I know this is an old thread, but I really like DogBase for logging my service dog training program. It's even got features for logging vet visits, nutrition, really whatever I ned. Best I've seen out there:

DoggyLogs! Great app, is free for up to two clients and all you need is the client's e-mail so they get a notification and can follow along.

Share ... If you ahve good cell signal then Tractive or maybe Fi usually works well. If not good cell or wifi then Garmin or Dogtra have the long range GPS units but fair warning they are spendy.

Which tracker do you think is the best just to get my dog statistics? ... Archived post. New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast. Share ... Hmmm that’s an interesting need. I’m not familiar, but off the top of my head, I’d say try an Apple Watch with a large wrist strap as a collar.

Never can be too careful. I haven't due to the expense. Air Tag would be good but I have Android also, and Tile just isn't up to pet tracking. The one I was considering is Tractive.
r/puppy101
It has a couple of flaws (my wife entering a Pee doesn’t reset the Smart Reminder on my phone), but it’s easy to use, allows customs events, and has an iPhone app. ... I use Dog Log for potty, food, and sleep tracking, it's simple but has ...

Hi. I know the old "what tracker?" question has been posted a thousand times, but I can't get over the number of people suggesting Tractive. TLDR…
r/camping
We have no service out there, but the app works perfectly. ... The consensus in the hunting community is that the Garmin line is the best hands down. They work via radio frequency to a handheld and don’t require cell or a subscription.
r/Dogtraining
If your dog is going to be running around on a farm all day, it may be worth looking into the garmin products. The buddy has a garmin unit that appears to be super accurate but it’s overkill for my use case (making sure I can find my dog if she chases after a deer or somehow gets lost).
... Tractive is a solid option. We live in a quite remote area and use a Tractive collar on our beagle. While it doesn’t help me lay hands on her, it definitely lets me know where she actually is.

I found this on the Fi.com website: https://support.tryfi.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019764414-Can-the-Fi-App-Be-Used-Internationally ... The Fi collar is great! Worth the cost - I have a wandering dog also and we can find her everytime! We had an AirTag on her but it doesn’t give an exact location an...

Not sure this is a good place to ask this I'm going on a dog walking holiday and I want to put a tracker on my dog in case she runs away. I guess I'm…

I've had the Whistle Go Explore on my dog for about 2.5 years and it's been great overall. I really appreciate the health insights regarding his eating, drinking, sleeping, scratching, and licking. For $99/year, it connects to the AT&T cell towers and seems to be reasonably accurate wh...
