We bought the tracktive after your first video. Mentioned you and your channel during one of our videos. Thank you for the suggestions and update. My wife Jen loves all the tracking features it provides like you showed. Love the channel
I had the previous Tractive version for about 3 yrs and it worked great. This new version works as well. I like the rubber clip. My lab plays hard with other dogs so I suggest using a zip tie to also help secure the device to the collar. The rubber clip can easily come off it it gets hung up on a branch.
Ladies slippers in orchid family, who knew? Used to see them up north in Laurentians between Mont St. Sauveur & Tremblant! Great product review, has so many features like a fit bit as well! Hadn't heard of this brand. Will share in group, where I often hear about & search for lost dogs & recommend these, especially to huskey owners! Glad Royce is almost fully recovered!
So glad I came across your reviews of tractive! I am planning a trip and I am taking my dog with me and I may need to leave him alone for a few hours on an airbnb or hotel room so I definitely want to keep track of his location. I have read so many mixed reviews about it but I guess having some GPS tracker is better than not having any at all.
It's worth having if your dog gets out of the yard you get an alert and than another alert if he's like 20ft outside the yard also in a forest if your hiking and your dog gets lost no problem amazing piece of mind
The wifi battery saver is great you set up a Perimeter Like your fence in your yard, if they get through the fence in your yard, you'll get an alert. And then if they exceed, like, say, 20 feet, you'll get a secondary alert telling you, your dog is out of your yard immediately. That's so amazing and crucial.
I had an elderly client who hired a young man to walk her dog. One day she decided to go to the store and saw the young man and her dog. They were standing on the sidewalk just around the corner from her house. He was playing on his phone, waiting to return the dog and get paid. Needless to say he lost the job. She would have loved to have had one of these!
I've just got my newest puppy - just 2 days (golden retriever named, his name is The Great Gazzo - I'm already already calling him Zoo-ey). I'm so much in love with this little bundle of affection that if if I had a cabin this product would be my next purchase. They need the freedom to be doggies, but also we need to protect them as much as possible. Great information Jen, thx.
I bet he's a big boy now! Did you ever get a tracker for him? You sound like a great doggie daddy! I hope y'all love each other as much as me and mine does. Be safe.
Outside of the clip breaking which do you prefer, the Findster or the Tractive? Cell service can be spotty in the woods so trying to figure which is the best option for when camping with my dog.
Do they give multiple pet discount for the monitoring software ? Wherever you are , there’s a lot of mosquitos. Please make sure you have heartworm prevention and the leptospirosis vaccine for your pets there. Mosquitos suck !! Thanks
Just bought this a few days ago, got premium care plan, worked for a day. Now, it is disconnecting from my Bluetooth for no fault of mine. My phone is a brand new iPhone 15 pro, I bought 3 weeks ago. The moment he leaves the house, it disconnects. I had to email Tractive. Still waiting. No number to call. We’ll see. What is frustrating is that none of the reviews cover issues like this.
Difficult to get customer service help!! I’m not staying connected to gps. If I reset it, it works for a few min and then back on red. Do you have any suggestions?
Quand vois tous ces moutiques et qu'elle dit que c'est une belle journée pour se promener... je doute que sa description du tracker soit d'un bon conseil 😅
I record my walks on Apple Watch and had wondered how far the dog was walking compared to me, 6month old springer spaniel who runs round like his life depends on it, convinced he was covering many more miles than me i bought the tractive. To my surprise the distance covered on my watch was the same as the distance the dog had covered on the tractive app. Clearly not possible given that the dog zig zags everywhere darts off then darts back to me absolutely covering many more steps than i am. No idea why this isn’t accurate but given that it didnt answer the question on how far the dog is covering i returned the item after 3 days of use. The walks were done in areas of good gps signal with no dips in connection. I plan to attach the Apple Watch to the dog start the workout app and see what results that gives. The device does give other info, the sleep was surprisingly accurate, for some this will be beneficial but for me didnt provide the info i was looking for. To sum up if you want an accurate number for distance covered by the dog in relation the the distance you have covered this will sadly not provide it.
I've had this for about 2 years for my cat. Lately I've had trouble with it, not logging in. can't find signal. I tried support to help me. followed their instructions. won't work properly. I did everything they asked. It dropped out in the middle of my walk, wouldn't log back in, giving inaccurate readings. says the cat is across the street, he's sleeping in his cat tree in the house. Finally I had enough and asked for a refund of my 2 year subscription. Got some supervisor name Ivana, totally useless. No help, no answers. I guess the system is old, 2 years old. So I tried to cancel my subscription however it makes it extremely difficult to do so. I've had enough, buying something else. Grade 8 science project. I.T. dial up prodigies don't know what their doing. Useless!
I found these thing to be total garbage. I broke 2 giving baths to my dogs. Not waterproof at all and no customer support. Try and find an actual phone number for this sham company, bet you can't because they don't stand behind their product. Get it wet and the power button rusts shut and then they want you to buy a new one and wont refund your subscription even though they can see the traker is offline... Garbage!
Absolutely useless! Bought one in the UK recently, and the gps wouldn't work if we were within 25m of trees or building. The cell signal wouldn't connect (it's 2g, which has now been switched off by most operators) and Bluetooth wouldn't connect even though my dog was on lead and standing right next to me! Tractive customer service was appalling so the tracker was returned for a full refund after one week.
A very useful product for many dog owners.

