A new use for GPS Technology; Tracking Collars

We are all pretty familiar with the concept of GPS technology.  But did you know that GPS tracking collars are available for your dogs?  The same technology that lets you find your way to Aunt Mary’s house can now be used to keep track of your dog when you go hunting.  That’s right, you can put a transmitter on your dog, utilizing the availability of multi-million dollar satellites, and find him in the woods or wherever you take them.

The signal from your dog’s collar transmits up to the satellite in the sky overhead then bounces back to your receiver.  The receiver is small enough to tuck into a pocket of your hunting jacket and can be used to track several dogs if needed.  Each dog’s collar will transmit a different signal allowing you to identify the behavior of each dog separately.

Your dog’s transmitter is attached either to a collar or a harness that doesn’t interfere with their movement.  You can also purchase transmitters that have smaller, plug-like antennas that are less likely to catch in the brush and smack your dog on the rebound, a much more practical approach to deep wood hunters.  The technology is simple to master and non-invasive as far as your dog is concerned.

Think how much more at ease you will be when you let your dog off leash to track if you are certain you can find them no matter where they go.  The same tool can be used if you have a dog that is determined to follow in the footsteps of Harry Houdini and keeps getting out of your yard.  Take a look online to see all the possible options, you are certain to find GPS tracking collars that suit your needs.
