Whistle™

My Husky mix exceeds his daily goals. He's an Olympian. He easily jumps my 5 ft fence, hence the tracker. I've got 2 batteries, changed daily. But the setting for the timeliest setting drains the battery. When he's 5+ miles away, I'm panicking, driving like Andretti. I live on Central Texas, and Bluetooth, wi/fi Connection is sketchy. Yes, I've recovered him many times using Whistle. Without it, he'd be dead from ranchers shooting him. Yes, it's recommend. Highly. Yes, watching and waiting for the connection is heart wrenching.

We have a livestock guardian, ELO who is very valuable. He breaches areas of our property where he shouldn’t go so we got him a Whistle. We had it for many weeks but never activated it. I activated it and put it on him in the early afternoon. I went outside and ELO was nowhere to be found, I panicked. I drove for 30 minutes trying to locate him because the GPS was new and trying to find him. When it did locate him, he was LOCKED in my crazy neighbors stall, with the barn doors closed. ELO has a brass nameplate and the neighbor knows him but, because she is insane, she took him with every intention of taking him to animal control in the morning. She didn’t realize we’d recovered him in under 1 hour and 7 hours later tried to have us arrested for trespassing. It’s truly a crazy story and it’s 100% true. The tracking shows ELO going from our gate, through her 6-7 foot solid wall locked gates (because she stole him). She then locked him in her barn. It’s truly a crazy story that sounds made up but its not. So why did our neighbor want to hurt us by stealing ELO, we’re the plaintiff in a law suit against her, and she’s losing. It’s so sad that someone would take it out on such a sweet dog. Had it not been for whistle, she would have stripped him of his collars and taken him to the high kill shelters of California.

After a bit of a rocky start getting our account working and information showing up, we are happy with Annie's whistle collar and the information we get from it. We are on a month-long cross-country road trip, and having a way to track Annie gives us a sense of security. She's not a runner, but if she did get separated from us, we have practiced clicking on "Location" and "Find my pet" to confirm where she is.
