I had to buy two of them + Update: Battery Life
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.

Awesome tracker and interface
I have been using teactive for about 2 years now and it works awesomely. I have an escape artist dog who loves to run and whenever she get out running I don't even have to chase her. I just get in my car and track her down. The tracker gives a location until you get close and it then connects to Bluetooth and gives a real specific location. This tracker has never failed me and has not only saved my doggie from traffic due to finding her quickly, but it has also given me piece of mind. I have used other trackers and was unhappy with the interface or it did not provide a specific location. Tractive is the best on the market in my opinion.

Better than promised
Work great, better than promised. I can easily keep track of my dog. The charge is lasting much longer than expected also. 10 days on and 53% still left! It does not bother my dog at all and is smaller and lighter than pictures show. I am extremely glad I made the purchase. Of course the subscription is a little hefty but worth it if my dog gets out of the yard.

Peace of mind knowing where the dog is
My Rottweiler is a farm dog, no fence, and she is very active. This has been a life changer as far as keeping tabs on her and keep her from going where she shouldn’t. On live mode, it is very accurate. I have done only 4 stars as I found that the power saving home mode is not always accurate. When in home mode, you can’t live track. There were several times that it said she was safe at home when I could see her a quarter mile away. Also a few times it said she was in the home area for hours when she left it an hour before. But that’s ok, in live mode it is great

Pretty amazing..
Anyone saying this doesn’t work must either be an imposter or not know how to use technology—because it works perfectly. I’ve set up two safe zones and three no-go zones on my 20-acre property. I created a small two-acre safe zone around my house where my dog spends most of her time, another zone that matches my full property, and three additional zones outside of it that alert me if my dog wanders too far. I’ve only had it for three days, but so far everything has been flawless. The battery life could last up to a month, though that might be a bit optimistic. The way we use it, we attach the GPS to a separate collar that snaps on and off easily. We only put it on when she goes outside, which lets us charge the device between outdoor sessions. Even if we didn’t, we’d probably only need to charge it every couple of weeks. You can create a radius-based safe area or draw custom shapes—like a five-sided polygon—for safe or no-go zones. Zones can be as small as 100 feet wide or cover large areas. There’s also a button to make the GPS module emit a sound, which we’re using for training. Our dog is learning to associate the sound with a recall and a treat, and soon I’ll be able to press the button and have her come trotting back. There’s also a small LED light on the collar—not very bright, but a nice touch. Live tracking on the app is in 15 minute sessions... But do not worry, if you are live tracking or not live tracking you Will still get a notification if your pet enters or leaves a safe zone. I almost bought another collar that cost much more and needed charging every two days—no way. I chose the Tractive XL for its battery life and hoped it would have the features I needed. I’m blown away by how well it delivers. The accuracy, battery life, app, price, and overall peace of mind are all excellent. The $10 per month subscription was an easy decision, and they even offer a plan that includes device insurance and replacement. WOW. Here’s a clear, concise version of what you described — perfect if you’re sharing this as a review or recommendation: I recently purchased the Tractive GPS Dog Collar on Amazon for $89, and it’s been a game-changer for managing my dog on my 20-acre property with no fences. The collar’s battery lasts about three weeks per charge, which is far better than most other GPS collars that need daily charging. The Tractive app lets you set up to five virtual zones, sending alerts whenever your dog leaves a defined area — for example, the immediate yard or the entire property. If my dog leaves the property, I get an instant notification. The app also allows you to play a sound on the collar remotely, which I use along with a whistle to reinforce boundary training. It’s effective — my dog now knows when she’s getting too close to the edge of the property, even if she’s five acres away. After buying the collar, you’ll need a subscription plan, available in 1-, 2-, or 5-year options, starting at about $11 per month (billed annually) — roughly $130 for a year. Considering the reliability, tracking accuracy, and long battery life, it’s absolutely worth it for the peace of mind. The tracker is about the size of a C battery, making it ideal for medium to large dogs, though a bit bulky for small breeds. Overall, I highly recommend the Tractive GPS collar to anyone who wants dependable real-time tracking, long battery life, and simple boundary training for their dog. It’s affordable, practical, and gives complete peace of mind knowing your dog is safe and easy to find at all times.

Perfect for the houdinis!
Easy to set up and we love it for our Pyrenees!! He runs off almost daily, and no more reaching out to neighbors and calling him endlessly to bring him home! The tracking is great and gives us a lot of peace of mind! Well worth the purchase.

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.

I absolutely love my Tractive dog tracker. It works great and gives me real peace of mind knowing I can locate my dog if she ever gets away from me. When my dog was a puppy, I bought the small tracker, and it worked so well that I later purchased the XL Adventure version so I’d already have it when she was big enough. When the time came to switch to the larger tracker, the process was very easy and completely hassle-free. The tracking has been reliable, easy to use, and incredibly reassuring—especially for a curious or active dog. There is a subscription required, but it’s very reasonably priced, especially if you choose the two-year plan. As a dog lover, I honestly can’t put a price on the safety and security of knowing my dog is protected. I also had a great experience with customer service. When I first signed up, I accidentally ordered the more expensive Pro subscription. I emailed customer support, and they were very easy to deal with and resolved the issue quickly. I received a refund for the difference in packages and was switched to the subscription I wanted in no time at all. Highly recommend to anyone who wants that extra layer of confidence when it comes to their dog’s safety.

Es resistente y ha sido confiable en el rastreo. El único contra es que la suscripción es algo elevada.
