The porch.
The gate.
The tree line.
PawShiba is being built around real escape conditions—not perfect lab conditions. That means testing positioning, connectivity, local cues, and battery behavior together.
Backyard, cabin, or trail —
escape moments happen fast.
A door is left open, a side gate does not latch, or a dog gets spooked near a cabin trail. PawShiba is being designed to move from everyday tracking into escape-alert mode sooner.
Location and motion signals help detect when a dog may be moving out of a defined yard, cabin, or walking area.
The system can increase tracking attention, upload the event, and preserve last-known movement information.
The goal is to reduce the delay between escape movement and owner awareness in real outdoor tests.
More freedom.
Less wondering.
PawShiba is an escape-safety collar designed to help owners know sooner, keep the last-known trail, and stay connected across yards, cabins, and trail edges.
Alpha in development · Performance and battery claims remain under field validation
Escape alerts, last-known movement,
and rural outdoor reliability.
The first release direction focuses on what escape-prone dog owners actually worry about: leaving the yard, bolting after wildlife, weak rural signal, battery tradeoffs, and not knowing which direction the dog went. Event clips are treated as an optional context layer, not the main promise.
A dual-frequency positioning architecture designed for more stable location performance around trees, buildings, and other difficult outdoor edges.

Focused on helping owners understand where the dog went, not just showing a static dot after the situation becomes scary.

Safe-zone events and outdoor tracking designed for rural and suburban situations where nearby-phone networks may not be enough.

Local voice and vibration cues can remain available from the collar even when a cellular connection is unavailable.
Field testing focuses on yards, cabins, forests, trails, parks, and semi-rural environments—not only open-sky demos.
A compact product direction for medium and large dogs, with size, weight, battery, and thermal tradeoffs being validated together.
Not a broad AI pet gadget.
A focused escape-safety system.
PawShiba V1 is not claiming to predict every pet behavior or solve every lost-dog case. The current Alpha focus is narrower and more measurable: safe-zone alerts, last-known movement, LTE event upload, and battery-mode tradeoffs for escape-prone outdoor dogs.
The goal is not to overpromise AI or camera features. The goal is to validate a measurable safety improvement: earlier escape awareness and better last-known movement for medium and large dogs in real outdoor environments.
Built between a basic tracker
and a bulky boundary system.
PawShiba combines an escape-safety workflow with a compact collar module: stronger positioning architecture for difficult signal edges, LTE alerts when coverage is available, and local voice or vibration cues when it is not.
Useful for checking location, but often designed around general tracking rather than escape events, difficult signal edges, or local collar cues.
Purpose-built control can be effective, but conventional devices may add more bulk, weight, or dedicated setup than owners want every day.
Dual-frequency GNSS, LTE escape alerts, last-known movement, and offline local cues in a prototype targeting 30%+ less size and weight than typical boundary-style devices.
One focus.
Three real escape moments.
See how PawShiba’s first release direction focuses on backyard escapes, cabin/trail incidents, and last-known movement after a dog runs. Optional event clips may be explored only if privacy and hardware tradeoffs make sense.
The Side-Gate Moment
A door is left open or a gate does not latch. PawShiba is designed to help owners know sooner when a dog leaves the safe area.
What we’re testing before launch.
We are testing safe-zone logic, GPS polling, LTE wake/connect time, and backend alert latency in backyard, suburban, and semi-rural scenarios.
Real lost-dog cases show that owners need last-known movement, direction, and timestamps to narrow the search area sooner.
Alpha and beta testing will compare open yards, parks, cabin areas, tree cover, weak LTE zones, and battery-mode tradeoffs.
What the Connect Plan is for.
The $7.99/month Connect Plan supports LTE GPS tracking, safe-zone alerts, faster outdoor notifications, last-known movement history, and cloud event history. Optional event clips and broader AI behavior summaries are still under validation and should not be treated as the core V1 promise.
Local / limited review, if supported. No LTE tracking, no remote safe-zone alerts, no last-known movement history, and no cloud event history.
LTE GPS alerts, safe-zone notifications, last-known movement history, faster outdoor tracking services, and cloud event history.
Early access pricing for field testers.
PawShiba is priced at $449 MSRP, with a $399 Early Access price for field testers. The Connect Plan is $7.99 per month.
