SmartFence
The Next Generation of Pet Fencing

Exclusive Features
- STATUS ALERTS
The SmartFence is designed to keep you informed, with customized notifications that tell you exactly what you need to know. This crucial safety information includes: SmartCollar battery status alerts, boundary wire break alerts, power loss alerts, system connectivity alerts and boundary challenge alerts. You can add multiple contacts – such as family members, pet sitters or dog walkers – and choose which notifications or email messages you want them to receive.
- ACTIVITY TRACKING
Monitor your pet’s daily, weekly, and monthly activity levels. Find out if your dog has been Active, Moderately Active, Lightly Active, or Resting.
- MONITOR SYSTEM SETTINGS
Review your system settings anytime, anywhere. The DogWatch SmartFence® App displays your DogWatch SmartCollar®’s training level and the Transmitter’s training mode, rate, frequency and range.
The world’s most intelligent pet containment system.
SafeLink®
Our patented digital SafeLink® FM technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. FM technology is less prone to interference than the AM systems used by other brands, and that makes DogWatch the most secure hidden fence available.
FastReact®
DogWatch has the fastest reaction time in the industry. If your dog runs at the boundary, the receiver reacts with the warning signal before he reaches the wire, not while he is traveling over it.
AutoMemory®
Our patented AutoMemory feature automatically adjusts the correction after your pet challenges the boundary. This discourages additional boundary challenges. If your pet challenges the boundary with the receiver set to level 4, 5 or 6, AutoMemory will be initiated. For the next 24 hours, the correction will be equivalent to the next level if the dog attempts to re-enter the signal field. For example, if AutoMemory is triggered with the receiver set at level 4, the correction will be equivalent to level 5 for the next 24-hours. After 24 hours with no boundary challenges, the correction returns to the original setting.
TattleTale™
If your pet challenges his boundary, the status light on the receiver double flashes, an indication that you may need to adjust the fence settings. The receiver resets after 24 hours without a boundary challenge. TattleTale™ is a patented safety feature from DogWatch. With your DogWatch SmartFence App, you can view and track your pet’s daily, weekly, and monthly boundary challenges via the TattleTale graph.
Stay connected with your pet.
Longest Battery Life
The DogWatch SmartCollar® battery lasts up to one year, compared to 3-4 months for most other pet containment systems. Fewer batteries are good for your wallet and better for the environment. And, most importantly, safer for your pet!
Receiver Status Light
DogWatch receivers have a unique status light that provides valuable information to help keep your pet safely in your yard. It also lets you know if the receiver battery is low and if your pet has recently challenged the hidden fence.
Audible Warning Alert
The DogWatch SmartFence® includes an audible warning signal to alert your dog that he is approaching the boundary. Your pet quickly learns to stop at the warning signal – before he reaches the hidden wire.
GentleFit™ Contact Posts
Optional GentleFit™ Contact Posts are easy on your dog’s skin. They are smooth like our standard stainless steel contact posts to minimize friction and low profile for a comfortable Pet-Friendly™ fit.
High Impact, Waterproof
The DogWatch SmartCollar® is tested to withstand the harsh outdoor elements of rain, sleet and snow, as well as rigorous play!
Automatic Shutdown
The DogWatch system is designed to protect your pet from an over-correction in the unlikely event that your dog stands in the signal field and does not quickly exit. The receiver will automatically reset once the dog leaves the signal field.
The most advanced technology and the easiest to use.
Lightning Protection
DogWatch Hidden Fences include the very best lightning/surge protection available as a standard feature. External protection directs power surges and lightning away from your home; internal protection suppresses surges coming in through your house wiring.
PowerPak™
Our optional PowerPak keeps your fence working temporarily if you lose power. With a PowerPak, you have added protection to ensure your pet’s safety. Provides up to 8 hours of backup protection.
Loop Monitor
Our Loop Monitor alerts you if there is a break in the boundary wire. This is an invaluable safety feature for underground fences. With your DogWatch SmartFence App, you can check on the status of your boundary wire anytime, and be alerted to any breaks or disruptions.
Range Setting
You can adjust the signal range (the distance the signal travels from the hidden wire) to meet the needs of your pet(s): a larger signal distance if you have large animals or a smaller range for small pets.
Designed with both you and your pet in mind.
Flexible Training Levels
The DogWatch transmitter and receiver offer up to twenty unique options (plus audible only) to ensure safe, appropriate containment for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. The settings are easy to understand and user adjustable (no service call required).
Proven Training Program
All DogWatch Dealers provide on-site training using a safe and effective training program that includes visual recognition of boundary flags, learning to retreat from the audible warning signal and learning that there is an unpleasant sensation if they cross the boundary.
Flexible, Affordable Containment Areas
Over the river and through the woods? Backyard only . . . but not the pool and flower garden? Create a swimming area in the lake? We can do that! A hidden fence is more flexible and less expensive than a traditional fence. And your dog can’t jump over, dig under or chew through a hidden fence!
Works for Cats (and more!)
All DogWatch products are effective for cats, too! Create an invisible boundary that keeps your cat in your yard and out of the kids’ sandbox. You can also create an indoor cat fence to keep kitty off the kitchen counter, away from your new sofa and out of the baby’s room. And you can use the system for cat containment and dog containment at the same time! Also works for other pets including pigs, goats, sheep and more! Read more.
Lifetime Equipment Warranty
Our Hidden Fence products are built to last. We offer a no-nonsense Lifetime Limited Warranty on our DogWatch SmartFence® containment system (DogWatch SmartFence® Transmitter and DogWatch SmartCollar®) – including dog chews!
30-Day Money-Back Guarantee
We work hard to make sure DogWatch products are the best in the business. We back that up with a 30-day money-back guarantee. We want to make sure your pet is safe and you are happy with your purchase!

