DogFence - Cats

Cat containment made easy

Every year 300,000 of the UK’s 7.5 million cats are killed or our roads. Our manufacturer, DogWatch recognise that cats deserve the same quality and protection that they have offered to dogs for 20 years. Recent advances in both technology and animal behaviour training have allowed DogFence to boast an affordable, simple and effective method of cat containment. As with our dog owning customers we offer top quality products together with recognised animal behaviour training to give unrivalled success.

Much of the information on our web site relates to dog’s but cats can and are safely contained using the DogWatch hidden fence systems. Naturally we recommend that you choose from either our lightweight R7 or R1200m receivers – weighing 40g inc battery they are small enough and light enough for all breeds of cats.

How Do I Train My Cat on a cat fence?

Our unique patent pending cat training programme offers a simple stress free and safe approach. We cannot offer the same training for cats as we do for dogs as a cats personality differs dramatically. Cat’s will rarely walk on a lead and do not accept verbal training in the same way that we use for dogs so why should their training be lead orientated? Their movement is different and, therefore, so should their training programme be different. Our training programme takes into account cats natural curiosity, movement and mentality and has been tailored to suit a cats personality.

Cat fence training is simple and effective. DogFence can either install your system, set up your receiver collar and initiate the cat training programme or you can order as a self installation kit with our valuable support at the end of the phone or email. For our self install customers and our installed customers we will give you written information on cat training protocol and we are always only a phone call away. As with dogs no two cats are the same but we would expect your pet to be fully competent with the system within 2 weeks.

Our starting levels on both the R7 & R1200m have been carefully considered to take into account that cats may need low level stimulation. All our cat collars come with a choice of coloured mini or extra small collar straps and are available with elastic comfort straps as well.

When installing a system for cats or for both cats and dogs, it is important to closely consider the placement of the boundary wire to avoid enabling the cat to climb out over the signal field. The signal field can be easily adjusted on the transmitter from 2ft – 12ft depending on your property size and containment issue.

As with all our systems your cat can also be trained to the indoor system – I50. The I50 works with your receiver collar (R1200m or R7) and can be placed to exclude your cat from rooms, stairways, beds or sofas. Further information on the I50 is available on our web site or call us for more information.

Mandy Setchell,Herts: After losing two cats, in quick succession, to road accidents we purchased one of your fences. Our garden is "established" so we were worried that your installer might have problems. To our amazement, he ducked, dived and burrowed into all corners and sides with apparent ease!!

I was worried the collar might be a little heavy, but it has not troubled her all. THANK YOU!!
