Our Story

We envision a world where all dogs can follow their noses while we, as owners, feel confident they’re safe. As a team of dog lovers, there’s nothing we won’t do to make our dogs happy. That's why we created SpotOn, the world's first GPS dog fence!

SpotOn began when founder Ken Solinsky—fresh off selling his high-tech military company—set out to build a smarter GPS-based dog fence. The idea sparked when an irrigation contractor mentioned how often he'd accidentally cut invisible fence wires while servicing sprinkler systems. Solinsky, a dog owner, saw an opportunity.

He reached out to engineer Sung Vivathana, who agreed the idea had potential. In 2015, SpotOn Fence was born. After three years of development, the first collars hit the market in 2019.

“Before SpotOn, no pet tech could contain a dog using only GPS. SpotOn created the first truly wireless, portable, and customizable fence that’s just as effective as a traditional fence, but far more flexible. We’re so proud to give dogs everywhere the freedom to live as they should – unleashed.
