Why Do Our Customers Think DogWatch is the Best Dog Fence?
Susan Kaput, Dartmouth, MA
Thank you Holly and Randy!
I've had a DogWatch Hidden Fence System for several years now (4, I think). Holly and Randy have been so helpful and stand behind their product. And our dogs stand behind it too (smile). They really respect that boundry, which is a huge relief to me, as we live on a busy street. Great Product!

Thank you, Holly and Randy
I just want to let you know how happy David and I are with the decision to invest in the Hidden Fence. Luna, our two year old stray dog from Portugal was a lost cause. Her ability to escape had led her to adventures at police stations around the city of Copenhagen, and our dread at losing her was constant. When we moved back to the US a month ago, we were looking forward to having the french doors to the deck open all summer, with the kids playing in the garden and running free in the neighborhood. We feared that this wouldn't be the case given Luna's record of escaping.
David and I were skeptical of the hidden Fence System, all our hopes were pinned on the silly flags around our yard and we just didn't believe they (or the shock) would deter Luna from running away. Well, we were wrong!!!
Luna has free reign of the yard but she has not run away. Within 24 hours of activating the fence we saw tremendous changes in her behavior. She gets angry at the flags, growls and barks at them, runs the perimeter of the garden but she has only crossed the line twice in a month! Even when other dogs, people or cars come by, all the temptations Randy mentioned, she doesn't cross the boundary.
We couldn't be happier. Luna couldn't be happier. But most importantly, we don't worry anymore.
Thanks for your wonderful system and Randy, thanks for your good insights and determination with Luna-it was contagious!

I had Holly and Randy install the fencing for my two rescue babies over 4 years ago. Randy spent a really long time teaching me the easiest way to get my very shy dog to know her boundaries. He was so professional and patient and won both my dog and myself over in minutes.
Since installation, Holly has come twice to repair damage to my fence from impatient lawn guys, never a recrimination and ALWAYS pleasant and professional. They are wonderful folks offering an exceptional product/service.

The System is awesome! Thank you so much.
The training was miraculously successful- Ella picked it up quickly and Randy's training tips were worth gold. Slapping the flags and creating a little "ramp" for her to go out the driveway on leash worked really well. We just started taking her off the property on leash yesterday, which has made life easier. The weeks of training are a large commitment, but oh so worth it. Ella got zapped a few times, but never cried or freaked out, just backed right up into her safe zone. We even had her favorite boyfriend dogs walk by the driveway and she didn't run through the flags. We did have to tighten the collar and turn it up to medium high to get her to react noticeably to the correction.
Again, the system is awesome- thank you so much.

This company gave me an excellent deal, affordable for me and exactly right for my dogs's well being. This was about 8 years ago and they have answered my calls about functionality a few times (little stuff, dead battery and kid chopping though wire) They have been professional and helpful, right there to back their product.
They also trained the dog so she understood the fence when they first installed it. The dog therefore stayed well back after the first couple of days and completely understood her boundaries. It was great to have a professional trainer on board because I have seen other folks spend money on this type of fencing and not have a clue how to teach the animal how to cope with it - and that makes all the difference in the world.
I would say this product and service has an extremely good value. It made it possible for my family to enjoy a dog who might have been a little much to handle otherwise.
Thank you DogWatch of Cape Cod! Well done, and appreciated.

A Long Overdue Thank you...
for The DogWatch fence you installed last spring. It has changed Pippin and Thurber's lives! They have plenty of room for playing with ball, stick and each other. The fence works perfectly...except in rare cases of Chipmunk overdrive, when nothing could stop Pippin. Fortunately, it does contain him when other dogs walk by in the street.
Thanks so much for your help.

Fred is Very Happy
The installation was easy and the training equally so. For two years the invisible fence has worked perfectly. It is the best thing we ever did for Fred, our golden retriever, and our peace of mind. Great company!

