SmartFence FAQs - DogWatch®
What is the DogWatch® SmartFence?
The DogWatch® SmartFence is an advanced pet containment system designed to keep your pets safe while giving them the freedom to roam your yard. It is a combination of an invisible fence and a training tool, providing a wireless boundary that allows your pets to play within a designated area.
How does the SmartFence work?
The SmartFence uses a combination of a buried wire perimeter and a receiver collar worn by the pet. The wire emits a low-frequency radio signal that creates a virtual fence. When your pet approaches the boundary, the receiver collar emits a warning sound. If your pet continues to approach, it delivers a mild static correction, reminding them to stay within the designated area.
Is the SmartFence safe for my pets?
Yes, the DogWatch® SmartFence is safe for your pets. The static correction delivered by the receiver collar is mild and harmless, similar to a gentle static shock you might experience from static electricity. It is designed to startle your pet and discourage them from crossing the boundary. The intensity level of the static correction can be adjusted based on your pet's size and temperament.
Can the SmartFence be customized for my yard?
Absolutely! The DogWatch® SmartFence is highly customizable to fit the unique layout of your yard. Our professional installation team will work with you to determine the best placement of the buried wire and create a customized boundary that suits your needs. Whether you have a small yard or a sprawling estate, the SmartFence can be tailored to provide the perfect containment solution.
Will the SmartFence work for any type of pet?
Yes, the SmartFence is suitable for most types of pets, including dogs of all sizes and breeds. Additionally, it can be used for cats and other small animals. Our team of experts will assess your pet's individual needs and provide appropriate training to ensure they understand the boundaries and feel comfortable within the designated area.
Can the SmartFence be used with multiple pets?
Absolutely! The DogWatch® SmartFence can accommodate multiple pets. Each pet will be fitted with a receiver collar that is programmed to respond to the signals emitted by the buried wire. Our training programs can be tailored to address the specific needs of each pet, ensuring a safe and harmonious environment for all.
What happens if there is a power outage?
During a power outage, the SmartFence system will continue to operate as long as the receiver collar has a functioning battery. Our collars come with long-lasting battery life, typically lasting several months before needing replacement. However, it is important to regularly check the battery level to ensure uninterrupted functionality.
Can the SmartFence be installed on any type of ground?
Yes, the DogWatch® SmartFence can be installed on most types of ground, including grass, soil, concrete, and even underwater. Our expert installers have experience working with various terrains and will ensure a secure and reliable installation that suits your specific landscape.
Is training required for my pets?
Yes, training is an essential part of introducing your pets to the SmartFence system. Our professional trainers will guide you through the training process, teaching your pets to recognize the boundaries and respond to the warning signals and static corrections. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, your pets will quickly understand the system and enjoy the freedom it provides.
