Why I Bought It

I bought a Blingbling Petsfun GPS dog fence for bringing my dog camping with the van when I do not have a physical fence. It does a good job of keeping her near the van and from running off.

The featured Amazon option is PetSafe Guardian GPS Dog Fence.

Keeping My Dog Near the Van When Camping

  1. I bring my dog camping with the van and wanted a boundary without putting up a fence.
  2. I bought the black Blingbling Petsfun GPS fence for camping with my van.
  3. I confirmed that it does a good job keeping her near the van and from running off.

My Takeaway for the Build

I bought the black Blingbling Petsfun GPS fence for camping with my dog without putting up a physical fence. It does a good job keeping her near the van and from running off. The PetSafe Guardian shown here is an Amazon comparison option; SpotOn Omni and Halo Collar 5 provide two other boundary-system packages to compare.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses

SpecificationProduct Detail
Current OptionPetSafe Guardian GPS
SystemApp, base unit and collar
Model ReferencePIF00-17933

The current PetSafe Guardian option uses an app, base unit and collar to define a GPS boundary. Its original guide covers setup, collar fit and training. This is separate from the Blingbling Petsfun system in my camping review. The PetSafe guide specifies a configured property boundary and Wi-Fi setup; it is a different equipment arrangement from a standalone location tracker.

Does The Guardian Fence Locate An Escaped Dog?

Its original guide distinguishes boundary containment from location tracking. The Guardian fence is not a GPS tracking device for locating a dog after it leaves the boundary.
