Whistle Tracking Order Status

In concept it’s great and ok when it actually works, but it SUCKS for service and RARELY works when we need it to!! We live in a *slightly* rural area and we have highly escape oriented dogs (we have fulll surround 5 ft high fencing and one always finds a new way to jump out). I always have at least 3 out of 5 or 4 out of 5 cell reception bars and no issue with my cell. But whenever one of our dogs escapes, Whistle always says it’s trying to activate GPS and literally 15 minutes goes by and nothing! It times out and can’t track them!! By that point my dog can be 2 miles away hit by a car or attacked by a coyote or in such a remote area i’m not going to be able to get them. It SUCKS and i’m so fed up with their crap connection they blame on everything else. I’ve been a customer for years with both new and old devices (bought 4 now) and it’s gone way down hill. DONT BUY. Try Track it or another service - i’m switching.

We have gone thru thee with one dog and one with our new dog. All it does is search without giving location. We have found our pet got them back home ten fifteen mins and the whistle timed out saying it could not lock on gps. Not happy to say the least. Money spent on a secure fence, way to go. From the beginning

We have Whistle to help locate our free range dog, Leo when we are leaving or going in for the night. It’s was a necessity when he was young and wild. Now that he’s 9 he doesn’t run off but we like being able to find him when needed. The activity reports are also interesting and comforting to get. I tell everyone who inquires about what the device on the collar does, that it’s our pacifier!

When you can’t be with your dog 24/7, you don’t really know what they’re going through in your absence. This Whistle technology has been very reassuring, letting me know how active, thirsty, or quiet my senior Labrador Pacey is while I’m away. He’s had some metabolic issues this summer, but seems to be doing much better. Pacey’s weekly reports from Whistle have shown improvement in his drinking, eating, scratching, and licking. Good to know!

We’ve had the whistle tracker for about 8months, the strap design is so flimsy, it kept getting lost. We’re unable to find it this time - the proximity meter is very very weak. On the website it says to contact the support team in case you struggle to find it and all they said was they can’t help us and the warranty does not cover loss. The app is ok hence why 2stars but save yourself a lot of money and get more solid tracker.
