I have to say… I tried making fences before I found your video and I got so frustrated. This morning, a new day, I watched your video and had my fence set up in a matter of minutes! Thank you sooo much!
I’m glad I found your videos. I’ve been spinning my wheels frustrated with indoor beacon training. Decided I’m going to try your approach instead, it makes more sense to me.
Every dog and situation is so very different. I used the training videos but they are not really geared towards dogs that are strictly outdoors. I had to adapt and find my own variations. I am not an experienced dog trainer so this may have contributed to the length of time it required, however I was quite committed and determined to make it work. I have a Great Pyrenees on 8 acres. Due to the breed being very independent thinkers, roamers and instinctual protectors, completely unmotivated by treats or toys and the size of my property- it was Soooo challenging to train her. I worked with her everyday rain, shine, sleet or snow. It has been 3 months now since she left our property. So almost 11 months before the Halo was effective with her. However I added a second Great Pyrenees dog in September (about 8 months into training), never bought her a collar (she has simple GPS for location purposes only) and my older dog literally guides and corrects the younger dog. It is astounding to watch. The younger dog has never breeched the boundaries since we brought her to the farm.
We just ordered the collar and it is desperately needed for our very energetic dog. Hopefully it will be as successful as yours. We are totally committed to this training. More later…..
Yes!!! I too am very intimidated by all the directions in the app! Wondering, is it necessary to do the indoor Beacon training? Or, can I go straight to what you did here in the video?
@@debfrazier3899 that’s personalized for your dog … you should always start with the lowest setting and move it up to get their attention. My dog is a 5 but you have to find what works for them.
How do you train your dog when the collar go off while she is in the fenced area. You see, I have trained her well on the boundaries so now when it goes off in the fenced area. She does circles not knowing which way to go. I have been back and forth with there engineers, tried different gps settings as they suggested, and it will seem to be working for a day or two and then it does it again. Do you think this can mentally miss your precious baby
Would it be helpful to use flags along the border as a visual cue in the beginning or do you think it’s not necessary? I haven’t purchased yet but desperately need a solution.
+Keira Hanmer every dog is different Vivi took about 4 days to get to the fence portion of training … when we did the fence it was about a week - but monitored for about 4-6 weeks.
What happens if my dog runs full speed after a rabbit and literally can't stop in time....if she goes beyond the other side of the fence boundary, is she now "10 feet away from the line" and therefore safely on the wrong side?
Great question since she’s in the last zone (if not past) it just stays in tracking mode (meaning the other alerts may not go off) … out of all the variables dogs are the wildcard
Yo when the video started i was thinking to myself imagine if the collar was shocking the shit out of the dog in the background lol hopefully not but ive heard halo collars tend to shock randomly even if not next to the edge
