Why GPS Accuracy Is a Safety Issue

Most GPS fence manufacturers test their products in open fields with unobstructed sky views. The results look impressive on paper: sub-meter accuracy, reliable containment, happy dogs. But that's not where your dog lives.

We tested in real backyards. Properties with mature tree canopies that block satellite signals. Metal sheds and outbuildings that cause multipath interference. Slopes that distort GPS geometry. Rain that attenuates already-weak signals. The results were alarming.

Our worst-performing unit drifted more than 30 feet in adverse conditions. When your dog's invisible boundary sits 200 feet from a busy road, that 30-foot drift means your dog is in the road before the collar even registers a breach.
