You want to give your dog a taste of the good life: wide-open spaces, plenty of time outdoors, and the chance to sniff everything within nose-reach. With the right collar, that kind of freedom can be both safe and achievable wherever you go.
Halo Collar raises the bar for smart dog collars with unlimited customizable virtual fences you can set up anywhere your adventures take you—from hiking trails and campsites to beaches and vacation rentals. It makes the security of a fenced backyard as packable as their food, bed, and favorite toy. And with the addition of real-time GPS tracking, easy in-app management, and integrated expert-designed training tools, it’s the all-in-one collar you’ve been chasing your tail searching for.
Easy Setup
Even with all the advanced technology and smart features, this collar is super user-friendly. Everything is managed within the Halo App. Its Learn section is your starting point: There’s a library of helpful step-by-step guides and video tutorials covering everything from sizing your collar to building virtual fences to training your dog. Even after you’re up and running, you can return to Learn anytime for a refresh.

Your Halo Collar runs on a Pack Membership Plan. Each plan tier includes everything you need to keep GPS tracking and data running smoothly, plus a range of customizable fences, live user support, and exclusive discounts. Best of all, essential coverage doesn’t come at a premium—plans start at just $9.99 per month for your first collar.
Like the name implies, the whole pack can get in on Halo Collar membership. Households with multiple dogs can purchase collar bundles at a discounted rate and manage them all within the Halo App.
Expert Training
Take the lead of your pack with training guidance from the Dog Whisperer himself. Designed by world-renowned dog behaviorist Cesar Millan, Halo Collar uses a system based on positive association—rewarding good behavior and correcting unwanted actions.
In the app’s Learn section, you’ll discover how to acclimate your dog to the collar, practice recall, and build structured keep-away training. The video lessons and easy-to-follow guides also teach you how to use prevention and encouragement feedback effectively.

Since no two dogs are alike, Halo lets you personalize feedback: Choose from sound, vibration, or static. Static feedback—when enabled—delivers a gentle sensation, similar to a tap on the shoulder, not a shock. Every training aspect is customizable to meet your dog where they are, with scalable feedback and a range of voice commands, including Cesar’s signature “Tsch.”
Halo Fences keep your dog safely in your yard—no physical barrier or underground wire required. Plus, there’s zero maintenance or manual labor for you or escape routes for athletic pups who dig or jump. But what really sets the Halo Collar apart is the ability to create a fence anywhere. Set up a custom boundary to keep your pup close when you’re camping, visiting a friend’s house, or enjoying a day at the park. The whole setup process takes less than five minutes.
You can start creating a Halo Fence by searching for an address in the Halo App, then tapping to adjust the auto-generated boundary pins to your dog’s safe zone. Using the latest geolocation technology, you can rest confidently knowing the fence’s accuracy is the best possible (even better than your smartphone). Edit your fences anytime, and let the updates auto-sync to your dog’s collar.

Cell service isn’t required for Halo Fences to function either, making them ideal for outdoor adventure in dead zones. Create a new fence for your desired location before you head out into nature.
While Halo Fences aren’t escape-proof, thoughtful safeguards are in place to manage a breach. Feedback—sound, vibration, or static—gradually increases until your dog responds and returns to their safe zone. As your dog begins heading back toward the safety zone, feedback will stop completely to reward the correct behavior and reduce confusion, thanks to Halo Collar’s patented direction-detection system. You’ll get an immediate alert via app notification if a breach occurs, and you can use the real-time AlwaysOn GPS tracking to check your dog’s exact location.
Built for Adventure
Dogs like big adventures, so Halo Collar does too. This durable collar is designed to get out and stay out, lasting up to 48 hours on a single charge. It’s recommended to remove the collar each night and attach it to the magnetic charging port to start each day with a full battery.

AlwaysOn GPS tracking lets you monitor your dog’s location from your phone at any time, even if they decide it’s time for a swim. The Halo Collar 5 can handle fetch at the lake, ocean play, or rainy walks—its IP67 waterproof design is suitable for any dog that likes to get wet.
When it’s time to adventure together at the same pace, the app’s Health section lets you log the activity. Each activity summary includes distance, speed, and time spent moving, so you can easily track your pup’s exercise (and your own). It also tracks their freedom ratio and feedback count, turning every outing into a training opportunity that helps strengthen your bond. Halo Health will expand in late 2026 to include Outdoor Time Goals that track your dog’s total time outside and Active Time Goals, so you can monitor their daily movement from play to intentional exercise.
The Halo Collar is an advanced GPS dog fence co-founded by Cesar Millan. This patented smart collar combines a wireless fence, GPS tracking, training, and activity monitoring in one device—protecting more than 500,000 dogs daily. Visit halocollar.com to learn more.
