Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker | Live Pet Tracker with Virtual Fence | Vital Signs Monitoring of Heart & Respiratory Rate | Dog Collar Attachment (White)

On my second year of using this tracker for my two female hound dogs. I live in a rural area on the edge of a national forest. My two dogs have a penchant for running off on little "adventures" that take them miles and miles from our home. They always come back but there are hunters, ranchers with cattle, a moderately busy scenic highway nearby, coyotes, etc. etc -- plenty of hazards. I got the tracker so that I could go out and run the little rascals down and retrieve them when they take one of these jaunts and it has worked well for that. If I can get within 500 - 1000 feet of them and whistle they will come right to me, with a "Gee, you're out here too? You should have come with us, it was great!" look on their faces. The only slight drawback is that the tracking is dependent on 1) cell phone coverage and 2) GPS reception. Since our area is remote, mountainous and heavily forested both of these can be spotty or even non-existent depending on where the dogs are. The result is that they drop off the map for some period of time and then re-appear when the tracker gets in range of a cell signal and/or GPS. This coupled with the sparse road network means that it can take some time to run them down but over the last two years I have managed to run them down every time they have taken off. Sometimes it takes an hour or two but that is not the fault of the unit --- it's the environment I live in. I've found that the location the unit gives is very accurate. Live mode works very well if you have a strong enough cell/GPS signal. The unit has saved me a lot of worrying and fretting. Before I got it I would have no idea at all where they were and I would just have wait (and hope) they would not get into trouble and would find their way back. BTW, these two must have a biological GPS built into them because after I got the tracker I found that they would go up to 5 miles away and cover a track of 15 miles or so in just a few hours! With the unit I can know, with assurance, that (for instance) "Oh, they're running down the power line right of way to the lake, no big deal" or "They're over at the Smith's ranch, probably chasing calves so I better get them". So now, if I worry, at least it's more informed worrying! : > The unit seems to be durable and waterproof. This is my second year with it and it's holding up well. My dogs come back covered in mud, water, cockleburrs, etc. The unit is scratched up a bit but otherwise no worse for the wear. Battery life is very good. In our wifi power saving zone the battery would probably last up to a week (guessing). Out of the power saving zone and with a lot of live mode tracking I would estimate that battery life would be 1 -2 days. Can't really say for sure because I charge the unit every night, just in case. My dogs are getting a bit older now and are less adventurous; this unit helped me get them through their adolescence and was certainly worth every penny for the unit and subscription! UPDATE: February 2025 The battery on the tracker that I purchased nearly two years ago degraded to the point that I would have to charge it every night. The charge would barely last 24 hours, less if I was using live tracking. A couple of times it went flat while I was still out looking for my dogs. So, I bought another one. The newer model has an updated charging arrangement that is a cradle that securely snaps on to the tracker. The older model had a cord with a magnetic socket that was easy to detach so you had to be careful when setting it down or the connection would be lost. So the new charging arrangement is definitely an improvement. The newer model has great battery life. So far I have gone 3 - 4 day (with a fair amount of life tracking in there) without it dropping below 50%. This better than I got when my first unit was new so perhaps Tractive has improved some of the inner workings too. So -- not a complaint at all. I got almost two years use out of the first tracker and I think that is quite good. Nothing lasts forever, all things wear out and for the price (less than $50) I consider this good longevity. Great product, at least for me, and I will definitely renew my subscription (for the third year) come March when it expires.

