As a general guideline, your pet should be at least 4 months old. However, some dogs may mature earlier than others because of breed, size or disposition. If your pet can follow the three basic commands of come, sit, and stay; he may be ready for an electronic dog fence. When The Dog Guy Pet Containment staff meets with you and your pet, he will evaluate your dog and make a recommendation as to when training should begin.

The Dog Guy Pet Containment staff will conduct initial training with you and your dog. Our staff has developed an in-depth pet training program.

Our systems work with all breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs. However, this type of product is not intended for use with dogs that have a history of violent behavior.

If the initial training was done properly, this will rarely happen. If your dog does get out, check to make sure the collar is on securely. On our new receivers, check the status light. You may also increase the range of the signal to keep the dog further from the hidden fence or increase the correction level. Perhaps due to recent landscaping, there is a break in your underground wire that is invisible to your eye. There are many ways to adjust your DogWatch System. Take a look at our troubleshooting tips for solutions to common problems. Call us if you need help--we are always there for you and your dog.
