Halo Collar® develops GPS-enabled smart dog collars that combine virtual fencing, real-time location tracking, activity monitoring, training guidance, and nationwide LTE connectivity into a single wearable device. Through the Halo Collar mobile application, compatible collars allow homeowners to create customizable wireless fences, monitor live GPS location, receive escape alerts, track daily activity, monitor battery health, review location history, and remotely manage multiple dogs. Halo's patented GPS technology eliminates the need for buried wires while providing advanced safety features designed to keep dogs safely contained and easier to locate if they leave designated boundaries.
