Pet Tech F860 Smart GPS Dog Fence
Pet Tech F860 Smart GPS Dog Fence
The Pet Tech F860 Smart GPS Dog Fence is a wireless dog fence you draw to the shape of your property. Most GPS dog fences only give you a circle around a centre point. With the F860 you set the boundary on a map in the Petdiary app, corner by corner, so it follows your block, paddock or campsite.
There's no wire to bury, no transmitter box and no subscription. Once your fence is saved, the collar runs on satellite GPS by itself, so it works on rural properties without Wi-Fi or mobile coverage.
As your dog nears the boundary, the collar beeps and flashes red about 3 metres before the line so they can turn back. If they cross it, the collar steps up through 5 correction levels in the mode you choose, and stops the moment your dog is back inside. If your dog stays out, it pauses for a minute and runs one more round, then switches to sound only for up to 30 minutes, then light only. It never corrects non-stop.
- Custom boundary shapes with up to 8 corners, or a circle from a 25 m radius
- Save up to 10 fences (home, farm, campsite) and switch between them in the app
- No wire, transmitter, SIM card or subscription
- Works without Wi-Fi or mobile signal once the fence is set
- GPS position usually accurate to within 3 to 5 metres, depending on your site
- Best for acreage, farms and bush blocks of about 3/4 acre or more
- Three ways to warn: progressive, a fixed mix of beep, vibration and static, or manual training from your phone
- Daily activity, distance and alert counts in the app
- IP67 water resistant
- USB-C charging in 2.5 to 3 hours, up to 19 hours of active use per charge
- For medium and large dogs from 7 kg, neck size 30 to 64 cm
Outdoor use only. GPS needs a clear view of the sky, so the fence won't work the same way under a roof. Take the collar off or turn the fence off in the app when your dog comes inside.
In the box: F860 collar, USB-C charging cable, test light, contact points, 10 boundary flags, user manual, quick training tips card and app invitation card.

Your fence line. Not a circle.
Most GPS dog fences give you one shape: a circle around a centre point. Real blocks aren't round. With the F860 you draw your boundary on a map in the app, corner by corner, so it follows your block, paddock or campsite.
See the difference on a real-shaped block
This block is long and L-shaped, like plenty of Aussie properties. Switch between the F860's custom shape and a standard circle fence.

Let the collar do the rest
Once it's set, the collar runs on satellite GPS by itself. No Wi-Fi or mobile coverage needed, which suits rural and remote spots.
Warns first. Stops when they're back. Never corrects non-stop.
Your dog gets a beep before any correction, and the collar stops the moment they step back inside. If they stay out, it steps down, not up.
Early warning
About 3 m (9 ft) before the line, the collar beeps and flashes red so your dog can turn back.
Progressive correction
Over the line, it steps up through 5 levels in your chosen mode. It stops the moment they step back in.
1-minute pause
Then a pause. Still outside after a minute? One more progressive round.
Sound only
After two rounds there's no more static or vibration. Audio warnings only, for up to 30 minutes.
Light only
After 30 minutes, all alerts stop and only the red light flashes, so you can spot them.
Home, farm or weekend away
Set the fence wherever your dog needs one.
Pick how your dog is warned
Every dog is different. Choose what works for yours in the app.
- Progressive: steps up automatically, beep first
- Fixed mix: your own combination of beep, vibration and static
- Manual training: send a beep, vibration or static from your phone
- Adjustable tone, vibration and static levels
See your dog's day
The app logs daily activity, distance and how often the boundary alerts went off, so you can see how training is going.
- Daily activity and distance
- Count of sound, vibration and static alerts
- Work log by day
Rain, creeks and USB-C
IP67 rated for rain, splashes and a swim. Charges with a standard USB-C cable from a wall plug, laptop or power bank.
- IP67 water resistance
- USB-C charging

Indoors works differently
The F860 is an outdoor fence. GPS needs a clear view of the sky, so under a roof it won't work the same way it does in the yard.
- If your house is close to the boundary line, take the collar off when your dog comes in
- Or switch the fence off in the app while they're inside
- Turn it back on when they head outside

Questions before you buy
Does it work inside the house?
Not the same way it does outside. GPS needs a clear view of the sky, so the fence is built for outdoor use. If your house sits close to the boundary, take the collar off when your dog comes inside, or turn the fence off in the app, to avoid false alerts.
Do I need Wi-Fi or mobile reception?
Only your phone and Bluetooth are needed to set things up. Once the fence is saved, the collar runs on satellite GPS by itself, so it works on rural properties without coverage.
How big can the boundary be?
There's no fixed maximum: draw the shape you need on the map, up to 8 corners. Circular fences start at a 25 m radius. For the best results we recommend an area of about 3/4 acre (roughly 3,000 m²) or more. GPS position is usually accurate to within 3 to 5 metres, depending on your site, so leave some room between the line and anything you need to keep your dog away from.
Will it keep correcting if my dog won't come back?
No. After two progressive rounds with a 1-minute pause between them, static and vibration stop. It then beeps only, for up to 30 minutes, then stops all alerts and just flashes a red light. It resets as soon as your dog is back inside.
Can I save more than one fence?
Yes. The app saves up to 10 fences, for example home, the farm and a favourite campsite. One fence is active at a time, and you switch between them in the app.
Which app does it use?
The Petdiary app. You use it to pair the collar, draw and save fences, choose correction settings, train manually and see your dog's activity.
Can I use it without static correction?
Yes. You can choose beep and vibration only, or beep only, in the app.
What size dog is it for?
Medium and large dogs from 7 kg, with a neck of 30 to 64 cm. The collar unit weighs 143 g.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 19 hours of active use per charge. If it's on for 6 hours a day, that's about 3 days between charges. A full charge takes 2.5 to 3 hours over USB-C.
What's in the box?
F860 collar, USB-C charging cable, test light, a set of contact points, 10 boundary flags, user manual, quick training tips card and app invitation card.
