Dedicated to the safety and monitoring needs of vigilant pet owners, the GPS-powered Halo Collar 3<\/a> is a groundbreaking solution, proposing real-time location tracking and a virtual fencing system that ensures the safety of your pet. In this amplified review, we will delve deep into the nuances of its superior technology, dissect its multitude of benefits, and discuss potential drawbacks to aid well-informed decision-making.<\/p>\n

The smart collar market has exploded <\/em>in the last 5 years. And it’s definitely <\/em>slightly different as this one combines an invisible fence and your normal location tracker\/GPS tracker and activity tracker collar so that dog owners have a more full smart dog collar – or a smarter<\/em> collar! <\/p>\n

Anyway, let’s kick into the halo dog collar review and see if it’s the best that modern technology can offer the modern dog parent.<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/h2>\n

This product was provided free of charge for rebarkable to test and review – it’s a size medium-large, and was tested on Lucy. Features that were not tested on my dog(s) include the ecollar\/training collar functionality, indoor halo beacons and the consequences of violating the fence for ethical reasons. These were instead tested on a multi-meter.<\/p>\n

How Does The Halo Collar Work?<\/h2>\n

The Halo collar works based off of GPS location services and it’s positioning of the collar (which assumedly is on your dog), and you setting up a “safe zone”, you set boundaries within the Halo collar app, denoting an area you’re happy for your dog to be (usually this would be the perimeter of your property, or close to it). The idea then is that your dog’s location will trigger to alert your pup that they’re getting close to the boundary, with a beep, a vibrate, and ultimately a shock. The principle comes from operant conditioning and would be considered “Positive punishment” (aka, the application of an uncomfortable or painful thing to make the subject stop and not repeat doing what they’re doing). <\/p>\n

There are also other features within the collar including general GPS tracking and activity tracking.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Who This Works For<\/h2>\n

Now, for anyone who follows this blog or knows me, may be surprised to see this being reviewed here as I am a positive reinforcement trainer. Now, please do not <\/em>get me wrong, I do not, and will not ever support an ecollar, and I have not and will not go into it’s beacons for this exact reason – however – there are instances where this is about the only option some pet parents will have, so, I want to explore it in a safe, constructive manner, so that those who have no other options can make the best of a tool.<\/p>\n
