Share post:

The Link AKC Smart Collar has several features:

LOCATION — This feature uses AT&T’s cellular network and GPS technology to help track your dog. You can also set up a “safe zone” by specifying an allowable distance from the base unit. Once your pet crosses the safe zone, you are sent an alert.

WELLNESS — Ambient temperature alerts, activity tracking, veterinary record storage and reminders, and activity recommendations based on your specific pet compared to similar breeds/age/size.

ADVENTURES — You can track your pet’s activity level via the phone app and digitally record and store adventures. Also has a social media aspect to share adventures with your friends.

SOUND & LIGHT — LED light and training sound (series of three quiet beeps) on unit can be activated from app.
