### 2/5 — Tracking

*2026-08-06, version 2.0.21*

Constant problems with tracking and updating. Would not recommend.

### 2/5 — Horrible Customer Service

*2026-07-27, version 2.0.20*

The collars worked okay we bought 2 they kept the dogs in the zone however one of our collars would not keep charge and whenever I asked about a replacement they was really rude. Trying to support a local and veteran owned business and I would absolutely love to but when you don’t stand behind your product or make it right you’ve lost business from me and I will no longer be recommending you all.

### 4/5 — Awesome GPS Fence

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.19*

The GPS fence works great. However, the only time I get an alert is when the app is opened on my phone. An app for the Apple Watch that allows us to receive alerts when the boundary has been crossed would also be awesome!

### 3/5 — Spotty accuracy

*2026-06-30, version 2.0.19*

Negatives:  Dogs getting corrected inside safe zones.   No alert they have left boundaries on app-very quiet alert tone unless wearing earbuds or no alert at all.  No red light when powering off-hard to tell of collars are off when changing locations.  Switching between fences is clunky when 2 collars next to each other-first one will switch quickly but then has trouble finding the other collar. Static correction and /or vibration isn’t working every time they cross the boundary - my dogs know the boundaries very well at home and did before I got the collars but got these to help with chasing things which helps occasionally. Can definitely tell when is working because one dog will sit on edge of boundary and wait and other times blast through where it’s supposed to be and no sound from app. 

Positives:  multiple fences at various locations. Shareable with people watching your pets. Long charge (lasts all day) and re-charges quickly.

### 5/5 — Freedom for Zeus

*2026-06-30, version 2.0.19*

This pet containment system is the best I have used.  Zeus has 19 acres to explore and be a Labrador.  He knows his boundaries and respects them. I can easily locate him and call him home when it's time.   I highly recommend this product.

### 5/5 — Best Dog Protection Fence

*2026-05-28, version 2.0.16*

We LOVE the Spot On Fence!!!  My dog gets to be free out in our yard without having to install a vinyl or wood fence!!
He gets to see all the neighbors and his dog friends!!  It is very easy to use and charge!!
We love it for our big boy!  Easy to train on the fence as well!!

### 5/5 — Little kids and open doors

*2026-05-06, version 2.0.15*

I only use it at the lake. With a 3 year old coming to visit doors were open and dog was darting out contstantly. With collar she stays within her boundary. It was a god send. Also helpful playing with neighbors dog. No ropes getting tangled in.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-05-02, version 2.0.11*

I live in an area that does not have cell service. I am so impressed with the collar. It works! My dog was a quick learner and I have peace of mind that he isn’t leaving my unfenced yard****

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2026-04-20, version 2.0.11*

I was very pleased  and frankly surprised with the quick service I received during repair for my SpotOn collar. Thank you SpotOn(Tabitha and crew) you are awesome 👍.

### 4/5 — Like it more than I thought I would.

*2026-04-19, version 2.0.11*

I must say I like it more than I thought I would. It’s really got so many great features the only downside is charging it daily.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-04-17, version 2.0.11*

This is the best investment to keep your dog safe. I take the collar off. I can walk to my neighbors house with my dog. When the collar is on, she knows not to leave the yard. My dog likes to wander out in the woods, but with this collar, she knows her boundaries.

### 5/5 — Abby’s Collar

*2026-04-16, version 2.0.11*

I can’t believe how good my dog is doing with spot on collar, she doesn’t even wait to hear the tone she knows where to stop.  Haven’t tested whether it’s groundhog proof🤣 So far it’s deer proof.  We still periodically train but can’t even get her to go to the tone. So worth the money!!!!

### 5/5 — Great value

*2026-04-15, version 2.0.11*

Buy quality.  Works great even in dense woods.

### 4/5 — I can relax now

*2026-04-04, version 2.0.9*

This has definitely been a game changer for us while we visit with our families. The girls know their boundaries now. 

The only downfall is we ice fish, thought this would be perfect for the girls as we ice camp…we put up flags so they know their boundary, but the system wouldn’t pick up on the ice. This was one huge reason why we did this big purchase with 3 dogs. So for that reason, I give them a 4 star.

### 4/5 — Love this collar. Just got my third

*2026-04-03, version 2.0.9*

I have three Jack Russell terriers this is the only thing that I was able to keep them on my property. They would climb fencing. This is the most wonderful collar and I absolutely love the fact that I can take this collar anywhere put a fence up and they will be protected.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Will shock your dog randomly even if in the yard with good connection

*2026-06-16, version 2.0.19*

When the collar has good connection and my phone has good connection, majority of the time the collar will just updated to 20 minutes ago for example, and not actually show me my dogs location

### 1/5 — Collar is not reliable

*2026-06-08, version 2.0.18*

I’ve heard the cheaper collars are not reliable either, so better to spend less for the same issues.  Cannot connect to collar most times. Collar drops signal often and we live in the city where signal is not an issue. It used to work great, but over last 6 months this collar has declined in its reliable service. Don’t rely on it as your only source of boundary for your dog.

