Not what we hoped for
I decided to buy the Tractive device because it seemed to have good reviews and be what we needed for out beagle cross dog who sometimes goes off after animal scents and can disappear for long periods. However, this device is not very good at holding the GPS signal in woods which is where we have most problems so we are not very happy with it.
We started off with it on his collar but it hangs under his chin so we tried it on a harness so it stays 'in clear view of the sky' as recommended, but again not much good in woods.
The App seems to work fine on my phone but it's frustrating when my phone knows where I am by GPS but not the Tractive device.
If I had bought this from the UK, I would have sent it back but coming from the manufacturer in Austria I am thinking twice about it. I also bought the 2 year package so will continue using it in the hope that if he does go off for a long time he will eventually come to an open space where he will be picked up.
