Tractive Smart Dog GPS Tracker | Live Pet Tracker with Virtual Fence | Vital Signs Monitoring of Heart & Respiratory Rate | Bark Monitoring | Dog Collar Attachment (Brown)

This is a very good tracker for my small mix dog that weighs 31 lbs. The device fits well on his collar and he doesn't seem to mind wearing it. I am a senior and not real knowledgeable about computers and tech products, but I was able to figure out how to install the app and set everything up using their online directions and the booklet that came with it. I took him for a walk today and it tracked our journey just fine. I opened the Ap on my I Phone and turned on live, and it showed me a map of where my house is, and a red line being drawn that shows where you are walking at that moment. I live in a small town in the California mountains, where sometimes we see and/or hear coyotes, foxes, and an occasional mountain lion and bobcat. At night, sometimes you can hear them. So the threat is real if he were to get out of the yard or lost, and travel up the mountain by himself. This device helps give me peace of mind that if he got out, that it would make it easier to find him in a more timely manner. Happy with my purchase, and just ordered another set for my little Maltese Poodle that weighs 17 lbs. after trying it out.

I’ve had my Tractive GPS for about a year. I recently adopted a 2 year old border collie. I have access to private property for off leash runs in fields and woods and I wanted to make sure I could keep track of my dog. I chose Tractive because of the positive reviews I’d read, the size— not to big not to small-securely fits on a regular collar and some choice of colors. I haven’t been disappointed! Tractive works great in the woods, real time tracking and easy to use. It’s durable, easy to clean, about 3-4 weeks between charges and I use it daily for a few hours. It’s fully met my needs plus has many features I haven’t used yet . I’ve enjoyed not just being able to keep track of my dog on hikes but also seeing how much in mileage he runs on each hike and seeing his patterns of where he likes to go in the woods when I can’t see him. Highly recommend. This is Ludwig. ❤️

ANOTHER UPDATE: Unlike every other iPhone app that has in-app purchases, Tractive doesn't offer a free trial period. Silly me. I'm so comfortable purchasing from Apple's App Store, I never noticed there's no free trial. In order to connect the app, you give them a credit card #. Fine. Normal. But there's no trial period. Tractive charged $156.00 on day one. When the device turned out to be defective (and the only way to know was to activate the so-called GPS) they're like "HAHA, GOTCHA!!!' I didn't notice the charge on my credit card until a couple of months after I had purchased AND returned AND reported it was utterly useless as a tracker. I disputed the charge. They had the gall to dispute my dispute by saying my credit card was good. They sound like a 5-year-old justifying stealing candy because it was within reach at the checkout lane. They sent the bank a completely irrelevant screenshot of someone's 5-star review (not on Amazon) of a $49 cat collar, saying it was an example of a product description "presented to the cardholder before they completed the transaction. Dig a little and it turns out to be a celebrity endorsement. Had nothing to do with a 12-month subscription that must be paid before the device can be activated. Which is exactly how the App Store works, but the sub can be canceled during a trial period. And of course Amazon has a 30-day return period, even if you don't like the color. But in my case it didn't perform as claimed. Even worse: I went to purchase a Whistle Tracker, which I had several years ago. Great product, great phone service, and month-to-month cellular. Plus their site tracked the dog 24 hours showing the level of activity. (Came in handy when my neighbor accused my dog of barking for hours under his bedroom window, and the Whistle showed she was inside asleep the whole time.) Well, don't buy that either because Tractive has acquired the company. They've no doubt turned it into the same garbage as Tractive. UPDATE: TRACKER SHOWING PET IS IN HOME ZONE. IN ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD. SHE IS RIGHT HERE WITH ME. This gadget is worse than useless. I am returning, and purchasing a different brand. I am infuriated. They make a product for protecting pets, but this company doesn't seem to care about pets. My dog was rescued from horrific conditions. I adopted her and have been working hard to keep her safe, trained, well-fed, and treated like a family member. She's my companion and protector and I AM HERS! A week ago she figured out how to escape the gate and went on quite an excursion through the neighborhood. I had an Apple AirTag on her collar, from my deceased 16-year-old dog which was enough. But AirTags don't show in the FindMy app unless it's not moving. AirTags also need to ping off other iPhones. This is a young, strong, very active dog. After chasing her for an hour in 90º heat, I got a call from someone whom she had approached. (Putting one's phone number on the collar in big numbers is the best when you have a pet who never met a stranger. I went straight to Amazon and ordered this tracker. It arrived in about a week. I set it up yesterday. Today, she escaped again. I normally don't review until I have a lot of experience with a purchase. I live on a half acre. Apparently that's too small to create a geofence, Maybe there's a way to alter it. But I was out looking for her while the app was telling me she's safe at home. I spotted her in my next door neighbor's heavily wooded yard. Then the next yard and the next. The homeowner was just getting home and got out of the car to pick up her mail. I yelled. She spotted my dog and spoke in a friendly way, causing the dog to come to her. (Luckily she likes both dogs and humans.) However, this is not what I signed up for. There is no way except email to contact this company. Fine for most electronic gadgets, but unacceptable to find a lost pet who is in danger of getting hit by a car. There is no way to draw a geofence that is accurate and useful. Tractive is well-aware their devices are not reliable. They make their money scamming people. I disputed the charge, since I had returned the item. They disputed my dispute. I've disputed their nonsensical dispute. Update to follow. Also filing a complaint with the App Store.

