GPS collars/tags…..

[FEETDOWN]

What’s the best one? I wanna buy/subscribe to a service that has a collar or tag so I can keep track of my dog. I tried putting an Apple air tag on her existing collar but it doesn’t work worth a shit. Whatcha got?

Go Johnston on the mutt and tie it to a tree. Problem solved.

Apple air tags are not GPS technology, they are Bluetooth so range is limited to the range of a Bluetooth device, measured in feet. Their technology uses all other iPhones/iPads anonymously to help locate the signal. If you lost your dog in New York city, you'd be able to find it quickly, out in the country not so much unless it ran into some hippy camp.

Whenever I researched a while back it seemed like WHISTLE was the most popular.

Gonna try to help both of us...




For those of you that do have WHISTLE or any of the others, have you ever actually used it? I mean, to find your dog that was 4 miles away, not in your back yard. If so, tell us how it worked.

Looks like with Whistle you have to be in an AT&T coverage area for it to work.

Put a Garmin Astro on the dog and see whether it’s at. Alpha if you want to shock it.

Correct.

I've got one of the Fi Collars and it works well. Keeps track of their location & will notify you when they've left "home". I caught a sale on one and got the collar for $50 I believe, and the monthly isn't bad either.

I have an Fi collar on my dog. Still have to have cell service for GPS but it has been worth it. Only had to track him down with it once. He made it 2 miles from the house and I had him back as quick as I noticed him gone and could get to him in the truck.

I’d rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick
