    about static correction

  • Training

    1. Recognize the tones

    • With your dog on a leash, walk to various spots along the fence boundary from within the containment area.
    • When you hear the alert tone, playfully encourage your dog to return.
    • Practice for 10–15 minutes daily over several days.

    2. How to set static correction

    • Connect to the Collar using the app and set Static Correction to Level 5 out of 30.
    • Practice near the boundary to help your dog recognize the tones.
    • If needed, apply a static correction to guide your dog back.
    • Reward your dog each time they return.
    • Adjust the correction level as needed, and continue this training for 10 minutes per session over 2–3 days until your dog learns the boundary.
    • If you prefer not to use Static Correction, use Vibration instead.

    3. Proof-test the boundary with a distraction

    • Introduce distractions to ensure your dog understands the boundary.
    • For example, have another person stand outside the fence boundary as a distraction.
    • Reward your dog if they respond to the alert tone and return to the safe area.
    • Allow your dog to approach the boundary, and use the leash to guide them back if needed.

    4. Observe and adjust as needed

    • Once your dog is familiar with the boundary, you can let them off the leash and spend time together outside as they adjust to the GPS fence.
    • When you and your dog are comfortable, enjoy time together off-leash!
    • Monitor your dog off-leash near the boundary for a few days.
    • If your dog escapes more than once a week, repeat the boundary recognition training.

  • Why should I use a GPS collar compared to a traditional fence?

    ① Portable & Affordable – Take it anywhere without expensive installation.
    ② No Terrain Limits – Works in open fields, wooded areas, and uneven landscapes.
    ③ No Digging, No Wires – Set up virtual boundaries through the app without physical fencing.

    A GPS collar helps keep your pet safe by tracking their location in real-time, setting virtual fences, and providing escape alerts. Whether for training, hiking, or everyday safety, it gives peace of mind.

  • Will the SATELLAI collar work for me?

    The SATELLAI Collar is designed for most dog breeds and sizes. It works best in areas with clear GPS reception, such as open fields, parks, and suburban areas. It supports areas ranging from 0.5 acre to 100,000 acres for maximum flexibility, making it suitable for both small yards and large properties.

  • How accurate is the SATELLAI collar?

    The collar uses advanced GPS technology for precise tracking, typically within 3-5 feet in open areas. However, accuracy can vary based on terrain, weather, and nearby obstructions like tall buildings or dense forests.

    ① World's First: Dual Antennas & Dual-Frequency – Ensures superior accuracy compared to single-frequency collars.
    ② 5 Major Global Navigation Satellite Systems – Uses GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS for maximum reliability.
    ③ Coverage in 180 Countries – Works worldwide, making it ideal for travelers and remote locations.

  • Can I set up virtual boundaries with this collar?
    Yes, you can create unlimited virtual fences using the SATELLAI app. If your dog crosses a boundary, the collar will trigger an alert and use training cues (such as tones, vibrations, or static correction) to guide them back.
  • What is the difference between GPS and cellular connectivity?

    ① GPS (Global Positioning System) determines the collar’s location using satellites.
    ② Cellular connectivity is used to transmit that location data to your smartphone app. Without cellular coverage, the collar may still log location data but won’t update the app in real time.

  • Do I need cellular service for the collar to work?
    Yes, cellular service is required for real-time tracking and alerts. The collar uses GPS for location tracking and cellular networks to send data to your mobile app. If there is no cellular coverage, live tracking may not be available, but offline location history can still be accessed later.
  • How long does the battery last? How long does it take to charge?

    The SATELLAI Collar offers an exceptional battery life of up to 120 hours, compared to most brands that last only 25-30 hours. It also features magnetic fast charging, allowing it to fully charge in just 2 hours for maximum convenience.

  • Is the SATELLAI collar waterproof? Can it be used in rain, snow, or while swimming?

    Yes, the SATELLAI collar is IP68 waterproof and dustproof, making it suitable for use in rain, snow, and even swimming.

  • What training modes does the collar offer?
    The collar supports multiple training feedback options, including: Tone alerts (encouragement and recall commands) Vibration feedback (low, medium, high) Static correction (adjustable levels, optional)
  • Does the collar require a Telecom Plan or ongoing fees?

