Yeah, the Tracki GPS right? Definitely one of my favorite tech buys for my furry buddy. The size of the device is really fitting, it’s barely noticeable on Fido’s collar, which was quite a relief because I was worried it would bother him initially. Durability-wise, it can withstand most dog related shenanigans…I mean this thing survived when Fido decided to go for an impromptu swim in the lake last summer! For its price point, I gotta admit, it delivers great value! But remember to check the battery level regularly, as the device won’t notify you when it’s running low – learned this the hard way during our camping trip last month. Anyone else using Tracki have any neat tips or tricks for maximizing battery life?
I must agree with you that Tracki GPS is really convenient for our canine pals, especially those with a serious case of wanderlust. Of course, it’s super compact and certainly durable; my rambunctious lab couldn’t manage to chew it up despite best efforts! Plus, the material is top-notch and lasted well in all weather.
However, if budget is a defining factor, Tractive GPS can be quite an acceptable alternative. It’s slightly larger in size but offers equally accurate tracking options and is water-resistant too, which proved useful on our regular lakeside adventures.
Remember folks, no GPS replaces proper training and monitoring – a well-behaved pooch is always a safe pooch. jsut curious though, has anyone tried any other brands they’d recommend?
Absolutely agree with you on the Tracki GPS, folks. I’ve been using it for around 8 months now with my hyper Labrador, Max. It’s impressive how well this little device holds up amidst all the mud, snow, and occasional chew attempts from Mr. Bouncy Paws. Also kind to the wallet, especially if we consider its durability! One thing I haven’t tested though – have any of you folks tried using it in densely wooded areas? Max and I mostly stick to open parks, but planning a camping trip soon. Would love to hear your experiences!
While I can’t dispute the popularity of Tracki GPS, I’d just like to throw Whistle Go Explore into the mix here. In terms of durability, this GPS device is also top-notch annd even waterproof! And don’t get me started on battery life, it’s amazing. My adventurous Daschund Mix once ventured off into the woods for a day trip and her Whistle stayed powered up throughout. Additionally, it offers comprehensive health monitoring features that are a big plus. Anyone else got experiences with Whistle?
“Ohh, the Tracki GPS? Yeah, it’s fabulous… until it falls off your dog annd you end up tracking down the device instead of Fido! I mean, it’s compact and lightweight – great. But honestly, don’t even get me started on its strap material. It lasted a good 2 months for my husky mix before she shook it right off during a run in the park. Instead of locating her, we had a wild goose chase looking for this tiny bit of tech among the leaves.
I’ve since switched to the Fi collar. Now here’s something that knows how to stay put! Its sturdy build puts Tracki’s durability to shame. Plus, it also happens to be a smart collar – health tracking bonuses all the way – talk about good value! Just remember to size it correctly for your pooch; a loose fit can cause more trouble than you’d anticipate (learned that the hard way!).
Anyone else think Fi might give Tracki a run for thier money?”
Can’t deny the convenience of Tracki GPS but in my view, it has its shortcoming too. The size can be a bit chunky for smaller fur babies and there have been occasional glitches with the app. I had an instance where it showed my Buddy chilling in the middle of the lake. Pretty much had a mini-heart attack.
Now, we’ve switched to Fi Collar and its been serving us just right. It’s sleeker, more durable, and the user interface is top-notch. Plus, the battery life is fantastic – lasts me a good 2 months after full charge. Buddy hardly notices it on him anymore!
Though, don’t forget guys, while technology is great at aiding us, it’s fundamental to train your pooches well for recall. These tools can only help so much if your pup decides on an impromptu adventure! Has anyone had interesting experiences with their GPS trackers?
I’ve been using the Tracki GPS on my Golden Retriever for a good few months now. No doubt, he gives it a hard time, with all his running and romping around! I can confirm the durability is impressive; it has survived many of our outdoor escapades. However, like many have pointed out here, its size does bother my pooch, especially during longer trails. And don’t get me started on the falling off – we’ve had a few close calls! While the pricing falls within an acceptable range for me, it’s definately something to consider when you compare features with other options like Whistle Go Explore or Fitbark GPS. Anyone else had similar experiences with their fur-baby? Or any tips to make it more comfortable for him?
There’s definitely some truuth in the points raised previously about the Tracki GPS – for the bigger dogs, it may come off as a bit too bulky and sometimes it has a tenndency to detach. I’d attest that with my energetic Lab, Benji! In terms of functionality though, I’ve found it to be top-notch – has brown me peace of mind knowing whre Benji is when he’s chasing squirrels in the woods. Additionally, its durability is commendable; that rascal loves roughhousing and splashing in muddy puddles, but despite his repeated efforts, Tracki GPS emerged unscathed each time!
However, the price can be a deterrent for few. To balance this, I’d recommend buying it during holiday season – there are worthwhile discounts available then! Anyone else found good times to snag up deals on these GPS gadgets?
Subject: My Take on Tracki GPS: Great Product But With Room for Some Improvement
So I’ve been using the Tracki GPS for my Labradoodle, Max, for quite a while now. Its durability annd accuracy really stand out, even in heavily wooded areas where we often take our walks. However, I must note that the size is a bit of an issue, especially for dogs on the smaller side like Max.
