The verdict
Why it scored a 80
The current Halo model (Collar 4 is now closeout at $424), with 20 Hz dual-band GPS, fences drawn in the app and stored on the collar, and LTE on all three major carriers, which is why Features leads at 96. It is also the most expensive way to contain a dog: $599 list ($445–472 on Amazon deals) plus a required Halo Pack membership from $9.99/mo ($109.89/yr), daily charging on a 48-hour battery, a mandatory 21-day training program, and static correction. Warranty is the softest at 55.
