I’m considering ordering more beacons in the near future to set more boundaries inside my home, this just works SO well! Place a beacon somewhere in your home that you want your dog to stay away from (the trash, in my instance), and it will teach your dog to stay away from the beacon, using similar feedback as when you set boundaries out in the real world. The Beacons are sort of the introduction to the boundaries outside. This I thought was cool, because Waldo really likes getting into the trash bin at home. Every dog is different, so set your collar to the settings to best suit your dog!Īnother cool feature you should know about with the Halo collar is the indoor features as well, with the use of Halo Beacons.

Again, the owner is in full control of what settings apply to your Halo collar. Then if the dog continues, the static will be triggered as emergency feedback to let your dog know it has breached the perimeter. If the dog ignores the sound and continues to breach the perimeter, the vibration will be triggered. If your pup gets a little too close to the boundary, it will trigger the sound. There is a sound, a vibration, or a static stimulation, all of which are customizable through the Halo app.

There are three levels of stimuli set on the collar. Even if your dog doesn’t respond to the stimulus for some reason or another, the collar will make sure you can find your dog through the GPS function as well. If your dog does breach the boundary, the collar can even encourage your dog to go BACK into the boundary by another stimulus (I have mine set as a whistle). It takes time and training for your dog to learn what each stimulus means, and where their boundaries lie.

Once you set your boundaries (you can set up to 20 fences), think of all the places you can go and the freedom for your dog! The wireless GPS makes sure your dog stays within those boundaries by signaling your dog through a series of stimuli to let them know they are getting close to their boundary or breaching their boundary. All of these features you can control using your Halo collar app. The Halo 2+ collar serves many functions, acting as an activity tracker, GPS tracker, and invisible fence. Waldo seemed to enjoy his training time and loved all the attention on him! The training is also an opportunity to make a deeper connection and bond with your dog, as long as you include a lot of positive reinforcement in the training and make it a positive experience for you both. My schedule is all over the place, but if you can get it done you and your dog will benefit in the long run. This process took me on the longer side, as I am a single mom of a competitive dancer. It takes approximately a month of solid training (give or take a few weeks, depending on schedule). One great thing about this collar is that you, the OWNER, have to be trained as part of the process as well, along with training your dog to be attentive to these boundaries. Move over invisible fences! The Halo 2+ collar is a GPS dog collar by Cesar Millan that teaches your dog to stay within the boundaries by a series of alerts to notify your dog when they are getting close to these boundaries.

If you’re looking for the ultimate gift for your dog, consider getting them the gift of freedom with the Halo 2+ collar! I had the opportunity to try this out with my Labradoodle, Waldo, and this is one of the best options out there to give your dog freedom while keeping them safe at the same time.
