Praise that comes up again
- dogs learn the boundary in ~2 days (App Store owner of three Halo 4)
- tracking + fence near highway
Praise
“The fence works perfectly around the house, and it only took about 2 days to understand the border.”
Complaint
“the main feature - and reason we bought it - GPS boundaries is absolutely worthless.”
Praise
“While charging time is shorter and battery life longer,”
Complaint
“The collars held a maximum of 12-16 hours - far less than advertised.”
Complaint
“We have 35 acres so when I am at the far end of our property, it takes time to respond.”
Quotes are word for word from the linked pages, and we pick praise and complaints alike. Reviews on the brand's own site and reviews written for a free product are not counted. Store ratings change over time; the date shows when we checked.