### 1/5 — Works Inconsistently

*2026-05-27, version 2.0.16*

It doesn’t connect to the satellite consistently. Sometimes the app says it’s working and it isn’t. No response five days after emailing and requesting a support call.
The collar was pinging/ringing through my cell phone. A $1,000, this is unacceptable.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-05-19, version 2.0.16*

It doesn’t connect consistently and consistently disconnects. Seeking information now on how to return it.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2026-04-10, version 2.0.10*

If you want your dog to get run over by a car get this collar. My dog excape fence daily.  (Can prove it via excape history and tracking) Have it on highest setting  still escapes. Company says to try this and try that doesn’t work

### 1/5 — I cancelled and they still charged renewal charges a year later

*2025-11-12, version 1.4.58*

I cancelled my subscription a year ago and just got an alert that my visa debit was billed for another year fees which is not cheap. I emailed and haven’t heard back. Absolutely not ok

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2025-11-01, version 1.4.57*

After barely a year and a half the collar is completely broken. The collar has extremely poor quality. We had to replace the clip twice within the first year and now the collar has completely ripped in half by not even 2 years. After spending $1,000 on this product, you would think it would be better quality. I’m assuming that’s why the warranty is only one year, because this is what happens after and then spot on isn’t liable for paying for another one. I would NEVER recommend this product especially for this price. Not worth it

### 1/5 — Would NOT buy

*2025-10-21, version 1.4.57*

The Bluetooth to change the settings on the collar, never work.

### 1/5 — Will not track

*2025-09-12, version 1.4.55*

We've had this system 1 year.  The collar totally quit working!  The company won't stand behind their product.  $1200.00 and only works for a year?  They told me I could purchase a new collar for $400.00.

### 1/5 — Worked well and broke quickly & was shocking dog randomly; new one broke quickly.

*2025-06-21*

I wanted to love it.  And I did for a while because so flexible.  Worked well and broke quickly & was shocking dog randomly; That was awful.  I actually tested it on me and was going off no where near set boundary. Yuck.  The collar also constantly fell off and they sent a new clasping system which worked.  New one electronic system broke quickly.  My dog keeps escaping and collar doesn’t track.  Bluetooth not connecting for update.  This is a Labrador that is mostly indoor but loves to role in dirt.  Should be able to handle normal dog behavior but original one inside components came loose quickly.  I wonder if I was given a faulty refurbished one.  Love concept!  Maybe the newest model addressed the collar falling off and more secure inside.  Hope this helps people make informed decision.  It’s not a perfect product as far as longest, but when working it was great.

### 5/5 — Still going strong

*2026-08-19, version 2.0.23*

We got this collar after fighting for a year with another popular brand that was supposed to be water proof. Enough about that other collar. 

What is great about this collar and company? They stand by their product and it is what they say it is. It is water proof, which is important for a lab that live on a lake. 

We’ve been using it for over a year and it still holds a good charge. It is easy to clean when the old boy finds something stinky to roll in. We live in a wooded area and it is accurate and displaying his location. Which has been useful on several different occasions. 

He slipped the collar twice this summer digging for bunnies in the brush after loosing some weight. We were able to find the collar by seeing where the collar was last located. Then used the blue tooth to identify when we were close to it. Then looked in that vacuity for disturbed ground. We changed the fence to keep him out of that area.

### 5/5 — Felipe & Kona

*2026-08-04, version 2.0.21*

Peace of mind for the whole family and safe. Our top choice, we love it! 🐾🐾🦮🦮🤎🤎

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-29, version 2.0.21*

This collar is a game changer

### 5/5 — Collars

*2026-07-24, version 2.0.20*

Best collars to keep my dogs in the yard an away from the road

### 5/5 — Amazing product & Company

*2026-07-23, version 2.0.20*

I’ve used the collar for over 2 years and couldn’t say anything other than it’s amazing! The company has top notch customer service. The few times I needed help they went above and beyond each time. I never write reviews but for this product it was a must   A+++

### 5/5 — Customer support

*2026-07-21, version 2.0.20*

I had a problem with My Spot on collar and reached out to them. They confirmed the issue and sent me a brand new collar immediately.  We are super pleased with this company and their product.

### 5/5 — Works incredibly well.

*2026-07-19, version 2.0.20*

This is really well designed and works amazingly. I’ve used it for vacations. I’ve used it at home. I’ve used it camping. Very very well. Done

### 5/5 — Amazing Collar! Worth every penny!!

*2026-07-11, version 2.0.20*

We have a 10 month old male pit bull who was full of energy, and made a game out of escaping out our front door. Crossing the street on a busy road was enough to scare us into this investment. The security of knowing he can be free and roam our 5 acres is amazing. We can barely keep him inside now that it’s summer! Also, he was trained in 1 day, which is AMAZING!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-07, version 2.0.19*

Amazing

### 5/5 — Avery The GSP

*2026-07-01, version 2.0.19*

Stress went from 11 on a scale of 1-10 down to just about Zero!!!! We took the time to train Avery on the borders and she is responding beautifully!! We have one of the best properties to enjoy our 2 GSP’s! Plenty of trails to hike on and a “Great Brook” (that’s the actual name of it because it is Great). Thank you for helping to make our lives better.
