Why Do Our Customers Think DogWatch is the Best Dog Fence?

Paula – Orono, MN

I highly recommend Guy and Afton!!!!

Wow! Quick, responsive and friendly. We live on a busy road and our dogs use to bolt out the back door and take off running. After 3 days of training (thanks Afton!) they know their boundaries and are loving life outside. We get to enjoy our dogs outside now!

I love that this company is so dedicated to making sure you not only have a great underground system but also that your dog has great training to use with the new fence system!

This fence has changed our lives. No exaggeration. We were able to contain our 2 dogs in 6 acres at an affordable cost. When Guy told us that we would be able to leave our house- with the dogs out- and not worry about them- I didn’t believe him. BUT HE WAS RIGHT! Three years later and we are still so thankful we have this fence.

Guy and Afton were amazing! Their availability produced immediate results in my dogs. The experience started off great when Guy arrived to install the fence. He walked us through each aspect and explained the importance of the training, the attention to detail, and how we as the customer can save money in the long run. Following the installation, Afton came and trained our dogs. The sessions that she had with them fit around our schedule and were produced to ensure timely results. Highly effective and I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a great and cost effective invisible fence. Thank you DogWatch!

Debi – Mendota Heights, MN

Guy and his darling pup Tripp came out to install my fence the day very quickly after my first inquiry call. My property was more challenging than he anticipated but he stood by his phone estimate. He did a great job "training me" and my problem dog (I call her Houdini) is staying inside the fence!! Thanks for the excellent service.

Judy – Chanhassen, MN

Guy installed our fence 13 years ago and he has been incredible all these years. Every time I needed anything he has taken care of it immediately. The street sweepers just came by and pulled up our wire by the driveway and broke the loop. He was there taking care of it within a couple of hours. Absolutely excellent customer service!

Dog watch has been an absolutely fantastic company to work with.  Afton, Guy and the entire team have supported us with our last dog and now our newest dog.  Afton has personally trained both dogs on the invisible fence, and we've had great success because of her gentle, patient way with our dogs.  This was really helpful for us because it allowed our dogs to get the fewest shocks possible, and Afton was also to get our dogs up to speed on the fence in a matter of days.  Dog watch is a very professional company-they worked around our schedule, did everything we asked, and was there for us when we had questions we forgot to ask the first time (such as how do we introduce our dog to the neighbor's dog who also has a fence).  Last but not least, we've never had any issues with our fence, collar, or any of the products we've purchased from them working-everything has been perfect. We also recommend trying out the Sidewalker and the Indoor Boundaries (IB-100) as products that have really made our lives better.  We used the IB-100 to teach our dog to stay out of part of our kitchen, so we can cook without our dog underfoot. So nice!!  Last but not least, Dog Watch clearly cares about its customers--both human and canine, and we felt so lucky to work with them.  We will always use Dog Watch, and I'm writing this review because I hope that you too will support our fabulous local business owners!!!

Kathryn – Bloomington, MN

Guy was fabulous to deal with - so fast in his response to our request - he walked our entire yard with us twice and answered all of our questions and concerns. He installed the fence the next week working around our time restrictions and then came back that night to train us on the fence. We found that the more expensive service for training the dogs was not necessary, we were taught everything that was necessary. The entire experience was great and we would recommend Guy and DogWatch without any hesitation.


Catherine – Maplewood, MN

Guy Treanor is amazing. I still can't believe how easy and seamless this transaction was. I called him on Sunday, and the fence was installed on Monday by noon. It was not necessary for him to come out and do an estimate in advance. He took the information over the phone, came out, did the work and called me upon completion. At this point, I met Guy at the house, where he provided me with training information. I opted to train the dog myself to save money. Guy is very efficient and considerate of the customer's time and schedule. He emailed training information in advance to give me a chance to review it. He is also very hands-on and personable and encourages follow-up phone contact to insure that the training is going the way it should, etc. The dog is already starting to figure out which side of the yard is good and which side is bad. This system is the best ever. I am already planning to install another system at a second property for cat containment. This beats a traditional fence any day!


