Gifts For Pet People

The Art of Training Your Dog by The Monks of New Skete and Marc Goldberg

Get those 2021 New Year’s Resolutions off to an early start with this informative, engaging and beautiful new book. The Monks of New Skete, renowned dog trainers and longtime breeders of German Shepherd dogs, walk you through how to gently teach good behavior using an “e-collar” (or remote trainer). Using a light touch – one that many humans may not even feel – at just the right moment, helps to focus a dog’s attention. The authors help you create effortless teaching moments that tie into your dog’s natural pack instincts and help strengthen the bond with your dog. In as little as 6 weeks, you and your dog can master skills like leash training, recall and place. By Spring, you two will be impressing the whole neighborhood!

Gifts from DogWatch!

Did you know that our nearly 200 independent DogWatch dealerships are 100% locally owned and operated? You can shop small this holiday season by contacting your local DogWatch Dealer, and asking them about our two new Indoor Boundary products!

MB-1 Indoor/Outdoor Mobile Pet Boundary

DogWatch’s newest pet containment solution is the MB-1, a versatile battery-operated mobile boundary can be used either indoors or outdoors to create a pet-free zone. The MB-1 is waterproof for outdoor use and is portable thanks to its rechargeable battery. This wireless boundary is easy to set up wherever you need it. The MB-1 creates a pet-free zone up to 8 feet in diameter (4 feet from the center). If you’re looking for a portable boundary that can be used anywhere to protect a small area (trash can, a new couch, flower gardens, your Christmas Tree, etc.), this is a perfect choice! Plus, our indoor systems work with the same DogWatch receiver collar as our Outdoor Hidden Fences. Give your local DogWatch Dealer a call today, and help restore the peace this holiday season!
