Why does a smart fence dog collar make a pawfect present this holiday season?

If you’re looking to treat yourself or a loved one in your life who owns a dog, we have you covered. SkyShepherd makes canine containment easier than ever. It’s a GPS dog fence that lives on a smart collar, powered by patented technology to keep a dog safe within a designated boundary – a GPS dog containment system your dog wears. Great for wintertime, SkyShepherd doesn’t require wires or flags to be installed into the hardened ground. What makes this smart collar the ideal gift for a dog parent? Keep reading to find out.

3 Reasons to Gift the SkyShepherd Smart Fence Dog Collar

1. Simple to Set Up & Use for Any Dog Owner

The person you give SkyShepherd to won’t need to install anything. They only need the lightweight GPS collar and connected mobile app to contain their dog. Once you complete the simple training process with your dog, SkyShepherd works autonomously. It uses patented progressive, dynamic feedback we call, “Shepherding” that tries to give the lowest effective amount of feedback required to guide your dog in any situation. It also has an Extended Shepherding mode to guide a dog back to safety if it ever should find itself on the wrong side of the boundary. If you are gifting this smart fence dog collar, keep in mind that the training process goes best with dogs that have basic obedience down—things like, “sit,” “stay,” and “come”—and are also able to walk well on a leash. Pups should be at least six months of age/20 lbs before using SkyShepherd.

2. Ultimate Flexibility with Custom Boundaries & Local Monitoring

SkyShepherd is best for folks who want to contain their dog within an area one acre larger. Gifting them SkyShepherd will allow them to create and edit a custom boundary of virtually any size and shape in seconds using the SkyShepherd mobile app. Each boundary they set up will have a Safe Zone, two Alert Zones (First Alert and Second Alert), and an Out Zone. SkyShepherd will continuously monitor their dog and use the included gateway system to relay info via the internet to their mobile device. As long as the collar is within range of any SkyShepherd gateway (up to a half mile in excellent conditions), the recipient can track their dog’s location and receive notifications in the app if their dog tests its boundary. Built for use at home or while traveling, this GPS dog containment collar also features a rechargeable battery for power on the go.

3. Gifting a Safe & Humane Pet Containment System

SkyShepherd’s unique, progressive, dynamic feedback always uses the lowest level of feedback necessary to guide a dog at its level of excitement. We call this approach to guidance and feedback, “Shepherding.” It allows for lower levels of stim, generally, and avoids it completely in low-excitement guidance situations, like when your dog is just sniffing around the yard and just bumps into the First Alert Zone. And, since the person you’re gifting SkyShepherd to knows their dog best, all feedback is user-selectable–they can decide what feedback is right for their dog. SkyShepherd also rewards a dog for doing the right thing by giving a friendly, periodic Safe Tone while the dog is in, or returning to, its Safe Zone (the area it’s supposed to be), another pillar of our Shepherding approach).
