SideWalker SW-5
Walking Shouldn’t Be a Drag
The SideWalker® Leash Trainer is a gentle and reliable way to create a more enjoyable on-leash experience for you and your dog. More walking, less pulling, and more time together side-by-side.
Collar Features
5 Adjustable Settings
The 5 adjustable settings include a vibration setting, 3 electrical stimulation settings, and a progressive setting that begins with vibration and gradually progresses from Low to High if the dog continues to pull.
Progressive Levels
When the dog pulls, the level of the vibration or electrical stimulation (for that setting) gradually increases. When the dog stops pulling, the SideWalker resets to the lowest level for that setting.
Long-Lasting Battery
The long-lasting, easy-to-recharge battery typically stays charged for several days.
Low Battery Indicator
Lets you know when it is time to recharge.
Lightweight & Water-Resistant

I have had nothing but great quick service from Karen and her team. To request a service call is all done right on their website and it takes 30 seconds. I left a request over the weekend (last weekend. 10/10/26 and Monday Cahlil their Cracker Jack service pro was out Monday am. He texted me the issue. Fixed me up in no time.. and their fees are reasonable. 5 stars all the way. I come from and currently work in service industry. These people check all the boxes for what makes a family business work so well. You won’t be disappointed. Also this maybe my 3rd review of a business/service I have ever done. But will go out of my way to endorse an entity when I see excellence. Paul -Naples, FL.Posted on Google

Cristine ClementsApril 14, 2026This was the best money I’ve spent! No regrets- I don’t have to worry about my dog going out of the property line. Before he was Going into the street and chasing cars. Now he has the front yard, backyard and the side yards and I still have a beautiful view of my lake! Also Ron was very easy to work with and he made this a very easy process for me! I would highly recommend him and Dogwatch! I also love that I don’t have to charge the collar every few days! This makes it so much easier! All I have to do is replace the battery in two years for $25! If you’re Unsure about which company to use Go with them—you won’t regret it and they train you and your pet:)+0Posted on Google

Susan TajalliAugust 2, 2025I am an existing customer of Dog Watch. I had the invisible fence installed about 4 years ago when I got my Jack Russell puppy. I had one call for repair due to yard work and they came out promptly, resolved it quickly and charged much less than expected. This week my very active dog managed to break the collar receiver. Of course it happened at the end of the week. I went to the website and ordered a new one and left a voicemail. Karen within what seemed like minutes responded that she just priority mailed it. Now THAT is customer service!Posted on Google
Creative MetalsJune 27, 2025Since our initial install (3 dogs ago) Ron & Karen have been there for us, from supplying small things, like extra batteries, to the many repairs we needed over the years due to one thing or another. They are always available, sweet & fair to deal with. We have recommended them many times over the years and will continue to do so for many to come! Thanks for keeping our fur babies safe! :-) Kenny & TeresaPosted on Google
Brian GottschalkJune 2, 2025My Dog Watch Hidden Fence works great! The installation was seamless & they were able to do it without hitting any of the buried lines for my irrigation system. Ron & Karen are great to work with! I highly recommend them for your hidden dog containment fence.

You Asked, We Answered
The SideWalker is used to train dogs to walk on a leash without pulling and to reinforce appropriate leash walking behavior.
A sensor under the collar strap on the SideWalker is triggered by pressure when the dog pulls on the leash (or when you pull the leash to direct the dog into the desired position.) When the sensor is activated, the dog receives either a vibration or a stimulation. The SideWalker should be set to a level that is just enough to distract the dog from the pulling behavior. Most dogs learn quickly that the sensation stops when the pulling stops.
Several variables affect how quickly your dog’s behavior will change, most notably the personality of your dog and the environment in which you are training the dog. Most dogs begin to understand the relationship between pulling and the vibration/stimulation after several activations of the collar. The pulling behavior diminishes quickly in some dogs and more gradually in others. If there is no noticeable change in pulling behavior after a reasonable trial period, check the collar to make sure the fit is good and the contact posts are the correct size. If collar fit is appropriate and the dog continues to pull, the SideWalker setting should be increased one level.
The SideWalker is safe and effective on dogs as small as 6 pounds.
We recommend waiting until the dog is 4-6 months old.
The components in the SideWalker are specified to operate from minus 25 degrees (F) to 125 degrees (F). A significant and rapid change in temperature may temporarily disrupt some of the SideWalker functions until the device adjusts to the new temperature level.
