Written by the company

SpotOn GPS Fence gives dogs the freedom to roam and owners the confidence that comes with truly reliable containment. Designed, engineered, and supported in the USA, SpotOn is the original GPS-powered virtual dog fence and continues to set the standard for accuracy, reliability, and performance. At the core of SpotOn is patented True Location™ GPS technology, which corrects for common GPS issues like drift and signal interference. With the launch of the new Nova Edition, that technology takes a major leap forward—leveraging best-in-class hardware, industry-leading accuracy, and all-new smart features to deliver even more consistent containment in real-world conditions, based on over 5 million hours of real-world dog movement data. Using the SpotOn app, you can create custom fences in minutes—no wires, no digging, no maintenance, and no subscription. Set boundaries as small as 1/3-acre or as vast as you need, even in remote areas with heavy tree cover. As your dog approaches a boundary, the collar delivers clear, fair alerts through tones and vibration that trigger precisely when they should. You can also track your dog’s location in real time, right from your phone. Backed by real human support, SpotOn is built for people who want dependable technology, thoughtful training support, and freedom that works in the real world.

I bought the first model collar had an issue, it broke when my son tried to grab the dog when someone came over. No questions asked, they just replaced it with a new and updated collar. They said it was still under warranty. What a great company.! Really take care of their customers! Very easy to work with.

Great Pyrenees-capable Creek solution

We moved next to a creek and needed a creative solution to keep our 2 Great Pyrenees near our new property. The collars work well with training and appropriate feedback. Great solution and cheaper than a big ass fence that wouldn't look nice anyways.

I am very satisfied with Spot On

I am very satisfied with Spot On. Not only does the collar work great in the woods where the internet is spotty at best BUT when I had trouble with my dogs collar, they replaced it for free. I didnt even have to ask. The collar was well over a year old and been in mud, water and who knows what else. With great customer service and the reliability of the collar, rest assured Ill be a long time customer. Thanks guys.

Reply from SpotOn Fence

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're sorry to hear you're having trouble with connectivity and the call feature. We understand how frustrating it is when your collar doesn't connect as expected.

SpotOn uses GPS satellites for containment, which works independently of cellular service. However, features like remote tracking, the call-back feature, and notifications require a strong, reliable cellular connection on both your collar and phone. Signal availability can vary depending on local coverage, terrain, and surrounding structures.

If you continue to experience connection issues, please contact our Support team at support@spotonfence.com or call 603-488-1504. We'd be happy to review your collar's connectivity and help troubleshoot the issue!

Opportunity to Improve. Service Recovery

After researching several options we were happy to spend the money for this unit because we felt it was worth it based on what we learned. We are still not able to use the product because it will not charge. I requested a replacement as soon as we opened it and discovered the issue. I did receive a prompt response, I was disappointed that rather than being able to exchange the brand new and non-functioning unit for a replacement I was asked to go through many additional steps, send photos, etc. I have still not resolved the issue and we have not been able to use the product at all thus far.

Reply from SpotOn Fence

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're truly sorry your SpotOn collar hasn't worked since you received it and that you haven't been able to enjoy the product you invested in. We understand how disappointing this must be, especially after taking the time to research and choose SpotOn.

After reviewing your Support history, we see that you contacted us in August, and our team promptly responded and requested photos to help assess the issue. It appears we haven't yet received those photos, which has prevented us from moving forward with the next steps. We understand that these additional requests can feel frustrating when you're simply hoping to receive a working collar.

We'd appreciate the opportunity to pick up where we left off and help resolve this. Please reply to your existing Support email or contact us at support@spotonfence.com or 603-488-1504. We want to help you and your dog finally enjoy the freedom SpotOn is meant to provide!

Great when it works. Constantly have issues with the collars fence not aligning with the map. Can be 15+ feet off from where map says it is vs where collar beeps /shocks. After a couple years it won't even turn in any more

It makes us so happy to know your dog can run, play, and explore all three acres while giving you peace of mind that he's staying safely away from the road.

Pretty good...BUT

Right after purchasing my first collar the Nova series came out and I had to send it back and pay more to upgrade. I should have been notified the Nova was about to drop so I didn't have to go through all that and pay more. I like the features of the Nova but the charging system leaves a lot to be desired. The charger is easily disconnected, it should be a more solid connection. Overall I am fairly happy with SpotOn.
