Fence Features

 What is Safelink ®?

Safelink is our patented FM digital technology that provides the 100% protection against accidentally being shocked from any stray radio signals. DogWatch is the most secure invisible dog fence system available. All invisible fences use an AM frequency which cannot give security against false activation.

 AM Verses (FM Safelink ™)

Why use FM? – Security! – the Police, Fire Brigade & Ambulance service all use FM, the FM digital signal ensures that no interference is received. An easy comparison is tuning your radio to an AM radio station, you will receive interference from other users on similar channels – this can be the same with the hidden dog fence and in order to keep your petsafe from a stray activation of the collar DogWatch hidden systems use our patented FM technology – Safelink.

• FM receivers ignore AM signals.
• Can work in electrical noise environment.
• Output power remains constant with the amount of modulation.
• Can be attached to metal or stock fencing without loosing signal!

Electrical noise sourced (televisions, computer monitors, light dimmers, motors, etc) are most likely to cause false activations on AM systems.

Furthermore, the FM signal is not lessened, nullified or reduced by electrical live cables and can also be safely attached to any metal fencing without loss or reduced signal.

 

Lifetime Warranty

DogFence offer a Lifetime warranty on our System 1200 & Performance Series transmitters and receiver collars and a 2 year warranty on our GroundsKeeper & Indoor transmitters (all receiver collars for these systems are also covered by the lifetime warranty). Your warranty even extends to dog chews on the dog’s receiver and, naturally, all our receivers are 100% waterproof and extremely tough to withstand the rough & tumble of the liveliest dogs!

FastReact ™

With the FactReact transmitted code the receiver will respond in less than 0.125 seconds. A dog running at 20mph covers 14ft in 0.5 seconds. At 10 mph, on our nearest competitors system a dog could get 7 feet into the correction zone before the receiver would activate. The dog would only get 1.75 feet with the FastReact ™ system, therefore your pet cannot out run the DogWatch system. All our receiver collars use FastReact software ®.

Two Year Battery Life

No hidden costs when you purchase a DogWatch Hidden Fence. Our R1200 & R8 DogWatch receiver boasts a two-year battery life ... the longest in the industry! (The R7 & R1200M have an impressive a 6 month battery life but weigh only 40g which is the longest battery life for a receiver of this dimension & weight and we also offer an automatic battery renewal programme. Simply call us to purchase a new battery or pick up a battery online (You can also purchase an authorized battery from a local store).

Auto Shutdown

In the event that your pet accidentally gets stuck in the correction area the pets receiver collar will shut down after 15 seconds to allow the pet to exit the zone. The receiver collar will revert back to the normal status instantly once the dog or cat is within the safe zone. All other pet’s collars will continue to function as normal – the auto shutdown will only be applicable to the collar which is “stuck” in the avoidance zone.

AutoMemory ® (Performance Series System only)

Each dog has their own correction level set according to their breed, age or personality. In addition to this the Performance Series collars constantly monitor your dog’s level and if necessary adjust the training level. The receiver correction level will increase by ONE LEVEL if your dog enters the avoidance zone twice in any 24 hour period. The receiver lifts the level for a maximum of 24 hours and then, providing the pet stays out of the signal field automatically adjusts the receiver back down to the original level set. This feature gives extra security for customers whose dogs have added temptation to leave the boundary, i.e. sheep, deer, poultry & game etc.

The AutoMemory ® also communicates with the Status light and the light indicator on the receiver collar will let you know if your pet has challenged the boundary (TattleTale ®. TattleTale ® is a great feature for new dogs to the system and also for customers whose dog may try to challenge the boundary. The status light will also let you know that your battery is running down and will remind you to change the battery.

Status Light

Our Performance Series Systems also contain a status light that lets you know the status of the battery. The status light will warn you when the battery is running low (6 months on the R7 and 2 years on the R8) and will also let you know if your pet has challenged the boundary.

Anti Linger

Once trained your dog will react to the warning beep, indeed most dogs will know to the cm where the collar activates and will avoid entering the beep area. However, as added protection if your dog enters into the warning beep zone and lingers in this area for more than 8 seconds the collar will emit a correction at the level set.

Response Hang on Time?

What is response hang on time? – this is the time it takes the receiver to shut down after the pet has left the correction zone, i.e your pet as responded and left the zone and the correction should stop. With DogWatch our response hang on time on all our receiver collars is less than 0.1 seconds and from our competition 4 – 5 seconds! We leave our customers to decide why DogWatch has consistently been voted a Consumers best buy and is the preferred choice of many vets and animal behaviorists worldwide.
