Letting a cat outside for the first time. When did you take off the training wheels?

Noodle wears a tractive gps too and its peace of mind! I think I only fully relaxed when I realised he is a little clock himself. He leaves ar 8:30, comes back for nibbles at 10, leaves at 11, comes back ar 13:00 for lunch, leaves right after and its home 16:00 for dinner. Every single day. We never

Found!

Thank you for welcoming her to your life☺️ You won't regret it🩷 They are the best. A couple of tips that works for me: 1- If she starts biting or is a troublemaker chances are she needs to take a nap, especially after a walk. Beagles need to sleep more bc they are on a detective mission 24/7 (aka sni

AirTag/tracker PSA!

I tried the Tractive, but it had to be charged almost daily; and having to take it on & off so much was bound to leave them without when it was needed! The AirTag battery, on the other hand, lasts for like 6 months. I know they aren’t the same thing, and that’s why my dogs both have Fi GPS trackers.

[Thursday] General Discussion - 09 July 2026

Irrational anger of the day: So for the new pup we got them a Tractive GPS pet tracker that also tracks their activity and health and such. There's a leader board for activity and while Jin is currently tops on the local leader board (go boy!) on the global leader board there are 3 HORSES IN THE TOP

So lurchers have to be on a lead or in a 6’ fence when outside?

I have an (american) lurcher, my neighbor adopted a lurcher and fostered two others, and I've adopted two greyhounds and fostered 2 others. In my experience, a four foot fence is fine. Honestly a 3 foot is fine, but the lurcher adoption people told me: "it doesn't occur to most greyhounds to jump a

Iggy Recall

Wilson was brilliant with recall when he was a puppy. I trained it as early as possible and, if I’m honest, I got a bit smug when I saw other dogs ignoring their owners. Then he hit about 6–7 months old and one day I called him… and he just looked at me. I’d never seen that expression before, but so

Cat 6 mini - false tracking data (???)

The new cat 6 mini has atrocious GPS. When it doesnt get GPS connection (which is most of the time tbh) - live tracking will just keep stationary at the last sent location without actually updating the GPS. So considering that, your tracker might as well be 10 minutes of cat walking away from your p

Is the cat 6 mini GPS suppose to be like this?

Yeah if it has poor GPS signal it eats through battery and gives spurious location. And never trust the blue shaded "accuracy" circle, I don't think tractive engineers understand what it's meant to represent

UPDATE: Leaving our cat behind...

Huge advice to you OP: Is not over yet! Her instincts will push her to flee for a long time. My sweet gal escaped a couple of times and the last time I was able to capture her for good took 6 months. She’s now used to my apartment and has been indoors for 2 years but the first few months were diffic

i’m thinking of getting a dog tracker but i don’t know if it’s a good idea

I think it would be helpful to research reasonable expectations for a GPS tracker. For example, with Tractive (and many others), your home wifi may be set up as a power-saving zone. Great for battery life and makes sense, because you don't need it pinging all the time when your pet is at home, right
