t deteriorate like traditional fences. Plus, your dog cannot jump over, chew through or dig under a hidden fence. For example, you can contain your dog in your yard, but keep him out of a pool area, garden or driveway gate. In addition to costing less than traditional fences, hidden fences provide more flexibility and more secure containment than traditional fences.

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. The cost for a DogWatch Hidden Fence is almost always much less than traditional fencing. We will develop a plan to meet the specific training needs of your pet(s). 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 initiate the training and provide instructions and support so you can complete and reinforce the training. After training, most dogs do not cross the hidden boundary they usually stop before the warning signal to avoid the correction. 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). As your pet learns, the flags are slowly taken away. With training, the dog remembers the placement of the flags and associates the flags with the warning signal. 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.

After we install the hidden fence, we work with you to train your pet. Training is an important part of the process. We also have “wireless” indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. 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. 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.) Through a training program, your pet learns to recognize his fence boundaries and learns to stop at the warning signal. If your pet travels further, he will receive a mild but safe stimulation (also called a “correction”) from the receiver collar. As your pet approaches the buried wire, the receiver collar emits a warning signal (audible or vibration). Your pet wears a lightweight, waterproof receiver collar that recognizes the radio signal. The buried wire carries a harmless, low level radio signal from a transmitter installed in your house or garage. Hidden fences are created by burying a ‘boundary wire’ a few inches underground around your property.
