Jax DogWatch was great to work with. Flexible, communicative and fair on pricing. The best part is the system is very effective. Our dogs only had to wear the collars for a week and they were trained not to cross the line in the front and back yards. Now we can keep them distanced from the lake.Posted on Google
Patty BurdenFebruary 28, 2026We are beyond pleased with our invisible fence! Our rescue was an extreme flight risk AND we live on a body of water with gators! Within one week I was able to be outside gardening and I was comfortable with her being out in the yard with me! Would highly recommend Robin and Kirk!Posted on Google
Cari McGowanJanuary 11, 2026Update: we had a battery issue - I was using the wrong one - and Robin responded on Nee Year’s Day offering solutions. Fabulous customer service for a product that makes our dog’s life better for over 5 years. Jax DogWatch Hidden Fence installed when our puppy was 8 weeks old. She was fully trained to stay in the yard in just a couple weeks. Very easy to implement. Robin the owner and Kirk the installer were so pleasant and accommodating. Very affordable and much less expensive than a real fence. Best decision I ever made as a pet owner. I just wish the regular training of our puppy was this simple. :)Posted on Google
Jennifer GustafsonNovember 17, 2025Love love love the dog watch fence! We have 3 goldens retrievers that would leave the yard to go visit the neighbors chickens. The fence now keeps them in the yard and sometimes they even go out without their collars on and they don’t go near the fence!! Robin was so helpful and friendly. Thank you Robin for all of your advice and help to keep our fur babies safe!! Highly recommend Robin at Dogwatch to protect your dogs!Posted on Google
Judy AgliataOctober 3, 2025I wish I had done this years ago! My dog is so much more relaxed both inside the house and in the yard. For years, he would throw his whole body against the glass front door barking at delivery drivers. The very first day Robin arrived with his collar, that behavior completely stopped. He used to chase and bark nonstop at delivery trucks, but now he simply sits calmly and watches them come and go. Not only is my dog calmer, but I feel so much happier and more relaxed too. It has made such a difference in our daily life, no more constant stress or worry when someone pulls up to the house. Truly a game-changer for both of us!+0Posted on Google
Amy MurphyJuly 24, 2025We had a great experience with Robin and Kirk at Jax DogWatch! We had a few issues prior to install (AT&T told us they couldn’t mark our internet line) but they both went above and beyond to figure out a solution and successfully installed our pro system with no issues. They are both responsive and professional and I highly recommend them!Posted on Google
Alexandra CovasApril 11, 2025Saved our sanity for our two little dachshund mixes who were constantly running after dogs, cars, leaves, anything that moves. Training was so easy and gave us such peace of mind! Absolute pleasure working with them. Would recommend to anyone.Posted on Google
Brandon CanadaMarch 20, 2025We recently got the hidden fence for our yard and we love it!! Our Golden adapted and learned quickly. She is now able to enjoy the yard and pine cones all the time. A new freedom to run and play with the kids.Posted on Google

christy canadayOctober 7, 2024The owner and her husband are amazing. Definitely worth having the fence and keeping my pups safe.Posted on Google
kathryn kettleSeptember 18, 2024We have had an excellent experience with Jax DogWatch. Installation and training were straightforward and they are happy to assist when needed. I love that they come out and test/see how you are doing with the training. It has made our lives so much easier, and given our doggo the freedom to run and explore!+1Posted on Google
Donna DemarcoJuly 24, 2024I moved to a new house in December and was not allowed a fence due to HOA. My 12 year old italian Greyhound could not be trusted outside alone.I was panicked about using any product of this nature, After talking to Robin, she put my mind at ease, they were professional and actually came and worked with our dog ,unlike other companies that pull the dog across the perimeter. I was so impressed with the time they put in to help.I was so afraid that if she got scared, she would never go in the yard again. Well, they made sure that didn't happen and I am completely satisfied and would highly recommend them. Now, I am able to let her out without fear, and I know she is safe. Also, they are always available for questions .Posted on Google
Stephanie CohenJuly 17, 2024We are so grateful for Jax DogWatch! Our 12 pound dog was getting out of our fenced in yard multiple times and day and we were worried about his safety. DogWatch gave us peace of mind knowing he was secure in our yard whenever he was outside. They are very responsive and the process is so easy. Thank y'all again!Posted on Google
Steve MorrowJune 7, 2024We have had golden retrievers and now an Australian Bernadoodle. They both love to run so we got an invisible fence from dog watch. It works great and our dogs can now run the whole yard. Robin and Kirk always respond quickly if we ever need anything so that’s why I give them five stars.Posted on Google
Joseph DempseyMay 30, 2024Excellent service! Very responsive: Our system stopped working (turns out it was because telephone workers had accidentally cut the wire). Someone came immediately after I called, located the break and fixed it very quickly. We highly recommend them.

What is a Hidden Dog Fence?
A hidden fence is an underground dog fence system that uses an electronic signal to keep your dog within a designated area and away from potential dangers. An underground wire transmits a radio signal to your pet's receiver collar. Watch the video to see how it works!
DogWatch has been making hidden dog fence systems since 1990. Our fences are sold and installed by our network of over 200 independent DogWatch Dealers worldwide.

Hidden fences are created by burying a ‘boundary wire’ a few inches underground around your property. 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 “correction”) 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® and other radio fence brands.)
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. We also have “wireless” indoor units that do not require placement of a boundary wire. Give us a call to discuss your options.
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.
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).
The “stimulation” 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.
The electronic stimulation will not “burn” 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’s receiver collar daily when not in use.
The cost for a DogWatch Hidden Fence is almost always much less than traditional fencing. 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. Contact us for a free consultation and an estimate for your property.
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’t need to be painted and don’t deteriorate like traditional fences.
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. Also, Dealer-installed products tend to be better quality than retail brands.
We offer a Lifetime Limited Warranty on our outdoor systems professionally installed by Jax DogWatch. There is also a limited 30-day money-back guarantee if you are not satisfied with the system.
We are a privately-owned, people-oriented company that takes pride in our quality customer service. We’ve been surrounding pets with freedom since 1990.
