5 Pet Safety Tips for Protecting Your Adventurous Pup at Home

Have you ever wanted to let your dog have more freedom, but are afraid of all the dangers that lurk outside the safety of a fence? Do you want to be able to let them live life off-leash without the constant worry that they could find themselves in an unsafe situation? You’re not alone, most dog parents want this for their loving companion—at least I know I did for my beloved pooch, Paddington. A traditional fence, whether it’s a four-foot chain link, a six-foot privacy fence, or an underground invisible fence cannot be moved easily and doesn’t provide your dog with the freedom they need to be happy. I was beginning to lose hope that I would ever be able to offer Paddington freedom and safety at the same time; then I found The Halo Collar.

Read on to discover 5 pet safety tips for protecting your furry friend with The Halo App, whether you’re at home or on-the-go!

Set Boundaries

The Halo Collar provides dog parents like you and I the ability to make a fence without having to actually build one or tear up your yard to place one underground. Don’t let cost or space get in your way. The Halo Collar allows mindful pet parents to choose their own dimensions for their fence.

Don’t want your dog to have access to certain areas? No problem! The Halo Collar is customizable and even provides a device to further deter your dog from exploring areas that are off-limits. The Halo Collar naturally guides your dog using customizable prevention feedback at the right time. Fences calculate when your dog is near the boundary you’ve set, reminding them to turn around. If your dog has left a fence, The Halo Collar even uses a return whistle function to guide them back to safety. The Halo Collar takes a holistic approach to boundary training that’s more effective than anything I’ve ever used!

Safety Train Your Pup with Natural, Simple Communication

I purchased my home in the country with the hope that it would provide Paddington with an ample amount of space to run and explore. Unfortunately, he started to get too comfortable and would take off to the back of the property and I had no way of keeping him safe. He doesn’t always have the best listening skills or recall when several acres to explore are all around him. I would also get texts from my neighbor that Paddington was visiting their property and pestering their chickens. This was the point that I knew I needed a way to keep him contained. I didn’t have the time to constantly be watching him or worry about him venturing into the neighbor's yard. It pained me to take his ability to roam freely, but I knew something needed to change.

Thankfully, The Halo Collar comes with world-renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan’s 21-day program, which includes premium lessons, exclusive live-streams, and Q&As with training experts. The Halo App allows you to set custom feedback where you can adjust which settings to train your dog’s behavior—sending direct communication to your pup with The Halo Collar. It offers a wide range of sound and vibration options to choose from, so you can customize your dog’s feedback to perfectly match their learning style. This ensures every dog parent is equipped with the technology and knowledge of how to better their dog’s lives! I can truly say that The Halo Collar has changed our lives forever!

Create Safety Zones with The Halo Collar Fences

The Halo Collar provides clear and concise directions, which really helped a non-tech-savvy person like me. The training is straightforward and gets you acquainted with the equipment fast, which is perfect for a busy pet parent!

One of the best features about the collar is the fact that you can create, edit, pause, and enable boundaries for all of the fences with just a few simple taps on your phone. So, unlike regular fencing that is in place forever, you have the ability to change where your dog can and can’t go with a few clicks! You can customize boundaries in your backyard, front yard, neighbor’s yard, and more! Save up to 20 fences at any given time, so you don’t have to constantly set and reset the same couple fences.

You may be wondering why you would want to change the area of your fence and question why you wouldn’t just create one fence and be done with it. Well, how boring is that? How exciting would it be to explore new areas every few days? I also get nervous when it's dark. I don’t want to give him full access to the largest fence setting, so I have created a smaller one to keep him closer to home at night.

Track Your Dog’s Location with The Halo Collar’s GPS Fences

Did you know approximately ten million dogs in the US are lost each year? Furthermore, one in three pets will become lost at some point in their life. How sad is that?! What’s more sad is that some of those lost pups would have never become lost if their owners knew about The Halo Collar.

With The Halo Collar I am able to track Paddington’s whereabouts at all times and get real-time notifications directly on my phone. If for any reason Paddington steps foot outside of his fence, I will immediately be notified and know exactly where he is. This feature is essential for those pet parents looking to give their little furry one every inch of freedom that they deserve. No more lost pups with The Halo Collar.

Train Your Pup To Wander Safely with The Halo Collar Beacons

The neighbor’s chickens tend to be a reason that Paddington wants to break outside his fence. Who could blame him? To him they look like walking chicken nuggets! Rest assured, the people behind The Halo Collar have thought of everything, saving even my neighbors chickens some hassle in the process!

You can use Beacons anywhere you do not want your dog going. These beacons are bluetooth-enabled, allowing you to to initially train your pup and keep them away from certain areas for good. Set any Beacon to settings like “Keep Away” or “Ignore Fences,” depending on whether you want to keep your pup away from an area or to create a safe zone directly from The Halo App. By placing the beacon right outside of the chicken coop, it keeps Paddington away and the chickens safe to live their life free of Paddington and his snooping. You can even set up a Beacon in your home if there are certain areas that are off-limits.

Paddington was able to become acclimated to The Halo Collar and fence in no time. His ability to roam freely within the fenced areas I have created has brought us as close as ever. He is getting the freedom to explore and I have the peace of mind that he is safe and sound while doing so. Cesar Millan’s training helped the relationship between Paddington and me to build to a level I didn’t know was possible. Paddington is more in tune with me and I am more in tune with him. I had no idea our bond could become any stronger than it already was. I can’t express how thankful I am that The Halo Collar was able to bring us closer together by allowing my pup to travel more independently.

This year is the year to change your dog’s life (not to mention, yours as a pet parent!). Take advantage of what The Halo Collar has to offer so it can better the life of you and your dog. Enhance the relationship between you and your pooch by allowing them to explore what the world has to offer. No dog should have to live their life constantly on-leash. Exploring what the world has to offer is part of being a dog. So what are you waiting for? Change your life forever with The Halo Collar and let your dog live life off-leash!
