"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
How does Heel's proximity mode differ from Bluetooth E-Collars?
This is the most important distinction between Heel™ and other brands.
Heel's proximity mode uses AUTOPROX™, our proprietary dual frequency, wireless algorithm, creating the most accurate and reliable boundary.
The accuracy comes from the Ultra-wideband Radio, giving the most accurate wireless distance measurement possible.
The reliability comes from the Long Range, Low Frequency Radio, ensuring a strong, 2-way connection through bodies, vegetation, and terrain.
Bluetooth-only proximity collars are very susceptible to connection drops and interference, making them unreliable.
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 on the move?
Heel™ creates a customizable radius (10-750ft) that moves with you as you move. 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, cameras, bike handles?
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 I head out?
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.
