Tractive
Tractive DOG 6 GPS Tracker
Live GPS on the collar with escape alerts and a separation anxiety monitor; it does nothing without a paid Tractive plan, and the battery needs charging every week or two.
- Buy it if
- A dog who has bolted before, or anyone using a dog walker.
- Skip it if
- You won't pay for a monthly or yearly plan.

Who we pick it for
- If he slips out the door or gets away from a dog walker, you see his live location on your phone. It also has a separation anxiety monitor that flags extra barking while you're out. It needs a Tractive subscription to work at all. Leaving your dog home alone 9 hours? See him, hear him, feed him →
