Tractive XL Smart Dog GPS Tracker | Live Pet Tracker with Virtual Fence | Vital Signs Monitoring of Heart & Respiratory Rate | Up to 1-Month Battery Life | Dog Collar Attachment (Green)

Update: Now in my 3rd week with the product and battery life is at 48% on one tracker and 55% on the other tracker with just the initial charge. My dog Tank has "ESCAPED" 3 times since then and I've been able to recover him within 10 minutes each time, except for once when it took me 30 minutes to find him because he kept moving and I kept driving past him, but I had him tracked the whole time. It can be kind of difficult to track them when they are on the move, but I use the tracker of the first dog who is with me, to guide me to the second dog on the run. Works pretty good. Thus far I'm pleased as punch with this product. I used to have to wait for him to come back, have a neighbor bring him back, or get him at the dog pound. So, the peace of mind alone is worth the price! Short Story: My units arrived on one day, my dog Tank ran away the next day, and the notification alarmed me the he was out of the safety zone within minutes, I brought up the search grid and found him two neighborhoods over and recovered his bad ass within 10 minutes of his great escape! Bravo Zulu tractive it proved its value within 24 hours of its purchase! Long Story: Both of my dogs showed up on my door step, Brutus (Belgian Malinois) 5 years ago and Tank (American Pitt Bull) 5 months ago, and in both cases I tried to find the owners but never could. So, my dogs are wanderers, runaways and accomplished escape artists from day one. They will get out on the lamb at any time because escaping is in their nature. Twice Brutus has disappeared over night in the forest behind the high school which is full of hungry coyotes where I sat in my car all night worried and crying with no idea of where he could possibly be, only to have him show up in the morning 9 hours later, tail wagging like he had done nothing wrong. Tank has run away now four times in the past month and a few days ago and I had to go on Ring.com to find him in a cage in the neighbor's house. Somehow he had miraculously lost his name tag so the neighbors had no idea who he belonged to and were planning to KEEP HIM had I not found him on Ring.com. A few months ago he was gone for two weeks only to show up at the dog pound with whooping cough sick "as a dog!" After the Ring.com incident I decided I had to do something so I bought the tractive dog collars for both of them on Black Friday to make use of the sale. I couldn't afford the premium service for both dogs plus the collars because that would have cost $406.00 that I didn't have at the time. I was concerned that the basic service wouldn't be adequate but when I thought about it I didn't really need world wide coverage, free replacement, dog tracking history, and the other bells and whistles. What I needed was to find these bad ass dogs when they pulled their disappearing acts, fast, efficiently, and precisely. They are way too big and intimidating to be running around on the loose and the coyote problem around here put them in constant danger the entire time they are out there. So, I chose the monthly option on the basic plan. I would suggest the company offer a monthly subscription on the premium plans as well, if they had, I would have definitely bought the premium plan. As I said above these trackers proved their value within the first 24 hours of my purchase as I successfully found tank so quickly that I was totally impressed. The virtual fence let me know when tank fled and it allowed me to track him in real time. It doesn't get any better than that. I've heard a lot about problems with battery life and that will be a problem if you are away from the safety zone (Home) that you setup with the virtual fence. If you are at "Home" the units go into a power saving mode that is incredibly efficient. Since my dogs spend the majority of their time in that zone I've had my units on and running for the past 6 days and they are both still at 80% battery life. I estimate the battery could last a couple of weeks in the power saving mode based on what I see now. I will continue to monitor but thus far I am very pleased with the battery life which is considerably better than my cell phone and smart watch that have to be charged daily. I can also say, if you are traveling with the dogs you could always turn the device off until you get out of the car with the dogs, this will extend the life. Cons: The upfront price is stiff for folks like me, especially if you have to buy two units. I bought mine for $59 each on sale which wasn't so bad, but the subscription price is tough because they want it up front on the premium plans, $144.00 each. The basic subscription is $15. I can absolutely see that I want the premium plan just for the tracking history alone, so I will be getting it when I can. I wish tractive would offer a monthly subscription on the premium plan. For that reason I am deducting one star. I wish the GPS real time tracker would provide directions to get you to where your pet is. Yes, it shows the precise location of your animal but if you don't know where Red Stone street is from your location on Brown Stone street, knowing where your dog is doesn't help you GET TO YOUR DOG. In my case I had a second phone that I was able to ask it to navigate me to the location where Tractive said my dog was. It would be helpful if Tractive could navigate you to drive or walk to where it shows the dog's location to be. Untested: I don't know how this product will work when I'm out in the bush but it does use GPS satellites, cell phone towers, blue tooth and radar mode to track your pet, so I will be testing to see how effective it is in the bush in upcoming winter months. But as far as using it in the city, I'm very pleased thus far. Overall: I like the damned thing. I think I might give it the fifth star back. It gives me peace of mind in knowing that my fur babies are okay and safe! I wish I would have bought this before I lost my beloved Brave Heart (Jack Russell Terrier) who was also a great escape artist. If I would have had this I would not have lost him a year ago. My heart is still broken at the disappearance of his sweet soul from my life. Daddy misses you Brave Heart and I pray you are well.

