If you're looking for the best GPS wireless dog fence with a fast set-up time that doesn't need hours of digging and reading through confusing technical manuals, the My Pet Command Wireless 2 in 1 GPS Dog Fence with remote and positive training collar sets up safe zones for your dogs in minutes via the free My Pet Command App.
As a pet parent, your most important job is to keep your dog safe. This isn't easy if you have a large property or farm without fencing.
My Pet Command GPS Wireless Dog Fence with app, remote, and collar features three modes, including vibration mode, and is among the best ways to give your pup the freedom he needs while keeping him safe 24/7. Here's the takeaway:
Is a GPS Wireless Dog Fence With an App Good for Acreage?
Yes, if you have enough space. The My Pet Command GPS wireless dog fence with app is designed for acreage and large outdoor properties (minimum ¾-acre property with a ½-acre fence area).
You create a 6-sided or circular boundary in the My Pet Command app using Google Maps, then save it to the collar via Bluetooth so it can work outdoors without keeping the app open.
Training typically starts with tone and vibration (with optional correction available, and shock can be disabled) to help your dog learn the boundary safely and consistently.
Why Pet Parents Choose a GPS Wireless Dog Fence With an App
At My Pet Command, we recommend our GPS electronic, portable pet containment systems with no subscription, which are veterinarian-backed and save millions of lives each year through invisible protective fencing.
Wireless dog fences are an invaluable investment because they offer ease of use, no subscription fees, and 24/7 safety for your pup.
What Is a GPS Wireless Dog Fence?
A GPS virtual fence creates a virtual boundary using satellite positioning. It relies on GPS signals to keep your furbaby within safe zones on your property.
How a GPS Dog Collar Fence Creates Virtual Boundaries
You set the safe zone in an app, and the collar alerts your dog as they approach the customizable boundary edge, usually with a tone and vibration, and sometimes with optional shock correction for introductory training.
The My Pet Command Wireless Dog Fence uses GPS technology to ensure your pet's safety at all times. The custom 6-sided GPS dog fence/polygon GPS fence can also be used for circular boundaries, depending on terrain.
Rugged, Waterproof Collar Built for Outdoor Use
Most dogs enjoy swimming and running through mud. The My Pet Command e-collar is a remote dog training collar that lets your pup do just that.
Its rugged, adventure-ready dog collar is crafted for easy adjustment, from small to large dogs, fits pets comfortably, and features a durable, waterproof, IPX67 design.
Training Modes Options: Tone, Vibration, and Optional Static Correction
The benefits of the My Pet Command Wireless GPS dog fence with collar and remote are that it offers the following:
-
Training Modes Options: Tone, vibration, static correction available; shock can be disabled.
-
Manual training remote supports two radio channels (pair two collars or more to 1 remote) for multi-pet homes.
How GPS fences work
With MPCGPS4, you set 6-sided or circular boundaries in the My Pet Command My Pet Fence app using Google Maps, then save the map to the collar via Bluetooth.
The collar is designed to work independently of the app once saved (and it is not intended for online tracking). When your dog approaches the invisible boundary, the collar triggers an alert, teaching your dog where the safe zone is.
Think of it as drawing a "do-not-cross" line on a digital map, then teaching your dog what that line means.
The Typical GPS Fence Workflow (App, Pairing, Training)
Most GPS fence workflows look like this:
-
Pair and connect the collar via Bluetooth to your App/Phone
-
Define a boundary in the app using Google Maps. Boundaries are transferred and saved into the collar memory
-
Check and test your Boundary, and train your dog to respond to warning alerts near the boundary
-
Safe and gentle correction for dogs of all sizes via vibration mode
What affects GPS accuracy and reliability
My Pet Command's GPS fence lets you rework boundaries with a longer-lasting battery designed for outdoor use. The free My Pet Command app offers multiple correction modes for customized training.
This technology benefits large cattle and equine property owners in rural areas who need safe containment for their pets while still encouraging natural behaviors such as running and exploring. That said, extreme weather conditions like snow and heavy rain may cause slight GPS inaccuracies.
Factors That Can Influence GPS Fence Performance
Practical factors that can influence performance include:
-
Dense tree canopy
-
Steep terrain or ravines
-
Buildings, metal structures, and some rooflines
-
Stormy conditions and heavy cloud cover (varies)
Minimum Property Size and Coverage Area for Large Outdoor Spaces
Our newest and most accurate My Pet Command GPS Wireless Dog Fence offers the safest customizable boundaries for large outdoor areas. It requires a minimum of ¾ acre (a ½-acre fence area) and covers up to 3,533 acres (1,430 hectares).