Kendra – Chaska, MN

We compared various styles of "invisible" dog fences, and felt that DogWatch was the best quality and the one that made the most sense long-term. 16 years later, we're still extremely happy with it. Guy got the installation done very quickly and with a minimum of noise and mess. He also spent time in-person, on the phone, and via email to make sure the training was going well. Over the years, the fence has broken several times, and we've had dead batteries and one collar that died, and Guy has helped us consistently with repairs and replacements.

One of the best things about Guy is that he responds very quickly, even for minor questions/concerns, and often will help over the phone or via email so that he doesn't need to charge you for a visit.


Benjamin – Rockford, MN

Guy and Afton were very informative, personal and professional. They cared about my dog and her safety as well as meeting the needs of our family to contain her in the largest space possible. They went above and beyond to earn our business and the cost was competitive. Ultimately prefer a Dad and Daughter business to a commercial business that only sees the dollar signs so the decision was easy to go with Dog Watch. So far so good with training and keeping Coco contained, she loves our yard.

Breanne – Marine on St. Croix, MN

Guy and Afton were absolutely fabulous to work with! Afton was very informative about the services and timely in her responses, both phone and email. Guy provided a great service. He was on time to the installation appointment and spent time with us after training our dog on the new fence. Would recommend them to close family and friends.

DogWatch provided more than an electric fence. With Guy's instruction, they provided confidence that our dogs would remain safely in our yard. We have raised four Boxers over the last decade and none have left the yard. We are grateful to Guy for his service over the years.

I recommend DogWatch for anyone with doggie escape problems!
My black lab mix was enamored with chasing cars on the highway. A regular fence and gate across the driveway would have been a nightmare in the winter. After checking out all the possibilities online, DogWatch seemed to be the best. I called, installation was scheduled and done on time. Guy spent plenty of time with me and my dog. After one lap around the perimeter over a month ago, she has accepted the boundary and has stayed well inbounds ever since. I'm sure that if I had a problem, Guy would know and be able to advise a solution. Great company, great fence, great experience!

Paul – Elk River, MN

It really works! I honestly had some doubts about the effectiveness for the 5 dogs we have. Each dog is different, but when we followed the instructions as scheduled we found it it really works for each of them. I am very happy with the invisible fence. The service is excellent too!

Dog watch has been sensational to work with- from the initial quote (very reasonable), to the creative problem solving to get exactly what I wanted- a large area of the yard included but keeping the dog out of the gardens, and since it’s been installed troubleshooting my questions (my dog got out a couple times and it turned out she is so fluffy that she needs slightly longer prongs and Afton got them in the mail and I had them within 2 days). I also dropped my dog’s collar in the dog park, panicked, and emailed Afton who got right back to me (thank goodness I actually found it on a repeat dog park visit). This company has been nothing short of amazing. I got two quotes for our invisible fence and I am so grateful I went with them!!!

DOGWATCH IS FOR CATS TOO! Not only does DOGWATCH keep my dog Coco in the yard, it keeps my cat in the yard too! My cat Oliver likes to go outside for a few hours every day to run and play in the yard. He loves to climb trees and chase away the rabbits too! I used to let him run around the neighborhood but that wasn’t very nice for the neighbors and I was worried about him most of the time. Now I know that Oliver is close by and he usually comes right away when I call for him! I remember the day that Guy helped me train him - Oliver felt the shock and then looked at all of the white flags. He knew exactly what was going on and learned the boundary faster than my dog! DOGWATCH is so much more user friendly that the competition. Last fall my landscapers broke the line and I went out and fixed it myself! It was a simple connection and it’s worked perfectly since! And replacing the batteries is so simple although I haven't had to do it very often. They last a long time! Guy and Afton were just fantastic to work with. I highly recommend DOGWATCH. It has been the best thing I have purchased in the last 5 years!
