It’s a little pricey, but I’ve really liked the Dogtra Pathfinder 2 system for my coonhound Otis. We like to ramble around the woods and he’s a joy to be with out in nature off leash. Pathfinder 2 works with your cell phone to provide a GPS location AND has a Mohrs radio antenna so that even in area

My boy would squeeze under the fence I put it in when we first moved out to a more rural area. I bought the Dogtra Pathfinder 2 so I could at least know where he was when he got out, and it's phenomenal and highly accurate (updates every 2 seconds with a 9+ mile range). I've also had vizslas for 18

Dogtra Pathfinder2. No subscription required. Tried Garmin Alpha too as we wear Garmin watches plus the general reputation. Much preferred this system and it's a fraction of the price too. We don't hunt and only have one large dog. My husband is a runner and we have virtually no cell reception at ou

I moved over to the Dogtra Pathfinder 2 collar system. I have been using it for the last 3 months and I find it to be quite adequate for my two birddogs and at half the price of the Garmin. The only downside I find which I believe is common with any tracking system is the battery drain on the phone

I use Tractive for gps since it has cellular, this is great for dogs who run far - you get notified when they leave the area and you can track them as long as you & them have cell service. Since I’m home I also use the Dogtra Pathfinder 2 hunting collar. It uses radio frequencies instead of cellular

This may not be the answer youre looking for but ill share anyway. My wife and I and our 2 v's also live on 40 acres of non viszla proof fenced property and also have zero cell service. We wanted the dogs to be able to roam the property and play but not run off and didn't want to spend 40k putting m

Yeah so using one of the mentioned gps collars or buried wire collars I would set the boundary a good distance back. That way she can’t even get near it. The gps collar is the most customizable, least cost prohibitive and some of them even give you data / notifications (either real time or reviewing

These 3 are very different products. It really depends on what you are specifically looking for the product to achieve for you. If you want to check in on your dog remotely like if you are at work etc. then you will have to pay for a LTE based unit (Halo/Spot-on). This means you will be paying a mon
