Great idea, poor execution
The battery life is too short, the chargers are unreliable, and the app is incredibly hard to use for anything. It takes entirely too long to connect to my collars regardless of whether I’m using Bluetooth, cellular, or GPS. If I need to see where my dogs are or send feedback when they’re barking at coyotes in the middle of the night, I can’t. And unlike Garmin, rather than adding another collar to the system, it’s another $500+ for a second collar plus another monthly fee. I’m still using the collars but will get rid of them as soon as I find another option.

Halo 4
We love our Halo collars. Customer service has been awesome. I do wish the batteries lasted longer but overall the collars have been amazing. I love that there can be multiple fences.
Our Belgian Malinois stays in his zone ..
Our Belgian Malinois LOVES to play frizz-bee in our large yard. We purchased the Halo collar this past spring and absolutely love the peace of mind knowing we can let “Rip” outside (always supervised) and he can run and play abs occasionally chase a rabbit out of his zone 😅 …. He’s not left the zone since we putting use.

Lifesaver Petsaver!
Our Golden Retriever has the run of 10 acres and I have piece of mind knowing he can’t leave the boundaries set for him and keeps him out of the fields and off the roads. Super easy to use and train and it’s a win/win for both of us!
Poor quality
I am disappointed with this collar. It has always been problematic; ever since I bought it, it would trigger alerts on its own. Although the company would always respond and provide a replacement, one of the collars recently started malfunctioning—I reached out to them, but received no response—and now the collar has stopped working entirely. I do not recommend it.

Disappointment
My dogs collar began to shock her for no apparent reason. I reached out to halo support via email and they didn’t even care enough to respond. Their collars are always going out of service or freezing up.
Halo Saved our Dog
Our rescue dog was an amazing addition to our home. But once she got comfortable, she would start running away or finding ways to get out or over our fence. She is an escape artist. It caused a lot of issues with our neighbors and also it caused us great stress when we thought she was gone forever and we’d have to go hunting for her. Halo was our last option since she listens to the queues and she has been trained to not go near the fence where she used to jump.

Love it!
I have a German shorthairs pointer who is a Tasmanian devil. I have zero stress or worry leaving my baby outside to play when she has the halo collar on. The tracking is instant and the miles and steps she’s ran is awesome knowledge

Bob the dog
Gives Bob more room to run our whole acreage instead of just a small circle around the house. Much better response from this collar than the old one also.
Great!
One Halo 5 battery discharges faster than the other. But the other gets a “ Feedback not confirmed” message every once in a while. Otherwise, it’s great!
Game changer!
I am beyond grateful for this OUTSTANDING system. We have acreage and a buried wire system or physical fence was not possible here. Halo is easy to use, easy to learn, and the fence perimeter is created on the app itself. My dogs have great respect for the boundaries. Before Halo, I couldn’t let them outdoors without a leash and close supervision. (Too many squirrels and rabbits!) LOVE THESE COLARS.

3 stars for the app - 4+ on the collar
Is it me or does the new app hide the battery life in settings? I miss having it easier and readily available. My newest collar maybe lasts 30-35 hours so I am constantly watching the battery to make sure to get it on the charger in time. To bury the amount of life is like hiding your fuel gauge.
Impossible to Cancel
It is impossible to
Cancel. They make you jump through multiple hoops to cancel. It honestly should be a click and cancel button but because they have shady practices they aren’t very accommodating

Great collars
Really happy with them, only thing I would change is sometimes in the house they start beeping. I have about 15 feet from the edge of my house to the edge of my property line on the side .
Emergency feedback not strong enough
This system is great to set map boundaries and to track your dogs movements. We have a Rottweiler and the emergency feedback is not strong enough to keep him in his boundaries. The shock he gets does not outweigh his want to chase the bunny or follow the grandkids.

Needs a breadcrumbs feature
Review
The collar works great when u have good cell service, but if u are remote and no cell service or WiFi it takes forever to find and connect to the collar, it won’t give feedback and battery life is poor for example if I charge it 100% it dies in less than 10hour because it’s constantly trying to connect, the fence feature is wonderful, over all if your in good cell tower location in town it’s great

App is hard to use
The functionality of the collar is great, but the app is just not intuitive. Changing fences requires a ChatGPT inquiry. There should be a walk in the woods mode where the whistle etc are big icons. Needs work
