About this item
- 1
GPS FENCE WITH NO SUBSCRIPTION FEES: The Dogtra GPS Fence keeps your dog safe at home while giving them the freedom to roam. Virtual boundaries and layered protection—including a warning zone, primary fence, and two backup fences—work together to create a secure outdoor space with no monthly fees.
- 2
CREATE YOUR OWN VIRTUAL FENCE: Use the free Dogtra GPS Fence app to set up circular or custom-shaped boundaries that match your property’s layout. The app is only needed during setup. Once the fence is created, the collar operates independently. Supports up to 30 unique fences. Designed for outdoor use on properties 3/4 acre or larger—remove the collar when your dog is indoors.
- 3
COME HOME SEQUENCE WITH RETURN REMINDER TONE: Dual-band GPS and responsive boundary guidance ensure reliable, accurate performance. Each boundary can be set to tone, vibration, or stimulation, with 100 adjustable levels. Smart detection disables correction when your dog is returning, and a continuous beeping tone gently guides them back home.
- 4
QUICK AND EASY SETUP IN MINUTES: No digging, wires, WiFi, or data required—and no hidden monthly fees. Use the Dogtra GPS Fence app once to set up your virtual fence in minutes. After setup, the collar works independently with no phone connection needed. For best performance, keep both the app and collar firmware updated. Flag training is recommended; a training guide is included and flags are sold separately.
- 5
RECHARGEABLE, WATERPROOF, AND MULTI-DOG READY: Built for outdoor use with an IPX9K waterproof rating and a rechargeable battery that lasts all day. The portable collar is ideal for dogs 15 lbs and up and fits neck sizes from 10"–22" with a 3/4" strap. Longer straps are sold separately. Up to 3 dogs can share the same fence profile through the app. This is a containment system only and DOES NOT INCLUDE LIVE TRACKING OR NOTIFICATIONS.
