Halo Collar: The Fence That Goes Anywhere
Over 10 million pets are lost every year. Physical fences get jumped, dug under, and left behind on trips. The Halo Collar replaces all of that with a smart fence that lives on your dog's neck.

The Problem with Every Fence Ever Built
A physical fence has one fundamental limitation
that no amount of height or reinforcement can fix. It stays where it is. The
dog goes on a trip, and the fence stays home. The dog visits a friend's yard, and
there is no boundary at all. The dog finds a gap, digs underneath, or simply
jumps over, and the fence that cost thousands of dollars to install offers
nothing. In-ground electric fences are fixed in one location, require
professional installation, need ongoing maintenance, and still get breached.
The Halo Collar starts from a completely different premise. What if the fence
traveled with the dog?
A Virtual Fence That Knows Where Your Dog Is Going
The Halo Collar 5 uses dual-frequency GPS with
20 location updates per second to track the dog's position with near pinpoint
accuracy anywhere in the world. Virtual fences are created in the app by
drawing boundaries on a map, with auto-generation based on property lines
available in a single tap. Those boundaries are stored directly on the collar
itself, meaning they work even without Wi-Fi or cellular connection. But what
separates Halo from every other GPS collar on the market is what happens when
the dog approaches a boundary. The collar determines which direction the dog is
facing and whether it is moving toward or away from safety. That distinction
matters enormously. A dog standing near the boundary is different from a dog
running at full speed toward the road. Halo reads the difference and responds
accordingly.
Escalating Feedback That Does Not Give Up
Most GPS collars deliver a single warning when
a boundary is crossed and stop there. Halo's patented feedback system escalates
continuously until the dog responds. A warning signal first. Then a boundary
alert. Then, an emergency response if the dog keeps moving. Once the dog turns
back, a Go Home command guides it toward safety. The feedback itself is fully
customisable, using sound, vibration, or gentle static that functions as a tap
on the shoulder rather than a shock. Fifteen levels of static sensitivity allow
the response to be calibrated precisely to the individual dog. The collar also
delivers a Whistle and a Good Dog signal to reinforce positive behavior when
the dog respects its boundaries.
Training Built into the System
The Halo system includes an eight-lesson
structured training programme designed to teach the dog to respect boundaries
through psychology rather than punishment. The collar works across all 350
breeds, covers fence sizes from 900 square feet upward, carries IP67
waterproofing, and runs for up to 48 hours on a single charge that takes one
hour to complete.
