Set a circular boundary around the remote, keeping your dogs as close to you as just a few feet, or as far as 2 miles away. With the Border Patrol, you can see them on the screen, and always know where they are. Portable to take anywhere, and can even be used in your home to create a pet containment boundary that keeps them in the yard.
The Border Patrol TC1 is a containment fence system, tracking device, and remote training collar... all in one!
The Border Patrol TC1 is brilliantly designed, rugged, and brings an entirely new concept to dog containment. By melding the worlds of remote dog training collars, wireless fences, and GPS tracking technology, this device combines them into simple to use e-collar that is capable of working with as many as 1 to 5 dogs at once. Great for walks, hiking, camping, hunting, traveling, or even keep your dog contained in the yard.
Contain your pet in a circular boundary
The first of its kind, this wireless GPS dog fence is completely portable and is small enough to take anywhere. Quickly and easily set the circular fence boundary on the handheld transmitter and you're good to go. The customizable boundary can be set to a 15 to 800 yard radius, keeping your dog close or giving them nearly a miles worth of freedom to safely roam.
The system works by using GPS positioning to set the boundaries of the containment fence. You have the ability to set the fences center point, warning track zone distance, and fence boundary line distance by using the handheld device. This allows you to customize the type of fence you feel is right for your dog. Additionally, you are able to customize the stimulation levels, warning types, auditory beeps, vibration levels, or any combination of such to customize and train your dog to the way you see fit (ie. vibration, and then followed by a static correction).
The fence boundary also has a built in safety feature, called "Welcome Home", which will prevent your dog from being corrected should they ever pass outside of the boundary zone and try to return to the safe zone of containment. This will avoid any mixed signals your dog might get if they by chance leave your boundary zone and try to return home.
After you setting up and activating your custom fence, you will no longer need to leave the handheld device powered on. After you create your fence, you may simply power off the handheld unit and the collars will store the last saved settings and apply warning and stimulations as you custom set.
Short-range GPS tracking
After setting your fence up, you will be able to track your dogs location up to 2 miles away. The handheld unit will display direction and distance from you of each dog, and if they have reached any warning zones or boundary lines. If for some reason your dog exits the boundary zone, you can easily track them down using the GPS tracking features and on-screen display.
If you and your dog hike with the mobile fence, you also have the ability to add a marked waypoints (up to 4) to the device GPS, so that you can easily find your way back home.
Remote Training
It's not just a portable dog fence, the Border Patrol TC1 is a full featured remote dog training collar system as well. The remote transmitter will work at a max range of 2 miles. There are options for continuous, momentary, vibrate, jump and rise modes of stimulation that can be setup to your dog's degree of learning ability. All in all, there are 50 levels of stimulation offered by the system. If you're running multiple dogs on the device, your personalized settings for each dog will be stored within the remote. This allows the correct stimulations to be delivered to the correct dogs as you scroll through each one in the menu.
To run multiple dogs with the Border Patrol, additional collars must be added to the device. They can be added to your cart at the top of the page, or can be found here: Border Patrol Additional Collars.
Combining long-range wireless, electronic fence containment, with training and short-range global positioning satellite tracking, this is ideal for keeping your pet safely contained and trained. We have heard nothing but positive things from our customers about it, and we highly recommend this Border Patrol TC1 containment system.

works well
got this to have some containment control for our Great Pyrenees, We had trouble with him going out to the road when the neighbor lady was walking. we live on a large farm so I needed GPS control of a larger area, this does work well. The only downfall would be to have to charge it daily.

Great collar
This collar worked really well for my dog. We have an outside puppy that started wandering the neighborhood whenever he wanted. Being out in the county with a big yard we didn’t want to spend the time and money burying a wire to keep him in the yard. With this collar I got the perimeter set perfectly and it only took him a couple shocks to understand where his boundaries were. Then we got to the point where when he heard the beep he knew he was getting too far away. Now he doesn’t even go to the point where it beeps. I also really like that if he doesn’t listen to me I can give him a little shock with the controller if needed. The only downfall of this collar is having to charge it so often, but now I don’t even have to have it charged all the time because my dog knows his boundaries. I usually only charge it a couple times a week incase he would need a reminder. Overall great collar!

Great Product
This is our second purchase of this product. We have 2 homes located in 2 different states. Our first home has 11 acres and was not fenced; The cost of fencing in the entire property was way more than we wanted to invest. But after an accident left our dog missing for hours without us knowing if she was injured or dead we knew we had to do something. We began researching GPS fencing. Although not with the same dog we had tried the underground fencing, even the stubborn dog one and found it did not work. We did not want to waste time with that product again. Our dog already had a training collar but not one with GPS. After days of research we found the border patrol and placed an order. We received the product and immediately went to set it up. The instruction manual was easy to follow and set up was relatively quick. Our goal was to keep our dog safe and be able to know where she was at all times. Since she was already accustomed to a training collar she responded well to the vibration stimulus and it wasn't long before she knew her boundaries and kept her distance from them. This purchase and set up was no different (except set up was slightly faster since we already had a unit). The reasoning behind the second units purchase was the same as the first it allows us to keep her safe and know where she is when she is here at our 2nd home. As an FYI and to answer some questions, we have a Lab/Brittney mix (she's a handful) and yes we have had an issue with the product but it was within the warranty period, was sent back and repaired and returned to us in a timely and no hassle manner. And we would recommend this product to anyone.

Well worth it
For our situation this item does exactly as we hoped. We have 200 acres of fairly rural property and want our dogs to be able to explore within that area without running off. If they did somehow get too far we wanted gps to track them. Burying fence for traditional shock collars would have taken forever for an area this large. We did have to crank the setting fairly high for our large husky to respect the warning but she learned quickly once we got the right settings for her. If only there was a way to set an area within the perimeter as offlimits (in our case goat and chicken pens) this system would be perfect. The initial shipping took awhile because the item was back ordered but sporting dogs emailed promptly and politely when I inquired. Very happy so far. Hopefully the system will hold up over time.

Excellent
This is a fantastic piece of technology. Training, tracking and containment all in one. Pricey but worth it for the piece of mind it offers. Highly recommend.

Thank you!!!
Finally after 2 obedient school trainings, another training collar, and running up and down roads searching, we finally have our 22 month German Shepherd staying on our 8+ acre property. Can't be more thankful knowing he's safe at home. Resting easier

Perfect training collar
This collar is perfect for the large areas and the difficult to handle dog. We use this collar to contain our very large anitolian on our 90 acre ranch, it allows him to still protect the live stock and remain on our property. It would be nice if it allowed the use of the way points as excludtion areas.

Excellent product!
Me & my wife were looking for an easy solution to keep our dog in the yard. This is definitely the answer. You can take this thing anywhere and set up a fence. The two best parts are you don't have to bury wires and it dual's as a dog trainer too so you don't have to buy another system just to train. They both work simultaneously too.YOU NEED TO BUY THIS!!!!
