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

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

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

Tractive or Fi dog trackers? Pros and cons?

Tractive pros and cons: Better international coverage if you travel, works just as well in rural and no coverage areas. More affordable monthly subscription, exact prices depends on the plan you pick, cheapest is I think 5 or 6 bucks a month Health monitoring included at base price Updates much fast

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

Dog ran away today. Do I want a Fi, or…?

Had Fi 3 years ago - my experience was horrible with it - beautiful small form factor design and the basic collar was nice, but between the connection issues and the app itself communicating and the actual gps tracks that were more just random straight lines couldn’t track an actual path even if we

Tractive 6 experience?

I have 2 dogs and they both have a tractive 6. I’ve attached it on the handle of his collar, as this collar is too wide, but it fits perfectly fine with his normal sized collar. The positives: It’s accurate, the battery lasts about a week with walks, super quick notifications when they leave the bou

More Cat 6 Mini Shenanigans

It’s hard to say. I’ve tried quite a few trackers over the years, from well-known brands like Kippy to cheaper Chinese models, and they all seem to have the same trade-offs: they're either too bulky, unreliable, or expensive. Each one has its shortcomings, but so far Tractive has been the one that h
