What is the light on the transmitter?

The status light on the transmitter lets you know if the transmitter is turned on. On the MB-1, the status light also lets you know the status of the transmitter battery. If the light is red, the battery needs to be charged. See Owner’s Guide for additional information. Note: The green light may be steady green or blinking green. This depends on the frequency setting of the transmitter.

How do I increase and decrease the signal range (the distance the signal radiates from the transmitter) to make the “off-limits” avoidance zone area larger or smaller?

On the back of the transmitter, there is a signal range knob. Turn the knob toward the ‘+’ to increase the signal range. This increases the size of the signal field. Turn the knob toward the ‘-’ to decrease the signal range. This decreases the size of the signal field.

Do I need separate collars for inside and outside?

You do not need separate collars. Use the same collar inside and outside.

How large can I make the “off-limits” area?

The MB-1 can be adjusted up to a maximum of 8 feet in diameter (4 feet in all directions from the transmitter.) Important: Do not set the transmitter on or near large metal objects.

The Perfect Way to Create a Pet-Free Space Indoors or Outdoors

The MB-1 is a versatile battery-operated mobile boundary that can be used either indoors or outdoors to create a pet-free zone. It is fully wireless, so it is easy to set up wherever you need it. The MB-1 is waterproof for outdoor use and it has a rechargeable battery.

The MB-1 creates a pet-free zone up to 8 feet in diameter (4 feet from the center). If you want a portable boundary system that can be used anywhere to protect a small area (trash, counters, furniture, flower gardens, sandbox, etc.), this is a perfect choice. Works with all DogWatch FM receivers.

Weather resistant

Indoor or outdoors, we’ve got you covered. Waterproof and tough, the MB-1 is designed to withstand rainy days, the sun’s rays and even splashing pups.

Portable

Set boundaries, anywhere you go! The wireless MB-1 can be moved from one no-go zone to another depending on your needs and your pet’s behavior.

Long-Lasting Battery

Set and it and forget it! The MB-1’s rechargeable battery can last up to 30 days on one charge.

Adjustable

The size of your no-go zone is flexible and customizable! Use the MB-1 to set a big boundary around your garden bed, or a smaller boundary around the kitchen island.

I’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.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a rewire of a fence I purchased years ago, for a new dog. Very happy with the service, the information provided, and the training info advice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I ordered a new part on the website, but forgot to finish my email address. I received a call from a customer rep and she informed me of the problem and fixed it for me. That kind of customer service is rare.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’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 Fence

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company to work with.  Took time to get to know the dogs & the property.  Helped with training the dogs with the fence.  Great customer service during installation and years later.   We are totally satisfied and recommend this system and company.

You Asked, We Answered

DogWatch Indoor Pet Fences emit a radio signal that is detected by the receiver collar worn by your pet—the same way the outdoor hidden fence systems work. As your pet approaches the signal field (initially marked with a series of flags to help your pet identify the area), the receiver collar begins to emit an audible (or vibration) warning beep. If your pet goes beyond the warning zone, the warning is quickly followed by a ‘correction’—a mild electrical stimulation from the receiver collar. With proper training, your pet will quickly learn to stay away from areas that he associates with the warning.

The battery life of the MB-1 is determined, in part, by the rate setting and the range setting you select. The rate setting determines how frequently the signal is transmitted (fast, medium or slow.) The range setting is the distance the signal radiates from the transmitter. (See Owner’s Guide for additional information.)

When set at maximum range, the life of the battery charge is approximately:

4 days in ‘Fast’
7 days in ‘Medium’
30 days in ‘Slow’

Decreasing the range setting will increase the average battery life between charges.
