What are Feedback Responsiveness Scores?

Feedback Responsiveness Scores help you understand how effectively your dog responds to Warning Feedback. Scores range from 1 to 100, with 100 representing the best score.

These statistics are derived from collated data, giving you a comprehensive view of your pet’s safety habits. By analyzing these metrics, you can identify patterns, address potential concerns, and make informed decisions to improve your dog’s safety and well-being.

Important: This score is not a percentage, but a percentile ranking compared to other dogs using Halo Collars.

What Do These Scores Mean?

• High Score:
  Your dog consistently responds to Warning Feedback by turning around and returning to safety
• Low Score:
  Your dog often ignores Warning Feedback and triggers Boundary or Emergency Feedback

What Might Cause a Low Score?

If your dog frequently ignores Warning Feedback, it may indicate one of the following:

• Your dog does not feel or notice the Warning Feedback
• Your dog notices the feedback but does not understand how to respond

If Your Dog Is Not Noticing the Feedback

• Ensure the collar is properly fitted:
  • It should be snug, with contact tips touching the skin
  • A loose collar may prevent your dog from feeling the feedback
• Check feedback settings:
  • The intensity may be too low to get your dog’s attention
  • Revisit the training module where you determined proper feedback levels

To ensure your pup's collar is fitted properly, follow the instructions in the article Halo Collar Fitting & Orientation.

If Your Dog Does Not Understand the Feedback

• Revisit Pet Training to reinforce proper behavior
• Help your dog learn that feedback means:
  • Stop
  • Turn around
  • Return to safety
• Continue practicing based on the training module until your dog clearly understands the association
