How to Set Up the Halo Collar 3

What You'll Need

• Halo Collar 3
• Smartphone with Halo app
• Halo subscription plan
• WiFi network
• Time for dog training

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Charge the collar: Fully charge using the magnetic charger. This takes approximately 3 hours.
2. Download Halo app: Install and create your account.
3. Activate subscription: Choose a plan—required for GPS and fence features.
4. Add your dog: Enter your dog's name, breed, weight, and temperament details.
5. Pair the collar: Follow in-app instructions to connect the collar via Bluetooth.
6. Create virtual fences: Use the app's map to draw boundaries around your property. You can create multiple fence zones.
7. Set feedback preferences: Choose from sound, vibration, or static feedback for boundary warnings. Start with sound only.
8. Begin training: Halo includes Cesar Millan training videos. Complete the training program before relying on the fence.
9. Fit the collar: Place on your dog snugly—you should fit one finger between collar and neck.
10. Test the system: Walk your dog toward the fence boundary to verify alerts work correctly.
11. Enable activity tracking: Monitor your dog's daily activity and sleep patterns.

Troubleshooting

• Fence boundaries inaccurate: GPS can vary by a few feet. Build in buffer zones when creating fences.
• Dog ignoring feedback: Complete the full training program. Gradually increase feedback intensity if needed.
• Battery draining fast: Check GPS signal strength. Poor signal increases power consumption.
• Collar uncomfortable: Ensure proper fit. Some dogs need time to adjust to the weight.