    Yes, a Telecom Plan is required for real-time tracking, escape alerts, and location history. Pricing varies depending on the plan you choose.

  • How durable is the collar? Can it withstand rough use?
    The collar is designed for active dogs and built with high-quality, impact-resistant materials. It is suitable for rough terrain, outdoor adventures, and daily wear.
  • What are the available payment and financing options?
    We offer multiple payment methods, including credit/debit cards, PayPal, and installment plans. We also support Afterpay, Klarna, and other financing options to make purchasing easier and more flexible.

How the Collar Works

  • What is a GPS dog fence collar? How does it safely keep my dog within the fence?
    A dog GPS fence collar is a smart wearable device that helps keep your dog within a safe area without the need for a physical fence, like SATELLAI. It connects to an app so you can track your dog’s location in real time. SATELLAI uses GPS technology to create virtual boundaries, known as geofences. After a training period, your dog can learn to recognize these boundaries. When your dog approaches or crosses them, the collar sends warning signals,such as tone, vibration, or gentle static correction to guide them back inside the safe zone. SATELLAI provides a flexible, humane way to keep your dog safe off-leash, giving both you and your pet more freedom and peace of mind.
  • Is it safe for my dog to wear a smart collar?
    Yes, it is safe for your dog to wear a smart collar when used properly. The STELLAI Collar is designed with your pet’s comfort and safety in mind. It is typically lightweight, adjustable, and the strap is made of food-grade silicone material.
  • Does the SATELLAI Collar require a cellular signal to work?
    Yes. The cellular signal is required to using the SATELLAI Collar. Please make sure there is a stable 4G signal in your area for proper functionality.
  • How long does it take to set up the SATELLAI Collar?
    It may take about 10 mins to set up the SATELLAI Collar.
    • Measure your dog's neck with a tape measure or by using a string along with a ruler. Please make sure to leave room for 2 fingers to fit between your dog's neck and the collar.
    • Download the SATELLAI app and register or login to your account.
    • Add your pet's info, including three photos, breed, birthday, and gender.
    • Add your SATELLAI Collar to the app. (Make sure your collar is fully charged first.)
  • How can I set up a GPS fence for my dog?
    You can set up the GPS fences for your dog via the SATELLAI app on your phone.
    • Press the "Fence" tab on the "Pet" page in the SATELLAI App.
    • Choose "Add Fence".
    • Choose the fence set-up method you prefer: simple fence or complex fence.
     
    Simple Fence:
    A simple fence lets you create an adjustable circular boundary, initially centered around your mobile device, which can be repositioned and resized. You can easily set the fence location by moving and zooming on the map or by searching for an address. After establishing the size and position of your fence, just press the "Done" button and then enter a name for it in the pop-up box. Once you press the "Save" button, your new fence is locked in. From here, you can find it on the list of fences and you'll be able to turn it on.
     
     
     
    Complex Fence:
    You can set your fence by moving and zooming the map. Once it's in position, tap “Done” to adjust the fence shape by dragging existing posts. To save it, tap “Done” again, enter a name for the fence, and press “Save.”
     
     
    Select the "Add Zone" option to create a new, initially square-shaped area within the original fence. This no-go zone helps prevent your dog from approaching areas you'd like them to avoid.
  • What types of feedback does the collar provide for my dog?

    There are three alert types: tone, vibration, and static correction.You can customize the alert types on your SATELLAI collar through the app by following these steps:

    • On the "Me" page, tap "collar settings". You can set the correction functions for the fence, the beacon, and remote feedback (which is listed in the app under "Others").
    • You can adjust the tone volume, vibration intensity, or enable static correction in the following three situations to alert your pet.
  • Does the SATELLAI Collar use static correction? Can static correction hurt my dog?
    The static correction is a mild, harmless electric stimulation delivered by a collarto attract your dog's immediate attention. It doesn't hurt your doga and it is optional. If you want to use static correction, you need to install the two sets of static contact points in the box.
  • What happens if my dog escapes the fence?
    When your dog gets within 16 to 17 feet (5 meters) of the boundary, the SATELLAI Collar will deliver a correction and you'll recieve a notification.
    If your dog goes outside of the fence and stays within 110 yards of it (100 meters), it will receive continuous correction after going through the boundary and you'll receive a single notification.
