Abstract: An animal locating system including a collar unit including a wireless transceiver for selectively emitting encoded signals to a portable fence unit and to identify when an animal has wandered beyond a predetermined boundary. The system further includes a remote unit including a transmitting mechanism for selectively sending an encoded signal to the collar unit and for notifying an animal that an undesired act has been performed. The portable fence unit is selectively positionable for determining a predetermined boundary within which an animal may wander. The system further includes a third party service unit including a locating mechanism for communicating with a GPS mechanism of the collar unit so that a location of an animal can be determined. The third party service unit also communicates with a transceiver mechanism of the collar unit for determining a location of an animal when same has wandered beyond a predetermined boundary.
