Fi Series 3 Smart GPS Collar - Review After 6 Months 

😂😂thank you so much!! It was HOT that day!!

thank you for the sub! I'm actually going to do a year update soon! Ill run more tests in various coverage👍

Save your money. I've had two of the fi 3 collars for around eight months. Tracking is terrible. My girlfriends cheap apple air tag tracks 100% better, ANYWHERE. It is a durable/compact unit, but it doesn't do what it should be doing for your money. Junk

Okay, @bearkify I had an AirTag on one of my dogs and it only worked if he was within 50-75 ft. I live in a remote location and there aren’t a lot of other cell phones around. However they might work for you. Mitch, I’ve had a series 2 on one of my dogs and was happy with it. I got another pup who is big enough to roam now. I decided to get a series 3 for him and so far it hasn’t worked any better than the Series 3. It doesn’t “Live” track for me at all. I was really wanting the live track because they’re GSD’s and they can flat cover some ground. I don’t know if I’d trust it for what you’re going to do

With all due respect, if you’re really in the back country as you say, then this fi collar is a POS. You need a legitimate tracking device for your working dog. They’re very costly, but work as described. Look into garmin tracking units for your dog.

Thanks for the comment! I still feel it’s one of the best out there!

That can happen with GPS drift on any GPS indoors. I’d suggest moving your base station closer to where the dog likes to relax. Also increase the size of the safe zone to prevent those alerts. Moving the base station alone was enough to solve my problem

Yea this collar is only as good as the cell service around you. Crowded areas make it challenging.

@JrMedieval what ever kind you buy if you like it reply back on this please Thanks bud

You’re totally right. It is a bit steep! But you do get what you pay for in this category for sure. I have tried a few different collars and this one checks most of my boxes.

Don’t bother. Doesn’t work and customer service is terrible

Email customer service. I had an issue when I was activating my collar as well. It turned out that I had a typo in my email 😂. Customer service fixed it in a day!

I agree. I don’t think there is a perfect collar on the market right now that’s affordable. Maybe one day!

@@lostdownyonder I get the same false alerts on the FI-2 collar that my dog still wears, the past couple of months it's been sending false alerts a couple of times a week. The battery life is terrible, so I only put it on him when we go out running, the rest of the time the collar is on the charger. I'm contemplating upgrading to FI-3, but just not sure it's really worth the money.

My Fi-1 collar did just as good as my FI-3 is doing so if your's isn't broke no need to change@@miladacopeland1943

@@miladacopeland1943 I don’t think it is. I did and I’m a little disappointed

😂basically. It’s still one of the best in the market!!

Did you watch the video? Lol he said it's $192 a year. The only thing he said negative about the app is he lost interest in the dog ranking, then shows the app gets you within 100ft of the tag. He then says it's better than anything else he's tried in the market. Idk dude...definitely feels like you didn't watch the video 😂

Thank you for this!!💯@@DatThangOildDown

I totally get it! It’s definitely not perfect. But it’s better then nothing. They are always improving and updating it so hopefully they will work that bug out.

@@lostdownyonder I don’t know dude, the series 3 doesn’t work any better for me than the 2 does🤷🏻‍♂
