We're learning about grouse hunting together!
I was really undecided on whether I wanted to hunt with Rory for realsies because I don't have a shotgun and I don't really care to get a shotgun (I have a gun license from my time up north). I have a small air rifle and a tactical slingshot (both legal for hunting small game in my area) so I've been taking those for walks in hunting areas, along with all my permits and stuff, just to see what we see.
This grouse woods is in the same corner as my swamp, just a different part of the rec area. You can legally hunt small game during the open season with dogs with some restrictions (certain distance from the parking, some trails close for hunting on a rotational basis for maintenance, etc.) but it's not terribly popular so it's a really good area to learn. We are looking for ruffed grouse and rabbit, both of which are super common out here.
With pointing dogs like britts, you generally don't want to shoot any game unless they're pointing steady (*except when doing gun conditioning, but that's a specific training set up) - it makes sense because a shot bird is the ultimate reward and you want to make sure you're reinforcing the behaviour you want, which is usually a safe steady point. Rory isn't pointing steady yet so there's really not much for me to do on these walks besides reinforce good manners (recall, how far she ranges, etc.).
There's a really well known saying in pointing dogs, which is wild birds make bird dogs. Wild birds flush (fly away) much more reliably than farmed birds so the chances of a dog catching a wild bird is really minimal compared to farmed birds. It's super important to get young bird dogs on wild birds as much as possible so they learn all the important skills: how to navigate terrain, what habitat holds birds, what each bird species smells like, how far they can range, and most importantly, that they need a person to actually get a bird.
(Most of these skills can be taught with planted birds in training, but planted birds may be more habituated to people and dogs so they might not flush reliably. Once pointing dogs learn that they can catch birds themselves, it's much harder to foster a strong stop and point. You might see people using these tip ups, which protect the training bird from the dog. You'll often see training dogs on long lines (called check cords) or with a flank collar to reinforce not getting too close to the bird, but you have to phase those out quickly so the dog doesn't become dependent on them. You also have to be really careful with scent trails when setting up planted birds or you might end up with a dog that follows your scent instead of looking for birds organically. And of course, you have to train without birds sometimes so the dog doesn't get discouraged about not finding birds quickly because sometimes there just aren't birds out there. Lots to consider when setting up training!)
Anyway I've been trying to get Rory out on wild birds as much as possible (with the caveat that we don't run wild birds during nesting season) so we're wandering the grouse woods lately. My early recall training is really paying off because she's been super reliable in terms of good manners, it's wonderful to see!
We've been out four times (1-2 hours each) so far since the season opened. The first two times we're mostly just a pleasant walk in the woods, Rory didn't really know what we were doing so she was just vibing (THIS IS TOTALLY FINE, SHE'S NEW TO THIS). We had a couple chance grouse encounters and I could see the wheels turning, I encouraged her to sniff around where the grouse were sitting before they flew off and I watched her start to connect the dots.
(It's important to remember that dogs don't know what they're looking for until you show them. Most bird dogs are naturally birdy, but they don't know which birds are good and which birds are boring! You have to show them which birds you care about - this is easiest if you can run with an experienced hunting dog, but you can do it alone like I am by making a big deal about any interest in the "correct" birds.)
The last time we went out to the grouse woods, she did a couple of really nice whip-arounds when she caught scent she liked and followed scent off the trail I was walking! This is the behaviour I want to see so it was awesome to watch it start to click! She trailed a moose (don't want that, she found some moose pee to roll in so whatever), a pileated woodpecker (again, don't want that but it was cool to see), and two separate grouse. The first was on the wrong side of the fence so I couldn't do anything about it but she held a really nice point (the photo) and I gave her a ton of chicken and praise for it. The second was a quick point but it flushed really far away so there was no finding it again. Both birds weren't visible when she found them, they were true scent points and she was strategically looking for them so that was super cool!
She's still in heat and super sensitive right now so I wouldn't shoot over her anyway, but I'm getting pretty accurate with my slingshot so I'm hoping we can connect on something this fall - both for her pointing steady and me aiming properly. She gets more steady and more sure of herself every time we go out so it's only a matter of time!
