Halo Collar 4: The Future of the Backyard

Written by The Halo Team

September 29, 2024

Caring, responsible pet owners know it’s important for a dog to have a place to run and play. When your entire yard is a safe place for your dog, you can let your pet out to handle its business or enjoy fun in the sun even when you can’t be outside every minute.

Backyard dog fence products play a critical role in supporting this type of safety, and they’ve evolved dramatically over the years. Discover more about how fences have enabled daily activity and safety for dogs below, and learn about Halo Collar 4, an innovative solution for backyard dog fencing.

The Evolution of Dog Fencing: From Physical to Digital

Traditional Fencing Options

Original backyard fences for pets use traditional fencing materials, such as wood, vinyl and chain-link, to help keep a pet inside the desired area. However, these options come with numerous limitations, including the cost of materials and installation, required maintenance and potential aesthetic drawbacks. You may not want a visible boundary around an area that’s a safe place for your pet.

In addition, traditional fences don’t work to contain every canine. Some dogs can burrow under, jump, or climb over traditional fences, leaving their owners frustrated and with a continuing need for more effective fencing.

Transition to Wireless and Smart Fences

Frustrations with traditional fencing led to new products, including wireless and smart fences. These innovations make it possible to keep your dog in a certain area without visibly impacting your landscape. They tend to be much cheaper than wood or metal fences, and they can work immediately to keep your dog in range or away from obstacles and areas you don’t want your pet exploring.

Unmatched Pet Safety with Halo Collar 4

Introducing Halo Collar 4, the revolutionary GPS smart fence that prioritizes your dog’s safety and gives you peace of mind. Unlike traditional fences, Halo Collar 4 utilizes advanced technology to create virtual boundaries customized to your needs. Say goodbye to costly installations and enjoy the freedom to protect your pet anywhere, anytime. With Halo Collar 4, your dog can safely explore while you stay connected and informed, ensuring worry-free adventures together.

Halo Collar 4 Features That Redefine Backyard Safety

Halo Collar 4 isn’t just a pet containment system; it’s a comprehensive safety solution designed to give you peace of mind and your dog the freedom to explore.

Customizable Virtual Fences

Halo Collar 4 is a GPS-based dog fence that lets you create virtual boundaries tailored to your backyard and your dog’s energy levels and needs. You can set multiple zones that support quick adaptation to change. For example, you can set a larger zone to let your dog enjoy the free run of fields and other areas on nice days and reduce the zone to minimize mess on rainy days.

Real-Time Dual-Frequency GPS Tracking

Halo Collar 4 operates on dual-frequency GPS and is currently the only virtual dog fence that combines L1 and L5 GPS bands. This offers the most accurate location technology and mitigates challenges associated with obstacles in urban areas or locations with bad signals.

The GPS tracking on the Halo Collar 4 allows you to keep up with your dog’s location in real-time. This provides extra peace of mind for pet owners, as you can see immediately if your pet is running in the neighborhood or lost in the nearby woods. It also helps you track your dog’s play and exploration so you can plan better fencing locations in your yard.

User-Friendly Mobile App

You can set up and manage the virtual Halo Collar 4 fences with a user-friendly mobile app, storing perimeters for your dog fence with a few taps on your mobile screen. The app includes video tutorials and step-by-step guidance to help you get the most from your wireless dog collar fence system.

The built-in dog training system, designed by Cesar Millan, includes customizations. You can change sounds, vibrations and static feedback to find what works best for your dog, enhancing the collar’s training capability.

Advanced Feedback System

The collar uses gentle human feedback methods, including sounds and vibrations, to help your dog understand where fence boundaries are. Feedback improvements on the Halo Collar 4 include an advanced speaker with a sound amplifier, stronger vibration and a new detection feature to ensure feedback accommodates your dog properly when using the contact tips. The goal is to provide your pet with safe feedback that guides it away from dangers and areas you don’t want it to explore.

Durability and Design

Halo Collar 4 is built for reliable daily use, and the battery lasts over 30 hours between charges. That’s a 25% improvement over previous Halo Collar products. You can also purchase the product in new colors, including Midnight Blue and updated versions of the previous Sunburst, Orchid and Graphite hues.

To increase comfort for your dog, the Halo Collar 4 is 33% smaller and 18% lighter than its predecessor, the Halo Collar 3,  without losing any durability. A new solid enclosure, improved waterproofing, ultrasonic welding, strong magnetic charging and a metal hinge all work together to ensure this collar is dog-proof and ready for outdoor adventure with your pup.

Perfect Fit

No more guesswork – just a custom fit for your furry companion. Halo Collar 4’s innovative tailoring system ensures a perfect, comfortable fit for every dog, from tiny 8-inch necks to large breeds measuring 30.5 inches.
