The Halo Collar is equal parts trainer, behavior corrector, and safety monitor. As the picture shows, it is an active collar with GPS smarts and a stimulus trigger to condition your dog to stay within the preset boundaries.
Feedback can include warnings, like beeping sounds or other alert tones. When they get closer to a boundary or start to cross it, you can use fairly gentle first-time corrections, like a vibrating buzz, to correct the behavior. Or, if needed, you can escalate your corrections to a static sound and buzz.
Now in its second generation, the Halo Collar addresses many of the earlier criticisms with better location accuracy, coverage up to 10 miles and IP-67 waterproofing. The battery carries a 12-hour charge with this time varying depending on your dog’s behavior and the number of trigger warnings!
To get the most from this unit, we recommend subscribing to one of their GPS subscription plans. This is especially useful if you want to to extend the roaming boundary across a large area.
Setup is as easily as walking around your perimeter boundary with your mobile phone (and yes, it works on both IOS and Android) and clicking to establish each of the triangulation points. This data is stored in the Halo Collar so once the boundaries are established, your phone can be used as a monitoring device.
