Location Alerts

Location alerts notify you when your dogs enter or exit a
particular location. You can create a custom geofence or use a
radius around your current location.
A geofence is an invisible boundary around an area and is
created using points on the map. The virtual boundaries of a
geofence are accurate up to approximately 3 m (10 ft.).
Geofences perform best when sized to cover an area
encompassing an average sized backyard (approximately
¼ acre).
