Default garden gate sensor advice

I need advice for an off-the-shelf parts list, besides fine-guage wiring,
for doing the following:
We try to keep the dog contained in the backyard, but both gates are not
visible from the back door. What kind of wired system can I use that would
have two weatherproof sensors, one on each gate, and a small led-lighted
console by the inside of the back door, that would indicate the gate is
either open or closed?
Should this be battery powered, and what kind of wire and batteries should I
use? These are up to 120-foot runs, and the smaller the wire, e.g. telephone
wire, the better, for easy installation.
Thanks!