Everything looks so green and so beautiful! That tractor is a pretty cool set-up for sure!! Thanks for the update on it!!! 🌱☘🌲🌳🌿🍀🍃
This is a great review! If I get another dog I'll definitely consider this one.
😊👍

What a scumbag if you choose to walk animals do your job they need exercise.... so horrible people trying to take advantage of elder people .😡🤬

Great stuff CJ,but all I have to do is look and see which couch the blanket is on and I’ll find the dog lol. 👍😃✌️
Good review, Jen. I could see the great value of this device. I did lose a dog and would not want that to happen again.
This is a great review, thanks a million!
Great 1 Year Update Thanks Jen ATB T God Bless

Can you tell me about the buzz feature and the invisible fence
Your text is saying it uses cellular network to track, but in the video (around 00:55) you state it uses satellite. So... both? Or LTE only?
I am so excited to get ours
Do they give multiple pet discount for the monitoring software ? Wherever you are , there’s a lot of mosquitos. Please make sure you have heartworm prevention and the leptospirosis vaccine for your pets there. Mosquitos suck !! Thanks
I am really interested in if this has a dog fence feature. I don't want to go find my pet, i want my pet to stay in the yard.
how do you lose a gps tracker 😐

Nice review, but OMG those flying bugs? Please tell me they aren't mosquitoes!!
Can you use this in the Philippines
Is Royce a Bouvier? I have 6 and 6 tractives😊
Wow!! Sounds like a great household!! Yes, he is a bouvier. He comes on all my adventures..
Difficult to get customer service help!!
I’m not staying connected to gps. If I reset it, it works for a few min and then back on red. Do you have any suggestions?
I would delete the app and reinstall it. Old phone? Check your settings and make sure your phone has permission to run it
Any suggestions for GPS trackers if you live somewhere without a dependable cellular signal?
Yes, check out my video here: th-cam.com/video/F3ROfpI1vMU/w-d-xo.html
@@TheWildYam Thank you!!
Thank you!
Cannot contact customer support.

I did have 2 months of perfect gps connection.

Yea it doesn't work for me. Gps completely useless. Only works in cellular. Barely updates.
Quand vois tous ces moutiques et qu'elle dit que c'est une belle journée pour se promener... je doute que sa description du tracker soit d'un bon conseil 😅
48 hour battery but it works

I bought mine yesterday and having the same issues.
@@RenM908 they replaced mine, it works great now. drain the battery, let it die out, then recharge. that may work, if not contact them.

Don't buy. Completely worthless.

400 meters off. Worthless. Don't buy.
