Almost learned the hard way that self-closing gates aren’t foolproof
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

E collar or GPS collar for running off?
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

GPS Tracker
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

Tracker problems for my rescue dog

tracking collar rec
It really depends on your budget. If you want something premium, then Garmin Alpha 10 might be one of the better options on the market. But you have to consider a price of $400 for the handheld, plus some $200 for the collar. What you get is a compact device that fits in your pocket and points you t

GPS tracker for non-hunters
Dogtra pathfinder 2. Works great. App takes a little to get use to. Works without cell service, just download map locations.

Question about LGD tracking and training collars.
We use both a Tractive system and a Dogtra Pathfinder 2. Tractive is used when we aren’t home (or overnight on puppy) and the pathfinder is used when I’m home as it requires a cell phone to do the tracking aspect (fencing corrections work without phone). Tractive requires cell service, and tracks as

Invisible Fence
We have 40 acres and one of our two viszlas we have had trouble with him running off the property. We did not want to pay for a subscription for the service when we were shopping GPS collars. We went with the Dogtra Pathfinder 2 e fence collars. They use GPS, we live far out in the country and don't

My reason I'd NEVER buy another tractive collar / subscription
For 2 years now I have been using Dogtra Pathfinder 2 for my pup (dog now). She’s 115lb and the cheaper mini version works great. It’s super accurate with no subscription fees. The only downsides are I have to turn it off while she’s in the house because of gps interference, and I need to charge it

Let's talk E-collars.
I have the Dogtra Just Right e collar, it's 3 years old, it had a little less range than others but it was a better price. My dog is stubborn and when he gets on a scent, especially if he's trying to relocate a bird, recall is pretty much gone but the collar gets through to him if he's in range. Ove
