The GPS fence companies are betting you won't ask about these three things.
Let's talk about what the comparison charts leave out:
1. THE SMALL YARD PROBLEM
Most GPS systems require 1+ acre minimum. If you have a smaller or irregularly shaped yard, you're not even eligible.
Dog Guard works in any yard size or shape.
2. THE DAILY CHARGING REALITY
GPS collars need charging every single day. Miss one night and your dog has zero containment the next morning.
Dog Guard receivers? 30 days on a single charge.
3. THE SUBSCRIPTION MATH
GPS systems charge monthly fees that add up to thousands over the life of your system. Dog Guard? No monthly fees. Ever.
4. THE ACCURACY ISSUE
GPS can drift 10+ feet depending on weather and satellite connection. Near a road or property line, that drift matters.
Wired systems are precise to inches.
5. THE TRACK RECORD
Dog Guard: 35+ years of proven reliability, American-made quality, assembled in Troy, NY.
Most GPS companies: launched in the last 5 years.
We're not saying GPS is dangerous. We're saying wired underground fencing is more reliable, more accurate, and better for most situations.
