I have this on my little escape artist. We live out in the country and sometimes he gets away and chases deer and squirrels up into the hills behind our home. It is helpful to know that he is not running toward the roads where he could be hit by a car. I love the fact that I can upload a picture of him and it shows his picture and location on the map. The activity tracking is nice as well. It does require charging a little more than once per week, but it does signal you when the battery is low, so you can put it on the charger. It also lets you know when the battery is charged, so you can put it back on your dog. It does take several minutes, before it alerts you of an "escape", but I usually don't need notification of that. I am generally with him when he runs off. People always ask me if it is a shock collar and when I tell them what it is, they think it is totally cool and they want to know how to get one. If he were to get hurt on one of these excursions, it would totally save his life, because I would be able to find him if he couldn't get back to me. The monthly fee is totally worth it.

We love this device as it gives us peace of mind knowing we can always find our Havanese. Chanel loves to run and will do so every chance she gets and then it's a game to her when we try to capture her. At least now we know we can track her wherever she decides to go. The only advise is to try and make the system activate the moment she leaves the zone. This way we know right away she is on the run; someday that eleven minute delay may be the difference in finding her.

We recently had our first "adventure" using the system. The map mapping was exactly where our dog felt the need to wonder at 4am. I couldn't be happier with the service. I wish I could afford to do it for all our dogs. There should be a multi-dog discount ;-)

I love Whistle. I especially like it when I leave my dog with a friend when I'm out of town as I can see when he leaves and returns to his zone. I make sure to invite my friend as an "owner" of my dog so in the worst case scenario if the dog got out my friend would know where to go look for him. I also like just the daily notifications that he's in the zone or out of the zone when my husband walks him. It's comforting and fun to see where he is.

The great: when our young lab catches a scent and runs off chasing it, it's usually very easy to figure out where he went and run him down. Just pull up the app on your cell phone and track the dog. The battery usually lasts about a week and you get plenty of warning that it's getting low. Caveats: If the dog is very close but out of sight, it will tell you that he's still in the home zone. Occasionally he leaves the zone (which is a little large) before the tracker updates again. When tracking, it updates about every 3 minutes, and this young dog can cover a lot of ground in 3 minutes. You need to make sure that you get good coverage from Verizon in your area, because that's the cell service this uses. On the whole, this is a great product, and we've recommended it to several friends. I would buy it again.

I have had a Tagg/Whistle tracker on my bolting Schnauzer for about four years. In every case that I had contact with Whistle, in set up, repair/replace and general questions about the tracking service, they have been positive, responsive, and very concerned with my pet's welfare. I can only say this was the best gift that was ever given to Minnee and I.

My cat travels. A lot. Such a relief to know where he is, especially when it's time to come in for the night and leave the great outdoors to the coyotes. Customer Service has always been concerned, helpful and responsive.

Both my dogs have whistle collars and it provides a great layer of security on top of my electric fence. I can easily track my dogs location and have sued it successfully to follow one of my dogs through the woods when she got away from me. Very reliable and easy to use.
