BUYER BEWARE!!!
Another update 03/19/2025: HOW CAN YOU USE A SYSTEM THAT RELYS ON TRAINING WHEN YOUR DOG GOES WEEKS WITHOUT IT???!!! I'm so angry and disappointed. Here is my experience and there are countless others with the same one!!! Purchased 2 Halo Collar 4s on 11/7/24 Activated them on 11/18/24 One collar strap broke 12/25/24 1st collar malfunction (battery issue) Replacement approved on 12/30/24 I asked for rush shipping due to upcoming trip Was told no due to ongoing end of year inventory FINALLY receive the replacement collar on 1/11/25 Upon activation, it malfunctions again. (battery issue) I email them expressing frustration. I finally get a replacement collar approved on 1/20/25 At this point, my dog has not had a collar in 3 weeks. Replacement collar arrives 1/23/25 Collar malfunctions again on 3/6/25 (motion censor issue) Replacement collar JUST arrived yesterday BUT... before it did, my other dogs collar also malfunctioned (motion sensor issue) I AM ALL DONE WITH THIS! Customer service will no longer respond to me. I have asked for a refund and they said they'd reach out but nothing and wont answer messages. Here is my total investment: 2 Halo Collars (4) $1,142.99 Monthly Subscription Plan for Nov-Mar $58.96 Replacement Strap $42.67 Total $1,244.62 I want a refund of my money and communication from management. Others have successfully gone through the state attorney general. My next step is legal action. January 14th update: I am now working with customer service and they have offered to send a completely new collar. I'm giving this another try as the collar itself worked pretty well while it was working. On November 7th, I purchased 2 Halo Wireless Dog Fence and GPS Collars for a total of $1142.99. They shipped on November 11th. I began using them on November 18th. I also started paying a Bronze basic monthly subscription fee of $13.98. The collar GPS was MOSTLY reliable... at times it was delayed but overall I was mostly satisfied. Until, on December 29th... just over ONE MONTH of use...one of the collars showed a message saying critical issues, Battery issue, requires a replacement. Of course, I was irritated that the collar failed such a SHORT time after beginning its use. To me, the price tag should warrant a little better performance. But I figured okay, I'll get the replacement and hopefully it's a fluke. I messaged the company and explained I needed the new collar ASAP since we were leaving on vacation the end of the following week. I was assured by customer service my new collar would arrive shortly being that we live in Texas. Then the following day I received an email from customer service stating their year-end inventory meant nothing would ship until January 2nd. I was very upset but what could I do. I FINALLY received my replacement collar on January 11th!!! I linked it to my account and right away it showed the SAME CRITICAL ISSUE! Now my only choice is to start the entire replacement process AGAIN or try and get a refund. But there is no getting back the time I invested in training with this system and now will have to start over with my dogs, and especially my one dog who has been without her collar since December 29th. Customer service response: "I'm sorry to hear you're having the same issue with your replacement collar."
