When I first looked at GPS collars for my dog, I honestly thought all they did was show me where my dog was and honestly, that’s exactly what trackers like Tractive excel at. They’re lightweight, easy to clip on, and tell you if your pup wanders off a property boundary, but only after it’s already happened. I found myself constantly refreshing the app, waiting to see exactly where he was, which didn’t do much to stop him from testing limits or help him learn where he was actually allowed to roam. It was always reactive, not proactive.

Does your dog have a stomach of steel and a taste for…well, poop? As gross as it sounds (and smells), dogs eating their own feces—or even that of other animals—is surprisingly common. If you’ve ever caught your pup snacking on something straight out of the litter box, you’re definitely not alone. I’ve been there, too—one of my dogs used to think our cat’s poop was a gourmet treat. So why do they do it? Is it harmful? And most importantly, how do you get them to stop? Let’s dig in (not literally, thankfully).

When I first started comparing GPS fences and e-collars, I realized they’re usually designed for very different purposes one focuses on freedom and boundaries, the other on training and communication. What changed my perspective was discovering an option that blends both. Halo Collar brings GPS fencing and e-collar functionality together in a way that supports learning and freedom, which felt like a more realistic solution for real life with an active dog.
