How Kelly Keeps Her High-Energy GSPs Safe & Happy

August 25, 2025

REVIEW: More freedom and safety for High-Energy Dogs.

When you own German Shorthaired Pointers (GSPs), a quick walk around the block just doesn’t cut it. These energetic, intelligent hunting dogs are bred for endurance and thrive on hours of outdoor activity. For Kelly from Nashville, Tennessee, that reality hit hard when her two “crazy GSP girls” needed more than traditional walks and crates could provide.

In a recent interview, Kelly shared how she turned to the SpotOn GPS Dog Fence to give her dogs the freedom they needed—without sacrificing safety. Her story is one that many owners of high-energy or stubborn breeds can relate to.

The Challenge: Containing High-Energy Dogs

Kelly knew early on that her GSPs needed more space and freedom than city walks could provide.

"Imagine walking this dog ten minutes a day? They're not built for that… I mean I would go crazy walking ten minutes a day."

These dogs weren’t just restless—they were escape artists. One slipped out of her collar during a trip to Virginia and bolted, leaving Kelly panicked for over an hour until she was found. Another time, one of her dogs caught a neighbor’s chicken during a mid-day breakout.

It was clear: traditional collars, kennels, and short walks weren’t enough. Kelly needed a solution that would keep her dogs safe while letting them burn off energy outdoors.

Why SpotOn Fence Was the Answer

Like many pet owners, Kelly considered in-ground fences, but quickly realized they weren’t practical for her property:

"Because of where we live, with just the rocks and the water, and since it's technically public property, we couldn't chisel into the ground so something in-ground was kind of out of the question."

H After 90 days of research, Kelly discovered SpotOn GPS Dog Fence and decided to give it a try. The flexibility of a virtual fence that works anywhere fit her lifestyle perfectly, and the 90-day money-back guarantee made the decision even easier.

"I probably had done like 90 days worth of research… You guys had a 90-day money-back guarantee, and I'm like, ‘If these dogs are going to be THAT stubborn, I'll just get my money back."

Training Stubborn, Smart Dogs with SpotOn

German Shorthaired Pointers are notoriously determined, and Kelly wasn’t sure if even the best system could hold them. But within two weeks of training, her dogs had the boundaries down.

SpotOn’s GPS-based containment system doesn’t require digging or wires—it allows owners to create custom fences right from their phone. For Kelly, that meant she could bring SpotOn anywhere her family traveled.

"When we go to Texas, Virginia, or Oklahoma, because we have family everywhere, we can make our barriers and the dogs already know what the beeping sounds mean."

This portability is a game-changer for dog owners who split time between properties or travel frequently with their pets.

Safety, Peace of Mind & Real-Time Tracking

Beyond containment, SpotOn also gives owners peace of mind with real-time alerts if a dog breaches a boundary.

"If one of them left, it would buzz them and tell me, ‘Hey, Dottie left the property.’ And then it would say, ‘Hey, Dottie's back in.’ So I can get real-time notifications on when they're chasing something, or just like, where are they?"

Kelly no longer worries about losing her dogs or having them wander into unsafe areas. The system keeps her connected and aware of their activity, whether they’re in the backyard or up the trail.

Customer Service That Goes the Extra Mile

Kelly also praised SpotOn for its responsive, human-first approach to customer service—something that helped build her confidence early on.

"Honestly, fantastic customer service… To be heard and for them to be like, ‘Yeah, I got you.’ That’s been huge."

As a physical therapist herself, Kelly knows what it takes to provide excellent service. The support she received from SpotOn reinforced her decision and gave her peace of mind that she wasn’t just buying a product, but a partnership.

A Daily Routine Full of Excitement

Today, Kelly’s GSPs look forward to their freedom every morning.

"They know—like now they sit. Or they actually jump.. and I put her collar on and she jumps down, the other puts her collar on and jumps down, and they're like, ‘Alright! Let's go!"

Instead of pacing in a crate or pulling on a leash, her dogs now get the space and activity they need to thrive—while staying safe and contained.
