The Halo Collar does provide static feedback that is similar to a “touch”, so a lot like a top on your dog’s shoulder. It’s enough to break your dog's fixation in a dangerous situation or a distraction-filled environment, so they stay out of harm’s way. With the training process using this smart dog collar, you can customize the feedback to find the best level that your pup will respond to, so you can find the best tap on his shoulder effect that you and your dog are most comfortable with.
