Whistle is our pacifier! 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!

Active English Setter We love Whistle. We have a very active English Setter - both in daily activity, and in the field. Being a numbers person, it is cool to see the validation of his daily metrics. It is also reassuring that we are providing the best exercise, and that he is within the markers for drinking water, scratching and licking. The GPS is an added security, that we hope we NEVER have to use. Strongly recommend Whistle!

Weak straps, keep getting lost, poor customer service 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.

I like that I can monitor things like… I like that I can monitor things like how much time my dog spends drinking, how much exercise she gets (we have a fenced yard, so she is not totally dependent upon walks for exercise), and whether she is sleeping well. I also like that I can get information about how many calories she burns so that I can make sure that I am not over- or underfeeding her. And, since she's a Siberian Husky, I like that, if. she does escape, I can track her and get her back quickly. Recently, she opened the locked screen door and let herself out. I found her within a few minutes, but, unfortunately, not until she found the local skunk family.

I have used multiple whistle products… I have used multiple whistle products and I finally had enough so I'm writing a review. Every time I'm going on vacation or anywhere where I would actually need to whistle it turns out whistle is not working the app is frozen you need to reset the device etc etc basically meaning to keep the device working plan and debugging it once a month. Not to mention the GPS location is so inaccurate if you need to find your dog I hope you can yell across three or 400 yards. Truly a disgrace of a simple device. Stay away Oh and they are not giving me my money back per their contract because my credit card has expired so they are keeping my money as punishment for my card expiring.