I have two young dogs and got each a Tractive last year, when we first got them as puppies. I used Whistle trackers in the past with another dog, but was not satisfied with the reliability or speed of updates when tracking with it and wanted something better. I did a bit of research and decided Tractive sounded like a good option. I have been very happy with the units and with their solid reliability. The key to using them is to set your wifi home zone so you are not draining battery constantly. As long as you do that (and you are able to set multiple "home" zones), these can run one to two weeks at a time easily without recharging. My dogs got out this summer chasing deer through the woods at twilight runnning back into a swamp about a mile from our home. The terrain was very challenging, and they ran over 3 miles during their outing, before they separated with the smaller dog being unable to further navigate the deepening swamp. After going a bit further, the larger dog circled back and reconnected with the smaller one bringing them both back to us (where we had been calling for them unheeded for 15 mins). While this situation was not ideal, the good news was I could "see" where they were in real time on the Tractive app. I knew where to go looking if they did not come back and this gave me more confidence that they were not lost or out on the high speed county roads. We had another occassion when we left the pups in our outdoor fenced yard while we enjoyed dinner out with family about 90 mins from our house. One pup got out and my Tractive notified me promptly when she left the safe zone. I was able to get in touch with a neighbor who put her in our house safely to wait for us to get back home. That could have been a genuine disaster had I not known she had escaped and been able to manage it. The trackers are also very resistant to abuse. Our larger pup uses her mouth to enrourage her smaller accomplice in play, and the Tractive sticks off the collar making it an obvious place for her to grab. That Tractive has been chewed to bits on the outside, but still works great. I honestly am amazed at it's resiliance. The only thing I have had to replace is an aftermarket silicone sleeve that I use to attach hers to her collar. I recommend Tractive to anyone looking for a solid, reliable and inexpensive method to monitor their pet

A friendly FYI that the dimensions on the dog tracker are the exact same as the cat tracker. I know this as the cat one was out of stock everywhere when I needed to purchase one. It was either wait and have no ability to track my new farm cat or get the dog one and use that same day. The reason why I purchased through Amazon versus the actual company’s site was it allowed for me to receive it the very same day versus waiting a week or more for it to arrive. Supposedly, they have released a new cat tracker based on cat specific needs but I have not seen any great detail into why it is better than using the dog one in a cat. The tracker goes around the collar with silicone type loops which secure on the other side via a hook type fastener. There are two of these. I did make sure to get a collar for the cat which was an elastic type not a breakaway type so that she would not be able to loose the collar or tracker easily. After several months of daily hard use, it has not come off one time. I have another high dollar tracker for my dog that requires a subscription such as this one does. It’s battery lasts unbelievably long compared to the Tractive one. The dog is way more active than the cat so in fact the battery of the other one if on a this same cat would last 10 times longer than Tractive does. The Tractive collar seems to charge more quickly than the other company’s tracker. I am not fond of the magnetic type charging cable for Tractive as I prefer either one to go into a slot or a base for the tracker to sit on to charge (like the other company has). The magnetic charging cable for Tractive is super easy to accidentally disconnect which is a problem if it is not charged fully when it occurred and you need it charged fully right then. In order to prevent the cat from being lost, I have to lock it up every evening in the barn and charge the collar so that when morning comes the collar is 100% and the cat is safe for the day with me knowing exactly where she is at all times. If I did not do this it would be what I would call too risky as the collar is placed at 100% battery on the cat at 5 am. The cat spends almost all day sleeping in one spot or walking a very small distance in the barn. She is not out roaming about. When nighttime comes, she is more active and goes hunting in the field. This is around 7 pm when she becomes active and when I go from getting one notification of her moving in an hour to multiple notifications a minute sometimes. By 11 pm, if she is not placed inside and the collar put on the charger, her collar is anywhere from 40 to 60% battery. To me, a drop of 5 to 10% or more an hour with her at that charged amount, would not allow me to actually locate her if she did not come back to the barn on her own or if she had gotten hurt somewhere. By 5 am, her collar would be dead or close to it unless she went completely inactive again. As I said, too risky for me. Even on wifi or attached to my phone’s Bluetooth, where it is not using 100% LTE/mobile network, the battery does not last as long as the other company’s collar. The products are roughly