Weenect Pets - GPS Collar for Dogs

1st opinion it looks very big, & looks like a doorbell. We have a young Collie, and the device is big on his collar, so if you have a small dog I imagine the device would be too big.The website is very easy to use and understand.The user webpage where you can track and control the tracker is very simple to use and well laid out.Im sorry to say that is where all the good points of this device end.When the gps worked it was the perfect, software, tracking and device.... all giving me security knowing where my dog is at all times.Sadly the GPS part of the package just did not work most of the time. We tried it indoors, outdoors, in an open field, in a small wood, by a river.... everywhere - throughout Belfast. We have good signal with all the majpr providers in the area so that is not the problem. It seems that the GPS transmitter on the device is of poor build. So we did not have that peace of mind most of the time.The battery - the amount of time it had to be recharged is crazy - I understand it will drain the battery quickly if the GPS tracker is set to say every 30 seconds.... we tried it right up to once every 60 minutes and still the battery drained quickly. So if my dog got out of the garden during the day and I did not notice for a few hours then its fingers crossed theres enough battery in the tracker until I can get home and find him.You can tell that a lot of money has been spent on building the website, the software, unfortunately they need to spend more money on the actual device, and the protective sleeve.A picture of the tracker in its "Protective Case" shows that the case surrounds the device fully "looking at the images now it is the cats one that has a full cover -why not the dog one ?" This is a big design flaw as unfortunately whilst out for a walk it worked its way out of the sleeve-yes we did have it in correctly.... but an energetic dog running around tends to shake things about. And what do dogs like to do.... you got it CHEW. we ran over to get the tracker the from the dog -too late... within 5 seconds he had easily sunk several teeth in the device..... hes still a young puppy so they are not even full sized adult teeth.Fix the the tracking device.... there are better materials that are suitable for a dog device. Thicker grade plastic, chew proof plastic, plastic covered with chew proof rubber.I did contact Weenect about this but they would not help. So out £70I DONT Recommend

Having two huskies who are reknown fir being escape artists, I was desperate to ensure if they did get out then I would have a chance of finding them quickly and before they got into trouble somewhere. Huskies travel long and far rather than quickly but can go for days so it’s important to me to get a good quality tracker that is true and dependable. The Weenect dog tracker is everything I need and more. Just be aware you get 14 days free but after that, because it uses gps and real-time tracking you will need to subscribe to a monthly or yearly SIM card which is installed and sealed within the unit. The unit fits pretty much all Collars and is attached by a small silicone cradle. The cradle looks flimsy but has withstood both dogs going over rocks, under water, (it is waterproof) biting the works. It tracks well on the streets but my fear was in a wood or forest you wouldn’t get the same results. I was wrong it works amazing in forests and woods. One charge lasts around 2-3 days but I recharge at night every night to ensure it is full should she disappear. The subscription isn’t too bad to be fair. They do one at £85 for two years or £5 a month they do a yearly one too but that works out a little expensive. If you find yourself questioning paying the subscription just put a price on never seeing your dog again then rethink. Overall I have to say it’s the best dog tracker out there and with the option for it to call you and you can hear everything you can’t go wrong. Highly recommended.

It is easy to use and my dog has no problem with it. It provides an excellent record of where he is and where he has been.There is a question about reliability since it stopped working after two months and had to be replaced. Service from Weenect in France has been excellent and they are very friendly and easy to contact including phoning me more than once to check on progress.They have replaced the broken tracker even though they have not yet been able to check it because Royal Mail have lost it.

So i have bought this because my rescue dog is awesome in the house and even outdoors with other dogs and in fields etc however when I'm running with him (off lead) or near woods, his prey and chasing squirrel drive is out of control and at the moment no amount of treat based training is stopping him. Whilst he always comes back (and fairly quickly) I have had a few scary moments where he has got so excited he has lost me, panicked and got lost for a little longer. So, I needed a device that i can both track him as well as try and train him with vibrate or bleep functionality. Whilst I haven't tried the latter yet, the tracker is brilliant, great size for a small dog and the ring and vibrate are much better than others i have tried so i look forward to training him with these additional signals (neither of which cause any harm whatsoever). The technology is super easy and quick to set up and i personally think the subscription cost is reasonable given the peace of mind I know have!

This is my second generation of weenect and what a vast improvement! Despite daily use and abuse the reliability has been perfect. The device is small and well sealed so it's hard to do anything wrong. I wouldn't rely on the speaker after a few months but the important thing is the precise tracking in any environment, including water, and we've not been let down when needed, mostly following our fish/dog around a lake when she decides to chase ducks for an hour! Cost (device + phone subscription) is very reasonable and in any case nowhere near what we would give to get our dog back if we couldn't find her! The company is responsive, communicates well and rapidly fixes network issues when they arise, remember this is a communication device with phone and GPS integrated, you need a good structure behind it!