#rory borealis#about aurora#bird dog training#dogblr#this is a long one!#its pretty rambly about my thoughts about grouse hunting training so far#one real issue im having right now is how gear-sensitive rory is#she will happily wear a regular collar (or an ecollar - shes conditioned to wearing it but i dont use it on her yet)#but i cant put a bell or a belly protector on her without her freaking out#it makes her super shut down and upsetti and it sucks#ultimately its not a big deal because she ranges appropriately and i can have eyeballs on her at all times#but i would like her to wear an orange belly protector for these kinds of outings because its hard on her body#i have to revisit gear desensitization once shes done her heat#ive never had a dog that was this avoidant of gear tbh#on the note about gear:#rory has exceptional recall especially for a young bird dog#you'll notice im running her naked without an ecollar or gps collar#if youre following along and want to train your dog for grouse hunting PLEASE use appropriate gear for your dog#dont ruin the privilege of running dogs on public land by not having reliable control over your loose dog#i really dont gatekeep most of the areas i run my dog - i am so so happy to give local people recommendations on where to run#but please please please dont be the person who ruins it for us#i dont say this to be rude like live your dream#but consider the ethics and the privilege of having access to these areas and how easily they could be taken away#(sorry thats a rant but you get it)

Ensure Your Dog's Safety and Comfort This Fourth of July with the Halo Collar GPS Virtual Fence
Introduction
The Fourth of July is a time for celebration, filled with barbecues, fireworks, and gatherings with loved ones. However, while we enjoy the festivities, our four-legged family members may find this holiday overwhelming and stressful. The loud noises, flashing lights, and unfamiliar activities can turn what should be a fun day into a nightmare for our dogs. This is where the Halo Collar GPS Virtual Fence comes into play, providing a solution that keeps your dog safe, secure, and stress-free during the Independence Day celebrations.
Understanding the Fourth of July's Impact on Dogs
For many dogs, the Fourth of July is one of the most stressful days of the year. The sudden and loud explosions from fireworks can trigger anxiety and fear in even the most laid-back pets. Dogs have acute hearing, and what sounds like a minor pop to us can be a terrifying boom for them. This often results in dogs trying to escape, hiding, or exhibiting signs of severe anxiety such as panting, pacing, and excessive barking.
In fact, more pets go missing on the Fourth of July than any other day of the year. The combination of fear and confusion can lead to dogs running away from their homes, putting them at risk of injury or worse. As responsible pet owners, it's crucial to take steps to ensure our dogs are protected and comfortable during this time.

Introducing the Halo Collar GPS Virtual Fence
The Halo Collar is more than just a GPS tracker—it's a comprehensive safety and training system designed to give your dog the freedom to explore while keeping them safe. Unlike traditional fences, the Halo Collar creates a virtual boundary that you can customize to suit your property. If your dog approaches the boundary, the collar will gently guide them back, using customizable feedback like sound, vibration, or static correction, depending on your dog's needs and training.
How the Halo Collar Keeps Your Dog Safe on the Fourth of July
Real-Time GPS Tracking
One of the most significant features of the Halo Collar is its real-time GPS tracking. If your dog ever leaves the designated safe area, you will receive an instant alert on your smartphone. This allows you to act quickly and ensure your dog's safety, even in the chaos of the Fourth of July celebrations.
Customizable Virtual Fence
The Halo Collar allows you to create virtual fences anywhere, whether you're at home, at a friend's house, or on vacation. This flexibility ensures that your dog always has a safe space, no matter where the holiday takes you.
Stress-Reduction Through Training
The Halo Collar also serves as a training tool, helping you reinforce positive behaviors in your dog. Leading up to the Fourth of July, you can use the collar to train your dog to respond calmly to various stimuli, including fireworks. Over time, this can significantly reduce their anxiety and help them feel more secure during the holiday.
Preventing Escapes
With its gentle feedback system, the Halo Collar deters your dog from crossing the boundary without causing harm. This is especially important on the Fourth of July when the sound of fireworks might tempt even the most obedient dogs to bolt. The Halo Collar ensures they stay within the safe zone, giving you peace of mind.
Tips for a Stress-Free Fourth of July with the Halo Collar
Early Training: Begin using the Halo Collar well in advance of the Fourth of July. This will give your dog time to get used to the virtual fence and the feedback system, making it easier for them to stay calm during the holiday.
Create a Safe Space Indoors: Even with the Halo Collar, it's a good idea to create a safe, quiet space indoors where your dog can retreat if they feel overwhelmed. Make sure this area is away from windows and doors to minimize exposure to the noise and lights of fireworks.
Provide Distractions: Keep your dog occupied with their favorite toys, treats, or a puzzle game. The more engaged they are, the less likely they are to focus on the fireworks.
Stay Calm: Dogs are highly attuned to their owners' emotions. If you remain calm and relaxed, your dog is more likely to do the same. Use soothing tones when speaking to them and avoid reacting to the fireworks yourself.
