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.

Best for: Owners of large, escape-prone or off-leash dogs in areas with reliable LTE coverage, who want unlimited-range live tracking and don't mind a recurring subscription.
