| I’ve been shopping online for a GPS shock collar. All the ones I’ve looked at so far had terrible reviews or had monthly fees. Does anyone know of a decent collar that will keep dogs in a certain perimeter that works well and isn’t super expensive? |

I have a Halo collar, but it didn't quite work as well as we hoped. It's accuracy seems to be off, as I can walk up to our fence and nothing happens for about 45 seconds. I think we don't have good enough cellular or something. 45 seconds is plenty of time for our Pyr to hop the fence and visit the neighbors. I need to sell the thing. |
Ludwig Boltzmann, who spent much of his life studying statistical mechanics, died in 1906, by his own hand, Paul Bhranfest, carrying on the work, died similarly in 1933, Now it is our turn to study statistical mechanics...
| Not gps, but Invisible Fence and similar companies have low voltage perimeter wire systems that we have had great results with at two different houses we lived in. It might be expensive, I believe I spent $2200 about 5 years ago to have them install the wiring and give us a collar for our .75 acre place. Once trained our black lab will stay inside the wire no matter what. Including watching deer and other dogs stroll by. He barks like a fool but will NOT cross the wire. Hope that helps. |

I had them come out and give me a quote about two years ago. It was over 5k to do the area I wanted. Ideally I’d like to get so sort of perimeter collar that would let them go about 100 yards in every direction from the house. |
| What breed of dog? Some couldn't care less about beeping or shocks. |

| I had an invisible fence at my old house, and it worked well. When I moved, I bought an E-Collar Technologies remote collar for my dog, planted the flags along the border of the area I wanted to contain him in, and trained him the same way. He didn't know the difference and stayed in the yard except one time to chase a deer. |
