My dog was recently diagnosed with central blindness. Having lived on a farm her whole life, she was used to a fair amount of freedom. After her diagnosis, I didn’t want to completely take her freedom away, but I also worried about her losing her bearings and wandering off. After doing a fair amount of research into tracking devices, I came upon the Whistle 3 and decided to give it a try. I can honestly say that so far I have been very impressed! I’m not a very tech-savy person, but the app was super easy to install and use, and has many neat functions, even outside of notifying me when she wanders out of her safe zone. I’m starting to wish I had the Whistle years ago to track all the fun excursions we went on together! I also appreciate that I can get text alerts in addition to the notifications through the app; I do not have a smart phone, so that allows me to run the app through a tablet, but still receive notifications on my phone when I’m away from the tablet.. My one and only complaint is the short battery life - I have very weak wifi, so her Whistle has to run primarily off of cellular, which I’m sure is why I have to charge it about every 1.5-2 days. But I do appreciate that I can adjust the duration between updates to conserve battery life if I’d like. Overall, I’ve been very impressed and would definitely recommend this tracker!

I love Whistle. It has given me peace of mind for years for my huskies and other adventuresome dogs! The only beef I have about it is the attachment just does not seem to be really secure. Twice I have bought the latest model, only to have them come off the collar within a few days. Granted my dogs are playing a lot but in 7 years I have not had this problem. However, customer service is second to none so I am still hanging in there. They are super people and very responsive in fixing an issue. Cannot say enough good things about them

So far, we've enjoyed the peace of mind Whistle has provided. However, it's been a learning curve with regard to push notifications & setting our "safe zone" perimeters to minimize "false alarms".

There was an option to text a question. But no one replied after 15 min?

Great little device. Let’s me know where my fur baby is if she gets out. While at work, I know when my husband is walking her and where. The only thing I don’t like, is that it destination figures are way off. It says my dog travel like 5 miles when it wasn’t even a mile.

Only complaint is that it was not clear that the subscription selected and paid after the device was received. If not for that, would have given 5 stars.

Inconsistent on the coupons provided via email got a 15% off while email got $20 off

Very good explanation of the Whistle 3 unit and easy to navigate the website, just wish there would be more detail about the collar. I got one anyway and hope it lives up to my expectations.
