Heel virtual dog leash™
The Best E-Collar for Running Off Leash
True freedom of off-leash running, with automatic control that keeps up with every stride.
Just set the distance and go!
The Heel Roam 350™ creates an invisible boundary around you that moves with you as you run — automatically keeping your dog within an adjustable range (from 10 to 750ft) hands-free.
Manual correction buttons (tone, vibrate, static) are at the ready for instant recall the moment you need it — so you can run faster, farther, and with complete peace of mind.
A Safer Off Leash Running 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 runners, or busy trail intersections mid-stride.
Easier Off Leash Control While Running
The best runs are the ones you share. Heel's hands-free correction works automatically as you move, keeping your pup close without constant commands—so you can find your pace, watch your footing, and enjoy every mile together.
Subscription Free Boundaries Anywhere
Run trails where traditional GPS e-collars fail. No cellular or satellite signal needed—Heel™ works in dense forests, remote paths, and deep canyon trails. Run anywhere, anytime, with reliable, automatic off-leash control.
Your Dog Stays Close - You Never Have to Stop
Focus on the trail, and let Heel™ focus on your dog. Heel's AUTOPROX™ technology automatically corrects your dog the moment they stray too far — hands-free, no button pressing, no shouting commands mid-stride.
An E-Collar For Running That Finally Keeps Up
Every other solution — waist leashes, retractables, basic e-collars — makes you manage your dog instead of your run. Heel's moving boundary stays centered on you automatically, so your dog runs free and you run uninterrupted.
Give Your Dog A Natural Off-Leash Experience
With a leash, every bathroom break or curious sniff means stopping your run entirely. With Heel™, your dog can explore the trail through his nose while you keep your heart rate up.
Zero Setup - Turn On The Boundary and Go
Unlike GPS collars that require geofencing a new location every time, Heel™ turns on and works instantly wherever you are. Set your distance and go — no app, no signal, no prep.

"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."
"Lifesaver"
ACTIVE GEAR REVIEW
"The Roam dog collar has truly revolutionized our outdoor adventures. It's definitely one of the best purchases I've made for my furry companion."
"She was running her pace, and I was at mine — sometimes ahead, sometimes shortly behind. We went 2 miles total off leash on this run."
Believe In The Run
"She was happy to run before, but is so much happier being able to roam and run in her own natural way with me. This ease of tension will bring more confidence and trust in our relationship, and it’s all thanks to the Heel Virtual Leash."
No More Leash Tripping Hazards Mid-Stride
Tangled leashes, sudden jolts, broken pace — gone. Your dog runs free alongside you while Heel's automatic boundary keeps them close and removes the leash tripping hazard completely, so you keep your rhythm and both hands (and feet) free from start to finish.
Stop Wildlife Chases Before They Start
Deer, squirrels, and other trail distractions don't stand a chance. Heel's automatic boundary keeps your dog focused on the run—not the chase—so you can relax and enjoy nature together.
Works Where GPS E-Collars Can't
Remote trails, dense tree cover, canyon runs — Heel™ works everywhere without cellular or satellite signal. Wherever your route takes you, your off-leash control comes with you.
Run Longer, Worry Less
Your dog gets the freedom to run the way they were made to — exploring, sprinting, and covering ground — while you stay locked into your pace. Heel™ handles the boundaries so you can focus on the miles, the trail, and the run you actually came for.

Common Questions from Runners
Will Heel™ work on remote trails 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 on canyon trails, in dense forests, and deep in the backcountry — anywhere your route takes you, Heel™ works.
How does the moving boundary work while running?
Heel™ creates a customizable radius (10-750ft) that moves with you as you run. Your dog can roam freely within that distance, and Heel™ automatically corrects them when they reach the edge — whether you're sprinting a downhill, navigating switchbacks, or cruising a flat trail.
Do I have to hold the remote while I run?
No. Heel's AUTOPROX™ technology works completely hands-free — your dog stays in range automatically without you holding the remote or shouting commands mid-stride.
What happens if my dog bolts after a squirrel or deer mid-run?
Heel's automatic boundary stops wildlife chases before they derail your run. The moment your dog pushes toward the boundary, an early warning tone alerts your dog automatically — redirecting them back to you before the chase instinct takes over and your run comes to a halt.

@taylorjbodinIs it waterproof for stream crossings and rainy runs?
Yes, the Roam 350™ Waterproof collar is IP67 rated — fully submersible and built for wet conditions. Cross streams, run in the rain, or let your dog splash without a second thought. Built for whatever the trail throws at you.
Do I need to set anything up before each run?
Zero setup. Unlike GPS collars that require geofencing a new location every time, Heel™ works instantly wherever you are. Turn it on, set your distance, and run — the boundary moves with you from the first stride to the last.
Will it keep up if my dog runs faster than me?
Absolutely. Heel™ measures the distance between collar and remote in real time, keeping the boundary centered on you no matter how fast you're moving. Your dog can sprint ahead, loop back, and explore freely — Heel™ only steps in when they push past your set range.
Can I use it on both road and trail runs?
Yes. Heel™ works on any surface, any terrain, any route. Pavement, gravel, singletrack, open fields — there's no setup or adjustment needed when you switch between surfaces. Just set your distance and go.