Toby's New Fence
We wanted you and Randy to know how pleased we are with the buried fence that you installed at our home in Centerville several months ago as well as with the training that Randy provided. Toby quickly learned his roaming limits and has never once followed me out of his area nor has he left his area in pursuit of squirrels, dogs or people. He seems happy with his collar and is always excited when I put it on so that he can go out and play.
In spite of our taking him back to our home in CT every few weeks, he never seems to forget his Cape Cod boundaries when we returns to Centerville. Your great installation and training has given us much peace of mind when we let Toby out of the house and on his own.

Holly and the crew are terrific! Friendly, helpful, professional and efficient, installing Dog Watch was some of the best money I’ve ever spent. The team explains the process in detail and is readily available to answer any questions or concerns that arise. Daisy, my four year old Basset/Lab mix figured it out pretty quickly and is getting used to life off of a tether. Thanks , Dog Watch!!

Simply the Best. Randy and Holly are terrific.
They're nice, easy to work with, and utterly reliable. The dogwatch system was installed when we moved into our house over 10 years ago and since then we've replaced receivers and collars, adjusted the fence perimeter and installed zones. Every time I've called, the response has been prompt and the service impeccable. I can't imagine using anyone else and would recommend them to anyone....

Thank you to the team at DogWatch of Cape Cod for helping make my families life with a puppy enjoyable and safe. You are such a great team of personable, caring professionals! Thank you for taking the time to get to know us, our property and Timber! Your response to my scheduling needs as well as immediately fixing a compromised wire due to pesky voles was worth its weight in gold. Bravo! And thanks again!

I have used Randy Hoyt (Dogwatch of Cape Cod) for both of my homes in MA and their system was able to contain some very strong willed dogs! I also have to commend them on their customer service. When I was having some issues with the system (operator error) they came out within days and walked me through what I needed to do. They can't be beat. I've referred them to many others over the years and all of the feedback I've received has been fantastic. Have no worries in working with them.

Thank you!
I just wanted to thank both you and Randy for such a seamless and perfect experience with Dogwatch! I had a lot of questions and concerns about this system and they all were put to rest. It almost seems too good to be true and too easy. Randy trained all three girls in no time or maybe it was me! All I have to do is say careful and I get an immediate response. I love it!! I would be happy to be a reference for anyone that might need it. Your prices also were the best.

Thank You!!
I recently had to call DogWatch of Cape Cod on a Saturday afternoon. I wasn't expecting a call back, given that it was the weekend and a sunny day, but my message was returned with the hour. What a wonderful surprise! Holly spent about 1/2 hour on the phone, helping me trouble-shoot the system. It is not often that you encounter someone so committed, friendly, and helpful. Holly and her husband have provided me with the most fantastic customer service since day one. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend DogWatch of Cape Cod to anyone who is installing an invisible fence.

We had nothing but positive experiences with Dog Watch of Cape Cod. We only delt with Holly and she is so sweet and helpful. She answered all our questions, gave accurate pricing, and sent out a second collar right away when our new puppy was ready. She did excellent training our dog! Within 2 weeks our boy was able to use the hidden fence to it's full potential. We now are able to just open up the door & let the dogs run without a worry! We are expecting our first child in September & this hidden fence just took a huge pain and worry off our shoulders! We recommend a hidden fence and if you want the best, hire Dog Watch of Cape Cod! Thank you Dog Watch for making our dogs so happy in their new yard!

During our initial consultation with Holly, she fully explained the DogWatch system, costs, time-frame for installation and training process to teach our dog to recognize the boundaries without any fear or sense of punishment.
Installation was scheduled and happened as planned. Holly and Randy answered any/all of our questions before and after the job. Over the years since then, they've continued to be fully responsive when I've needed to replace collar batteries and when I inadvertently cut through the wire while planting.
The system has been reliable and maintenance-free ( other then the wire cutting accident that was my own fault). We were able to have Piper outside with us at every opportunity, even with the deepest snowfall. The collar batteries proved to have a long life and we never experienced a failure.
It has been a complete pleasure to find such a quality product backed by first class customer support provided by Holly and Randy Hoyt, owners of Dogwatch of Cape Cod.