Why the Halo Collar is a Must-Have for Dog Owners
The Halo Collar isn't just for the Fourth of July—it's a year-round solution for dog owners who want to ensure their pet's safety while giving them the freedom to explore. Whether you're taking your dog on vacation, to a new park, or just want the peace of mind that comes with knowing they won't wander off, the Halo Collar is an invaluable tool.
Versatility and Portability
The Halo Collar is portable and can be used anywhere. This means you can set up a virtual fence at home, at a friend’s house, or even in a campsite. The flexibility ensures your dog is safe no matter where your adventures take you.
Comprehensive Safety Features
In addition to GPS tracking and the virtual fence, the Halo Collar offers activity tracking and a built-in nightlight, ensuring you can keep an eye on your dog in low-light conditions. These features combine to offer a comprehensive safety solution for your pet.
Peace of Mind
For dog owners, there's nothing more important than knowing their pet is safe. The Halo Collar provides that peace of mind, allowing you to enjoy your Fourth of July festivities without constantly worrying about your dog's well-being.
Real-Life Success Stories
Many dog owners have already discovered the benefits of the Halo Collar, especially during the Fourth of July. For instance, Sarah, a dog mom from Texas, shared her experience:
"Last year, our dog Max bolted during the fireworks display and we spent hours searching for him. It was terrifying. This year, we decided to try the Halo Collar, and it made all the difference. Max stayed calm and within the yard the entire time. The real-time tracking was a lifesaver, and knowing he was safe allowed us to actually enjoy the holiday."
Stories like Sarah's are common among Halo Collar users, who appreciate the combination of safety, convenience, and training capabilities that the collar provides.
Conclusion
The Fourth of July should be a day of celebration, not stress—especially for our dogs. With the Halo Collar GPS Virtual Fence, you can ensure your pet is safe, secure, and as stress-free as possible during the holiday. By combining cutting-edge technology with thoughtful training, the Halo Collar offers a comprehensive solution that allows you and your dog to enjoy the Fourth of July to the fullest.
Invest in your dog's safety and peace of mind this Independence Day and beyond with the Halo Collar. It's more than just a collar; it's a lifeline for your dog's well-being, offering freedom, safety, and comfort all in one.

GPS Tracking: The collar provides accurate, real-time location tracking, so you always know where your dog is.
Virtual Fences: Set up boundaries that trigger alerts or corrections if your dog strays too far.
Training Tools: The collar includes gentle feedback options, such as sounds and vibrations, to guide your dog’s behavior.
Activity Monitoring: Keep track of your dog’s daily activity levels to ensure they are getting enough exercise.
One of the most compelling features of the Halo Dog Collar is its ability to create virtual fences with just a single tap on the Halo app. This function is what sets the Halo Dog Collar apart from traditional GPS trackers and physical fences.
Step-by-Step Guide: How to Set Up a Virtual GPS Fence
Setting up a virtual GPS fence using the Halo Dog Collar app is incredibly easy. Whether you’re at home, in the park, or on vacation, you can establish safe zones for your dog in just a few moments. Here’s how:
Step 1: Open the Halo Dog Collar App
Start by opening the Halo app on your smartphone. If you haven’t already downloaded the app, it’s available for both iOS and Android devices. Once the app is open, make sure your Halo collar is connected to your phone via Bluetooth or cellular data.
Step 2: Access the Virtual Fence Feature
From the app’s home screen, navigate to the "Virtual Fences" section. This is where you can view existing fences, modify them, or create new ones. The interface is designed to be intuitive, so even if you’re not tech-savvy, you’ll find it easy to use.
Step 3: Set Your Fence Location
To set up a new virtual fence, tap the “+” button or the option to create a new fence. The app will prompt you to select a location on the map. You can either use your current location or choose another spot by dragging the map to your desired area. This is particularly useful if you’re setting up a fence at a place other than your home, like a park or a friend’s house.
Step 4: Define the Fence Boundaries
Once you’ve selected the location, you’ll need to define the boundaries of your virtual fence. The Halo app allows you to draw a custom-shaped fence by tapping on the map to create boundary points. Alternatively, you can choose from predefined shapes like circles or squares. The app will automatically calculate the area within the boundaries and display it for your review.
Step 5: Save and Activate the Fence
After setting the boundaries, simply tap “Save” to activate the fence. Your virtual GPS fence is now live, and your dog’s collar will notify them if they approach or cross the boundaries. You can monitor their location in real time and receive alerts on your phone if they stray too far.
That’s it! In just a few taps, you’ve created a safe zone for your dog, no matter where you are.
