Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback regarding your experience with the Halo collar. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet the high standards we strive for. Regarding the durability concerns, we typically recommend using the protective case with the collar to enhance its longevity and resilience, especially given the active nature of dogs. We understand your frustration with the collar's durability and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our products. In terms of the GPS reliability, we acknowledge that inconsistencies can be challenging. We are committed to improving your experience and would like to offer a personalized solution. We can adjust the GPS signal level settings on your collar and suggest the use of beacons both indoors and outdoors to create more defined safe areas and reduce unwanted feedback. I highly recommend taking advantage of our live Dog Park feature for 1:1 video support. Our team will be more than happy to assist you in real-time, helping to optimize the collar’s settings for your specific needs and environment. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we hope to turn your experience around. Please visit our website to schedule a session at our live Dog Park, or contact us directly for further assistance. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we look forward to the opportunity to make things right for you and your pup.

We're genuinely sorry to hear about the challenges you've faced with our Halo Collar, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We understand how important it is to find the right solution for your pet's safety and training. Regarding the age and attention span of puppies, you're absolutely right. Younger dogs, particularly those under 5-6 months, often have shorter attention spans, which can indeed make training more challenging. This is why we recommend using the Halo Collar for dogs that are at least 5 months old and weigh a minimum of 20 pounds. We apologize if this aspect contributed to your difficulties. Concerning the issue with the outdated map, we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. To update the satellite imagery in the app, you can go to the 'My Map' tab, select the stack of paper icon, and then click on the "My map is outdated" button. This process should help in getting more accurate and up-to-date mapping for your property. Additionally, manually creating fence posts using the collar in hand can be an effective alternative. For more detailed guidance, please refer to our "How to create a fence" article on our website. As for your dog’s instinctual behavior, especially given its hunting breed characteristics, we understand that certain stimuli like squirrels or cats can overpower training and alerts. Revisiting training and reinforcing it continuously can often resolve such issues. We have seen many cases where persistent and consistent training helps in overcoming these instinctual reactions. We are sorry to hear about your experience with our customer service and the difficulties in seeking a partial refund. Please know that we are here to help and support you in any way we can. Your experience is valuable to us, and we are committed to learning from it to enhance our product and service. If there's anything more we can do to assist you, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for your honest feedback.

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you for your kind words regarding our customer service. We take great pride in striving to provide the best possible experience for our customers, and it's heartening to hear that you've found our efforts to be excellent. However, I am sorry to learn that you're considering returning the Halo collar. We understand that every dog has its unique personality and characteristics, which can sometimes make training a bit challenging. It's especially true for dogs with bold personalities and those with longer hair, like yours. We want to assure you that with consistent and positive training, many dogs can learn to respect the boundaries set by the Halo collar. Positive reinforcement plays a crucial role in this training process. Celebrating and rewarding your dog for obeying the boundaries can significantly aid in their learning. In terms of the collar’s functionality, experimenting with different sound types and vibrational patterns can sometimes yield better results. Additionally, for the static feature to work effectively, it is essential that both contact tips are making contact with the skin. This often requires ensuring the collar is snugly fitted, ideally with the speaker positioned under the right ear, to accommodate for your dog's long hair. We're committed to helping you and your dog have a successful experience with the Halo collar. If there's anything more we can do to assist, or if you would like further guidance on fitting and training, please do not hesitate to reach out. Your satisfaction and your dog's well-being are our top priorities. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to continue supporting you in any way we can.
