Unfortunately, SpotOn is not a good fit at this time
Image Source
While we'd love to help you keep your dog safe, but unfortunately SpotOn is not a good fit and here's why.A 15-foot buffer zone is necessary to account for GPS driftThe collars alert tones start 10 feet from your boundaryYour property is less than one-third acreWhen you consider the 15-foot buffer zone and how the alerts emit 10-feet before the boundary, this would lock your dog into such a small space to roam on your property. If you use any GPS dog collar system, it will not be enjoyable or fair for your dog.In the best interest of your dog, we recommend seeking out another solution.
