LINK™ Smart Collar

Your invisible fence, connected to your phone. Monitor battery life, adjust training levels, track activity, and use it as a remote trainer—all from an app.

LINK connects via Bluetooth. Remote trainer features work within Bluetooth range (typically 30–50 ft).

Is LINK Right for You?

LINK is an optional upgrade—your invisible fence works perfectly without it. Here’s who benefits most from adding smart features.

✓ LINK is great for...

  • Worriers: People who want to know the battery is charged and the system is working before letting their dog out
  • Busy households: Multiple dogs with different training needs—each collar gets independent settings
  • Pattern-spotters: The activity history shows if your dog is quietly respecting the fence or testing it when you’re not watching
  • Beyond-the-yard trainers: The remote trainer feature works on walks too—same collar, more versatility
  • Peace-of-mind seekers: Anyone who wants visibility into what’s happening with the system

You might not need LINK if...

  • Your dog is already rock-solid on the boundary and you don’t want to manage an app
  • You prefer a “set it and forget it” system with no smartphone involvement
  • You’re comfortable with the standard system and don’t need the extra visibility

That’s completely fine. Our standard EcoLite receiver is an excellent choice on its own.

The Smallest, Smartest Collar on the Market

LINK Features That Actually Matter

Smart features should solve real problems. Here’s how LINK makes day-to-day life with your invisible fence easier.

🔋

Battery Status

“No more guessing”

See exact battery percentage before your dog goes out. Get low-battery alerts with days of lead time—you’ll never be caught off guard.

Example: Before you open the back door, glance at the app—full battery, good to go.
📊

Activity History

“Know what’s really happening”

View a log of boundary warnings and corrections by day, week, or month. Spot patterns over time.

Example: If warnings spike on days when squirrels are active, we adjust training strategy.

GentleSteps™ Adjustment

“Fine-tune without waiting”

Adjust correction levels right from your phone. Make small changes without scheduling a visit.

Example: If your dog ignores the warning tone in week 2, we tell you exactly what level to try.
🎓

Remote Trainer

“Beyond fence boundaries”

Use the same collar for off-property training—tone or any of 13 correction levels from your phone, within Bluetooth range.

Example: On leash walks, reinforce “leave it” or “come” with a warning tone.
🔦

Night Light

“Find your dog fast”

Toggle an LED on the collar to track your dog in the yard after dark.

Example: One tap in the app, and you can spot your black lab in the back corner of the yard.
👪

Multi-User Access

“The whole family can help”

Everyone in the household can have the LINK app. One person connects at a time (like any Bluetooth device), but anyone can monitor and adjust.

Example: You’re at work; your spouse checks battery before letting the dog out.

Remote Trainer Range (Important)

How the Remote Trainer Works

The LINK app’s remote trainer sends commands via Bluetooth. Typical range is 30–50 feet, depending on your phone, obstacles, and environment. This means:

✓ Works in the yard, inside the house, and on walks—whenever you’re near your dog.

✓ Works through typical walls—you can use it from inside while your dog is in the backyard.

✕ Does not work from across town. This isn’t a cellular or GPS system—you need to be within Bluetooth range of your dog.

The remote trainer gives you 13 correction levels plus audible warnings—the same range of options available in the boundary system, but controlled from your phone for on-the-spot training.

Real-Time Alerts with Wi-Fi (Premium Package)

Know your fence is working—even when you’re not home.

Available with the OT-300 LINK Transmitter (included in our premium package with battery backup)

Low Battery Alerts

Get push notifications when the collar battery is running low—with enough lead time to charge before it matters.

Wire Break Detection

If the boundary wire is damaged, you’ll know immediately via push notification—even if you’re at work.

Power Loss Alert

Know if the transmitter loses power so you’re never caught unaware. (Battery backup keeps the fence running.)

Heartbeat™ Monitoring

The system runs regular checks to confirm everything is working. If anything’s wrong, you’ll know—even when you’re away.

What You Control vs. What We Handle

LINK gives you convenient access to the settings you need—while keeping the more complex programming safe with your dealer.