We absolutely love tractive. It's a must have along with a chip and tags. A chip is good however if you're Dog or cat decides to wander off and somebody decides to take your furry friend in then you're at the mercy of somebody doing their due diligence but with tractive you can chase them down right away and get them as soon as possible and keep them away from danger!!! There are other benefits to having it as well such as the health portion and the activity monitoring. The price is really inexpensive compared to the peace of mind you get! My wife would be devastated if something would ever happene to Buddy if he got away and he does like to take off. (He's just a puppy).. I also have it set up so other family members can also monitor his whereabouts if needed. The dog XL unit battery is really good as long as you have it connected to Wi-Fi in the safe Zone the battery lasts over a month however.. If it's not connected to Wi-Fi the battery will last maybe 2 weeks so keep that in mind but charging is straightforward pretty quick. The use of this app is also straightforward and continues to get better, it's pretty accurate on GPS however... If you wanted to track the unit within a safe Zone while its connected to Wi-Fi you are out of luck. If the Wi-Fi is on you would have to shut the Wi-Fi off to get the device to come online. I ran into an issue where buddy slipped out of his collar and his tractive was somewhere in the yard but not outside the "safe zone" I was able to successfully locate it using the Bluetooth range "radar" function however I couldn't connect to it until I was close enough so I had to walk around aimlessly in the yard until I finally connected it once I connected it it was really easy to find. In this case I didn't need to turn my Wi-Fi off but if I was having more issues that would have been my next step Do keep in mind once you're furry friend leaves the safe Zone it takes about a minute or so for the notification to pop up in the tracker to be online. I don't see that is an issue although it makes sense the tracker has to wake up out of power saving mode and then connect to a cellular network and GPS satellites, it's a process that has never failed us! These are one of those things that you will regret one day if you don't get it. It's essential!!!

**Tractive XL: The Pig-Tracking Miracle We Didn’t Know We Needed!** Listen up, folks—our pot-bellied pig, Rudy, is living proof that the Tractive XL isn’t just for dogs and cats. This gadget deserves a standing ovation (or at least a hearty snort) for giving us peace of mind on our 40-acre farm. Rudy, our adventurous porker, pulled a seven-week vanishing act that had us hiring professional drone services—three times!—with zero luck. Then, out of nowhere, he strolled back onto our porch, looking like he’d been on a pig version of *Survivor*: skinny, sick, and utterly exhausted. We weren’t about to let that happen again. Enter the Tractive XL, our new best friend. After researching trackers (and dabbling with AirTags for our blind dachshund—cute, but useless for real-time rural tracking), we chose the Tractive XL for its “live” location feature. Let me tell you, it’s like having a pig GPS that actually works! We strapped it on Rudy, and now we know exactly where His Pigginess is wandering on our sprawling property. The app is a dream—both my husband and I have it on our phones, and whether I’m home or traveling for work, I can check Rudy’s whereabouts anytime. The “safe zone” alerts? Pure genius. If Rudy decides to channel his inner explorer and tiptoes past his designated zone, we get instant notifications. Game. Changer. We’ve been using the collar for three weeks, and the battery life is still kicking—no recharging yet! The power-saving mode when Rudy’s in his safe zones is brilliant, and the app is so user-friendly it’s practically pig-proof. You get live tracking, a radar feature, even a sound and light option (perfect for when Rudy’s out meandering in the dark, dreaming of truffles). We can share his location and track his waddling patterns with pinpoint accuracy, which is no small feat on 40 acres in the middle of nowhere. Unlike AirTags, which flopped in our low-signal countryside, the Tractive XL’s reliability is rock-solid. In short, the Tractive XL has turned our pig-parenting stress into pure pork-tastic joy. Rudy’s free to roam (within reason), and we’re free from worry. If you’ve got a wandering critter—pig, dog, cat, or maybe even a rogue goat—this tracker is the real deal. Five stars, two oinks, and a whole lot of gratitude!

