Frequently Asked Questions

PawGuard keeps your dog safe within your garden without needing a physical fence. You set a boundary, your dog wears a lightweight collar, and when it approaches the boundary the collar gives a warning beep. If the dog continues, it provides a vibration and then a mild static correction if necessary. This helps dogs quickly learn their safe area.