You can do in the app:

  • Adjust GentleSteps™ correction level
  • Use remote trainer (tone + 13 correction levels)
  • View battery percentage
  • Review activity history
  • Toggle the nightlight
  • Switch between multiple dogs
  • Share access with family members

We handle for you:

  • Deeper programming and system settings
  • Setting how many levels you can access
  • Transmitter configuration
  • Troubleshooting and diagnostics
  • Any adjustments beyond GentleSteps levels
Why? This keeps things simple for you and prevents accidental changes that could affect your dog’s training. If you ever need something changed, we’re a phone call away.

The “Before You Open the Door” Safety Check

Know your collar is working—every single time.

Pet Stop Diagnostic Charging Station Plus with EcoLite LINK collar

The Diagnostic Charging Station Plus doesn’t just charge—it runs a 7-point test every charge cycle to verify the collar is functioning properly. This takes about 10 seconds.

Green light = good to go. If anything’s wrong, you’ll know before putting the collar on your dog.

This answers the fear every dog owner has: “What if the collar fails quietly?” It won’t. The charger catches problems before your dog goes outside.

  • Automatic self-test every charge cycle
  • Tests receiver function, battery health, and signal response
  • Pass/fail indicator—no guesswork
  • Only Pet Stop® offers this diagnostic testing

Warranty & Guarantee (Transparent)

We believe in being upfront about what’s covered—no fine print surprises.

UltraCare™ Lifetime Warranty

The Ecolite Link Receiver is covered by Pet Stop’s UltraCare warranty—covering failing or damaged equipment.

Deductible: 20% of the original sale price of the covered equipment.

Transferable: The warranty is tied to the equipment and transfers to new owners.

12-Month Containment Guarantee

If the system can’t contain your dog within 12 months—and you’ve followed the training plan and worked with us on adjustments—we’ll make it right.

Conditions apply: training must be followed, and you need to reach out if issues arise so we can try different settings.

A Note on Training & Comfort

LINK is a tool that makes your invisible fence smarter—but the foundation is always training. We use GentleSteps™ training, which focuses on teaching your dog to respect boundaries through positive reinforcement and gradual exposure. The goal is that most dogs respond to warning cues, not correction.

For your dog’s comfort, collars should be removed daily (including at night) to prevent irritation. We’ll cover all of this during your training orientation.

LINK Questions

Do I need LINK for the fence to work?

No. LINK is an optional upgrade. The invisible fence works perfectly without the app—LINK just adds convenience and visibility.

Can I use LINK if I have multiple dogs?

Yes. You can add multiple dogs to the app, each with their own photo and completely independent settings. Switch between dogs quickly when using the remote trainer.

Can multiple family members use the app?

Yes. Everyone in your household can download the LINK app and connect to the collar. Like any Bluetooth device, only one phone can be actively connected at a time—but anyone can check battery status, view history, or use the remote trainer when they’re connected.

What exactly can I change in the app myself?

You can adjust the GentleSteps correction level—how strong the training signal is. Deeper programming (like timing, signal patterns, and advanced settings) stays dealer-side for safety and simplicity.

How far does the remote trainer work?

Typically 30–50 feet, depending on your phone, obstacles, and environment. It works through walls and across a normal yard. You need to be relatively close to your dog—it’s not a cellular or GPS system.

Is LINK a GPS tracker?

No. LINK does not track your dog’s location. It connects to the collar via Bluetooth for battery monitoring, activity history, and remote training—but it’s not a GPS device.

What about the Wi-Fi alerts I’ve heard about?

Wi-Fi push notifications (wire break alerts, power loss alerts, heartbeat monitoring) require the OT-300 LINK Transmitter, which is included in our premium package. The standard LINK collar connects via Bluetooth only.

How long does the battery last?

3–4 weeks per charge with typical usage. Heavy use of app features (night light, remote trainer, frequent adjustments) can reduce runtime. A full charge takes about 3 hours. The app alerts you when battery is low with plenty of lead time.

Does LINK require a subscription?

No. The app is free to download and there are no monthly fees. You pay once when you add LINK to your system.

Can someone else connect to my dog’s collar?

No. LINK uses PIN-based pairing. Only devices you’ve authorized can connect to the collar.

Does LINK work with other fence brands?

LINK is exclusive to Pet Stop systems. If you have another brand, we can discuss upgrading your entire system.

What if my dog runs through the fence?

Contact us immediately. This is usually a training or settings timing issue. We can often adjust settings remotely, and we’ll work with you to solve it. That’s why we include unlimited support.
