"Invisible fences, whether they’re the ones you bury in the ground or GPS point fences you set up around your property, 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."

"Off-Grid Capability"
"What sets the Heel Roam apart from other marketed e-collars is that it has off-grid capability (there’s no subscription required, no app to download, and no need for GPS or data connection!) and it has five boundary settings using AUTOPROX technology so you can control the distance your dog can wander, choosing from 10, 25, 75, 150, and 750 feet."

"Best Pet Travel Accessories"
"This virtual dog leash from Heel allows you to set up a “virtual perimeter” wherever you travel. If your pet wanders outside the boundary, the collar sets off a warning tone and then a vibration or static correction (owners can choose). The single remote works with up to three collars, so you can use one system for up to three dogs."
