New Feature in Beta – Coming Soon to All Users

The Activity Map feature shows a heat map of your dog’s movements, giving insight into where they roam most. Activity Map helps you understand your dog’s behavior, prevent escapes, and enjoy greater peace of mind.

⚠️ Note: Activity Map is only available for users with a cellular subscription. Upgrade to a paid plan here. 


How to Access the Activity Map Feature

-  Open the SpotOn app
- Tap on "Profile" on the bottom bar
- Select your dog under "MY DOG"
- Tap on Activity Map


How to Use the Activity Map Feature

Use the dropdown at the top to easily filter your dog’s activity by fence. You can also filter views by different time periods and by activity category (Inside Fence, Near Boundary, and Escapes).

Check the Containment Rate to see how well your dog is respecting the fence boundaries. You can also click on Escapes to view escape-related heat maps and visualize where your dog is prone to escaping. In the sample screen below, the dog is prone to escaping along a section of the northern border.

If your dog is having trouble staying within the fence, follow recommendations from our trainers here:

>> Ask the Expert: Help! My Dog Keeps Running Through Our Wireless Fence


Observe the areas where your dog is showing more intense levels of activity and determine if they’re supposed to be in those areas.

Is your dog snooping around your award-winning zucchinis, the compost pile, or other off-limits areas? Use the SpotOn app to set a Keep Out Zone and keep your dog away from off-limit areas.