We are extremely pleased. The location is accurate and in real time. Our fur baby is 11lbs and it appears that it is comfortable for him when he is wearing it. We put it on whenever he is outside and have had zero issues. We have recommended it to family members and a neighbor who are all as equally pleased as we are. We strongly recommend it.

The location tracking on this GPS tracker is very accurate and provides excellent data on my dog's activity — including movement patterns, rest periods, and daily activity levels. It's been a great tool for keeping tabs on my dog and understanding his behavior throughout the day. The app is intuitive and the live tracking feature works really well most of the time. However, there are occasional moments where the tracker shows no signal for no apparent reason, which can be a bit frustrating when you want real-time updates. It doesn't happen constantly, but it's noticeable enough to mention. Overall, it's a solid product that delivers on its core promise — I just hope future firmware updates can address the random signal drops.

I recently started using the Tractive GPS Dog Tracker for my dog, and overall I’ve been really impressed! Setup was quick and easy, and the app is very user-friendly—even if you’re not super tech-savvy. I love being able to track my dog’s location in real time, especially when we’re out and about or at events. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing I can check exactly where she is at any moment. One of my favorite features is the virtual fence. I get instant alerts if my dog leaves a designated safe zone, which is a huge plus for safety. The activity tracking is also a nice bonus—it’s fun to see how active my pup is throughout the day. Battery life has been pretty solid for me, and the device itself seems durable and lightweight enough that my dog doesn’t mind wearing it. The only thing to keep in mind is that it does require a subscription for full functionality, but honestly, for the peace of mind it provides, I think it’s worth it. Overall, I would definitely recommend the Tractive GPS tracker to any dog owner—especially if you have an adventurous pup or just want that extra layer of security. 🐶📍

My dog is an eloper. Let’s start there. 😂 I purchased this Tractive GPS Tracker about six months ago. We live in Mississippi, and while the part of MS we live in is not necessarily rural, I had talked with friends who had been unimpressed with other brands of tracking devices specifically because they did not work well outside of a city setting. This tracker has worked well for us more than once! I like that the app lets you track their movements once you get the notification that they have left their safe zone, and I do feel like it’s easy to set up. I like that you can put it on your existing collar (because I put a lot of thought into buying a collar that fits my dog’s personality and I didn’t want to have to jeopardize that or have him wear two collars). The size, design, and fit of the tracker are good. It also tracks a lot of your dog’s vitals, activity, sleep, etc., and that’s cool, but I don’t use it for that purpose. However, if you are interested in that, it is definitely a cool feature. My main complaint is that the tracker does take several minutes to alert you when your dog leaves the defined safe zone. This is the only negative factor, but it’s so important that it causes me to remove stars from my rating. Five to seven minutes of your dog being outside of their safe zone without being alerted is way too long, and that’s about how long it has taken to get a notification consistently.

