WhistleReviews of whistle.com

I have used Whistle for a couple of years and have not had any problem. However, without any notice, it altered its location service two weeks ago. Before Whistle broke out each journey the dog took each day away from home and allowed you to see timescripts from the beginning to the end of the journey in six minute intervals. This was very valuable to us since our dog is taken from our home each day for 3 hours to a state park 10 miles away. We could always check to make sure that everything was going as we expected. The Whistle 3 no longer gives the owner that data. Instead you get a composite of all journeys without any breakdown on times. I have never seen a technology product give the consumer less data two years after its original use. It kind of makes me think that Whistle caved into dog walkers and doggie care givers whose activities could be monitored remotely with a fully operational Whistle device. What a terrible corporate decision by Whistle -- screw the consumer to placate the dog walkers!

Have Whistle Go Explore so far so good. Better than the other Whistle. Still have a delay in real time once our puppies leave the zone.

Very good service

So far, so good! I've only had the Whistle 3 days, so we haven't had time to leave the neighborhood yet. It's working so far!

I called Whistle to get more details on the WhistleGo Explore and my call was answered quickly. All my questions were answered and Rakiem gave me additional information he thought would be helpful. When I went on line to place the order, the website was easy to navigate and the order was quick and easy to complete.

The gps device seems to work good but the mounting systems leave much to be desired. The mount sent with the unit depends on a neoprene strap that stretches from one side of the Whistle 3 GPS mount, around the dog collar, and to the other side of the mount. It doesn't last long so expect to order more. There is a replacement mounting system that relies on a plastic piece which snaps into the GPS device mounting base but the combo will only work on thin collars. My dog collars meet the max 1" width requirement but are too thick for the mounting system. I have higher quality collars for my dogs which are thicker and so the mounting system will not work. I spent money for this mounting system which will only work on thin collars. Someone at Whistle seems to have not noticed that dog collars come in more than one thickness. Their website mentions that the mounting system only works on 1" or less wide collars but not mention anything about the thickness of the collar. All of my dog collars are 1" and less in width but are too thick for their mounting system.

I purchased an upgrade device today- smooth transaction except that it did not accept the discount code I had applied. However, online live chat were able to resolve the issue.

Without a doubt, the device lives up the representations in the literature. Our lives are so much better, knowing where Chloe Cat is at all times. The Whistle battery lasts as advertised. Our kitty doesn't mind wearing the new collar with the device because, as smart as she is she knows when it goes on, good thinks happen e.g., she can escape our pool deck. Everything else has failed next to the Whistle Go Explore!
