Dog owners want better control and insight over their pets’ lives, so over the years, many have used electric fencing for dogs to keep their pups within the home area. In addition to electric fences, pet owners also use CCTV cameras and microchips to keep track of their pets.

However, a GPS dog fence such as the Halo Collar is better than the best electric dog fences on the market since it can keep your furry friends safe inside and outside the home. The elevated safety offered by a wireless dog fence has made these products popular. In fact, 15% of pet parents prefer wireless fences when purchasing tech-driven pet products.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has dramatically improved the quality of GPS tracking and feedback. The Halo team has incorporated these developments into the new and advanced Halo Collar 3 wireless dog fencing system.
Find out how the AI features of the Halo Collar 3 invisible dog fence can enhance your pet’s safety and autonomy.

Unveiling the AI-Driven Halo Collar 3

The Halo Collar 3 is a premium AI-driven GPS collar featuring proprietary software that enhances the accuracy of dog tracking. The GPS in Halo collars relies on signals from over 150 satellites to show your dog’s exact location. However, obstacles like trees, buildings and weather can distort the signal quality.

Halo Collar 3 incorporates PrecisionGPS™ AI software that uses machine learning to differentiate between direct signals and those bouncing off obstacles. Consequently, you get more accurate location details with the Halo Collar 3 than with any other GPS collars.

You can trust the information you receive from the collar to keep your dog within a specific boundary, especially when you can’t physically monitor its movements. The enhanced accuracy is also convenient when your dog gets lost, ensuring you get it back safely as soon as possible.

A Spectrum of Choices: Design and Aesthetics

Keeping your dog safe doesn’t have to be dull and technical, so improvements to the Halo Collar go beyond AI technology.

While previous versions of the collar were only available in graphite and ivory colors, the Halo Collar 3’s expanded color palette features Orchid and Sunburst options. The four colors in the Halo Collar 3 lineup are vibrant and capture the fun essence of multiple dogs.

Each collar has a matching strap and case, making it a stylish accessory for all your adventures.

Universal-Carrier Connectivity: Staying Connected Everywhere

All variations of the Halo Collar can use Wi-Fi and cellular networks to download the latest location data. However, the Halo Collar 3 takes connectivity to the next level by automatically connecting to any cellular network in any location.

The collar’s universal carrier connectivity allows it to receive and transmit signals from satellites and cell towers to your phone whenever it’s turned on, so you can rely on the Halo Collar 3 to keep your dog safe when you travel to locations with different cell networks than the one you use at home. For example, if you have AT&T at home, but do to your parents house or the lake, but that location only has Verizon, the Halo Collar 3 will automatically switch carriers. This applies to all carriers – AT&T, Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint – even networks internationally.

Advanced Reception With Active Antenna

If you’ve placed your pet within the bounds of a wireless dog fence, poor antenna reception can make it difficult for your dog’s collar to issue relevant feedback before it crosses the fence. Moreover, a collar with a poor antenna transmits delayed location information, making it difficult to find your dog when it goes missing.

The Halo Collar 3 has an active antenna that continuously engages satellites, regardless of the obstructions around it. The antenna doesn’t need a strong satellite signal to transmit location information, so you can rely on your Halo Collar 3 wireless fence to keep your dog safe under various conditions.

Ensuring the Perfect Fit for Every Dog

Most dogs grow out of their collars after a few months, especially in the early growth stages. However, the Halo Collar 3 is designed to be a one-time purchase that can fit small, medium and large dogs (20+ lbs).

The collar’s “Perfect Fit” feature lets you adjust its sizing over time so your pup can grow up with its favorite collar. This feature saves you the money you’d spend getting a larger collar as its body changes.

Durability and Usability Enhancements

The Halo Collar 3 also has advanced durability features to increase its life span.

The collar’s steel contact tips are now even stronger, while still not irritating your dog’s skin. The improved contact tip and the Perfect Fit feature ensure you don’t have to replace any of the collar’s components for long.

The Halo Collar 3 has a magnetic charging port compatible with most electronic charging systems. The port repels moisture and debris, ensuring your dog can wear the waterproof collar in the most rugged environments without damaging its charging capabilities.

Maximizing Safety With Multiple Fence Configurations

With the Halo Collar, you don’t have to dig a foundation for a physical fence or invest in expensive electric fence posts to protect your dog. The Halo mobile app lets you set up and store up to 20 invisible fence configurations in your pet’s collar, which means you can create an invisible dog fence for any location you and your pup are in.

You can quickly set up and install a virtual fence and trust the collar to keep your dog within the specified region when you’re out and about.

Training With Cesar Millan: Cultivating Positive Behavior

Unlike virtual dog fences that use electric shocks to stop dogs from crossing a boundary, the Halo Collar 3 relies on several effective, harmless feedback mechanisms to keep your dog safe. The collar can vibrate, make a sound or simulate human touch to get your dog to turn back to safety.

The Halo app gives you access to the tried-and-tested Cesar Millan’s dog training methodology to teach your pup how to respond to the different types of feedback. Cesar’s positive reinforcement training is a step-by-step process that leverages your dog’s instincts, so responding to the prompts feels like second nature.

Dog training helps your pet get used to the invisible fence and improves the communication between you two so it knows what to do when the collar issues feedback.

The Halo training enhances the trust your pup has in you through the collar, ensuring even the most stubborn dogs may obey the prompts when you’re not around.

Ongoing Upgrades: Pioneering a Future-Ready Approach

The Halo team wants you to benefit from the latest developments in dog safety technology, which is why all previous versions of the Halo Collar will receive the advanced features of the Halo Collar 3. This means all pups with a Halo Collar can receive an extra layer of protection through AI-enhanced GPS technology.

Halo collars receive monthly automated, over-the-air upgrades that protect your pet with the latest tracking and safety technology.

Embracing the Future: Why Halo Collar 3 Is a Game-Changer for Dog Safety

The Halo Collar 3 is a revolutionary dog safety device that provides your pup maximum protection to enjoy its freedom. The collar’s PrecisionGPS™ AI technology and active antenna let you keep tabs on your pet in any location. The cellular auto-connection feature ensures you can create virtual fences even in areas without the best coverage.