After lots of research I settled on Tractive for our two dogs, and I'm thrilled with the product. I generally don't like subscriptions, so I considered subscription-free options, but they either didn't offer reliable coverage (satellite) or only provided direction/distance (hand held RF controller - you really want a map that you can see your dogs on). I was concerned about battery life, not wanting to have to charge the trackers every day or two, and it turns out the Tractive battery life is AWESOME. Our two very active dogs have gone one week and the battery is still at 50%. I believe the low power mode (based on low activity and using home wifi) is a big part of that. We have a lake house with many unfenced acres (the real reason for this purchase) which doesn't have wifi, so we bought the Tractiv base station to save power (just like home wifi) and I believe that really helps. Our dogs come home wet and muddy from their adventures, and we really appreciate the waterproof nature of product. We are so happy to be able to know where our dogs' ventures are taking them! OK, it's a couple months later and I still love this product! The battery life continues to be about two weeks. Two more things to share: 1. Last year I bought and then returned a couple of very expensive tracking/training collars for our two dogs. The high cost (one time and monthly) and frequent battery charging was just too much. Those collars had geofencing which I thought we would need, but really we just want to be able to know where our dogs are, so I don't miss those extra features. If you are looking for an "invisible fence" solution then you should look at those products, otherwise Tractiv is a much better option. 2. I also love the light on the Tractiv that I can turn on/off from the app. When we let our dogs out at night it's so nice to just be able to watch them wander and keep them close, and if they get far at night and we call them home it's such a joy to see the light coming to us through the woods (and faster than the GPS locator, which might take a minute or two to give a location).

When our dog ran off during a walk, it was one of those moments that makes your heart stop. She had an Apple AirTag on her collar, but once she darted into the thick brush, the AirTag was basically useless without a nearby phone to ping off. That experience made it clear we needed something with real GPS tracking. Enter the Tractive Smart GPS Tracker, and honestly, it’s been a game changer. The device gives you live tracking that’s accurate down to a few metres, even in wooded areas. You can follow your dog’s movements in real time through the app, and it updates constantly without the lag we had with other devices. The virtual fence feature is another standout. You can set a safe zone around your home or favourite walking area, and the moment your dog crosses that invisible boundary, you get an alert. It’s quick, reliable, and gives huge peace of mind. Beyond tracking, the health and activity reports are surprisingly useful. It logs your dog’s daily movement, rest, and overall activity level, almost like a fitness tracker for pets. It’s a nice bonus to see patterns that help you understand their habits better. The device itself is lightweight, waterproof, and easy to attach to a collar. Battery life is solid, and the subscription plan for GPS service feels worth every cent for the reliability it brings. After trying both an AirTag and the Tractive, I can say there’s no comparison. The Tractive Smart GPS Tracker is designed for pets, and it shows in every feature. I 100% recommend it for anyone with a dog who loves to explore—or one that’s just a little too fast when they see a squirrel.

Très bon outil si votre chien est fugueur. L’application est bien faite. Abonnement à 5€ par mois pour 2 ans. Très léger. Mon Border le supporte sans problème. La batterie tient depuis 1 semaine et est encore à 50%. Outil imbattable à ce prix.

I find Tractive the most accurate & secure device for us. The mapping is clear & shows where they’ve been too. We are in a rural zone & it has been the only reliable method we’ve found. It’s good to be able set varying fence zones.

Deze aangeschaft voor mijn adoptiehond van 6 maanden oud. Deze is nog angstig en ik wil haar ten alle tijden kunnen volgen. Voor Tractive gekozen vanwege de vele positieve reviews. Na twee weken gebruik, kan ik me daar bij aansluiten. Fijne en eenvoudig te gebruiken app ook. 5 sterren wat mij betreft!
