Dog Watch is amazing! The owner Doug (of the western MA area) is so responsive and helpful! We had our fence cut a couple times from lawn care and he showed up at 530am to help fix the fence. His team is amazing! Between the training with Linda and the team that works to put the fence in, I highly recommend this company. Service: Dog fence installation

It was a pleasure working with Linda and Doug on our install for our invisible fence! Linda could see I was a bit nervous but we had a excellent consultation and she thoroughly explained how the fence works. It alleviated my nerves. When it came time for the install the team showed up promptly. They were very professional and kind and did an excellent job. I absolutely recommend the training with Linda! She was so great with my Chloe! I would recommend this company to everyone!

Thank goodness for Linda and Dog Watch! I had heard that getting the DogWatch fence was the best thing that people have ever done and I can attest to that statement. Having the fence installed and the dogs trained has alleviated so much stress in our home. I can let them out to run and play without worry knowing that they are safe with their fence. Linda and her team (including Rusty!) couldn't have been nicer or easier to work with. It was a really great process. Thank you Linda and DogWatch!

Our family decided to install an invisible fence once we got a second dog. Two of our neighbors used Dog Watch for their dog fences and highly recommended it! Linda, the owner, is awesome! She had multiple training visits after the installation. She is dedicated to her product and the well-being of the dogs is the most important to her. The fence gives us peace of mind when we let our dogs out (with supervision).
We love our dogs and this product keeps them safe. In her final visit, Linda made it clear that she is there for any questions or problems that may come up in the future. If you love our dogs the way we do, this is a very wise investment.

As a result of much research and consideration, we decided to inquire about a Dog Watch invisible fence to keep our 6 month old puppy safely contained. After an informational and pressure-free meeting with Linda, we decided to purchase the fence. Installation was quick and professional. The team listened to our questions and concerns and set the fence up to specifically meet our needs. Linda was a pleasure to work with.
Her knowledge of the product and genuine interest in our pet and family made for a meaningful experience. We are grateful to Linda and her team for providing us with the piece of mind that only this product could give us. Our Mayzie is safe and happy with plenty of room to roam!

I had a great experience working with Linda from DogWatch. She was very knowledgeable about the the fence system and answered all of my questions. She helped with the training of my dog and her dog assistant, Rusty, did a great job as well! She came back to our home on multiple occasions to adjust the collar or just to make sure my dog was getting the hang of it.
I would highly recommend Linda and her crew if you are thinking about getting a fence for your dog. I feel so much better knowing my dog will be safe and can enjoy her yard. Thank you!

DogWatch of Western MA was recommended by a friend, and we are thrilled with our new fence and the freedom it has given our puppy AND US! I can't say enough good things about Linda, the rest of the team and the product. Linda was great at explaining the technology (which differs from other types of hidden fences). The installation crew was pleasant, knowledgeable and accommodating to where we wanted our dog to be able to roam.
We could have chosen to train our dog on our own, but we aren't the experts. So Linda came as many times as needed to train our pup. She brought her own beautiful dogs to help too to see if our dog would be enticed to cross his fence. We went from training mode to his final mode (which is flexible depending on the dog's needs) as slowly as needed.
We tested our dog in many ways before she felt he was ready to graduate. Linda was very thorough and definitely has lots of experience training dogs to be comfortable in their new fenced in yard. Every dog is different and she knows how to deal with each one. Price was right too! The whole experience was better than if we were to put in a physical fence.
I am confident that our dog will know his boundaries and not ever need to hear the warning beep or feel the correction. I know I can always call Linda if I have any questions or concerns.

We recently had the electric fence installed for our 1 yr old lab mix. The team that installed the fence was quick, professional and did an excellent job. Linda, the woman who came to train him was absolutely amazing! She came every day and made sure he could be trained properly before any money was exchanged. She was always friendly and great with our dog. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to install an electric fence in their yard! He just "graduated" and I feel safe bringing him out without his leash!

We had a great experience working with Linda! She did an amazing job explaining how the DogWatch system works, answering any and all questions we had, and then training our puppy once the fence was installed! After the first training session, we learned our dog is a bit more stubborn than we thought but Linda came back day after day and didn't stop until she was fully trained!
The sense of security and confidence we have now when we let our dog out is thanks to Linda and the fence! We are so happy we decided to go this route.happy dog, happy family!

After adopting a rescue puppy we quickly realized we would need a fenced in yard. In our neighborhood privacy fences are not allowed. Linda was recommended to us by a friend. I called her and quickly came to give me a quote and we were put on the schedule to have the install done. There weren't any surprises and pricing was exactly as originally quoted. Linda did all the training and after just 3 sessions with our rambunctious puppy she knew (mostly) not do go past the flags.
This was the best investment we could have made for our new puppy. She just runs and runs now. So extremely happy with everything about this fence. I would recommend her to anyone who asks. High high marks all around.
