Electronic Pet Fence Installation, Electronic Pet Fence Service,

About us

We're Wayde, Iris, and Carrie Barnes, the founders and operators of DogWatch of Southern Kentucky. We install and service underground pet fences in 44 counties in Southern Kentucky and 12 counties in Northern Tennessee that lie along the Kentucky border. DogWatch of Southern Kentucky has been in business for 17 years. We currently serve over 1,600 customers in Southern Kentucky and many areas of Northern Tennessee. The ratio is 1.67 dogs perhousehold, so we estimate that these customers represent over 2,672 dogs, and appoximately 20 cats we've successfully trained on the system. We have no employees and don't hire any contract labor, so all of the work is performed by us. We're all fully trained and have a combined 30 years of experience between us. One of the most important parts of a successful containment is the training of your dog. That's why our company policy is that your dog will always be trained by one of the owners of our company, no exceptions. We'll complete the initial 1/2 hour training session as soon as we finish the installation, and then work with you to finish the training over the next week or so. Anything less than a 100% containment of your dog is unacceptable. When you've made your decision to purchase a DogWatch Hidden Fence from us, you'll have purchased the "Top-Of-The-Line" in dog fences. Your total price will include installation labor (500' of wire included), a lifetime warranty against lightning strikes, water damage (waterproof receivers), dog chews, two years worth of batteries, and professional training as needed.

DogWatch of Southern Kentucky installed our new underground fence today for our wild child. They are very friendly and answered any questions we had. You can’t tell that our yard was ever touched. Highly recommend DogWatch of Southern Ky. Wayde was recommended to us by our neighbor.

These guys are absolutely awesome! They installed my underground dog fence in just a couple of hours and even trained the dogs on the new fence! They were super nice and great to talk to! I have had the fence a little over a month now and my 2 Great Danes won't even go near the boundary line! If you need to keep your dogs on your property and safe give these guys a call hands down the best way to go!

Great experience. Very satisfied with fence. They took time to help work with my dogs before they left and explained what training I needed to do over the next few days.

We had DogWatch come install a fence for us about 3 weeks ago. I must say that our lives have gotten a lot easier. Hoss our Bassett Hound can roam and play in the yard having the time of his life while we have peace of mind knowing he is kept safe. Great service, Great product!! If you have ever questioned about getting a fence I would say don’t wait call today!!! Best decision my family made!!

Wayde did an excellent job with installation and training. He was on time and worked efficiently. With his instruction, we were able to completely train our puppy in three days! We love our DogWatch hidden fence and our puppy does too. The fence keeps her contained, but also allows her to romp and play within her boundaries. This is a quality product and we highly recommend it.

It has been a very positive experience. The installation was completed when promised. The training for my dog was excellent; my dog does not go near the boundary of the fence. Customer service is phenomenal. I texted tonight and asked about a problem that I was experiencing. Mr. Barnes was here within 30 minutes and quickly targeted and repaired the problem. That level of customer service is awesome. I highly recommend Dogwatch of Southern Kentucky.

I wish home purchasing could go as smoothly as having Dog Watch of So Ky install our underground fencing for our two Labs.  The installed , trained the dogs then trained my husband & myself.  Thank you Wayde, Iris & Kerry for making my dogs finally safe.  When we were city dwellers we had a fenced in yard .  Now that we live in the country our dogs can run, and that they do like to do.  Now I have peace of mind as to when they go out their doggy door that they are safe.  I was sick during the training phase and the Barnes' came out during family time to work with my dogs.  This type of customer service isn't found often anymore.  If anyone has any questions for me please contact Dog Watch of Southern Ky and the will pass my number along.  We call our dogs our girls because they are family and now they are safe !

It went great.  This is a family owned and operated company.  The whole family, (and a dog) came to our home.  They walked our property line with us and provided useful recommendations on where to put the fence.   Within a few hours the fence was installed and they were training our dogs.    All three family members were involved in the training.   The customer service and follow up provided to our family has been amazing.  We would use them again in the future and highly recommend them.

Went great Wayde Barnes is one of the nicest people you will ever deal with in business he is polite and answers all your question's. When you email or call him he will get right back to you. We recently had a little problem with our fence while my husband was working and Wayde came out on Easter Sunday to fix it so I wouldn't worry about my Shepherds getting out. To me that's top notch service.. Anyone thinking of an underground fence to keep there animals safe Wayde Barnes with Dog Watch is the best out there..
Response from DogWatch of Southern Kentucky
"Thank you for your review. It was great to see both you and Mark again, although under other than ideal circumstances. Sometimes, you just never know what causes your wire to break. I have hundreds of customers that I haven't seen in more than a decade, since their fences were installed. A select few seem to have more problems with broken wires than most. I think that it has to do with the makeup of their ground. Some have a very rocky content. Others have problems with rodents. Yours though was a mystery, as there were no rocks and no evidence of any rodents chewing it. It was just cleanly cut through the wire. Hopefully the next time we meet it'll just be for a friendly visit the next time we're in the area. We're here anytime though for anything that you may need or for any concerns that you may have. Feel free to call us at your convenience. Take Care."