similar sized, and if anything the other company’s actual tracker is smaller. The thing that I love about this company versus the other I have for the dog is that the geofences are able to be set up as you want them. You can set up however many you want, have good zones that they’re fine being in, not so great zones/caution zones that you want to be notified that they are no longer in their spots, and no go zones/danger zones where they should not be and need to know so you can retrieve. They can be circle shaped, rectangle shaped or custom shaped zones. With the other company I only have an option of circles which means there’s like a zillion and they’re only good zones. They all have to overlap to make them fit and it is not feasible to deal with. Second thing that I love about Tractive versus the other company’s collar is the options I am given to use the tracker with different features. I can turn on a light (can select color) so they can be spotted at night easier, then on sound (even though I have a very hard time hearing it even after the tech department changed the sound type remotely for me), use a locator beacon on the app which tells me hot/cold version of me getting to the animal, and best of all use AR (augmented reality) where u see what the animal is seeing. When you have a pet you cannot find, seeing what they see is amazing! If they’re under a bush staring at you, but they are camouflaged where you cannot see them, switch to AR and you see your feet in that example and voila! You have your animal! As far as the app perks, they are very similar to the other company’s app. The subscription plans are about the same with both replacing damaged or lost trackers depending on the subscription you get. If you have an animal who is either an escape artist or allowed to roam, or one who you leave with sitters a lot, then the cost is minimal and you should not bat an eye at it. The amount of time and fried nerves this has prevented me from getting is priceless. The tech support is great. They have always responded quickly and thoroughly to any of my needs. I do like that the other company’s app allows social media type interactions with other pet parents worldwide and in my area who I friend. This would be great for those looking for similar peeps in their area or an area they are traveling to for walks and play dates. Their tech support is not as quick or thorough as Tractive. I would love if both companies would combine into one company as then everyone would get exactly what they need. I will say one more thing about Tractive. I did lose the cat one night after she had been allowed to roam out of the barn after her adjustment period. She had not come to the barn at her normal time, had not moved from her spot when I called her, and continued to stay in that spot. I thought she was either hurt or had lost the collar. I went in search of her as I knew exactly where the tracker was at. I got there and could not find her anywhere. I was right on top of the spot but no signs of the tracker or her collar at all. Finally, I heard a faint meow and thought she must be under brush and hurt. But she was not. I did not know that the altitude was not automatically turned on in the app at that time. Had I know. That was a feature as I was new to it all, I would have used it. Ten minutes later I located her over 25 feet up in a massive tree. It made sense as I had seen her tracking path from the back of my neighbors house to where she was at and how quickly she had moved. Since she was new to me as well, I did not know she was a cat who liked trees. None of my other 20+ cats in my lifetime have gone up a tree. She’s the first. She’s a hunter and now I know she goes up trees to get into bird’s nests as I watch her daily do. That night just after midnight I found her in the tree for the first time. Had I known of the altitude I would have known to turn it on and could’ve immediately known she was in a tree versus getting scratched up by briars and covered in ticks trying to find her. Had I not had the tracker I would not have known she had been scared to death by something and went up the tree and could’ve been lost forever or days at least. But with the tracker I eventually found her, thought I was going to have to wait forever for her to come down, but she backed her little self right on down out of the tree like a bear would. Good kitty! After that evening I did investigate and learn more about what all Tractive offers as features in the event I needed them again. Do make sure to familiarize yourself before you get in a not so great situation like I did. UPDATE 2023 AUGUST: Well after purchasing at least 5 of these in order to get a new charging cable as needed immediately due to the inadequate design and poor workmanship on the one that came with the collar, I am now screwed out of spending the extra couple bucks to get new cable by buying new tracker to have the same day or overnight. The original charging cables worked up to 6 months. Usually more like 3 months and the little metal prongs that move somewhat on the charger would break. Sometimes just one but usually both in quick succession if not at the same time. I had the last charging cable break and ordered a collar as my usual routine only to have it arrive and discover that the charging cable is completely different design. I think that it’s only appropriate and fair that Tractive give all of us who have a subscription with the old