Love is a four-legged word! For many, dogs are so much more than pets. They’re family that we want to keep safe. According to the Animal Humane Society, approximately 10 million pets go missing each year in the United States. SkyShepherd is on an active mission to create a world where dogs won’t run away and are always connected with their owners. Our passion and expertise in dog behavior, GPS technology, and pet product leadership have enabled us to develop and patent our GPS dog fence collar. SkyShepherd is the first and only pet containment system that melds three important behavioral learning concepts into one cohesive approach: guidance training, incentive learning, and positive reinforcement. The fusion of these concepts allows for gentle feedback compared to other systems and faster, more resilient learning within new boundaries.

The SkyShepherd GPS Dog Fence Collar: Top 5 Benefits & Features
Say hello to the next generation of dog containment. SkyShepherd is an innovative GPS dog fence collar that’s ideal for dogs over 20 pounds with one or more acres of up land covered by up to a moderate canopy of foliage. To accommodate varying neck sizes, choose between three collar strap lengths for the perfect fit. This smart device is designed with 19 patents and more pending. After years of development and field testing, SkyShepherd is finally available to the public. Here are the main advantages that SkyShepherd offers to you and your dog(s):
1. Easy to Use with No Installation
Say goodbye to chains, flags, and buried wire. No installation is required to keep your dog safe! All you need is the lightweight collar and connected mobile app to contain your dog. Once the simple training process is completed, SkyShepherd works autonomously for you. It uses patented progressive zone feedback and a Shepherding Mode feature to keep your dog in the boundary or guide it back to safety if your dog leaves the boundary.
2. Customizable Containment Boundaries
Create and edit a boundary of virtually any size and shape in seconds using the mobile app. It’s as easy as a few taps! Each boundary you set up will have a Safe Zone, two Alert Zones (First Alert and Second Alert), and an Out Zone. Properties of one acre or more are a good fit for SkyShepherd due to the space required for the alert zones and the practicalities of GPS accuracy.
3. Ultra-Portable Device for Home or Away
As a compact, self-contained device, you can easily bring SkyShepherd and your dog with you when you travel or move to a new home. You can store unlimited boundaries for various locations and activate them on your collar whenever you want. You could even create the boundary ahead of time before leaving home. On top of that, our smart collar features a rechargeable battery for power on the go.
4. Stay Connected Without a Cellular Network
No cellular connection available? No problem! SkyShepherd continuously monitors your dog and uses the included gateway system to relay info via the internet to your mobile device. As long as your GPS dog collar is within range of any SkyShepherd gateway (up to a half mile in excellent conditions), you can track your dog’s location and receive real-time notifications in the app if your dog tests its boundary.
5. Safe & Humane for Your Dog
Dogs’ excitement changes from moment to moment. Higher excitement means it’s harder for your dog to sense guidance. Lower excitement means your dog is more sensitive. That’s why SkyShepherd’s unique, dynamic feedback always uses the lowest level of feedback necessary to guide your dog at its level of excitement. A First Alert provides a variable-intensity vibration and a tone. A Second Alert offers variable levels of low e-stim and a different tone. Lastly, an Out Zone uses moderate static feedback and a tone to turn your dog back to its Safe Zone. SkyShepherd also rewards your dog for doing the right thing by giving a friendly, periodic Safe Tone while your dog is in, or returning to, its Safe Zone. None of SkyShepherd’s feedback is harmful, and all SkyShepherd feedback is user-selectable since you know your dog the best.
Don’t just take our word for it. Professional Dog Training Expert Steve Haynes used our GPS dog fence collar with his canine companion. He noted, “Wow! This is great. It’s amazing. I couldn’t believe how quickly he got it! I even watched. Our neighbors came walking by, and he challenged his border but then immediately stopped and returned without any adverse reaction.” Your complete satisfaction is important to us, which is why every purchase comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Experience the SkyShepherd difference for yourself, and create a safe world for your dog!
