Wireless Dog Fence GPS Collar Pet Containment System (Green)
A cheap, genuinely portable virtual boundary that works as a training aid. It is not a fence you'd trust with a dog's life.
Best for: Owners with a large, open, unfenced property who want a soft training boundary for a recall-trained dog under supervision, and who value that it packs into a bag for camping or a cottage.

The best-value LTE dog tracker you can actually buy in Canada, as long as you accept that the $76 hardware is a doorway to a monthly bill.
Best for: Owners of escape-prone dogs over about 4 kg (8.8 lb), rural and off-leash households, and anyone who wants nationwide live tracking rather than 60-metre Bluetooth range.
