Very Useful in an Emegency
I have a dog who is an escape artist. I bought this and I’m truly impressed. The price wasn’t too bad since the tracker itself was on sale. It’s the subscription part to get the tracker to work is where they get ya. You have to buy the tracker and then sign up for a membership plan and you have to pay the entire year or two years up front. I was disappointed it wasn’t a month to month thing. In the end it was worth it though. My dog got out and using the app on my phone I was able to locate and get him back home quickly. The app is very easy to use and since it’s on my phone I can check on my dog whenever I want. I can see if he is home or I can see if he’s off having another adventure. I find this tracker to be very useful and it gives me piece of mind. Just remember it needs to be charged regularly. I don’t have any experience with other trackers. This is the first one I have bought and I like it so far.

Peace of mind
Works well- really helps knowing where our dogs are. We live in a very wooded area and being able to see in real time where they are whether day or night is fantastic. We have a large pond which they are neck deep a lot in water and so far no problems with moisture.The rubber strap that holds it on tho broke quite quickly - I wish they sent extras of those instead of having to pay $10 for two replacements. I also wish with two dogs we didn’t have to pay full amount for the second one on the yearly fee.It’s nice that my wife and I can both see where the dogs are regardless of where we are.I have had a couple notices that they left the virtual fence when we are gone and the dogs are home in the house. That is a little worrisome- I don’t know why that happens.

Amazing!
So far, amazing! There are so many nice functions and I much safer now. The battery lasts for 2 weeks the first time, but that's because I hadn't added the save battery mode - it allows you to asd save battery mode while connected to a specific wifi, so while we are home, it's on save mode.It's definitely a little big for small dogs, but I don't think this should change de 5 star review... But it's definitely a good suggestion to try and make a smaller one for small dogs.

Not Worth It – Bulky, Delayed Alerts, and Hidden Costs
I had high hopes for this tracker, but it was a complete letdown. First off, it’s way too bulky and uncomfortable for my dog to wear—he kept trying to shake it off. The virtual fencing feature is practically useless. The "safe zone" is so large that by the time you get a notification, your dog could already be halfway across the neighborhood.BE AWARE You have to pay a $120+ subscription upfront just to be able to use the app—without it, the tracker is basically a paperweight- so by the time you know it's not good, your money is gone already. This should’ve been clearly stated in the listing. Overall, it’s overpriced, impractical, and misleading. Save your money and look elsewhere.

Must have a subscription, I chose the 2yr plan which is to be paid upfront.
I find it helpful to keep track of one of my rescue dogs that still has roaming issues. Sometimes it shows that she goes through a solid fence and not the actual exit path, all in all I would recommend this product. Charging is weekly.

Seems to be exactly as advertised after the 1st 10 days
My Shih-Tzu has been wearing the Tractive now for10 days and I could not be happier with the product. She is 10 lbs. and doesn’t mind it at all. We do take her collar off for bed. Setting up the virtual fence was easy and every time she leaves the safe area text alerts are sent to our phones in a minute or two. The gps is extremely accurate to within 15 or 20’. Battery life is at 45% after her first 10 days of continuous use without being turn off. We olive in a suburban area but will be using it soon in a heavily wooded area and am optimistic that it will work just as well.

Tracker works great!
Works great! I’m able to track our dog when he’s out for a walk. It is very accurate, close to real time, and the battery lasts a long time. It also keeps track of the dogs health, including activity and sleeping. I highly recommend this GPS tracker for dogs.

Great customer service
After losing my little angel, Enna, to congestive heart failure, my daughter insisted I adopt a new companion. I knew nearly nothing about her and named her Buttercup. She was starved for attention. I live on the edge of a National Forest. I'm surrounded by trees. I quickly learned Buttercup liked to explore. She might be small, but she's fearless and aggressive towards anything on four legs - dogs, squirrels, possums, deer, even horses. I hoped the Tractive GPS tracker would allow me to set up virtual fences and keep track of her wanderings. I much effort in making the tracker work, I gave up. Because the trees prevent use of GPS and there are no cell towers in my area (my cell phone works over wi-fi). I contacted the Tractive customer service, and we discussed my situation. They were wonderful and refunded my one-year subscription to their service. I still had paid for the device itself, but I can sell or give it to someone else. Five stars for customer service.
