GPS Wireless vs. Wired Dog Fence Comparison
Trying to decide between a wired or wireless pet fence?
Advantages of a Wired Underground Dog Fence
- Precise, Consistent Boundary: Hidden fences with underground wires offer precise, consistent boundaries and work well for properties of all sizes. DogWatch’s patented SafeLink signal is highly resistant to interference, making it a secure and reliable choice. GPS-based wireless fences are more prone to shifting due to weather, trees, or nearby structures, and are not ideal for smaller yards or obstructed areas.
- Longest Battery Life Available: DogWatch Hidden Fence receiver collars have the longest battery life in the industry, which means more protection for your pet and less hassle for you. Wireless dog fences typically use a rechargeable battery to power their receiver collars. These GPS collars need to be charged daily.
- Lifetime Warranty All Dealer-installed DogWatch Hidden Fences come with a lifetime limited warranty that is the best in the industry! Most wireless GPS fences come with only a one-year warranty.
- Lightweight Collar Fits All Dogs (and Cats, Too!): DogWatch receiver collars fit dogs of all sizes. In fact, our R7mini receiver collar weighs only 1.1 ounces – perfect for small dogs and cats, too! GPS wireless dog fence collars are larger than wired fence collars, and are not suitable for dogs under 20 lbs.
- In-Person Training and Support from Local Dealers: Our hidden fences come with professional installation and training from our experienced pet professionals. Your local DogWatch Dealer will support you when you need it, even years after your initial purchase. Compare that to the online-only support available for your average GPS collar purchase, and you’ll see why DogWatch comes out on top!
If you meet ALL of the following requirements, you are a good candidate for a GPS Wireless pet fence:
- Is your yard over one acre in size?
- Does your yard have limited tree cover?
- Is your dog over 20 lbs?
- Are you able to recharge your pet’scollar daily?
