Is SkyShepherd affected by obstacles or cloud cover?

Weather

The collar should be largely unaffected by weather. If you think yours is affected by weather, contact SkyShepherd support.

Obstacles

GPS signals do bounce off of water, so we don't recommend setting up a boundary with a perimeter that runs over a body of water. Additionally, it is best to have a sufficient amount of space between the alert zones of your boundary and sheer, tall faces, like the side of a three story house or barn. It is best to have at least 50 ft. of clearance between your house or any tall, sheer structure and any boundary alert zone; the more space between, the better. Dense forest can impact overall GPS performance, and high-tension power lines in the immediate area may interfere with GPS signal recetion.
