Our Favorite Things: SpotOn GPS Dog Fence
A Smarter Way to Protect What You Love
At Gowler Homes, we’re always thinking about how people live in the homes we build. It’s not just about beautiful finishes or thoughtful layouts—it’s about creating spaces where families feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home, inside and out. And for so many of us, that family includes a dog. Our pets aren’t just animals—they’re part of our everyday routines, our memories, and the heart of our home. The SpotOn Virtual Fence has been one of those game-changing additions for our own family, and it’s become something we truly love—and believe other families will too.
Freedom Without the Fence
What makes the SpotOn Virtual Fence so compelling is how effortlessly it replaces the need for a traditional fence. There’s no trenching, no wires, and no visible structure—just a lightweight GPS-enabled collar and a smartphone app. You can walk the perimeter of your property to set the boundaries or draw them digitally right from your phone.
From a design standpoint, this is huge. As builders, we know how carefully planned each corner of a yard or estate can be—from native plantings to custom water features to architectural sightlines. SpotOn lets you preserve the beauty and flow of your property while still creating a safe space for your pet to roam. There’s no compromise between form and function here.
Built for High-End Homes and Modern Lifestyles
SpotOn’s flexibility is what makes it such a smart fit for luxury living. It doesn’t matter if you’re on a tight suburban lot or managing acres of open land—it scales beautifully. You can set up multiple zones, create “keep-out” areas around your pool or landscaping, and even move the virtual fence when you’re traveling or at a second home.
That adaptability is perfect for families who split time between homes or love to bring their dogs along to new places. With SpotOn, your dog’s sense of safety and freedom travels with you—no need to constantly adapt to unfamiliar surroundings or risk letting them off-leash in unknown areas.
It’s also ideal for homeowners who might be considering fencing but haven’t found a solution that fits the character of their home. With SpotOn, you get the control and safety of a fence without any of the disruption to your view or your vision.
Smart Technology You Can Trust
The technology behind SpotOn is as impressive as its design. The collar uses GPS and connects to over 120 satellites to create precise, real-time boundaries—no cell service or Wi-Fi required for basic use. For those who want even more features, like remote tracking and real-time alerts, you can opt for a cellular plan.
We’ve seen firsthand how well it works. Even in areas where traditional GPS might struggle—like wooded lots or hilly terrain—SpotOn’s True Location™ technology stays accurate and reliable. For homeowners who take security seriously, especially when it comes to beloved pets, this kind of precision is priceless.
Service That Mirrors What We Believe In
One of the things we appreciate most about SpotOn is their commitment to customer experience. It’s a U.S.-based company with support teams and training specialists who truly care about helping people succeed with the product. They offer a 90-day money-back guarantee, a full one-year warranty, and they even include one-on-one training for setup and use.
That kind of thoughtfulness goes a long way. As builders, we’ve learned that great products only matter if the people behind them stand by their quality—and SpotOn absolutely does. It feels like working with a brand that shares our values of craftsmanship, reliability, and personal connection.
How We Use It in Our Own Lives
We wouldn’t recommend this product if we didn’t use it ourselves. Our own dog, Oakley, has been using the SpotOn system, and it’s completely changed the way we approach life at home. He can safely roam, run, and explore, and we can relax knowing he’s exactly where he should be.
It’s also been wonderful to have when we visit friends or travel—within minutes, we can set up a boundary and give Oakley the freedom he loves while keeping him protected. It’s become part of our routine, and honestly, we can’t imagine going back.
A Perfect Match for Luxury Living
In every home we build, we’re helping our clients create a place that reflects who they are. The SpotOn Virtual Fence fits right into that vision—offering cutting-edge technology, elegant design compatibility, and peace of mind, all wrapped into one product.
If you’ve been searching for a way to let your dog enjoy the outdoors while preserving the integrity of your home’s design, this may be just the solution. It’s one of our favorite things for a reason, and we think you’ll love it just as much as we do.
