Halo: GPS Collar
The Halo GPS Collar was created to provide a modern solution to off-leash safety, location tracking, and real-time boundary training—without relying on buried wires or inconsistent Wi-Fi fences.
For pet parents who value freedom and safety equally, this collar is more than just a GPS tracker—it’s a complete smart system that helps train, monitor, and protect your dog in real-time.
What the Brand Says About Itself
Halo promotes its collar as an all-in-one wireless fence, GPS tracker, and training collar built to provide 24/7 location services, boundary alerts, and activity tracking—no buried wires, no digging, no lost dogs.
Here’s what they emphasize:
Wireless Smart Fence System — Create up to 20 virtual fences via the Halo app, with feedback cues to help your dog respect boundaries.
Real-Time GPS Tracking — Uses advanced GPS/GNSS technology, even in remote areas, without relying solely on cellular or Wi-Fi signals.
Training Tools by Cesar Millan — Includes access to behavior training tutorials, custom feedback cues (sound, vibration, static), and guidance on setting boundaries.
Activity Monitoring — Track your dog’s steps, rest time, and time spent within the safe zones.
Offline Functionality — Once fences are downloaded to the collar, it works even when the phone isn’t nearby or there’s no signal.
Waterproof & Durable — Built for adventure dogs who run, swim, roll, and get dirty.
Why I Might Recommend It
I often work with families who want to provide their dogs with more independence and outdoor time—but are held back by fears of escape, distraction, or injury. The Halo Collar gives those families a better tool for:
Creating Safe Zones Without Fences — Whether at home, a second property, or traveling, Halo lets you define safe zones quickly through an app.
Supporting Off-Leash Recall Training — The cues help reinforce boundaries, while also collecting data that supports training improvements.
Monitoring Activity for Health and Enrichment — Great for senior dogs needing movement encouragement or active dogs who need rest tracking.
Peace of Mind for Multi-Dog or Rural Households — Especially useful in larger yards or farm settings where traditional fences aren’t practical or wanted.
Considerations Before You Buy
This collar is an investment—financially and in time spent training your dog to understand and respect the cues. It works best for pet parents who are already committed to relationship-based training and daily interaction.
It’s also worth noting:
A monthly subscription is required for full functionality
Dogs must weigh 20 lbs or more for proper fit and safe use
While static feedback is optional, I advise using vibration and sound first—paired with positive reinforcement—to maintain trust
