Shepherding\u2122 is a patented way of guiding dogs with the right amount and type of feedback. With SkyShepherd, feedback changes dynamically according to what your dog is doing and where it is in relation to the boundary, and even what direction it's heading. Shepherding incorporates positive reinforcement to encourage your dog to be where it should be. SkyShepherd automatically provides the right amount and type of feedback for your dog's level of excitement and location relative to its boundary.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            What happens if my dog goes out of its boundary?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>SkyShepherd is designed to keep your dog in your boundary. When coupled with training from our experience DogWatch Dealers, dogs using SkyShepherd rarely leave the containment area. In the rare instance that a pet does leave the boundary, SkyShepherd\u2019s unique Shepherding technology will start guiding your dog back home. If your dog breaks through its boundary, it may be because its adrenaline was very high at the time. Eventually your dog\u2019s excitement will lower to the point where your dog register\u2019s SkyShepherd\u2019s feedback again, and that\u2019s when Shepherding helps to guide it back. This is a feature exclusive to SkyShepherd.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            Will the stimulation from the SkyShepherd collar hurt my dog?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>SkyShepherd does not harm your dog. For a number of reasons, dogs feel stimuli differently than humans. SkyShepherd developers took all of these factors into consideration when optimizing the exact level of feedback necessary to guide dogs using e-stimulation. SkyShepherd's patented surface contact grid allows for low levels of power to be effective. Also, consider that SkyShepherd uses progressive zones of feedback that guide your dog back to Safe Zone and allow it a chance to turn around before experiencing static stimuli. The static stimuli used are effective yet harmless.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"faq__lists__list r\">\n                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            When can I begin training my dog with the SkyShepherd GPS dog fence collar?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>All dogs are different.

We also recommend having at least 50 feet between your boundary perimeter lines and any sheer, tall structure, like a vertical face of a two-story house.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, like all GPS based systems, densely covered areas of your yard will have a detrimental effect on location accuracy. This means of course inside your house, under covered structures, etc., but also if you have a lot of mature trees that form a canopy over sections of your yard. Additionally, high-tension power lines immediately nearby may cause interference with GPS.<\/p>\n<p>Unsure if the SkyShepherd GPS fence is right for you? <a href=\"https:\/\/hiddenfenceinc.com\/staging\/contact-us\/\">Contact us<\/a> to schedule a free consultation.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>                                    <div class=\"faq-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Question\">\n    <h3 class=\"faq-item__question\">\n        <button itemprop=\"name\" data-type=\"question\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n            What comes with the SkyShepherd GPS dog fence collar when I purchase it from a DogWatch Dealer?        <\/button>\n    <\/h3>\n    <div class=\"faq-item__answer\" data-type=\"answer\" aria-hidden=\"true\" itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\">\n        <div class=\"faq-item__answer__content type--content-styles type--content-margins type--content-link-style\" itemprop=\"text\">\n            <p>The SkyShepherd GPS dog fence systems includes the SkyShepherd GPS collar itself (a small plastic component that houses the GPS components, various processors, and the feedback delivery contact grid), a collar strap to attach the unit to your dog\u2019s neck, charging accessories, a Yard Monitor unit with attachable antenna, and product literature.
