Creating a safe and effective Halo Fence for your dog involves thoughtful planning, especially when dealing with unique property layouts. Ideal fence configurations should maintain a significant distance from potential hazards while ensuring your dog's freedom and safety. In this article, we'll explore how to optimally set up your Halo Fence, even in challenging environments using our new Unique Fence feature.

Fences Excluding Buildings:

For properties where the fence is primarily in the front or backyard, excluding the building, there are clever ways to manage your dog's movement. An 'Ignore Fences' beacon can be positioned near the entrance of the building. This allows your dog to pass through the boundary without receiving feedback, making it safe for them to enter and exit the home.

Navigating Fences Near Roads

In scenarios where your fence intersects a road or is unavoidably close to one, the use of Halo Zone Beacons becomes essential. Placing these beacons on building corners or near the road can create an additional layer of containment, alerting your dog to stay within the safe confines of your property.

The optimal Halo Fence size is a space of at least 30x30 feet, ensuring ample room for your dog to roam and play. It's crucial to maintain a minimum distance of 15-20 feet (4.6-6.1 meters) between the fence and any roads or hazards. This buffer zone reduces the risk of your dog venturing into dangerous areas and provides peace of mind.
