What we do on the visit
The first visit is a free in-home demo and yard fit test. We come to your home in Lee or Collier County with a premium GPS dog collar — one we bring, or yours if you already have one — and show you how an app-based GPS fence would work in your actual yard. We look at how the dog uses the space, and talk through anything unusual: a canal bank, a pool, a neighbor's lot, a sidewalk the dog shouldn't cross. You decide after you see it. If the yard isn't a good fit, you owe nothing.
Then we map the boundary in the collar's app. For training, we often put down temporary flags so the dog can see the line at first. We work with you on how to introduce the warning, how to praise the dog for turning back, and how to live with the system after we leave.
What we don't do
- We don't bury wire, and we don't build a physical fence. Buried-wire systems can fall under Collier County fence licensing; we don't offer them.
- We don't sell a single collar brand as “the” product. We use leading GPS collars matched to your yard and dog, and we tell you exactly which one and its warranty before you buy.
- We don't promise that a GPS fence will hold every dog. If we think it isn't a fit, we'll say so — and no system can guarantee a dog will never leave the yard.
What you should expect from a GPS collar
These collars use GPS (and often other signals) to decide when the dog is near the line you drew. They need a clear view of the sky to work well — dense cover, some lanais, and indoor use are limits, not features. Most products also have a monthly or yearly tracking plan from the manufacturer, which is separate from our setup fee. Battery life and accuracy vary by collar and setting; we'll talk through the model we recommend for your yard, and disclose the brand before you purchase.
A GPS fence is not a physical barrier. A determined dog can still leave. It is not a substitute for supervision, especially near water or a busy road.
How it works for you
- 1Free demo & fit test — we come to your home, show you how an app-based GPS fence works in your yard, and tell you honestly if it's a fit. You owe nothing for this visit.
- 2You decide — after the demo, you choose whether to go ahead. No pressure.
- 3Setup & mapping — we fit a premium GPS dog collar and map your wireless boundary on the app.
- 4Training + 60 days free re-training — we train you and your dog, then come back at no charge for re-training visits within 60 days.
No-shock option
Many GPS collars can be set to warning tones and vibration only. Static correction is optional and adjustable on some models. We start with tone and vibration. We don't claim every collar has a no-shock mode — if you prefer to train without static correction, we match a collar that supports tone-and-vibration-only training.
Is it safe?
A GPS fence is a training aid, not a physical barrier. We start with a free in-home demo, and we start training with tone and vibration. We make no medical or health claims.
- Training. Plan on about 2–3 weeks: typically 2–4 visits from us, plus short 10–15 minute daily sessions you do with your dog. Free re-training for 60 days is included.
- If the dog isn't a candidate. Some dogs aren't a good fit — we tell you honestly. Our guarantee refunds our service fee if the property fails the GPS fit test after setup. Collar returns follow the manufacturer's policy.
- Aggression. We meet your dog at the free demo. We may decline dogs with a history of aggression. The owner stays present and handles the leash during sessions.
- Signals. GPS on the collar is receive-only. The collar's cellular radio is low power, and the device is FCC-certified like other wearables. We make no health claims.
- Battery, life, and weather. Expect about a day to two days per charge, depending on the model and tracking settings. Charge overnight — a dead collar means no boundary. The manufacturer's warranty is typically 1 year; rechargeable batteries gradually hold less charge over time. The Monthly Care Plan includes battery health checks. Collars are built for outdoor use; follow the manufacturer's care guidelines. We don't quote a specific water-resistance rating here, because that varies by model — we'll tell you the exact model's care instructions before you buy.
More detail is on our Safety & training FAQ.
Monthly Care Plan. After setup, an optional plan starting at $29/mo covers boundary remapping, refresher training, collar fit and battery health checks, priority help if the dog starts testing the line, and a seasonal check (for example, before summer storm season). An optional higher tier around $49/mo is available. These are planning prices, not a quote, and you can cancel anytime. Add-ons — a second dog, a vacation or second-home boundary, indoor keep-out zones — are quoted at the demo. See the Monthly Care Plan.
About GPS accuracy. GPS can drift several feet under tree canopy, near buildings, lanais, or metal roofs, and on small lots. We show you this during the free in-home demo. A GPS fence is not for indoor use.
Lot size. Under about 1/4 acre is usually not a fit for a GPS yard fence. About 1/4–1/3 acre we test at the demo. About 1/3 acre and up is typically a good candidate, and the boundary needs a 15–20 ft buffer from the house, from roads, and from water. Smaller lots, condos, and indoor keep-out zones are a different product — see Small Yard & Indoor Solutions.
