Q&A
How does DogWatch private dog training work with a hidden fence?
DogWatch of Greater Pittsburgh offers private dog training alongside their hidden fence installation. After your system is installed, a trainer works one-on-one with you and your dog at your home in Butler. This training teaches your dog the boundaries of the fence using positive reinforcement and proper collar stimulation. It ensures your pet understands where they can roam safely, and you learn how to operate the system effectively. The training is tailored to your dog’s personality and your property layout, giving you confidence that your pet will stay securely within the designated area.
What makes DogWatch hidden fences a good solution for Butler homeowners with irregular lots or hills?
Many Butler properties have uneven terrain, wooded areas, or steep slopes that make traditional fences difficult or expensive to install. DogWatch’s hidden fence systems are flexible and can be installed along any boundary, regardless of grade or shape. The wire can be buried or run through existing landscaping, and the signal strength can be adjusted to cover irregular patterns. Jack and Liz Goetz have experience working with Butler’s varied topography, including lots near the Connoquenessing Creek or along rolling hills in neighborhoods like Meridian. They design each system to avoid problem areas, such as ravines or drainage ditches, ensuring your pet is safe without compromising the beauty of your property.
Is the DogWatch hidden fence covered by a warranty, and what happens if something goes wrong?
Yes, DogWatch systems come with a lifetime warranty on the wire and a multi-year warranty on the collar receiver and transmitter. As a local dealer, Jack and Liz Goetz provide prompt service if any issues arise. They can test the system, repair breaks, or replace components—often within a day. If you experience a power outage or accidental cut to the wire, they have tools to locate and fix the problem quickly. This local support means you aren’t waiting on a national call center; you call the same people who installed your fence.
Company Background
DogWatch of Greater Pittsburgh, owned by Jack and Liz Goetz, has been serving Butler, PA, and the surrounding Western Pennsylvania area since 2001. Born and raised in the region, the Goetzes have built a top-tier dealership worldwide, training thousands of dogs and installing hidden fences for local homeowners. Their systems, recognized as a Consumers Digest Best Buy, use advanced safety mechanisms to keep pets secure within designated areas. Backed by a lifetime warranty, every installation includes sales, service, installation, and training—all handled locally.

DogWatch of Greater Pittsburgh is an authorized dealer of a national company founded in 1990, with corporate support from Natick, Massachusetts, but operates independently to ensure personalized service.

They are also familiar with landmarks like the Butler County Community College, the Butler Memorial Hospital, and neighborhoods such as Bonnie Brook and North Main Street. Whether you live near the historic Butler Courthouse or out in the rural countryside, they provide tailored solutions that respect your property and keep your pets safe.
