"After a lot of research into all the options, Spoton always had the best reviews. We were hesitant on how Oscar would learn, he can be a bit stubborn. After one time outside with us walking the perimeter with him he caught right on!"

"With everything, especially when we are spending this kind of money, I tend to do a ton of research. I even purchased a competitor's collar so that we could compare. In the end, we chose SpotOn and I know we made the right decision. It was by far the more accurate and consistent of the two."

"I really debated getting these for a while due to cost, but man, I would buy them again in a heartbeat. I have 2 huskies, one is a real adventurer. I keep the tracking on the adventurer pup to keep track of when he tries to breach the boundary, and for my other guy we don't need to use the subscription. These collars have been a lifesaver and peace of mind. I love these."
