Abstract
The disclosed technology includes a pet collar that can be configured to determine its geolocational position and evaluate that position with respect to the geo-fence of a predetermined geographical area. The collar can have multiple operating modes including at least a first mode wherein the collar is configured to detect the presence of a signal transmitted along a cable disposed along a boundary of the predetermined geographical area and a second mode wherein the collar is configured to receive geo-fence data and determine whether the collar is located within the predetermined geographical area based at least in part on the geo-fence data. The collar can be configured to discourage an animal wearing the collar from leaving the predetermined geographical area in either the first mode or the second mode.
