1. 4/5Rough start but love them now

   I have 200 acres for my dogs to roam so didn’t think I would need some way to contain them until I found out my dogs were visiting my “neighbors” several miles away and across a fairly busy road. A GPS collar was the only real option for me so I did some research and bought Halo. Overall I am very happy with how they perform. I’ve had collars for 2 dogs for several years now. Started with the first Halo 2. I found the training confusing and used the method I used for in ground fence eventually. When they were working they were great but had lots of issues with charging. Halo was fantastic about warranty replacements (around 4-5 times I think) and I eventually got both dogs the next generation Halo 2 through warranty replacements. They are much improved and I rarely have issues with them. I took advantage of the discount offer on Halo 3 and upgraded one dog. The new collar has a waterproof charging port which is great. It uses Verizon instead of AT&T which I thought would be better but I haven’t seen a difference in connection when the boys are out roaming. I wish you could make an exclusion zone inside of a fenced area, beacons work ok but the battery life isn’t great. I also wish I could not have the collars switch to return whistle only when the GPS signal isn’t great. With as much area as my dogs have, I don’t need a precise border. I waited a while to write this review as my initial experience was not good but that is far in the past. Halo has continued to improve and I am very pleased with the collars now.

2. 5/5Love!

   Our dogs have had some short range collars for the last year since it was within our budget, but finally managed to get one collar for Christmas this year. The dogs love being able to enjoy our WHOLE property now! My only con is battery drains much faster in the cold, so if we are away from home (our dogs are livestock dogs) and temperatures drop I’m worried about the collar dying before I can get home to charge it. Other than that, I have no complaints! The design is sleek, and more comfortable by far than the other collars we had. The fence feature and app are easy to manage and modify, and I love the extra training features it comes with! My favorite part of the collar itself is that it comes with 3 different nodes you can attach. Long, short, and a flat piece that doesn’t poke your dog’s neck at all. This is what we will be using once our dogs are accustomed to the new boundary, as the verbal warning from the Halo is sufficient to bring them back in, and there’s really no need for the prongs (we used them on day 1-3, and since haven’t needed them). Our dogs like to wrestle, so sometimes they’d injure themselves on the prongs. The peace of mind this adjustable feature buys is more than worth the price. 10/10 for Halo Collars! Now we can take the dogs ANYWHERE without fear, and since we go in the mountains a lot this is crucial.

3. 5/5Great Product

   We love the Halo system. We have been using this product for almost 3 years now. I have three dogs currently using the collars. 2 are 100 lb Labs and the other is an 85lb German Shepherd. We live on 7 acres that is mostly fenced with woven wire cattle fence. At our Previous home, our two labs were accustomed to an underground fence system, so it was no problem for them to convert to the Halo system. Our German Shepherd was trained using the halo collar system starting at about three months of age. He learned quickly because I worked with him daily to help him understand the differences in the different stimulations and tones. What’s nice about the product is that we always know where our dogs are using the Halo app on our iPhones. Keeps them off of the fence line and from engaging the other dogs or farm animals on the opposite side of the fence or digging under. If we need to call them back to the house it’s very easy to open the app, Select all dogs with the proper tone, and they know to return to the back door at the house. We also use it when we’re traveling to with our dogs to visit relatives. We can just set up a new boundary line, walk them around to identify the boundaries, and then let them go. Just like so many other products, you do run into problems that need to be resolved, and when we have encountered any problem, the Halo team has been very responsive to provide resolutions. We love the product!

4. 5/5Great purchase!

   Over the years I have tried all kinds of radio transmitter collars to try and keep my dogs in the yard. I couldn’t do buried wire collars because my property is huge and we live on a giant granite hill in New Hampshire so burying isn’t feasible. The radio transmitter collars were a pain because they all had roughly circular coverage but my yard is not circular and it is very hilly so the coverage pattern wasn’t something you could expect a dog to learn. I had always stayed away from cellular GPS collars like the Halo because of the initial price, but if you add up all the other things I tried, it would definitely be more expensive than the Halo! The main features I like are the cellular connection that allows me to always see where the dog is on my phone, coupled with the ability to send feedback through the app, ranging from a tone, a vibration, or a shock. I’ve had lots of portable correction collars before, but all it takes is one deer in the woods and the dog is out of range of a normal transmitter collar before you can even get it out of your pocket. With the Halo, no matter where he is, I can give him a correction, and he knows what that sound means - he’d better get back in the yard or he’s going to be in for a shock! This collar coupled with the cameras I have around my yard allow me to leave the dog door open 24/7 - even if I’m in a different state I know I can see where he is and correct him if necessary. It’s a game changer!

5. 5/5Best purchase ever!

   I do not leave reviews, of course I use them when purchasing literally anything and everything but I never take the time to leave one. Well, this time I am… the Halo Collar is by far the best purchase we have made in a really long time. We have a 10 month old rescue pup that we love but his behavior was getting really hard to work with and although we have a half acre yard with woods in the back we do not have a fence. I ordered the collar with a hope and prayer that this could get him the exercise he needs to get some of his energy out and therefore help his behavior. We did the whistle command first (as instructed) for a few days, ordered some little flags for around the property, took him for a few walks and then set up the emergency commands. We did the emergency settings this on Sunday, it’s now Tuesday and our pup is perfect! Each day he has tested the limits less and less and he has been such an amazing dog ever since! Every one of us in the family shocked ourselves just so we would know what he would be feeling, we did lessen the amount after that lol but nonetheless our pup is doing so well. He is an Australian shepherd and golden retriever mix, incase that is helpful for anyone. Thanks Halo, this really has changed our lives, our family was struggling with pup and $10,000 for fencing was not an option!
