The DogWatch® Smart fence dog fence comes engineered with the Patented Safelink® Digital FM/DM signal software which minimises unintentional activation of the dogs programmable receiver collar. The SafeLink ® signal is secure enough, it can be placed on chain link or ColorBond® fences, under power lines and around dams completely minimising disruption of the transmitter/receiver relationship. 
The Smart Fence® works the same as our PT4 Professional system, with all the features of the PT4 except with so much more!
What makes DogWatch® Smart Fence Best?
Safety
The DogWatch® Smart Fence App System is the evolveddog fence system. Your pet will have the security of being contained by the technology with the most advanced features of any product. The Safelink FM/DM Digital Operating System ensures your pets Hidden Fence receiver collar doesn’t activate via alternative sources, unlike all other dog fence systems which are AM signals.
Reliability
The Smart Fence comes standard with our exclusive SPK10 external and internal Surge and Lightning protection helps keep your investment in working order. It also has an option for a battery back up system for power outages. As well as the above features, the Smart Fence cable is completely UV protected and a pure .5mm polyethylene coating making it the thickest and strongest on the market.
Quality
The Smart Fence® is engineered and built using industrial grade components, making it the leader in the longevity of your product and protecting your pet. From gold plated battery contacts, to the fiberglass infused, polycarbonate micro-vibration welded receiver collar case, your new Smart Fence is built to last. The Smart Fence comes with 5-Year Equipment Warranty.
Health
Ever wonder what your dog is up to during the day while you’re out or at work? The Smart Fence has exclusive activity monitoring that allows for you to see what your dog has been up to today, this week, or the entire month! With a direct link between the portal and the accelerometer enabled within the Smart Fence receiver collar, you’ll be able to see every hour whether your dog is sitting around, running like a crazy pup, or perhaps uncharacteristically non-active…which could mean there’s a health issue. Only the Dogwatch Smart Fence can inform you.
Innovation
In 26 years, not much has changed with dog fences. The fundamentals of all systems, in principle, all operate in a similar way. A Radio transmission follows a cable, and a collar receiver activates within proximity. But in 2016, things have changed. Add sophisticated App software, and expert telemetry engineering, along with Dogwatch® quality, and you have… the Smart Fence. We, and your dog… stop at nothing!

PT5 Hidden Fence Features
SafeLink®
Our patented digital SafeLink® FM technology provides the maximum protection against false activation caused by stray radio signals. FM technology is less prone to interference than the AM systems used by other brands, and that makes DogWatch the most secure hidden fence available.
Receiver Status Light
DogWatch receivers have a unique status light that provides valuable information to help keep your pet safely in your yard. It also lets you know if the receiver battery is low and if your pet has recently challenged the hidden fence.
Flexible Training Levels
The DogWatch transmitter and receiver offer up to twenty unique options (plus audible only) to ensure safe, appropriate containment for all pets. The settings are easy to understand and user adjustable (no service call required).
Range Setting
You can adjust the signal range (the distance the signal travels from the hidden wire) to meet the needs of your pet(s): a larger signal distance if you have large animals or a smaller range for small pets.
Lightning Protection
DogWatch Hidden Fences include the very best lightning/surge protection available as a standard feature. External protection directs power surges and lightning away from your home; internal protection suppresses surges coming in through your house wiring.
PowerPak™
Our optional PowerPak keeps your fence working temporarily if you lose power. With a PowerPak, you have added protection to ensure your pet’s safety. Provides up to 8 hours of backup protection.
FastReact®
DogWatch has the fastest reaction time in the industry. If your dog runs at the boundary, the receiver reacts with the warning signal before before he reaches the wire, not while he is traveling over it.
AutoMemory®
This patented safety feature automatically adjusts the receiver’s correction level if your pet challenges the boundary. This discourages additional boundary challenges. The receiver automatically resets to the original level after 24 hours without a boundary challenge.
TattleTale®
If your pet challenges his boundary, the status light on the receiver double flashes, an indication that you may need to adjust the fence settings. The receiver resets after 24 hours without a boundary challenge. TattleTale is a patented safety feature from DogWatch.
Audible or Vibration Warning Alert
All DogWatch systems include a warning signal to alert your dog that he is approaching the boundary. We offer either an audible or a vibration alert. Your pet quickly learns to stop at the warning signal – before he reaches the hidden wire.
GentleFit™ Contact Posts
Optional GentleFit™ Contact Posts are easy on your dog’s skin. They are smooth like our standard stainless steel contact posts to minimize friction and low profile for a comfortable Pet-Friendly™ fit.
Automatic Shutdown
The DogWatch system is designed to protect your pet from an over-correction in the unlikely event that your dog stands in the signal field and does not quickly exit. The receiver will automatically reset once the dog leaves the signal field.
High Impact, Waterproof
The DogWatch receiver is tested to withstand the harsh outdoor elements of rain, sleet and snow, as well as rigorous play!
Loop Monitor
Our Loop Monitor alerts you if there is a break in the boundary wire. This is an invaluable safety feature for underground fences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a SmartFence™ if I do not have Internet? You can use the Hidden Fence (the containment part of the fence) without the Internet. The communication part of the system (notification alerts, system settings and activity tracking) will not work without an Internet connection.
Can I use a SmartFence™ if I do not have a smartphone? Yes, you can still get text message and/or email alerts and you can access your SmartFence™ WebApp profile from any computer or other Internet enabled device.
Is the SmartFence™ WebApp available on both iPhone and Android devices? Yes, the SmartFence™ WebApp works on both iPhone and Android devices. The WebApp is not an “App” that you download in the App Store or Play Store. Instead, it is a progressive web app, accessible via any internet browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.). The WebApp can be saved to the home screen of your mobile device for easy access.
What will happen to my SmartFence if my Internet isn’t working? The Hidden Fence (the containment part of the fence) is not dependent on the Internet and will work as it should even if your Internet is turned ‘off’ or not working. If your Internet is turned ‘off’ or not working, you will not receive notification alerts, system settings and activity tracking until your Internet connection is restored.
What happens when my dog’s SmartCollar travels out of range of the Communication Portal? The SmartCollar™ is designed with the understanding that your pet will probably spend time in parts of the yard that may be beyond the transmission range of your SmartFence™ Communication Portal. That’s OK!
What if I do not have an extra Ethernet port on my router? The SmartFence™ requires the use of an Ethernet port. You may be able to add ports to your router by connecting it to an Ethernet switch. These devices should be available at stores such as JB HI-FI® or OfficeWorks®.
