NEW HAMPSHIRE, February 26th, 2026 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – SpotOn, the category creator and leader in GPS dog fence technology, announced its official partnership with the American Kennel Club® (AKC®), the world’s largest not-for-profit pedigree dog registry and trusted advocate and authority on canine health and well-being.

SpotOn has been named the Official Wearable GPS Dog Fence Collar of the AKC in support of its latest product launch, the Nova Edition. Nova is the trusted solution among certified pet trainers and customers nationwide, delivering the most accurate and reliable GPS containment system on the market.
