Stories of Technology, Innovation, & Entrepreneurship in the Southeast

Knoxville-headquartered PetSafe^® has announced the launch of the first-ever portable global positioning system (GPS) dog fence and tracking collar featuring the brand’s patented AccuGuard^TM technology – the most accurate GPS fence technology available anywhere.

As a result, for the first time ever, dog lovers have the option to bring this lifesaving technology along with them outside their own yard, while monitoring their dogs’ real-time location in the My PetSafe^® mobile app.

The technology, known as the Guardian^® GPS + Tracking Dog Fence, is the culmination of more than 25 years of pioneering innovation, and is the latest and most versatile addition to the PetSafe^® Guardian® GPS family of pet fence products. The brand now offers a GPS fence option that will keep dogs safe at home and on the go, so homebodies and travelers alike can keep their dogs safe with the freedom to create and store up to 20 custom GPS boundaries anywhere.

In addition, the new Guardian^® GPS + Tracking offers the ability to track a dog’s movement wherever they are, from the backyard to the beach, the park and beyond.

Unlike competitors, the technology is powered by AccuGuard^TM technology. This lifesaving, artificial intelligence-driven innovation combines GPS satellite data and motion detection to provide the most accurate GPS fence technology ever, able to predict when your dog is approaching the fence boundary earlier than competitors and far before a pet has potentially breached a boundary. That means industry-best protection in tree cover, the lowest risk of false corrections inside the fence boundary, and the lowest risk of a dog running past the boundary. Everything about this technology is designed to allow dogs to enjoy off-leash play safely inside a secure, wireless GPS boundary.
