Hands Down, DogWatch® Systems
outperform all others.
No other manufacturer produces Hidden Fences with the advanced features found in DogWatch® systems. Our systems are legendary for their bulletproof reliability, ease of use and extremely low cost of ownership. And, don't forget, a DogWatch Hidden Dog Fence works great for cat containment, too (indoors and outside)! Read on to learn more.
Technology and Features:
A Hidden Fence is essentially a small radio station within your property. The station is broadcast along the outer edge your property in a wire buried around the perimeter. This wire is harmless, it's really just a big antenna.
It does not carry electricity. Where this wire is placed determines where your dog is allowed to roam and play There are two types of radio fences, AM based and FM based. While every other radio fence system on the planet uses outdated AM radio signals, technology from the 70s, DogWatch® is the only manufacturer which utilizes FM radio signals. Why is this important? Electrical interference (static). Ever notice while listening to an AM radio the tendency to pick up noise from nearbye devices? That's electrical interference. AM Dog Fences have the same issue. This interference can wreak havoc on the operation of an AM system. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Meanwhile, our FM systems generate pure, clean, and strong radio signals around your property without any electrical interference. DogWatch® will remain the only FM based manufacturer until 2018. We're tough! while others like Invisble Fence® offer water resistant receiver collars for your dog, DogWatch® receivers are waterproof up to 10 feet deep! We're smart too! Our systems will tell you if your dog has wandered into his boundary zone more than once in the last 24 hours. This could mean that your dog needs to have his correction level adjusted. If so, you can change the setting manually or program the system to automatically raise the dog's correction level when he challenges the boundary. Once he respects his boundary for 24 hours, the system will automatically return to its previous setting. Amazing!
Speaking of settings, did you know that most other hidden fence systems, such as Invisible Fence®, do not permit
the system's owner to adjust the correction level for their dogs? Why does a 5 second task require a technician and an expensive service call? With a DogWatch® Hidden Fence, you have the ability to adjust every single component on your system. It takes only a couple of seconds to make changes. We'll show you how during the follow-up training sessions which we include with every system installation (N/C).

We're Local: When choosing an underground dog fence it's a good idea to choose a local company like us. Located here in the Southern Md.community, we are southern Md's only full-time Hidden Fence experts. When customers need help, they don't want to wait days or even weeks for a visit. DogWatch understands this. We are available 7 days a week. So, whether you own a Dogwatch® system or Invisible Fence® system, we're always there for you. We're Truly Local. It was brought to our attention recently that Invisible Fence® of the Bay Area, has resorted to advertising as Invisible Fence® Brand of Southern, MD. They've purchased a Lexington Park area phone number to complete the ruse. Don't be deceived. It is the very same company located outside of Annapolis.
Price: It's not often in life that one can get more while paying less but, your DogWatch® system will save you hundreds of dollars at the time of installation compared the competition. Why are they more expensive? Over the years we have learned that It's not product quality or outstanding customer service. With DogWatch®, you'll get more features, a better warranty, better service, and better support from our friendly staff. This is our promise to you.
Efficiency: DogWatch® systems offer a battery life 8 times that of Invisible Fence® PowerCap® batteries. Batteries in our lightweight R9 receivers last a full two years. And, unlike the others, ours are non-proprietary and can be purchased from local stores. Just ask. We'll tell you where! Think about this, if you own two dogs for ten years, you would spend nearly $1300 in batteries with Invisible Fence®. With a DogWatch® System from DogWatch® of Southern MD that number would be less than $75 per dog. Not to worry, we accept trade-in of competitor's equipment and provide a substantial discount to make the transition easy (see below). or Contact us today to learn more.

Call: 410-495-7541
We started with DogWatch 5 years ago and have been very pleased with our system. It corrected the problem we were having with our 2 dogs chasing me to our gate and running out when it opened. They also used to sit at the gate and wait for me to come home so they could make a quick dash out when I tried to come in. DogWatch was recommended to us years ago, and I would highly recommend this system to all my friends and family. I know some people who have another invisible fence system and always seem to have problems. In my opinion DogWatch is the best one out there!! DogWatch saved MY sanity! (Probably my dogs' lives too).
