The Most Accurate GPS Dog Fence

SpotOn is designed to issue a series of three alerts as your dog nears the virtual fence.

1. Alert Tone - 10 feet from the edge of the fence, the collar issues a friendly tone .
2. Warning Tone - 5 feet from the boundary, the collar issues a harsher sound that, once trained, your dog will come to understand as the warning that a consequence will follow.
3. Optional vibration: If your dog continues towards the boundary, a vibration quickly follows.
4. Optional static correction: The final warning of the SpotOn system is an optional static correction intended to protect your dog by quickly getting his attention so they return to the center of the yard.

Training is essential, and by learning the tones, static correction becomes a true last resort if you choose to use it. 

Mere minutes! Once you download the app, draw your virtual fence on your phone. Simple!

Yes! SpotOn has a rechargeable battery and does not need anything to be “plugged in” in order to work. You can even setup fences when you’re off-grid, thanks to our Off-grid Mode. It's perfect for camping!

It’s not required, but it can be helpful.

You can create virtual fences and contain your dog without a cellular connection. Many customers, especially those in rural areas with spotty reception, use the product in this way. The satellites create the geo-fence and connect to the collar using only a GPS signal. GPS is available anywhere in the world with a view of the sky and it’s free. Unlike your phone, the SpotOn Fence does not need a cellular connection to access GPS.

If you’d like to track your dog, this will require cellular connectivity, which is enabled when you add a subscription. The optional cellular subscription enables your SpotOn collar to communicate with your smartphone over long distances. This unlocks features such as seeing your dog’s location on the SpotOn App, receiving escape notifications, and tracking your dog to their location should they escape.

Only in certain scenarios.

The SpotOn app uses your phone’s Bluetooth to connect to the collar for creating fences, adjusting collar settings and training your dog. Similar to other Bluetooth devices like speakers, Bluetooth has a range of about 50 feet. Once connected, if the collar is more than 50 feet away from the phone, then Bluetooth will disconnect.

While SpotOn is not a traditional e-collar or remote training device, it does offer Manual Feedback. This feature allows you to deliver on-demand cues (tone, vibration, or static correction) to your dog using the app. This feature requires a tracking plan and works best in areas with good cellular coverage. Whether you’re in your backyard or miles away, Manual Feedback gives you more communication and more peace of mind. 

No. SpotOn has 30 levels of specificity, and through training, you can pinpoint the precise level where the correction captures your dog’s attention without being too heavy-handed. 

Training is essential, and by learning the tones, static correction becomes a true last resort, if you choose to use it.

Absolutely. We’ve even tested the collars to ensure SAR compliance. SAR testing is important because it measures the amount of Radio Frequency energy absorbed by biological tissue when using a wireless device over a period of time. This testing demonstrates that SpotOn complies with the internationally established guidelines.