Most other GPS brands require a subscription. The collar "works fully independent of the app" after saving boundaries, but it's not for online tracking.

How the MPCGPS4 Setup Works (Google Maps + Save to Collar)
One of the most significant advantages of an app-based GPS fence is speed. When properly maintained and set up, virtual dog fences use satellite technology and humane training tools to help your four-legged best friends learn their boundaries through tone and vibration modes.
Step-by-Step MPCGPS4 Setup (Google Maps + Bluetooth)
The MPCGPS4 workflow is straightforward:
-
Set your boundary in the app using Google Maps.
-
Connect to the collar via Bluetooth.
-
Save the map to the collar's memory.
After that, the collar can work outdoors without requiring the app to remain open, which is useful when you want your dog to enjoy the yard, not your phone.
6-Sided vs Circular Boundaries: Which One Should You Use?
Think of this as choosing between two "shapes of safety." Geofencing for dogs is a viable solution even if your property has uneven terrain or if your HOA has rules that apply to physical fencing. Both circular and six-sided boundaries offer GPS accuracy and reliability.
When Circular Boundaries Make Sense
Circular boundaries are a good option for the following:
-
You want a simple zone around a home, cabin, or campsite-style setup
-
Your property is wide open and doesn't need tight angles
When 6-Sided Boundaries Are a Better Fit
6-sided boundaries are functional when:
-
Your property line is irregular
-
You want to fence around a driveway, barn, pond, or garden
-
You want the safe zone to match real-world landmarks
MPCGPS4 supports both, which gives you more control over how your dog experiences the space.
Outdoor Containment With Indoor Freedom
MPCGPS4 is designed for outdoor containment only. When your four-legged best friend is indoors, the collar is automatically deactivated.
When using humane vibration mode alongside recall training, you can safely teach your dogs their boundaries. By turning off the static shock mode, which can be painful and cause unnecessary stress.
Multi-Dog Support for Homes With More Than One Pet
My Pet Command allows you to add multiple dogs to the app. The manual training remote also has two separate radio channels, allowing you to pair two collars to one remote.
Does a GPS wireless dog fence work without WiFi?
Yes. A GPS-enabled wireless dog fence uses satellite signals to monitor the outdoor boundaries. The app is mainly used to set up and save boundaries and adjust settings, but the collar is designed to function outside once the boundary is saved.
Is this GPS wireless dog fence good for small yards?
This system is built for acreage. It requires a minimum ¾-acre property (with a ½-acre fence area minimum), so it’s not ideal for small yards where boundaries are tight, and GPS signal variation is more noticeable.
How do 6-sided boundaries compare to circular boundaries?
Circular boundaries are best for simple, open spaces where you want a quick “safe zone” around a home or central area. 6-sided boundaries are better when your property has an irregular layout or when you want to shape the boundary around real landmarks such as a driveway, pond, barn, or garden.
How long does it take to set up the MPCGPS4 system?
Setup is designed to be quick. You set the boundary in the app using Google Maps, connect the collar via Bluetooth, and save the boundary to the collar’s memory. After that, the collar can operate outdoors without requiring the app to remain open constantly.
Which training modes are included, and can shock be disabled?
Training modes include tone, vibration, and optional static correction. Shock can be disabled, and many pet parents start with tone and vibration while teaching boundary awareness and recall.
What affects GPS accuracy and reliability?
Performance can vary with environmental factors such as dense tree canopies, steep terrain, nearby buildings or metal structures, and heavy storms. For best results, test the system outdoors with clear satellite visibility and avoid setting boundaries too close to hazards.
Will the collar correct my dog indoors?
No. This GPS fence is designed for outdoor use only. When indoors, the collar disconnects from satellites to reduce the chance of false corrections, allowing your dog to move freely inside the home.
Can I use this system for multiple dogs?
Yes. You can add multiple dogs in the app. The manual training remote also has two radio channels, allowing you to pair two collars to one remote.
Is this system used for live GPS tracking?
No. It’s intended for boundary containment rather than online tracking. Boundaries are saved to the collar, and the collar operates independently outdoors after setup.
