Hey friends!
As dog owners, we have the responsibility of keeping our dogs safe by providing boundaries in which they are allowed to roam. As neighbors, we have the responsibility for keeping our dogs on our own property.
When we moved onto our farm, we had an underground electric fence installed. It worked for a little while but then it suddenly stopped functioning. We paid to have a company come out and repair the fence. However, several weeks later, the fence was, once again, not working. Unbeknownst to us, there are quite a few critters who live underground who found the wires to be fun to chew on. We were told that this would be a chronic problem.
We were so bummed. We live on 40-acres and wanted our dog to have access to most of it but there was no way that we were going to build a physical fence around it to contain him. With the underground fence no longer being an option, we set out to find a new solution.
While doing research, we came across a company called SpotOn, a virtual fence company.
“Virtual fence”… This piqued our interest! We contacted the company and decided to give it a try.
We received the system in the mail. It is quite simple…all you need is their collar. No buried wires. No base stations. Just their special collar and your phone. We followed their training plan and found it to be very user friendly.
SpotOn is the only truly wireless containment system that lets users create and manage up to 10 custom fences without the need for buried wires or base stations. Here are a few things that I LOVE about this system.
- We can create custom wireless dog fences of nearly any shape and size—from .5 acres to 5,000 acres
- For our acreage, it is significantly less expensive than a professionally installed buried wire fence system
- Whether you are moving, going to a park, or going on a weekend getaway, this system is portable and can easily go with you
- GPS is always on and does not always need a cellular connection to work
- We can more easily travel with our dog. It makes camping so much more enjoyable!
- Dogs can have room to roam at home or on the go
- Static correction is optional/adjustable
- It is a sensible, worthwhile investment in lifestyle
- Fosters a happier, healthier lifestyle for you and your dog
- SpotOn is in a class by itself
- Proper training is an important part of the system but it really is quite simple!
- More freedom for us and more freedom for our dog…win+win.
To say that we are pleased with this product is an understatement. My only regret, considering how much money we have spent in the past with having to leave our inground wire systems at previous homes, is that we didn’t get this collar sooner! I genuinely cannot recommend SpotOn Virtual Fence enough!
