Dog Watch of Columbus came out and did a wonderful job installing the invisible fence for our pet. Pat offered a great, no-pressure quote and we were able to schedule very quickly.

Dog Watch came highly recommended by neighbors and friends. They were easy to work with, and the installer was thorough with the training. I'm just sorry I waited so long to get this done, it's going to give our dog so much more freedom.

The price was a bit higher than I liked, but they did a great job, arrived on time, and even used a type of wire that I requested specifically.

Excellent.

I called and spoke with their message service, left message that I had accidently cut the wire, and I asked for service repair.  Within the hour, Pat the Owner returned my call and we quickly agreed on a specific date and time for repair.  Steve the Service Manager arrived exactly on time, and performed a proper mechanical and electrical repair.  The owners and employees have been excellent performers. And their fence equipment (collars, controllers, power supplies, etc.) have been excellent performers.


I am very pleased with this company.  They have met and exceeded every commitment they've ever made to me.

Very well.  They trained my dog same day as fence installation.  If I had a question they responded quickly.  Replaced my dogs electric collar because he had chewed it.  Definitely would refer to my friends.

Installer did VERY clean work and the attention to detail was awesome in the garage where the dog fence and control unit are located. Wires were installed at 90 degree angles etc. 
The entire team was very professional and they did not try to over sell unneeded items.

Pat, the owner, handled most everything and was top notch in all respects. The company was even able to install the system in cold weather with some snow on the ground a couple of days ago and it's working just fine. We needed it as we have a new dog in the family that loves the outdoors. Soon he will able to run freely and enjoy the large yard. I highly recommend Pat and Dogwatch for your dog's electric fence.

Pat came out last year and provided an estimate for installing electric fence system we bought ourselves. Cost included install and an upgraded durable line. He was prompt in providing an estimate and getting the install completed - all within several days. The following spring our dog actually found and chewed a piece of exposed line coming out from garage. Pat immediately came out next day and fix line and put PVC around it; this was ll done at no charge. The again in August we called and some questions about some driveway construction we were doing, and Pat responded within an hour to answer our question. Overall great experience and responsiveness.

Pat came out and replaced our equipment and retrained our dog which was running through our old underground fence. I really appreciate that the equipment they offer is user friendly to the homeowner. The old system we had was only programmable by the company we purchased through, which we had to go to their office or pay a fee to have the settings changed. I also appreciate the fact that the battery life is so long and that it isn't a proprietary battery. The cost per year is an incredible savings! Our dogs are safe and sound in our yard!

The hidden fence sytem is awesome! DogWatch of Columbus is a great family owned business. They are super quick in responsing when you need something, The collars are expensive but worth it.....especially since you only need to change the battery once a year and our collars have truely lasted 10+ years! We trust DogWatch of Columbus to keep our dogs safe everyday!
