Wagz has endeavored to create an all-in-one device designed to act as a tool to not only check and watch the health of your dog but also as a more humane form of containment.
A lot of people have complained about the use of shock collars. They instill training on the animal about the barrier of the property but does so by force and fear. While the voltage is designed to be low, what level of torture is ever acceptable. It’s for these reasons that companies like Wagz have gone in a different direction with their containment collars. The Freedom Smart Dog Collar uses audio, vibrations, or high pitch sounds to elicit a corrective response. The purpose, of course, is to correct the dog’s behavior.
A lot of people prefer sonic and vibration collars, over the electric shock, but concern in the marketplace exists over the fear of the effects on the emotional state of the animals it is used on. For these reasons, we reached out to check about one of the coolest features of the device, the Happiness Score. The Freedom collar collects Fit Unit data from the pet, data that monitors activity, steps, and compares exercise time to sleep time. For these reasons, while we respect the people who do not appreciate the technology of sonic or vibration tech used on dogs, this tech would be able to tell if it is having a negative effect on your dog’s lifestyle.
Down the road, they hope to introduce an invisible leash feature for walking your pet, and bark control. There’s an interesting story we have heard from family about a pair of dogs that learned the language level needed to activate their other dogs’ no-bark collars while keeping their collars inactive. They would then use the barks to tease their fellow dogs.
The collar also has geo-fencing and GPS so you don’t need to install additional equipment to make invisible fences. The GPS formes the keep in, and keep out zones through the app. You can even create up to 20 zones for your animals, to keep them out of a pool area, or sensitive sections.
Another beneficial factor of real-time GPS is that you can always know the location of your pet, as long as they are wearing their collars. The collar even tells you about the ambient temperature, so if they are outdoor dogs, and the collar alerts of a cold front, or a heatwave, you will be alerted to bring your dogs into your house.
While the collar is currently sold out, when it becomes available, you will be able to purchase it Here for $199.99. It is important to note that a membership is required and is available monthly or annually.