In terms of material used, it’s certainly robust but can sometimes be slightly uncomfortable for him. It is also towards the pricey end of the spectrum which might deter some potential buyers. That being said, the peace of mind it gives me when taking Max outdoors is definitely worth considering.
All this makes me wonder if there are potentially any mini versions of such GPS trackers available? Or perhaps other owners have already found comfortable ways to fasten these devices to their smaller breed dogs? Enlighten me!
More Than Just a Gadget – Tracki GPS Review
Body: Couldn’t agree more with the folks here praising Tracki GPS. I’ve likewise been using it for my adventurous Bull Terrier, Sparky, who loves to go roaming in our large rural setting. Considering its material and durability, there’s an obvious feel of quality which puts you at ease knowing your fur pal is safe out there. Sure, the price seems a bit steep upfront, but, in the long run, it’s something worth investing in given the peace of mind it offers!
On size aspect, initially Sparky seemed not too comfy with it on – Tracki is on the bigger side after all. I would advise introducing it gradually during walks maybe – that worked well for us! Sparky barely notices it now.
As for improvements, gotta second what some of you have already spoken about – battery life could definitely be better. Here’s hoping Tracki makes adjustments in thier future releases. But overall, can’t fault much else with this wonderful gadget.
Do any of you fellow pupper parents use other features on the app aside from location tracking? We haven’t ventured into them yet, maybe we’re missing out!
My Experience : Tracki GPS For Our Great Dane
I’ve been using the Tracki GPS for a few months now on our Great Dane, Zeus and I feel like it’s quite a solid product. The size fits perfectly on his large collar and durability-wise, it’s been through some messy adventures with zero issues yet. However, I’ve noticed an occasional lag in positioning data, which can be a bit unnerving when you have larger breed dogs that love to explore like ours.
As for the price, it was a bit heftier than other products but considering its sturdy material, I think it’s worth the investment. It doesn’t hurt that it’s really lightweight either; Zeus almost seems to forget its there at times! I would definitely recommend the Tracki GPS for owners with wanderlust pups, just keep in mind of potential delays in positioning. Would be interesting to know if anyone else is experiencing these lags?
Remember though, as great as GPS trackers are, never substitute them for proper dog training and vigilance in open outdoor spaces.
Subject: Re: Tracki GPS Review: How “Great Dane-friendly” Is It, Really?
Aye, I’ve been using the Tracki GPS for a couple of months on my Lab and it’s pretty nifty. But how do you guys reckon this fella would fit on, say, a breed as big as Great Dane? My friend’s been toying with the idea for her big guy, but she’s worried it might be too small or uncomfortable.
My personal experience shows it holds up rather well in terms of durability and tracking accuracy, not to mention the cost ain’t that bad. Just wondering- is there anyone out there who has tried this on an enormous dog like a Dane or a Newfoundland? How’d it go? Any tips for fitting it comfortably? Cheers!
The Bigger Picture of Tracki GPS For Large Breeds
I’ve been using the Tracki GPS for about 4 years now with my St Bernard, and I echo its suitability for large breeds. Its durable material withstands even his rambunctious ways, and surprisingly, it’s not as bulky as you’d think on such a large boy! Regarding price, I consider it money well spent for peace of mind.
Yet, I found the GPS signal to be slightly inconsistent in heavily wooded areas (anyone else had this?). Would love to know how it fares for others in similar environments. Overall though, can’t deny – a great tool especially when we’re on our outdoor adventures. Remember, always check the fit regularly as your dog grows or changes weight – learned that one the hard way!
I’ve got to say, I’m a big fan of the Tracki GPS as well. Been using it with my Rottweiler for the better part of 3 years and it still functions like new. The durable material is perfect for dogs who love to rough house since it has survived my guy’s outdoor excursions easily. Also, I found the size to be compact enough not to be uncomfortable on large breeds.
The mini-story that comes to mind is when Bruno went on an impromptu “adventure” through our neighborhood. The Tracki GPS was instrumental in tracking him down ASAP. It picked up his location almost instantly and guided me straight to him, which ended up being in the bushes just two streets away!
However, I did wonder if anyone else has tried using the geo-fence function? I’ve read mixed reviews online about it and was thinking about giving it a go – any experiences or advice?
I also have a big fur baby (Irish Wolfhound, no less!) and I’ve had no issues with the Tracki GPS. The size is not overwhelming and it attaches easily to any type of collar or harness. Plus, it’s pretty durable – Tobey’s been known to get into some rough and tumble play at the dog park and so far, the tracker has sustained zero damage!
The battery life is also impressive which means less hassle for me – we go on long hikes on the weekends and I don’t think I’ve ever had it run out of power during our adventures. Price-wise? Well worth it for peace of mind.
Only tip I’d offer is make sure you take a little time to properly set up the geo-fences and alerts in the app – will save a lot of potential stress down the line! Hope this helps, fellow large breed owners! Maybe others can share their experience of using Tracki GPS with Great Danes specifically?
