Will The Tractive GPS Dog Tracker Find My Dog Out On The Hills. (FULL TEST) 

Finally an intelligent and real world review 😊 thank you

A brilliant and indepth review. Been trying decide for a while now which one to get, this video has definitely helped me pick which one. Thanks

Thanks. Nice dog too!

Nice one 👍 been towing and throwing about getting one of these after hearing some bad things. Sounds like a lot of people that have one just don't use it right. So might still get one.

Thanks for the video! I've been weighing up the options for a gps tracker for my new Shiba Inu pup, she's incredibly brave for such a young dog and does love to run off. Funnily enough, while I've not tested your lightning bolt example with my old Collie, I have (accidentally!) tested your herd of deer example as they roam the tracks that I walk on daily and she actually came back when she started to chase them and I called her. I am not so confident with the Shiba. Not at all. And honestly, I think the collie coming back was something of a fluke! Not a test I'd like to repeat!!! 😂😂 My only concern with the Shiba is the device might be a bit large for her as she's still only a pup!

So Glen Affric…. One of many examples :-) … no reception till on top of a Munro. So you are in the glens or even half way up. Lost dog… you have to climb to the top of a Munro to locate dog … … back out of reception to try and find dog.. lose dog location again if dog has moved which is very likely. Have to climb high again… rinse and repeat. Exhausted, I would be… . I do like the review tho and I would consider a tractive for areas with guaranteed signal. As I said on the munros for dogs page. Having walked the length of Scotland including the cape wrath trail and done most of the munros (more than once). I would respectfully disagree on the regular phone signal. Where I have been there can be a couple of days without it and that’s even going high. I had none at 800 metres behind the saddle :-). I’ll stick with the Garmin… I’ve had it in deep cover, crap weather , mountainous terrain and like to see my dogs location regardless of a phone signal. Pity tractive asks for a subscription cos it would be handy for local walks . The garmin collar is a bit well… obvious. I have to say though you speak a lot of sense re the dogs on hills :-). I’m still up for a real world test with the garmin in a guaranteed no signal area for sustained time .

Thank you. A really informative and entertaining video. The star of course was Cody! Thanks for all the ideas re using these to best advantage. I have a Tractive and there are some things I hadn’t thought of. Thanks also for debunking the myths. Personally I can’t stand the smug arrogance of the 100% recall brigade. Like their dog is some kind of programmable machine or something.

According to Tractive their Tracker uses the 2G Mobile network which is currently being decommissioned in the UK !

I'm in the process of tracking my dog with Tractive and my dog's location is very slow to update, do you have a similar situation?

Big question is, is it worth the £50 plus £84 a year do you still use it?

Cody is a gorgeous boy

The problem with your simulated "finding" Cody is, Cody never left your side. I don't understand how this app can lead you to your lost dog, especially when you see your position and the dog's position on a map that lacks any reference points like shorelines and roads. Sometimes the blue dot indicating my current position is accompanied by an arrow that directs me to the dog. But often the arrow is missing, and I have no indication where to go while in the woods.
