You can even give praise via Cesar Millan saying, “Good girl” or “Good boy” in different tones, if you so choose. Within the app, you can whistle for your dog via a speaker directly on the collar itself, recalling them from anywhere. The feedback options are very customizable and come with the one and only Cesar Millan’s voice. This gives her a reminder to not get any closer to our dang chickens or their eggs. You can see Charlie’s striped Warning Zone above. The Protection Zone is the area where stronger stimulus is administered to correct the behavior of going where your pup isn’t allowed to go.

The Warning Zone is a small perimeter area that gives your dog boundary feedback, such as a series of beeps or vibrations. Notice the small connection “portal” that allows me to exclude it from the fenced-in area (photo/Rachelle Schrute)Įach fence has a Protection Zone and a Warning Zone. This is how I drew my exception point for our chicken coop. However, there would be stimulus before entering that forbidden zone, so it’s a nonissue. The other issue is that your digital fence posts must be at least 6 feet apart, which creates a small line of non-coverage. If you have multiple places that you want to exclude your pup from, you’ll just have to get creative with creating those lines to exclude those locations. For me, that meant creating a perimeter fence on our property and jutting it in to create the exception for the chicken coop.Įach fence can consist of 20 fence posts, so customizing your space is easy. A hiccup in that process is that your fences can’t overlap. There are places I don’t want Charlie getting into. The option to add up to 20 fences was a huge perk for me. Keeping our dogs from following their instincts and harassing our chickens and turkeys is a challenge, especially for a young and eager pup. Not only do we raise hunting dogs, we also raise poultry. Very specific to my situation is the need to keep bird dogs away from birds. The idea of testing a collar of this caliber on my messy, wild child was daunting but exciting. We’ve used a variety of training tools for her, including several other collars, pending our location and ability to keep things charged. I’ve been training an upland bird dog named Charlie, who’s an energy-filled Brittany. The Test Charlie testing the Halo Collar 3, while ignoring her mom (photo/Rachelle Schrute) The collar also has first-of-its-kind universal-carrier connectivity, allowing the best connection by choosing whichever carrier’s signal is strongest, regardless of who your cellphone provider is. The robots will not be controlling your dog … yet. What this means to you is that the real-time location of your pup is crazy accurate.ĭon’t worry. Essentially, it uses a type of machine learning called PrecisionGPS to understand when signals are bouncing off nearby objects instead of directly transmitting. The new Collar 3 uses AI to discard false signals. Though it might sound cooler than it actually is. It’s also worth mentioning that this collar is designed for dogs over 20 pounds. As long as your pup’s neck falls between 11 and 30.5 inches, you should be covered. Within those sizes is an incremental sizing system no different than a standard collar. You have the option to choose from small or medium/large.
Halo calls its fit system “Perfect Fit,” and it’s pretty accurate. It also comes in white, but come on? White? Dog owners know how long white stays white.īoth the collar straps and covers feature the color you choose. Halo clearly took note of that trend and brought its Collar 3 to the table with vibrant shades.īecause I am predictable and boring, I chose Graphite (one of the original colors) to grace the neck of my new bird dog for training. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from the marketing masters over at YETI, it’s that new colors sell. Let’s kick it off with looks, shall we? New Colors and Custom Fit After a few months of testing prior to its release, I definitely see why the brand is a leader in the pet industry.
Traditionally, we’ve run Garmincollars on all our dogs.īecause of our dog-filled life, I was excited to take the new Halo Collar 3 for a test run. With a fleet of hunting hounds and a handful of bird dogs, we are no strangers to dog training, dog tech, and dog collars. Check Price at Halo Halo Collar 3 Review (Photo/Halo)