The First Connected Fence
The SmartFence keeps you informed. Customized text and/or email messages help ensure your pet’s safety and give you even more peace of mind.

Know Before They Do
SmartFence lets you know if your boundary wire is disconnected, if your pet’s SmartCollar battery is low, if you lost power, and more!

At Your Fingertips
SmartFence lets you monitor your pet’s activity, and analyze daily, weekly and monthly trends.

Excellent customer service.Posted on Danita KeathleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got my fence about 5 years ago and over the years Ive remodeled and done a bunch of stuff in the yard. Each time someone hit the line I called Dog Watch and they always came out in a timely manner to fix and not price gouge! Their prices are fair and they are top notch! The investment was so worth it! My dogs can go out front and our entire yard safely!Posted on Nadia Bashour BunnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had perfect service experiences with Dog watch of Tampa Bay. I am so pleased to have found them after my previous service provider had changed. The follow up is fast and getting an appointment is fast and easy as well. My dog fence got clipped with the normal lawn maintenance that can happen and they came right out (I was lucky same day) to get it operational again as I have 3 King Charles cavalier pups and otherwise would wander into the street. Thank you Carl for swift response and service. Don’t hesitate in getting dog watch electric fencing for your dogs it’s a great service that ensures the safety of your pets!!Posted on Jan TinderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was skeptical because I have a very smart border collie puppy. But she learned the system fairly quickly and even though I still keep an eye on her I can leave her out for longer periods and just check on her from inside my house. The entire process was very easy. I was so pleased with how I was treated and I give this company five stars for sure Now 2 years later, I never have to worry about my Dog, and I HIGHLY recommend Dogwatch of Tampa Bay. Even if she is chasing a squirrel, she stops at the Perimeter and I don't have to worry about her running into the street!Posted on Lorna JuddTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Carl from DogWatch Sarasota is fantastic! Pleasant and very reliable! We had our system installed four years ago but never used it. He came out, fixed a break in the line and got is back up and running! Thank you ☺️Posted on Jennifer WeselaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been customers for nearly a year now. The underground fence works great. We had a landscaper cut the fence and Andrew was out here in no time to repair it. This organization is reliable, quick to respond, but most importantly Andrew is a man of his word. If you are seeking an underground dog fence, this is the organization to choose. You will be forever grateful!!Posted on Chad SnyderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Andrew showed exceptional professionalism on a job site with a very unruly customer. Even dealing with some of the worst and disrespectful behavior he remained level headed and professional and followed through with giving above and beyond 5 star service. I’m not a customer of they’re company however I sincerely appreciate any company who prides themselves as much as I do in doing the right thing and above all else being thoughtful and professional. If you are ever in need of they’re services I have witnessed first hand they’re value and morals and can honestly say they are a company worth trusting. Great job Andrew, keep you’re integrity and values close at heart as you do and good things will follow you!!!
