Keeping your Dog Safe

Keeping your dog safe while still allowing him the freedom to run and play in your yard is the whole purpose behind DogWatch of Utah. Susan Dinter and her husband Warren own and operate the only DogWatch franchise in the state of Utah, and they couldn’t be happier.

“This is the funnest business that I’ve ever been involved with,” Susan says. “We put in hidden fences for dogs and train them, so you know they’re safe.”

DogWatch has dealers throughout the world, but DogWatch of Utah won the Dealer of the Year Award in 2005 and is the fifth largest dealership internationally. And with the high quality products and service, Susan predicts their business will grow even larger.

The DogWatch hidden fence system is an antenna that runs along the borders of your home, your garden and your flower beds -- anywhere you want your dog to avoid. The collar/receiver is worn by the dog and will give him a warning pulse if he gets too close to the antenna. The shocks will increase in intensity as the dog gets closer, meaning he soon learns his boundaries.

After you purchase a DogWatch system, a representative will come to your home for two sessions to help with the training of the dog.
 “By the time we leave on that second visit, the owners can walk down the driveway and their dogs will stay put,” Susan says.

The DogWatch system has many safeguards that other hidden fence systems don’t. Each system comes with a surge protector and grounding rod to protect against lightning strikes. The lifetime of the DogWatch battery is two years, compared to just a few months with other systems. The collar/receiver is absolutely waterproof, even used by dogs that enjoy swimming. And DogWatch uses an FM signal and Safelink Technology to ensure continuous monitoring of your dog’s activities.

What many pet owners don’t realize is that the DogWatch hidden fence system can also be used inside the house to keep cats or dogs off countertops, furniture or out of other rooms in the home.  “I’ve had people say to me that this is the best money they’ve ever spent,” Susan says. “They say it has changed their life.”

The DogWatch system can be used for any breed of dog aged six months and up, and there is no limit on the number of dogs protected by the fence. The system is highly recommended by veterinarians and dog trainers and it has been recognized as a Consumer Digest’s Best Buy.
