William AperanceOctober 8, 2026I’ve used Dogwatch in two homes over past 25 years. Allowed my three golden retriever's during this same time to have full access to my yard. Their service for the occasional minor repairs is extremely responsive. From installation, training all my goldens to service Ed and his staff has been superb!! Highly recommend.+0Posted on Google

Pam HoerupJuly 9, 2026We’ve had our dog fence for 4 years now and it’s been great! It’s safe for our dogs and I’m thankful we have it. Ed has come to fix it a couple times when we’ve snagged it and he tends to it right away. They’re on top of getting us new batteries, as well. I highly recommend this HiddenDog FencePosted 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.