Benefits of Virtual GPS Fences
The ability to create virtual GPS fences with the Halo Dog Collar offers numerous benefits for both you and your dog. Let’s explore some of the key advantages:
1. Enhanced Safety for Your Dog
The primary purpose of a virtual GPS fence is to keep your dog safe. By establishing boundaries, you can prevent your dog from wandering into dangerous areas, such as busy streets, dense forests, or unfamiliar neighborhoods. The real-time alerts allow you to act quickly if your dog leaves the designated area, giving you peace of mind.
2. Flexibility and Convenience
Unlike traditional physical fences, virtual GPS fences can be set up anywhere, anytime. Whether you’re at home, visiting a friend, or traveling, you can create a safe zone for your dog with minimal effort. This flexibility is particularly valuable for dog owners who live in apartments, have large properties, or frequently take their pets on trips.
3. Cost-Effective Solution
Installing a physical fence can be expensive and time-consuming, especially if you have a large yard or live in a rented property where modifications are restricted. Virtual GPS fences eliminate the need for costly installations and maintenance, providing a cost-effective solution for keeping your dog secure.
4. Customization and Control
With the Halo Dog Collar app, you have complete control over your dog’s boundaries. You can easily adjust the size and shape of the virtual fence to suit your needs, ensuring your dog has enough space to roam while staying within safe limits. Additionally, the app allows you to set up multiple fences in different locations, which is ideal for multi-property owners or frequent travelers.
5. Training and Behavioral Guidance
The Halo collar is equipped with gentle feedback mechanisms, such as sounds and vibrations, that can be triggered if your dog approaches or crosses a boundary. These cues help reinforce your dog’s understanding of the boundaries without causing stress or discomfort. Over time, your dog will learn to stay within the safe zones, making the virtual fence an effective training tool.
Real-Life Success Stories
The Halo Dog Collar and its virtual GPS fence feature have garnered praise from countless dog owners who have experienced the benefits firsthand. Here are a few success stories:
Sarah and Max: A Travel Tale
Sarah, an avid traveler, loves taking her Golden Retriever, Max, on road trips across the country. However, she always worried about Max’s safety in unfamiliar places. After investing in the Halo Dog Collar, Sarah was able to set up virtual fences at every campsite and rental home they stayed at. Max could explore new environments freely, while Sarah enjoyed peace of mind knowing that Max was safe. “It’s like having an invisible fence wherever we go,” says Sarah. “The Halo collar has made our travels stress-free.”
John and Bella: Suburban Adventures
John lives in a suburban area with open spaces and busy roads nearby. His energetic Border Collie, Bella, loves to run and explore, but John was concerned about her venturing too far. With the Halo Dog Collar, John set up a virtual fence around his property, allowing Bella to roam the yard without the risk of escaping. “Bella gets to enjoy her freedom, and I don’t have to worry about her running off,” says John. “It’s the perfect solution for active dogs.”
Emily and Cooper: Apartment Living
Emily lives in an apartment complex with limited outdoor space for her Beagle, Cooper. She was hesitant to let Cooper off-leash in the shared courtyard until she discovered the Halo Dog Collar. Now, Emily sets up a virtual fence in the courtyard every time they go outside, giving Cooper the freedom to play without the risk of wandering off. “It’s amazing how easy it is to set up a fence with the app,” says Emily. “Cooper loves the extra space to explore, and I love knowing he’s safe.”
These stories illustrate how the Halo Dog Collar’s virtual GPS fence feature has transformed the lives of dog owners, providing them with a reliable and convenient way to protect their pets.
Tips and Tricks for Optimal Use
To get the most out of your Halo Dog Collar and its virtual GPS fence feature, consider the following tips:
1. Regularly Update the App
Make sure your Halo app is always up to date. The developers frequently release updates that improve functionality, add new features, and enhance security. Keeping the app updated ensures you’re getting the best performance possible.
2. Test the Fence Before Use
Before relying on the virtual fence in a new location, it’s a good idea to test it out. Walk your dog around the boundaries to see how the collar responds and make any necessary adjustments to the fence settings.
3. Monitor Battery Life
The Halo collar relies on battery power for its GPS tracking and feedback mechanisms. Regularly check the battery level and recharge the collar as needed to ensure it’s always ready to protect your dog.
4. Customize Feedback Settings
Every dog is different, so customize the feedback settings to suit your dog’s personality and training needs. Some dogs may respond well to sound cues, while others may benefit from gentle vibrations. Adjust the settings to find what works best for your pet.
5. Use Multiple Fences
If you frequently visit different locations with your dog, take advantage of the Halo app’s ability to store multiple virtual fences. You can easily switch between saved fences or create new ones as needed, ensuring your dog is always protected.
