ProFence 1200® DIY Dog Fence

Professional-Grade Invisible Dog Fence for Any Breed or Property

The ProFence 1200® DIY Dog Fence is the original DogWatch® hidden fence system and the industry-leading DIY invisible dog fence. Built using the same patented SafeLink® FM digital technology found in professional installations, it delivers exceptional reliability, safety, and performance — even in challenging environments.

Designed to suit all dog breeds and sizes, from powerful working dogs to the smallest companion pets, ProFence 1200® offers customisable training, long battery life, and proven containment you can trust.


Why Choose the ProFence 1200® DIY Dog Fence?

Patented SafeLink® FM Digital Technology

Unlike cheap AM dog fence systems, ProFence 1200® uses a coded FM digital signal that dramatically reduces false activations caused by:

  • Power lines
  • Storms and lightning
  • Nearby metal fencing
  • Radio interference

This makes it the only DIY dog fence recommended for installation near chain-link fences or overhead power lines.


FastReact® Speed Detection Software (Exclusive)

FastReact® software measures your dog’s speed as they approach the boundary.
If a breakout attempt is detected, the collar responds in 1/8th of a second — the fastest reaction time of any dog fence system.

This ensures:

  • Consistent training
  • Reduced boundary testing
  • Safer, more reliable containment

Individually Programmable Receiver Collars

Every ProFence 1200® receiver collar is individually programmable, allowing you to:

  • Set different correction levels for different dogs
  • Avoid unsafe “auto-adjusting” collars
  • Train based on behaviour, not just distance

There is no need for separate “small dog” or “stubborn dog” collars.
