Can You Use a Hidden Fence Indoors?

Chances are if you’ve stumbled onto this page, you have a grasp on how an outdoor hidden dog fence works. These hidden pet boundaries are buried underground and use a signal receiver collar to alert your dog that they shouldn’t pass the invisible barrier.

The hidden fence technology has been a godsend to thousands of customers who want to manage their dog outside without going through the trouble of installing a physical barrier, which are often expensive, unsightly and require a lot of maintenance.

But can this same type of technology, which keeps your pup from running into the neighbor’s yard every time you let them out, also be used indoors to keep pets from wandering where they’re not permitted?

Absolutely—enter the indoor hidden pet fence, a solution you may not have known existed but probably won’t be able to live without. Here’s how it works.

Indoor Hidden Pet Fences

Much like their outdoor counterparts, indoor dog fences are specifically designed to keep your pet inside desired areas and outside restricted areas. They use the same technology as outdoor fences, using the same mild stimulation and the same receiver collar (no need to buy a separate one for indoors!) The one difference is that it isn’t necessary to bury wires anywhere—so don’t worry about disturbing your carpet or flooring.

Indoor hidden fence systems are simple and easy to install. All they require is for the transmitter to be placed inside an area in the home, which creates a hidden fence immediately. This is because the units use a signal that comes straight from the transmitter and do not require boundary wires.

Some of the indoor units can be used with wires, however, which can be used to frame an area such as a large rug to keep a dog from crossing onto the fabric.

MB-1 Indoor/Outdoor Mobile Boundary

If you can’t keep your dog out of the trashcan, are constantly telling them to get off the counter, or want to keep them off furniture or out of flower beds, the MB-1 Indoor/Outdoor Mobile Boundary is the perfect solution for you. This wireless, battery-operated mobile boundary can be used in both indoor and outdoor settings to keep your pet out of small areas. Waterproof and versatile, this transmitter creates a zone up to 8 feet in diameter (or 4 feet from the center of the receiver) to keep pets out, and works with all DogWatch® FM receivers.

MB-2 Dual Function Indoor Boundary

Sometimes you need to be able to keep pets out of a large area within your home, and to do this, the MB-2 Dual Function Indoor Boundary is the perfect solution. Used with or without a boundary wire, the MB-2 can be used to create a boundary around a rug, keep a pet out of a room, or contain them in a specific area. For greater flexibility, the M-2 can be used wirelessly to protect areas up to 13 feet in diameter (or 6 ½ feet from the center of the receiver). Like the M-1, the M-2 is compatible with all DogWatch® FM receivers.
