Lightning Protection

DogWatch® wants you to feel confident that your DogWatch system is protected should your home experience an electrical surge due to lightning. That’s why we’ve gone to extremes, like no one else, to equip your DogWatch Hidden Fence with both internal and external surge protection.

This means you have ultimate protection from electrical surges that travel (1) into your house through other sources or (2) through the underground boundary wire in your yard. This unique two-way protection was developed and thoroughly tested by experts in the field of lightning expressly for DogWatch products.

We’re so confident that our lightning and surge protection is unsurpassed, that we provide a lifetime warranty with your transmitter when your system is properly installed and grounded by your Authorized DogWatch® Dealer.

DogWatch cannot change Mother Nature or eliminate surges from hitting close to home, but we can help minimize the potential damage caused by surges to your DogWatch Hidden Fence System.

Internal Surge Protection

The DogWatch transmitter and power supply are each equipped with surge protectors to suppress surges coming in through your house wiring and divert them to your house ground.

External Surge Protection

The DogWatch external surge protector directs power surges and lightning from the boundary wire to the ground rod into the earth and away from your home.

The DogWatch power supply and surge protector are also UL –approved in the U.S. and Canada.
