Counter Assertion

Until recently, keeping tabs on your pet or hunting dog was restricted to things like the use of electronic fences or just plain old visual contact. If you ever looked into your backyard and couldn’t find your dog, or if you were ever hunting and lost track of where you dog ran off to, you know what a helpless feeling that can be. In today’s technologically-advanced world, there seems to be an answer for everything, and finding a lost dog is no exception.

Many people have a GPS tracking system in their car to help them find their way around an area they aren’t familiar with. Now, there are dog-tracking GPS systems that can track your faithful friend anywhere he goes. Like a GPS tracking system, a dog-tracking GPS features easy to read information on a LCD screen that allows you to locate your pet and shows you his current movements.

A dog-tracking GPS system adds a chip or antenna to your pet’s collar that is used to monitor its location. The options available are increasing as the market demand grows.

One of the more significant offerings in dog-tracking GPS systems is the Garmin Astro 220 GPS, which appeals especially to hunters who may have to locate their dog in tall grass or dense cover. The rugged terrain around Anchorage, AK is what this unit was designed to handle. The Garmin Astro 220 GPS is the first high-sensitivity, GPS-enabled dog tracking system for hunters and sportsmen around places like Anchorage. It starts around $600 for one receiver and one dog collar, but it’s a small price to pay for the piece of mind that comes with knowing where your pet is at any given moment.