tracker design a new tracker since we are allowed 1 or 2 replacements under the Tractive service contract depending on the length of our contract is the number of replacements. After all it’s their faulty design and inability to follow suggestions from customers or give a solution to those of us who have had major issues. I don’t know if others had this problem as they may not have to charge theirs daily as I do with my 2 paid subscription trackers. Mine have to be charged daily as my cat travels within an acre radius of her home base aka my equestrian center. Yet within that acre she travels an average of 2 to 3 miles DAILY between her turnout time of 5 am to lock up time at 9 pm. She eats up the battery as in the move and wifi isn’t within that acre. So it’s Bluetooth on my phone (doesn’t use as much battery) or using the cellular service on the tracker which also eats battery. When she’s locked up at 9 pm in the barn the collar is removed and charged as anywhere from 40 to 60% remaining. Yes, I have tried making it another day, but it’s dead well before 9 pm even if turned off over night when locked in barn. Plus I have horrendous luck most of the time and should she go astray of her typical area, I don’t want 40% or less on the collar and trying to find her in live mode using the cellular service as it is a dead battery before she’s located. This has happened more than once now. I was pleasantly shocked and super excited to see that another company is making the old charger style and selling on Amazon. It is not same or next day shipping (at least not for me and not yet), but it’s a much higher quality charging cable and significantly longer than the original Tractive one. Here’s the link if it shows up: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C2XSQ9LH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

(Update at bottom) I’ll start with the star rating. I wouldn’t give it a 2 but it doesn’t deserve 3 either, and because Amazon I can’t give it the 2.5 it should get. I ordered one for both of my dogs and the battery life was significantly worse than advertised on one and just less than advertised on the other. One lasted all of 8-10 hours and the other lasted about a day and a half. I contacted support a week after receiving them and got the awful one replaced, but I had to pay return shipping. Now the new one lasts about 2 days and my other one lasts about a day and a half at best. I’d get the other one replaced as well but I’m worried I’ll get one that’s even worse, or even better than the other one and my OCD just can’t handle that right now. GPS signal drift is also an issue for me. Constantly I get notifications that they left the virtual fence while they are right next to me and no where near the boundaries. Before you ask, no. There isn’t a single tree obstructing the view of the sky, and we have average cell reception for the LTE. As well as signal drift, I have about a 60% failure rate for live tracking. More often than not, it takes a solid 5 minutes of trying and refreshing to get the live tracking to work. Eventually it always has, but if you’re actually trying to find a lost pet, it’ll make you lose confidence in this device pretty quickly. The Activity tracking is interesting to say the least. I can’t easily prove if it’s correct, but it’s certainly tracking something. If it’s going off of GPS movement then it’s utterly worthless. If it has sensors in it to track physical movements then it’s probably fairly accurate, but this isn’t why I bought these so I really don’t care either way. If it’s correct then my dogs are more active than any other dog in my “Local” tab by quite a bit. Overall you get what you pay for. Extremely accurate GPS systems that just work are very expensive and certainly not small enough to fit on any dog comfortably. If you have a GOOD LTE connection and a clear view of the sky it’s a pretty good product, but be aware that the battery quality control sucks. You might get 2 winners, or you could have to replace them several times to get what’s advertised. Also, buy some replacement rubber strap things from their website. They tear easily if your dogs like to play rough. **UPDATE** Absolutely 100% can not recommend this product anymore. The quality control is unacceptable. Device updates DO NOT work, and customer service declined quite a bit since my first issue. I had to return another tracker that was having serious problems, and this return 100% made me regret buying these. While the person I was working with (for over a week…) wasn’t “rude”, they simply didn’t want to do anything about my issue. It wasn’t until I told them there is no way I will be continuing my service unless this issue gets resolved, that they actually did their job. I payed for the yearly subscription with the advanced or premium support. Fast food restaurants have better customer service than these people. Neither tracker will live track anymore while on the dog, the one that I JUST got replaced has a significantly weaker battery than the broken one I sent back, the “battery saving WiFi zone” doesn’t work at all, and now the new one doesn’t have that update and won’t install the update. The only way I could justify using these is if they sent me a bunch of them and gave me free service for 5+ years. That’s what it’ll take for me to continue using these after my subscription runs out. 11/27/2021 I’m now on my 6th and 7th trackers. If the replacement cost wasn’t just shipping, there’s no way I would have gotten to this point. DO. NOT. BUY

