Series 3+ GPS + Health Dog Collar

This is probably my biggest complaint about the app, and I’ve commented on it here several times before. Simply knowing whether or not the dog is with you should only require a Bluetooth connection to the collar, not location. The walk tracking feature needs location since it uses the phone for that

It’s the way the collar works for reliability. The F1 collar specifically, if you’re not connected to the homebase, the collar on the dog does not read the same information. For example, mapping and tracking routes. Most people with these collars are very dedicated to tracking, even when they are wa

Fi collar updates every 1 to 5 minutes. A dog can cover a lot of ground in that time. The Halo updates 20 time a second. That might not be needed depending on what you are looking for and I don't care to track my dog's sleep and activity, but if you are only looking for a GPS collar in case your dog

"mansplaining" like I know, care, or assume what sex/gender you are. If you want to think that's a fence (getting a notification) good for you.

I had ALL of these issues with my Fi collar, I am with you all. I ended up switching to Tractive and it actually works the way you expect. Is it bulky? Yes.

I bought the Fi mini and the gps cartridge fell out of the flimsy rubber holder they sell with the collar. My dog was in a 10 acre safe zone.

Your setup is probably better but requires $35/year subscription to all trails + the interactive option which I’m not familiar with. The lost dog mode is a poor man’s substitute. That being said, I believe the difference between regular and lost dog is the sampling frequency. Like you, I regularly c

I don’t think it would save or find my dog, TBH. She is very prey driven and willfull. She tries to cross a fairlt busy road on our regular walks when her nose tells her to… She yanked the leash out of my hand a year ago and ran a block after a bunny in my suburban neighborhood- I IMMEDIATELY bought

No. Highly do not recommend. I switched to tractive and it seems much better. The Fi collar updated only every few minutes, even with lost dog mode. When you hit lost dog mode in the app it struggles and says can't connect to collar. ... THAT'S THE POINT OF LOST DOG MODE!!! Customer service was not