Conclusion
The Halo Dog Collar’s virtual GPS fence feature is a game-changer for dog owners who want to provide their pets with freedom and safety. With just a single tap on the Halo app, you can create a secure environment for your dog to explore, whether you’re at home or on the go. The ease of use, combined with the flexibility and peace of mind it offers, makes this feature an invaluable tool for any pet owner.

Whether you're a tech-savvy pet owner or someone who’s new to smart pet devices, this guide will help you make the most of this fantastic tool.
What is a Virtual GPS Fence?
Before diving into the “how-to,” it’s essential to understand what a virtual GPS fence is and why it’s beneficial for your dog. A virtual GPS fence is a digital boundary that you set around a specific area, such as your yard, a park, or any place you frequent with your dog. Once the boundary is set, the Halo Dog Collar monitors your dog’s location in real-time, alerting you if they approach or cross the defined boundary. This feature ensures that your dog remains safe within the designated area and gives you peace of mind when your dog is off-leash.
How to Create a Virtual GPS Fence with a Single Tap
Creating a virtual GPS fence with the Halo Dog Collar app is designed to be intuitive and straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Open the Halo Dog Collar App
Ensure your phone is connected to the internet and open the Halo Dog Collar app. The app is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from their respective app stores.
Step 2: Connect to Your Halo Dog Collar
Before setting up the GPS fence, make sure your Halo Dog Collar is charged and connected to the app via Bluetooth. Once connected, you’ll see the collar’s status on the app’s home screen.
Step 3: Navigate to the GPS Fence Feature
On the app’s main interface, look for the GPS Fence feature. This is typically represented by a map icon or a “Create Fence” button. Tap on this to begin the process.
Step 4: Select Your Desired Area
The app will display a map of your current location. You can zoom in or out to adjust the view. To create a fence, simply tap on the area you want to define as a boundary. The app will automatically generate a circular or polygonal fence around the selected spot.
Step 5: Adjust the Fence Size and Shape
You can customize the fence by dragging the boundary points to expand or shrink the area. This feature allows you to create fences that perfectly match your yard’s layout or any specific area you choose.
Step 6: Save Your Virtual Fence
Once you’re satisfied with the fence’s size and shape, tap the “Save” button. Your virtual GPS fence is now active, and the app will start monitoring your dog’s location relative to this boundary.
Step 7: Monitor and Enjoy Peace of Mind
After setting up the fence, the app will notify you if your dog gets close to or crosses the boundary. You can also track your dog’s activity and location in real-time, ensuring they’re always safe.

Benefits of Using the Halo Dog Collar’s Virtual GPS Fence
Now that you know how easy it is to set up a virtual GPS fence, let’s explore the benefits of this feature:

The most significant advantage of a virtual GPS fence is the added layer of safety it provides. Whether you're at home or on the go, knowing that your dog is within a safe zone gives you peace of mind. The app’s instant alerts allow you to react quickly if your dog ventures too far.
2. Convenience
Setting up a traditional physical fence can be time-consuming and costly. A virtual GPS fence eliminates these concerns, allowing you to create and adjust boundaries within seconds, directly from your smartphone.
3. Flexibility
Virtual GPS fences are incredibly flexible. You can create multiple fences in different locations, perfect for when you travel or visit friends and family. This feature ensures your dog is always protected, no matter where you are.
4. Training Tool
The GPS fence can also be used as a training aid. By setting boundaries, you can teach your dog to stay within specific areas. The collar’s gentle feedback helps reinforce this behavior, making training more effective and stress-free.
5. Activity Monitoring
In addition to safety, the Halo Dog Collar tracks your dog’s activity, including steps, distance traveled, and calories burned. This data helps you ensure your dog is getting enough exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Tips for Maximizing the Use of Your Virtual GPS Fence
To get the most out of your Halo Dog Collar’s virtual GPS fence, consider these tips:
1. Regularly Update the Fence
As you and your dog’s needs change, don’t hesitate to update or create new fences. Whether you move to a new home or your dog’s play area changes, the app allows you to easily adapt the virtual boundaries.
2. Use Multiple Fences
Take advantage of the app’s ability to create multiple fences. Set up different boundaries for various activities, such as a walking route, a play zone, or a rest area. This ensures your dog is always within a safe zone, no matter what they’re doing.
3. Combine with Other Training Tools
The Halo Dog Collar offers other training features, such as sound and vibration feedback. Combine these with the GPS fence to reinforce positive behavior, helping your dog learn and adapt to boundaries faster.
4. Keep the Collar Charged