App and set up was a breeze, and I am not a super techie geek either. I did the set up through the website which offered the monthly subscription for $12.99. Let me break it down, $50 +$12.99. I thought, what do I have to lose but $63. Reviews were mixed and you can never go off the reviews anymore, as people are paid to write good reviews and competitors who write to malign. I am neither. Just a red blooded American in Anthem Arizona. Normal tracking seemed reliable with intervals of 1 minute, up to five minutes or slightly more. Not sure how the app or system works to determine how the interval is determined. It’s flat out random. When it does update, the target is exactly where shown. The live tracking was spot on, showing my phone and the target, Bella our cool Carolina Dog- aka American Dingo, moving in concert at my exact location. Geofencing customization was easy to tailor to my home, adjacent houses, rear wash and street out front. You can make the fence any shape you want. Still trying to dial in the notifications sound to a 5 alarm fire alert if and when she ever decides to “wander.” There seemed to be a slight delay to my initial set up when she left the geofence on a morning walk of approximately 4 minutes or so. My latest geofence edit may correct this delay. Will do more testing to verify. First 24 hours on battery life: Bella was home overnight in battery saving mode of our network (except for one 35 minute walk) and then at daycare the following day, away from our home and in regular track mode. Started at 99% and ended the 24 hours at 87%. I did test the live mode twice during this 24 hour period which was a total of about 4 minutes for testing purposes. Extremely easy to go back and forth from regular tracking to live tracking with one tap of icon. No complaints with this level of battery consumption and charging with “the short cable” which was not an issue. It charged as it designed. Charging time from 87% with red LED to 100% green LED was approximately 90 minutes which was I just now verified as I write this review. Daycare neighbor said Bella was swimming during the day with other doggie friends. Unit is still working just fine. Haven’t gotten into any of the health reporting capabilities but will explore those in time. With 24 hours in, the tracker seems to work as designed and does what it’s advertised to do as a tracker. That said, from what I’ve seen thus far, I have a better piece of mind than a collar without a Tractive attached to it. I plan to upgrade for a 1 years subscription as long as what has been observed and report continues over the next month. Given this early review, I would recommend to purchase this product. Dziękuję Ci Hank P.

The device has already paid for itself even though it arrived only two weeks ago. Dog ran off in the woods. Impossible to see or find walking around looking or calling. The glitch mentioned in the title hit right away. No GPS signal. Kept pressing the "live" button for 15 minutes or so and then it finally connected. Spent 2 hours chasing the dog around the woods. The tracker kept a charge all that time. It did lose the GPS signal another couple of times which was extremely frustrating, but then it would reconnect. Finally found dogs a mile away in a cow pasture. No way would I have found them without this tracker. About the GPS glitch. Apparently if the tracker gets in between hills like down in a valley it can lose the GPS signal. And of course that is what the dog did. Went down the hill to the valley and then ran up and down the valley which is what was causing the loss of GPS. When the dog went back uphill or came out on a flat area like a field or pasture, then the GPS could reconnect. 45 minutes of live tracking used around 35% of the battery. I was extremely impressed. The tracker only used about 10 MB of mobile data during that time which also impressed me. The live tracking did try to shut down a couple of times at the time interval it was set too, but pressing the continue button took me right back to the tracking screen with no loss of tracking information. I recommend setting the live tracking interval to at least 15 minutes. The default is only 5 minutes. Their tech support is non existent. They have a FAQ is all. I emailed them 2 weeks ago and have not heard back yet so don't plan on getting any help from them. I don't understand why they do not have a community bulletin board for users to help each other with. They still would not have to pay tech support workers which is what they want but they get the good will from people actually receiving help even if it is from other users. The default boundary for receiving alerts is much too big in my opinion. I think it is 150 feet if I remember correctly. In my case, if the dog gets 50 feet away from the house it is a runaway dog that needs chasing down. The collar attachment does not inspire confidence. Basically it is a rubber band. A rubber band that has to be undone every time the device needs charging. I can't see it lasting more than a few months. Then I will have to purchase new rubber bands. I wish there was a plug in port for charging the device while it is on the collar, but I guess that would be too susceptible to water damage. Other than those couple of gripes and the lack of tech support, I would recommend this device to anyone wanting to keep track of their animals.

