12 best dog tracking systems

Dog tracking systems are devices designed to help pet owners locate and monitor their dogs, especially when they are off-leash or in open spaces. These systems are particularly useful for tracking dogs during hunting, hiking, or in rural areas where they can roam freely. Here are some key aspects of dog tracking systems:

  1. GPS Tracking: Many modern dog tracking systems use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to provide real-time location data of the dog. These systems typically consist of a GPS collar attached to the dog's neck and a handheld receiver or smartphone app for the owner.

  2. Range: The range of a dog tracking system can vary significantly.Some have a limited range of a few miles, while others can cover much larger areas. The choice of system often depends on the owner's needs and the dog's typical roaming habits.

  3. Training Features: Some dog tracking systems come with training features, such as remote training collars. These collars can be used to send signals like vibrations or mild electrical stimulation (e-collars) to guide the dog's behavior. These should be used responsibly and under the guidance of a professional dog trainer.

  4. Geo-Fencing: Many tracking systems allow owners to set up virtual boundaries, known as geo-fences. If the dog crosses these boundaries, the owner receives an alert. This feature can help prevent the dog from wandering too far.

  5. Battery Life: Battery life is a crucial consideration, especially for extended outdoor activities. Some tracking collars have rechargeable batteries, while others use disposable batteries. Long battery life is essential for ensuring that the tracking system remains effective throughout the day.

  6. Subscription Plans: Some GPS tracking systems require a subscription plan to access certain features, such as real-time tracking or historical location data. Owners should factor in these ongoing costs when choosing a system.

  7. Durability: Dogs can be quite active and rough on their collars. It's important to choose a tracking collar that is durable and waterproof to withstand various weather conditions and activities.

  8. Data Storage: Many dog tracking systems store historical location data, allowing owners to review their dog's movements over time. This can be helpful for identifying patterns in behavior.

  9. Compatibility: Ensure that the tracking system you choose is compatible with your smartphone or handheld device. Some systems have their own proprietary apps, while others use common GPS tracking apps.

  10. Safety: While dog tracking systems can be valuable tools, it's important to use them responsibly and in conjunction with proper training. Over-reliance on technology should not substitute for good dog training and supervision.

Remember that the effectiveness of a dog tracking system can vary based on factors such as terrain, the presence of obstacles like tall buildings or dense forests, and the quality of the GPS signal in the area. It's essential to research and choose a system that best suits your specific needs and location.

Eureka Technology MARCOPOLO Advanced Pet Monitoring, Tracking and Locating System (for Dogs and Cats 5 lb and Larger)

Eureka Technology Partners, LLC

Based on 156 reviews Check latest price

Product description

The Marco Polo Advanced Pet Tracking system Waterproof and Extremely Rugged is the ideal solution to keep your pets safe while they enjoy all the activities they love. Suitable for pets ranging from the largest dogs down to the smallest dogs and cats having a collar length of 7 inches or more. No internet or cellular access is needed so you can take your pets with you to the most remote locations, knowing that you will be alerted quickly if they wander and easily track them if they become lost. Marco Polo is the perfect solution for protecting your pets while traveling or at home. Extremely rugged, the Advanced Tracking Tag is made to withstand rough terrain and prolonged swimming. The streamlined design keeps the tag out of harm’s way so it is not caught on branches or damaged while playing. Up to two additional tracking tags (sold separately) can be added to the system at any time to allow monitoring and tracking of up to three pets. The tracking tag has an internal, rechargeable battery that lasts up to 6 weeks on a single charge. Since Marco Polo requires no monthly fees it will save you hundreds of dollars over the life of the system when compared to subscription-based systems. When searching for your pet, Marco Polo acts like a personal radar system, scanning every inch of the surrounding area, including the interiors of homes and backyards. The system range is up to 2 miles in open conditions but, as with any 2-way radio system, varies with terrain and obstructions. If your pet is outside the system’s range you can continuously scan hundreds of acres of surrounding area as you drive or walk around. Once within range of your pet the Marco Polo locator will guide you directly to their exact location, within inches if necessary, even if they are injured or hiding – a perfect solution for finding cats that are reluctant to come in at night. Select one of four safety zone ranges for your pet and receive warnings in less than 80 seconds when your pet wanders.

  • Works anywhere, totally self-contained, no GPS or cell network required, no monthly service contracts, ideal for traveling with your pets
  • Simple to setup and use, single button-push to begin searching for lost pets with real-time distance and direction feedback
  • Includes everything needed for 1-pet, may be expanded to handle up to three pets with purchase of additional tracking tags (sold separately)
  • Tracking Tags are designed for prolonged swimming, are light enough for cats and rugged enough for the most active dogs
  • Rechargeable battery on pet’s collar lasts up to 6 weeks while being continuously monitored

