Batteries

The R8 receiver is powered by a 3.6 volt lithium battery which is designed to last for two years.

(Competetive pet fence brands require seven or eight batteries for the same time period.)

A status light on the collar monitors not only that the system is functioning properly, but the training level, if the boundary has been challenged and when the battery is low.

Testing and Settings:

The test light magnet allows you to test the receiver as well as make adjustments to the 6 training levels. All the settings are designed to be Pet Friendly™ and will not hurt your pet in any way.

The system will shut down automatically after 15 seconds if your dog or cat is caught in the signal field.

Safelink FM digital technology allows the DogWatch® receiver to recognize and activate only to the unique DogWatch radio signal. This protects your pet from false activation caused by household and other electronic devices.

The Performance Series allows you to adjust the receiver individually for each animal. Consequently, any number of dogs and cats can be on the same system.

The new Performance Series Dogwatch Hidden Fence is compatable with the older System 3000.

Cost:

It is difficult to quote the cost of a system without information on the layout of your property.

We can give you a rough estimate by phone or email but it is generally more helpful to meet with you and discuss an installation specific to your home.

Dogwatch offers a competitive replacement program for any preferentially installed underground fence.

If you are unhappy with your present pet containment system or just want to have the latest in technology, we can offer you a trade-in on your system and may be able to use the existing wire.
