Dog fence

[Jmort1754]

Anyone ever use a fence like the spot on or similar gps fence ?

I don’t personally but definitely following. Had a friend with a first gen halo on a thick hair dog. He didn’t trust it like his invisible. Big issue I see is battery is only about 15-18 hrs I believe. But the theory sounds great to me

I got the border patrol tc1. I had two dogs on it about 30-50 hrs a week. It worked great being I could give the dogs a 1 mile circle to roam. After a year and a half the collars quit connecting to the gps. Sent them in to get fixed and they want 450 bucks. Kind of pissed me off

No personal experience but spoke to plenty who did. Sounds like if you’re out in the country, they work fine. If you’re in town, then the boundaries are too wishy washy. Can’t recall what specific units they were all using though.

My parents have the Pathfinder collar and that only alerts you to a dog nearing or breaking a boundary. I think another had tried a brand called Halo. They said there was some delay and it didn’t work well in a crowded neighborhood.

I really like the idea of a GPS boundary for use while camping but I just use my GPS hunting collar and that seems to work well enough as long as I keep an eye on things.
