Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: How accurate is the GPS boundary on the PawGuard™ 850 in real-world Irish conditions?
The PawGuard™ 850 GPS collar achieves positioning accuracy of ±2–5 metres under open sky conditions, which is typical for standard GPS receivers. On large Irish farms and estates, this level of accuracy is highly effective. In areas with dense tree cover (e.g., plantation forests in Wicklow or Leitrim), GPS accuracy may reduce slightly. PawGuard™ recommends setting a boundary buffer zone of at least 5–10 metres from any hazardous area to account for normal GPS variation.
Q2: Can I draw an irregular boundary that avoids roads or ditches on my Irish farm?
No. The PawGuard™ 850 uses a circular boundary and does not support custom irregular or polygon-shaped boundaries. The coverage area is created as a round perimeter around a selected centre point, so roads, ditches, or other features cannot be excluded using a custom-shaped boundary.
Q3: Does the 850 GPS system work in remote rural areas of Ireland with poor mobile coverage?
The PawGuard™ 850 collar uses GPS satellites for boundary positioning, which works independently of mobile coverage.
Q4: Does the PawGuard™ 850 require a monthly subscription for GPS tracking?
The PawGuard™ 850 is a GPS dog fence system designed to create a wireless containment boundary for your dog. It does not include GPS tracking functionality and does not require any subscription or ongoing fees to operate.
Q5: How does the 850 collar warn my dog before delivering a correction at the boundary?
The PawGuard™ 850 collar uses a two-stage protection system to help keep your dog within the designated boundary. When your dog enters the Warning Zone, located 5 yards inside the set boundary, the collar emits a beep to provide an early reminder. If your dog turns back, no further action is taken. If your dog continues past the warning zone and into the Correction Zone, the collar will apply the selected vibration or static correction based on the chosen mode and settings.
Q6: Can I use the 850 GPS fence on a working Irish farm with livestock present?
Yes. The PawGuard™ 850 GPS system is designed for large-property use including Irish working farms with livestock. The custom boundary feature means you can create separate safe zones for your dog that keep them away from livestock areas, laneways, or machinery yards. PawGuard™ recommends supervising initial boundary training sessions on active farms to ensure your dog learns the zones correctly.
Q7: How long does the 850 GPS collar battery last on a full charge?
The PawGuard™ 850 collar delivers up to 24 hours of continuous operation on a full charge, providing reliable all-day protection for your dog.
Q8: Is the 850 GPS collar waterproof enough for Irish farm conditions?
Yes. The PawGuard™ 850 collar is rated IPX7 waterproof, allowing it to withstand rain, wet grass, puddles, and other everyday outdoor conditions. Its durable waterproof design helps ensure reliable performance in all weather conditions.
Q9: Can I monitor multiple dogs' locations simultaneously with the 850 app?
No. The PawGuard™ 850 does not support app connectivity. Each collar is designed for use with one dog only.
Q10: What happens if my dog's GPS collar loses satellite signal temporarily?
When the PawGuard™ 850 GPS collar temporarily loses satellite signal, its warning and correction functions automatically shut down to prevent false triggers. The warning function is disabled when GPS signal strength drops below 2 bars and automatically resumes once the signal is restored. As an added safety feature, no vibration or static correction will be activated while GPS signal is lost, even if your dog moves outside the boundary.
