Tractive XL Smart Dog GPS Tracker | Live Pet Tracker with Virtual Fence | Vital Signs Monitoring of Heart & Respiratory Rate | Up to 1-Month Battery Life | Dog Collar Attachment (Green)

Tractive has a great pet tracker for our much loved Chesapeake Bay Retriever. It fits well on his collar, is accurate, waterproof and is great value for the money. The app is very easy to use to create our pet's profile, establish multiple safe zones (residences) and to provide us with our pet's activity levels compared with similar breeds who wear a Tractive device. We charge it every two weeks. It's also been helpful for us to track where our pet is while traveling by vehicle.

My doggos have been up on Tractive since it first came out (the buzzer function was added after I suggested it in an email reply to a real Rep asking how things were going), and just upgraded my 2 Malligators to XLs because my soon to be ex wife was stalking me with the old ones. Battery life is stellar, especially in home WiFi zones, and the function is as reliable as it's always been if not better. I use Velcro to attach it between layers of a tactical collar along with the silicone it comes with and it stands up to constant wrestling from two bite trained Malinois.Tractive is awesome and I can't recommend it enough if you have dogs that may wander. App is great, customer service is top notch from Austrians that work for the company and care about their product, and replacement is easy with no questions asked. These things are worth every penny and work really well.

Does a great job overall at tracking my hounds. I will say that I recently found out that it doesn't work when my hound is tunneling underground, but that's to be expected in a 10+ foot long tunnel, and is only a problem if you have a tunneling dog 🙄. Buildings and heavy tree cover in the summer can cause issues with connectivity, but that's also understandable when you live in the woods. I live in the middle of nowhere with very little to no cell reception, yet I can still track my dogs all over our property (35 acres), at our cabin on the lake, and at my parents farm in Northern Minnesota (also in the middle of nowhere).We do a lot of ice fishing and we're able to track them easily on and around the frozen lake. Sometimes if it's really cold and we're outside for a while, the extreme temp will cause the tracker to glitch, but I'm talking below -10°F. Once, my dog's collar fell off of her while she was wrestling with her brother in a blizzard on the lake, and I was able to find it (with the tracker on it) the next morning, even though the battery had died overnight. Since it hadn't moved after it fell off, its last location was saved and I was able to easily retrieve it using the app. I had to dig in the snow for it a little bit, but the location was accurate and I was able to find it relatively quickly.One of my dogs likes to pull the other by the collar and frequent bites the tracker, but it keeps working, which I find very impressive. We live off a busy highway, the driveway is about 1/4 mile long, and the "home" zone and "no go" zones with their alerts have helped us keep the dogs off the road and helps keep them alive. They're really good at knowing not to go that direction, but hound's noses tend to lead them astray, especially if there's roadkill involved. It definitely gives me peace of mind knowing that I'll be alerted almost immediately if they've wandered too far in that direction.I've been using the old version of the tracker for a little over a year, and now I've had this version for about a month and the battery life on this version is awesome. It's been lasting several days at a time, whereas we were having to charge the old version almost every day. The new version is larger than the old one, but doesn't seem to bother the dogs at all.

Love the Safety on this ..Nothing will work until the buttons on the remote are pushed !! I do like the correcting System,we have had this for 6 months now .I don’t believe in leaving a review when you just review something ! Really,how can you ? Ok ,I got the 2 dog collar system …They recommend Three Different Stages for training ..only if you need them ..The first stage ..You have different beep variations as they recommend to start as a warning when your pet does something wrong, you can adjust the different levels on each setting as how strong you need it for your pet to respondThen if your pet doesn’t listen to the beeping ,they recommend,the next step be the vibrations..with also different levels ,but doesn’t hurt them …The Third is the Shock ,,they also send rubber caps to cover the metal probes,so it doesn’t hurt them as much ,but I like you don’t have to shock them.if choose not to use these setting !! All these choices are made only by the master ,none are automatically gonna to do anything to your pet ,until a human presses a button on the remote control !! Plus I’m a little hard at seeing ,and I can clearly see and know what I’m doing with this remote ,that’s A Winner for me.Now ,it’s getting to the point where all I have to do is show them the remote ,and they listen !! Also I have had to get on Amazon ,and order a replacement remote that disappeared and the instructions is with the ordering details on here ,so no need for waiting on long phone calls ,for customer service ..I really like this company has replacements for all the devices needs ,and I don’t have to,order the whole package again ,just because I lost the charger …I still recommend the system ,and hope the company would read about what we ask for the upgrade the collar as our dogs don’t need to wear two collars,it’s just ;;to much weight on their neckWe had to replace our collar ,because our puppy outgrew the original,only because our fault ,as my husband cut it short,so don’t do what we did .Though I don’t like this band though ,we are always having to tighten it up ,it doesn’t have a clip w/ holes to keep it in place in the size you want ,nor does it have a leash clip Qhich means your puppy or dog has to have 2 collars at the same time !! I don’t like that at all !!So just a quick recap. Though I do like the correcting System,it works very well,You have different beeps ,first stage then vibrations the second ,the third is shock ,of course is only by your choice All these choices are made only by the master ,none are automatic ,I can see it well ,,that’s what I like most my Fur baby is safe !! I recommend the system .I left one star off because of always having to tighten up the collar and that it has no clip for a leash .This should be made for dogs so they don’t have to wear multiple collars. So I’m hoping the company hears our request and upgrades the collar for ourLovable Fur Family soon and make this a Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Training Device !!I will update my review if anything changes.Have a Good Day with all Dogs !!