User questions & answers

Question: can connect and monitor up to 4 pets with the controller provided you have purchased 4 transmitter collars
Answer: There is a software upgrade that is available from the manufacturer that will allow up to 6 tracking tags (consisting of any mixture of the 4 available types) to be paired to one handheld locator.
Question: does this product work outside the united states
Answer: This unit uses radio frequency technology which I believe is independent of worldwide location since it does not require GPS, cell phone service, wifi or Bluetooth. I also recommend you contact the company directly because from personal experience they are very good at answering any and all questions you might have. In fact, the president's himself called me on at least two separate occasions to help me answer some questions.
Question: Our cottage is on a heavily wooded but flat island. Would this tracker work to track a dog who may swim to the next (very close) island
Answer: While the dog is swimming you may not be able to get a signal just depending on whether the tag is above or below the water line. Once he is on the other island there would be no problem as the range of operation over the water is pretty much the same as open, flat land.
Question: Looking for a tracking device that would work on my dog & cat when camping/hiking in areas with mountains, woods, streams, & lakes. Would this work
Answer: Yes, absolutely. Trees don't bother it much, but terrain can. Example: I live on a curved ridge, and my neighbor is at the same elevation but further around the curve (about 100 yards). When my cat goes over there, the tracker will say ~70% power (range). As I head toward him, if I walk straight ahead and DOWN into the ravine, the signal will actually weaken as the earth begins to block "line of sight". As I walk back up the other side, it will strengthen again. Sometimes in the middle, the direction indicator no longer works. If I walk along the top curve of the ridge, the signal raises from 70% as I go & the arrow stays spot on toward him. Both tactics work OK, but sometimes the former takes some triangulation or trust that you're still heading the right direction.

Handheld GPS Sporting Dog Tracking System for U.S. and Canada
Follow Your Dog's Every Move

Using our T 9 collar device (sold separately or as a bundle) to transmit each dog’s location as often as every 2.5 seconds, Astro 900 is quick to pinpoint the track they’re following — even when they’re on the run. On the Astro device’s bright, crisp display, you can see your dog’s current location and a trail of where he’s been. You also can switch over to the Dog Track page to view a compass pointing to your dog’s location. For help in keeping the big picture in sight when tracking multiple dogs, it’s easy to auto zoom the map page, so all dogs can be seen on the display at any time. Dogs that are too far away to fit on the map’s current zoom scale can be notated on the display’s margin in the direction of the dog’s location. To reduce visual clutter on the map, you can toggle between 'show all,' 'show some' and 'show none' — selecting the duration that each dog’s track is viewable on the display.

See More Detail with Additional Mapping

Astro 900 features a microSD card slot that allows you to load even more mapping options. You also can opt for City Navigator NT map data, which gives you turn-by-turn driving directions on roads. In addition, Astro 900 supports BirdsEye Satellite Imagery (free 1-year subscription included) so you can download satellite images to your device and integrate them with your maps. The Astro device’s mapping depicts important nearby geographical features and enables you to see if your dog has crossed a creek or is nearing a dangerous roadway. Astro 900 is also compatible with Garmin Custom Maps, free software that transforms paper and electronic maps into downloadable maps for your device.

Track with Hunt Metrics Dog Data

Sophisticated Hunt Metrics data helps monitor your dog’s hunting patterns and behaviors to optimize your training opportunities. You can see your dog's times, distances traveled and overall scores. Plus, Astro 900 will also capture the number of times during the hunt when an 'on point' or 'treed' event was indicated.

Count Your Coveys

After you’ve tracked down your quarry, mark the exact spot with the Astro device’s Covey Counter, a special waypoint that shows the exact location, time of day and elevation where you found your prey as well as the number of birds you flushed and took from that location. Astro lets you save other special waypoints, such as 'Truck' and 'Lodge,' so you can easily find your way back to these locations at the end of the hunt. Astro also offers special waypoint icons to represent food plots, tree stands and other hunting-related points.

Share Wirelessly

With an expanded ecosystem of wireless connectivity options, Astro 900 can support unit-to-unit data transfer with a variety of compatible Garmin devices. For example, Garmin DriveTrack can receive and display dog positions on its moving map — with topographic or satellite image views — showing navigation cues to your dog’s current location. Likewise, a compatible fēnix GPS watch can receive dog status updates and alerts for viewing at a glance on your wrist. Also, while you’re in the field, Astro 900 lets you link and share wirelessly with your buddies’ compatible devices, such as the Oregon handheld, Montana handheld, GPSMAP 64 chartplotter or other ANT+ connectivity-enabled devices, to help coordinate hunt logistics on the go.

User questions & answers

Question: If I wanted this for a nonsporting dog, to simply find him on the farm like 1 mile away could the antenna be removed from collar and would it work
Answer: Thank you for your question! Though you could certainly use this TEK unit to track your dog via the GPS signal, it would not work properly if you were to remove the antenna.
Question: how long is the antennae on the collar
Answer: about 3 to 4 inches
Question: Can you do a virtual fence ? Ex ( shock if dog goes out of the designated area
Answer: Thank you for your question! The TEK 2.0 has the ability to set up a "Geofence", which will send an alert signal to the handheld when a collar leaves the area you've mapped out. It won't, however, give an automatic stimulation if the collar leaves the area and is not designed to act as a containment system. It would be possible, though, to send a stimulation signal with the handheld after getting the alert signal that your dog has left the Geofence area, however this would need to be done manually each time.
Question: Does this tell you if a dog is on point
Answer: Hi Larissa, this system does indicate when the dog is on point.
