Heel virtual dog leash™
The Best E-Collar for Hiking Off Leash
True freedom of off-leash hiking, with an automatic safety net that never fails.
Just set the distance and go!
The Heel Roam 350™ E-Collar creates an invisible boundary around you that moves as you move—automatically keeping your dog within an adjustable range (from 10 to 750ft) hands-free, without constant commands or manual corrections.
Manual correction buttons (tone, vibrate, static) are always available to allow for instant recall at any time for an added measure of safety.
A Safer Off Leash Hiking Experience
Heel's automatic boundaries keep your dog in range hands-free, while manual correction gives you instant control anytime you need it—whether encountering wildlife, other hikers, or steep drop-offs on the trail.
Easier Off Leash Control While Hiking
Focus on the trail, not your dog. Heel's hands-free correction works automatically as you hike, keeping your pup close without constant commands—so you can enjoy the views, navigate terrain, and capture those epic photos worry-free.

"Best Dog Gear of 2025"
MEN'S JOURNAL
"Invisible fences / GPS point fences are all well and good. But as soon as you hit the trail, you need either a physical leash or an e-collar to keep your dog close by. The Heel Roam 350 solved the problem."

Common Questions from Hikers
Will Heel™ work in remote backcountry where there's no cell service?
Yes! Unlike GPS e-collars that need satellite or cellular signal, Heel™ uses direct proximity sensing between the remote and collar. It works great in deep canyons, dense forests, and remote wilderness—anywhere you can hike, Heel™ works.
How does the moving boundary work while hiking?
Heel™ creates a customizable radius (10-750ft) that moves with you as you hike. Your dog can roam freely within that distance, and Heel™ automatically corrects them when they reach the edge—no matter how fast you're moving or how far you go on the trail.
Can I keep my hands free for trekking poles?
Absolutely. Heel's AUTOPROX technology works hands-free—your dog stays close automatically without you needing to hold a remote or give commands. Keep your hands free for poles, scrambling, or taking photos while Heel™ handles the boundaries for you.
What happens if my dog sees a deer or squirrel on the trail?
Heel's automatic boundary prevents wildlife chases before they start. If your dog is in a bolt, Heel™ activates an early warning tone / correction pattern to encourage your dog to stay within the boundary, to redirect them back to you—stopping the chase instinct in its tracks.

@taylorjbodinIs it waterproof for river crossings and rain?
Yes, the Roam 350™ Waterproof collar is IP67 rated—fully submersible and built for wet conditions. Cross streams, hike in rain, or let your dog swim without worry. The collar is trail-ready for any weather.
Do I need to set up geofences before each hike?
No setup required. Unlike GPS fences that need geofencing for each location, Heel™ works instantly wherever you are. Just turn it on, choose your distance setting, and start hiking—the boundary moves with you automatically.
