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.

Good
It's a great product for the price. The collar doesn't always connect with GPS but if you program a large enough warning zone it will correct the problem. The remote doesn't hold a charge for a full day so I keep it plugged in. I don't use the remote very often. The GPS fence keeps my dogs where I want them.

Easy and effective
Easy to set up, effective. Just wish there was a “tone” in training mode as well. Works as a fence, also works for my dogs off leash in the woods.

Excellent system
Purchased this to prevent two dogs from venturing away from home, but still allow plenty of room on 40 acres to run around. Works very well, the dogs learned very quickly to respect the vibration and sound alert when venturing close to boundary. The remote shows the general direction of the dogs if they can't be seen, and how far away they are, including if they are outside the boundary. A nice feature that came in handy the first day of use, before they became trained. Overall a great product!

Good
The unit works really well on my property. There's only a few dead spots. It would be nice if you could produce an app with satellite tracking and the ability to customize border perimeters.

Works well once it connect
It does the job once its up and running. Every morning I run into the same issue that the collar does not connect to the radio remote. I add the collar and then it usually takes 10-15 tries before it connects. Fence is really easy to set up and it took only 2 days for the dog to know the boundaries. I would think it beneficial if the collar was a clip instead of a buckle. It would be quicker to put on.

TC1 gps dog collar
I ordered a GPS dog tracking and correction collar online from Sporting Dog and the next day the company personally reached out to me to info me that that product was out of stock and could take 2-3 weeks before it arrived which I have grown accustom to during Covid so no big deal. It showed up in approximately 2 weeks and the collar is the best investment I have made for the safety of my Great Pyrenees. Also I didn’t mention that Sporting Dog Pro was the cheapest online that I could find. I saved almost 100 dollars by ordering from them. I would definitely recommend you to give this company you’re business.

Very functional two in one system
Bought this collar for my 60 lb, 9 month old, English Shepherd. We have about 89 acres, half ag half wooded, on rolling hills. The collar does a great job keeping her from chasing cars down the long drive and keeps her off the road. The dog's instinct led to major issues with chasing runners, ATVs, pretty much anything that moves fast. GPS gets spotty in woods, and sometimes she finds the holes. We had to adjust center a few times to keep her in the open and can easily turn the fence off when we go for walks through the woods. Boundary shifts sometimes when shes in bounds but is fairly consistent. She adjusted well to her boundary in about two weeks. Using the training functions to teach her to heard and be less enthusiastic with the small kids, etc. She comes to the vibration without having to call. Working so far. Soon I hope she wont need it to know where she is and isn't supposed go. Doesn't have as many training or map functions as a Garmin (I would really like to see how many miles that girl runs in a day; she's a busy lady), but the boundary function has worked really well for our situation and is not offered in a two in one by Garmin at this time.

Great Product
TC1 border patrol works as described and has been a huge help keeping or 4 year old lab home on the 40 acres. My only complaint is the fabric collar, seems to be showing wear only a few weeks in.
