 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dog watch of the Twin Cities is an awesome company to work with.   Jake took the time to understand what I was attempting to do to keep my 2 little dachshunds safe.  His recommendations made perfect sense and I am so glad that he made them. After the fence was installed Jake took the time to not only tell me how to train my dogs but also walked the yard with me and showed me. He also wanted to make sure that I knew if I had questions down the road, they are there for me.   As he stated this company is not only here to install the fence but also to help with service if I ever need it.   I am so glad that I decided to install this underground fence. My pups  can now play and be safe in their yard.  If you are looking to install an underground fence reach out to Dog Watch of the Twin Cities.  You will not be disappointed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DogWatch absolutely exceeded my expectations. After having a pool installed, I needed repairs to my electric dog fence and reached out to them for help. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding.

Not only did they do excellent work and get everything functioning perfectly again, but they also charged a very fair and honest price. It's rare these days to find a company that delivers such high-quality service without making you feel like you're being overcharged.

What really set this experience apart was Jake. He was incredibly personable, professional, and genuine. What started as a service call turned into a 45-minute conversation about life. It's not often you meet someone who takes the time to connect on a personal level while still providing top-notch service. Jake is the kind of person who makes you feel like you're more than just another customer.

In a world where customer service often feels rushed and transactional, DogWatch stands out. They were knowledgeable, trustworthy, fair, and genuinely cared about helping me. I couldn't be happier with the work they did or the experience they provided.

I highly recommend DogWatch to anyone needing pet fence installation or repairs. Great company, great people, and exceptional service.

10/10 experience. Thanks again, Jake and the DogWatch team!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have had our fence for years and are extremely happy with it! We just needed our first repair after our wire was cut during tree removal, and Dog Watch came out within days of my initial call. They are extremely friendly and responsive- you won’t find better customer service!

Finally figured out what was wrong with our invisible dog fence. The mediacom fiber optics people cut our wire, didn't tell us, did a half ass fix with duct tape and a utility flag and then buried it. Jake the Owner of DogWatch came out, found the problem, and fixed it properly for us. I highly recommend them if you're looking to get your invincible fence fixed or a new one installed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had Jake out to my house this week to get my dog fence repaired. He did a great job figuring out where their was a damaged wire. We are so relieved to have it up and running again. If anyone has a dog fence that needs repair don’t hesitate to give them a quick call. If I could give them 10 stars I would! I appreciate you guys! Rex Maple Grove Mn

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Jake and Afton.  They installed our invisible fence 5 years ago and it has worked perfectly.  Anytime we have a question or damage a line, they are super responsive.  This is the type of local business you want to support.

"Two months ago we got a great new dog but could not keep him contained in our yard. We got phone calls every time we left the house telling us that he had escaped again, and we worried for his safety. I called DogWatch and we had an appointment for a consultation just a few days later. Within the week, the fence was installed and the problem was literally SOLVED that day. As a veterinarian and a dog owner, I would highly recommend this company."

Common Questions

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.

DogWatch is a privately-owned, people-oriented company that takes pride in our commitment to exceptional customer service. We strive to create the best pet containment products in the industry, and have been "surrounding pets with freedom" since 1990. Our engineers constantly research and develop new ways to make our products the safest for your pet and the easiest for you to use in your home.
