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.
