Halo collar how to#
How to put on the collarįirst, and simplest, is how your dog will actually wear the collar. You’re going to learn all that, but I think these three things deserve highlighting. The thing is, as you get started you’ll be bombarded with information from setting up the app and picking your subscription, to training modules for your dog, to training modules for YOU that teach you how to actually use the collar. I call them hacks, but these are all pieces of information that Halo will give you.

If you opt for Halo’s top-tier Gold Plan for your subscription which is $29.99 per month at the time of filming you can access premium lessons, live sessions, and Q&A sessions with expert trainers, too. Basically that comes in the form of video training modules via the App. Halo prides themselves on their training programs, they’re developed by Cesar Milan – if you’re a dog owner you almost certainly know who he is.

My assessment based on my continued field testing is that the Halo Collar can be an effective tool for training your dog to stay in your yard off leash. In others, there are some nuances that can be leveraged to make sure you’re getting all that this collar has to offer.
