If you are looking for a way to find and track your dog in brush and heavy cover, you should consider using GPS dog tracking systems.
These tracking systems are more sophisticated and accurate than the old-style radio collars. Instead of using radio signals to triangulate their location, these devices use highly accurate GPS signals.
The result of this technology is that you have the ability to track where and what your dog is doing in the field. And as you will see, these modern units are capable of much, much more than just tracking your dog!
What is a GPS?
A GPS is an acronym for Global Positional Satellite. This GPS technology is now used in cars for fleet tracking, also to aid in travel, and by hikers in the backcountry, are found in dog collars to aid in tracking and finding dogs.
There are several reasons you should consider using a GPS dog collar as part of your GPS dog tracking system. They are accurate, foolproof, and pretty sturdy.
GPS Dog Tracking System
A GPS dog tracking system consists of two parts: a GPS dog collar, and a handheld GPS receiver. Using GPS technology you can track your dog’s every move on the handheld GPS receiver.
First, you will finally be able to track your dog through the brush. No more guessing about where your dogs are. No more struggling through dense vegetation on a fruitless search for a dog you can’t see. With a GPS dog tracking system, you can see the dog on your handheld device, with the location superimposed over a topographic map.
You will know exactly where your dog is at all times.
If you use dogs to hunt and tree game, you can tell whether your dog is sitting, on point, or treeing the quarry. Your response to where your dog is and what you do is doing will be different. Your hunt can be more successful.
And less frustrating.
Another reason for using tracking systems is being able to save favorite locations as a “waypoint”. Why is this important? Find a covey of quail and record them as a waypoint. You can return to that point again next week or next month.
Never forget a great hunting spot again.
Safety
Finally, the biggest reason to use a GPS tracking system is safety. Finally, you can find your dog after a long day in the field. No more worrying about leaving a lost dog alone out at night. And if your dog gets stuck or tangled in shrubs or trees or on fences, you can see the location right on your handheld device and find and rescue your dog.
Reasons To Buy a GPS Dog Tracking System
There are many reasons for buying a GPS dog tracking system. These reasons include tracking your dog with a GPS dog collar, recording favorite waypoints, determining whether your dog is moving or stationary, and of course safety for you and your pets. GPS devices have really become more practical.