This tracker does more than I realized when I first purchased it. The battery life lasts pretty long (1 week plus if it is in WiFi range, which most of the time it is). It monitors activity (daily, weekly and monthly) along with sleep and health stats. It has leaderboards per location, breed and global. If the tracker falls off you can locate it with the app IF you have battery strength left. When traveling the app does pick up and notify us that they have left home about 3 minutes after we have “left the virtual fence of home”. Also, customer support is great as we had to replace one each for our dogs due to a few issues. The only cons I see are…(1) band that holds to collar does not last as long as I feel they should, given we have large and active dogs. (2) I have a hard time at times getting it to LIVE track (3) the virtual fence can be off by several yards (like 20 or so which can be 60+ feet). All in all I would highly recommend to others despite the few minor cons.

10000% recommend. Battery lasts more than a month. Very reliable. I have a Houdini dog who is great but every now and again finds a flaw in the fence (deer hits it or something) or the kids leave the gate not sealed all the way and he wanders off. We live less than a mile as the crow flies from a highway and a major road people speed on (our road is VeRy quiet but way too close for him to wander. They used to sneak away and go unnoticed for half an hour to an hour because it’s not unusual for them to be playing in the yard that long. Now, it alerts me as soon as he exits the virtual zone and I normally see the alert right away or within a few minutes (also alerts my Apple Watch) and I can track him. This week we are away on vacation and our house/pet sitter left the gate unlocked partially and he wandered off. I was able to call my sitter and with the app we tracked him and called him back (we also live on a railroad and he had hopped on the traction line and made quick distance before following a creek towards a major road where he was intercepted. I can’t imagine what could have happened without this collar. We are a lifetime user. Worth every penny!!

Our dog was jumping the fence and going into the woods repeatedly. We have been able to track him successfully at least 25 times. The only issues I have is when the signal gets lost which happens a fair amount for short periods. I also wish one could make the size of the alarm perimeter smaller. But that said, the device has been extremely helpful, the battery last a long time, water/weather don’t affect it and the price is fair. It also tracks the dog’s activity level and reports how he’s doing. I don’t know what we’d have done without it.

The only thing that I have to complain about at this time is the inability to actually speak to a customer service representative. This process is like playing a bad game of Tennis, with back and forth trying to explain the problem I’m having with far to many back and forth assumed list of established problem options which none are what I’m experiencing. However, once the problem resolution was determined, with step by step directions and then good old common sense, problems resolved. The device itself is great, I’m figuring it out, with fabulous tracking accuracy and capabilities, over short and state wide distances. Furthermore, the battery storage length is very generous. I wish the charger cord was longer but that’s nothing. I feel I have another high level of security for my best friend.