I have three of these for my three dogs. These units do what they claim, with some caveats. I live in a metropolitan area with PLENTY of cell coverage. A percentage of the time though the units just stop responding to GPS pings, rendering protection useless. Sometimes a hard reset will fix the issue. But if your dog is lost you are SOL. As for run-times, battery life for practical use is a single day, even without any "live" tracking. I lose about a third of charge per day when in standard tracking (non-live) mode. Up to you if you want your battery under half when your dog gets loose. If your battery is low when your dog gets loose and you go into 'find' mode you may have a very short time to finish locating your animal. Live mode seems to exponentially increase battery drain (as you would expect, it's pinging every few seconds instead of every 5 minutes). For my piece of mind I end up recharging all units once a day. This is not a dig on the manufacturer, battery life for these types of devices that must continually ping towers is an issue on most makes. The included charging cables are very very short (a few inches) and use non standard connectors. They don't really look like they will hold up long term and the way they attach could be prone to unintended disconnects. Don't know if you can purchase spares or what the cost would be. The way the units attach to the collar could be better. Can be difficult to latch at first, then over time it loosens up a bit, making it easier to get on and off although also easier to become unattached. Probably not much of a chance of it completely dropping depending on how loose you dog's collar is. This should be obvious, but if you are walking your dogs and your dog slips its collar your gps is left dangling on your collar, not your dog. Best to use these with a harness and/or a collar so that the gps can remain on your loose dog. (Ok, I admit I didn't think things through at first :). The apps could be a bit more intuitive. When working with multiple animals you basically have info on one at a time requiring quite a few clicks to navigate at times. But they work either on a computer or mobile device. In the end the apps get the job done. As for pricing, the ads are a little misleading. Monthly prices quoted are for annual pay. If you want to pay by the month it's double. For multiple animals this can add up. Perhaps a discount for multiples would be nice. Also, i might consider buying spares and rotating them so I always had charged units, but not if I have to pay double again for the subscription. The fencing feature is helpful but inaccurate. The minimum size of the 'fence' required will likely include several houses on all sides of you. So you won't know right away if your dog gets out of your yard. This likely has to do with gps limitations so maybe not a design issue. However, other gps locators on my phone seem to be accurate within a few feet. I can usually ping my phone and see what part of the house my phone is in. Don't know why this wouldn't be the same? But back to my biggest concern. If the unit won't ping when its surrounded by towers and you don't know that this has happened, it is useless. You should at least get a msg on your phone that tells you when the gps is no longer responding to pings so you can troubleshoot or reset. But what good does it do if you are just walking your dogs around the neighborhood and then later you realize the unit stopped tracking miles ago? If this review sounds negative it's not meant to be. It certainly beats the common 'bluetooth' options out there which should be outlawed as deceptive trade practice. A bluetooth locator will work within a very short distance or not all. If your dog gets out of your yard your bluetooth will likely be useless. All in all, these units are better than other options I have experimented with and worth a look. I am concerned about it's ability to stay connected to gps tho. And what about bad weather? Tree cover? etc. Update: 5/6/2021 The newer version of software now has a "battery saving" mode which makes things a "tad" bit better on the battery side. However, as expected, the GPS upadates even less frequently making it even less useful in the event of an emergency. May be a while before your unit goes "live" if your pet gets loose. Bottom line: this unit is way better than most bluetooth only alternatives but make no bones, to keep this on your dog at all times requires recharging every day or day and half if you don't want your unit getting low on charge before a pet loose event. Once you go "live" to find your pet the battery drains very quickly. It would be nice if there were a reasonable spare battery option of some kind. Buying two units is not only double the price but double the monthly charge of course. Also, these units do not do well in bad weather and generally perform better in open areas with clear blue skies. Cloud cover (stormy weather) and/or thick tree cover or other obstructions can affect location tracking adversely. That is understandable. But again, just understand that these things are not as powerful as your typical cell phone and require optimum weather and line of sight to satellite conditions to work their best. Considering the alternatives these units are probably as good as you are going to get in this price range.

