Gas lines came through, marked my elc. Fence. Came when they said they would. Very nice man.+0Posted on Google
Steven MorrisSeptember 25, 2026This is such an excellent company. The staff are amazing. Our dog fence has been cut by street people, gardeners, and AT&T, and DogWatch was able to fix it every single time. Our fence has probably been nicked in seven different spots and they fixed it for a very affordable price every single time and they were fantastic to deal with. 100% would buy again. They also came five days early.Posted on Google

Lucky for them to be local to me, Very polite, very familiar with how to track down a cut in my underground fence. Made it easy for me, always will be my top call.

Todd DudleyMarch 22, 2026Repairing a Break in the circuit causing the fence to stop working. The service was quick and he also identified the cause of the break. He fixed the issue with the line crossing the concrete so that future problems with the undue wearing in the fence line wouldn’t arise.Posted on Google

You Asked, We Answered
The SideWalker is used to train dogs to walk on a leash without pulling and to reinforce appropriate leash walking behavior.
A sensor under the collar strap on the SideWalker is triggered by pressure when the dog pulls on the leash (or when you pull the leash to direct the dog into the desired position.) When the sensor is activated, the dog receives either a vibration or a stimulation. The SideWalker should be set to a level that is just enough to distract the dog from the pulling behavior. Most dogs learn quickly that the sensation stops when the pulling stops.
Several variables affect how quickly your dog’s behavior will change, most notably the personality of your dog and the environment in which you are training the dog. Most dogs begin to understand the relationship between pulling and the vibration/stimulation after several activations of the collar. The pulling behavior diminishes quickly in some dogs and more gradually in others. If there is no noticeable change in pulling behavior after a reasonable trial period, check the collar to make sure the fit is good and the contact posts are the correct size. If collar fit is appropriate and the dog continues to pull, the SideWalker setting should be increased one level.
The SideWalker is safe and effective on dogs as small as 6 pounds.
We recommend waiting until the dog is 4-6 months old.
The components in the SideWalker are specified to operate from minus 25 degrees (F) to 125 degrees (F). A significant and rapid change in temperature may temporarily disrupt some of the SideWalker functions until the device adjusts to the new temperature level.