Love the Safety on this ..Nothing will work until the buttons on the remote are pushed !! I do like the correcting System,we have had this for 6 months now .I don’t believe in leaving a review when you just review something ! Really,how can you ? Ok ,I got the 2 dog collar system … They recommend Three Different Stages for training ..only if you need them ..The first stage .. You have different beep variations as they recommend to start as a warning when your pet does something wrong, you can adjust the different levels on each setting as how strong you need it for your pet to respond Then if your pet doesn’t listen to the beeping ,they recommend,the next step be the vibrations..with also different levels ,but doesn’t hurt them … The Third is the Shock ,,they also send rubber caps to cover the metal probes,so it doesn’t hurt them as much ,but I like you don’t have to shock them.if choose not to use these setting !! All these choices are made only by the master ,none are automatically gonna to do anything to your pet ,until a human presses a button on the remote control !! Plus I’m a little hard at seeing ,and I can clearly see and know what I’m doing with this remote ,that’s A Winner for me. Now ,it’s getting to the point where all I have to do is show them the remote ,and they listen !! Also I have had to get on Amazon ,and order a replacement remote that disappeared and the instructions is with the ordering details on here ,so no need for waiting on long phone calls ,for customer service ..I really like this company has replacements for all the devices needs ,and I don’t have to,order the whole package again ,just because I lost the charger … I still recommend the system ,and hope the company would read about what we ask for the upgrade the collar as our dogs don’t need to wear two collars,it’s just ;;to much weight on their neck We had to replace our collar ,because our puppy outgrew the original,only because our fault ,as my husband cut it short,so don’t do what we did .Though I don’t like this band though ,we are always having to tighten it up ,it doesn’t have a clip w/ holes to keep it in place in the size you want ,nor does it have a leash clip Qhich means your puppy or dog has to have 2 collars at the same time !! I don’t like that at all !! So just a quick recap. Though I do like the correcting System,it works very well,You have different beeps ,first stage then vibrations the second ,the third is shock ,of course is only by your choice All these choices are made only by the master ,none are automatic ,I can see it well ,,that’s what I like most my Fur baby is safe !! I recommend the system .I left one star off because of always having to tighten up the collar and that it has no clip for a leash .This should be made for dogs so they don’t have to wear multiple collars. So I’m hoping the company hears our request and upgrades the collar for our Lovable Fur Family soon and make this a Five ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Training Device !! I will update my review if anything changes.Have a Good Day with all Dogs !!

Le GPS fonctionne à la perfection. Par contre l’attache en caoutchouc n’a pas résisté 15 minutes. C’est un appareil pour grands chiens, il faut donc composer avec la violence de leurs ébrouements.

Bought what should have been the highest quality one and after 14 months it will no longer charges. I spoke to them about their warranty and they offered to replace the unit, but then wanted me to pay shipping and import costs that would be more than the device itself. I will no longer be using this company and would avoid using them.

Una maravilla, sabes en todo momento el estado de tu perro y donde está, sin preocupaciones. Si el perro se te escapa sabes a donde a ido y donde está en el momento, le pones vallas virtuales y recibes una alerta en el preciso instante que se la salta por tanto sabes el momento exacto en el que se ha escapado, guarda por fechas y horas los lugares por los que ha pasado tu perro, ideal para saber si a podido ser tu perro el que dicen que estaba donde no devia estar cuando no debía estar. Y en el caso de el XL olvídate durante 1 mes de cargarlo.

This unit has a better battery life and easier on off than my previous unit but it is larger and heavier so this unit is for big dogs. All in all I am very happy with the tracking capability’s.

Best device we have ever purchased for our Black Lab. I got it in 2024, it's worked flawlessly for over 15mths! Never failed all over the UK on holidays, travels! Our boy likes to swim and typical boystrous Lab bounding around in the forests etc and not once has it stopped working or fallen off! Totally waterproof! (See video) He swims and splashes whilst wearing it most days! I got the XL for our 4yr old Lab. Easy to fit and pair with the app. Extremely well made and comfortable on his collar! Only once, by human error, after wiping him down I left the collar and tracker on a bench, I used the app and it took me straight back to it. Love your dog or cat? Just buy one! For the small monthly cost, the peace of mind feeling is awesome, especially on holidays or in strange places! I cannot recommend this device highly enough!