I have been hunting for a reliable tracker for my dog for a while. We live out in the country where only Verizon provides service, and that signal is not super strong. I initially tried the FI collar, but that uses AT&T only, and I never got it to work on the cell service. I was hesitant about trying the Tractive collar - mainly because it just looked cheap. Boy, was I wrong! First off, the design is actually very clever - lightweight, easy to recharge, inexpensive, and doesn't bother my small dog (21 pounds) at all. I found that its live tracking works extremely well (see the map of the tracking for one of her outings), even with the marginal cell service here. I do have problems in the morning when it is overcast or drizzly, but in the afternoons when it is overcast it works fine. A few items of note: 1 - The WiFi home zone is very large around my house - probably at least 200 yard range in all directions. I wish that the sensitivity of the tracker could be adjusted so that the zone is reduced to around 50 yards. This would make it a lot easier to see whether my dog is heading toward the road or down by the lake.. 2 - The live tracking cannot be activated when the tracker is in the WiFi home zone unless you are within about 10 or 15 feet (bluetooth range) of the tracker. The bluetooth range does seem very small. 3 - To address item 1 and 2, I changed the live tracking to 30 minutes. Whenever I let my dog out, I activate the tracker so that I know exactly where she is - whether she is in the WiFi home zone or not. That has worked great for me and I get immediate notification when she goes into the different zones. 4 - The battery seems to last about 4 or 5 days for me even using the live tracker more than normal. Charging is very easy and the tracker doesn't even have to be taken off of the collar. 5 - The notifications didn't work at first, but after disabling and re-enabling the zones, it finally started working. Those will be super helpful to be able to know that my dog is safe while I am inside working. All in all, I am extremely pleased with the tracker and look forward to using it at other locations when I travel with my dog.

Overall I think its a good product. I bought it for my puppy as I was concerned she might escape from the backyard. The activity tracking features are a fun bonus to me. I like that I can set virtual fences that alert me if my puppy goes outside the virtual fence. I have a small house so the virtual fence doesn't go small enough to be just my house, however it gets small enough that my puppy still can't go far before I get notified. And I think having it be that bit bigger than house means that I don't get false alarms. I enjoy the local leaderboard feature. I think its cute to be able to see how active other dogs in the area are. I also really like the light and noise features. I have started training my puppy to respond to the noise feature as a recall signal which I think will be great for for when they are off lead. My only real complaint is the battery life. I find that it needs to be charged basically every day. I find it easiest to charge it overnight just like my phone. It does charge fast enough though that I can also charge it while she naps during the day and have it on nearly 24/7. Just depends what you want to use it for. I put it on my cat to see where he goes outside and I did find that the battery lasted a lot longer as he barely moves all day. I only had to charge it every 2-3 days for the cat. So I think it depends on how active your animal is. My puppy is quite active. Shes up and running around and playing for about 5 hours everyday. As per some of the other reviews stating their tracker stopped working after about a month, I signed up for the $14 a month subscription, which i would recomend doing for at least the first month or 2 to make sure you like it and it works well in your area before commiting to the cheaper but upfront yearly plans as others have said if the product doesn't work they could not get a refund for the subscription only the tracker itself.

This device and the app are fantastic! Not only does it track where your dog is in real time with an acceptable level of accuracy, but it tracks your dogs activity and rest to let you know how your dog is doing. You can build virtual fences at home and if your little buddy ventures outside of it, you can set surrounding no-go zones and the notification will let you know exactly what area they are so that you know where to start looking without even opening the app. It shows you how much activity your dog is getting compared to other dogs in your area. And you can have a friendly little competition with your doggie neighbours to see who had the most activity. Absolutely love it. The only thing I would say is that the battery could last a little bit longer, but it does last for a few days before it needs recharging.

Battery last long and gps tracking is working fine in mizoram(india). Better than yepzon

Excelente articulo, muy preciso yo vivo en jalisco y funciona excepcional, si amas a tu mascota y quieres estar al pendiente de su ubicación no hay mejor gps. Lo que si hay que tomar en cuenta es que necesitas pagar una suscripción mensual pero definitivamente lo vale
