We have had the same crazy dog for nine years now. We adopted her from the pound eight years ago, and were told that she will calm down after about six months. Well, we are still waiting for that day to arrive, because she is as crazy as they come to this day. She would never hurt anyone, and instantly becomes everyone’s friend. She just loves to interact with people. Our old neighborhood was more close knit, and she used to dig out underneath the six foot stockade fence to go pay the neghiboring houses a visit. A few years ago we moved into a more woodsy setting, and that is when her houdini act kicked into high gear.

With homes spread farther apart on our little country backroad, we decided to get an electric fence as opposed to the wooden stockade fence she easily escaped. That being said, we have had to chase her down several times over the past three years. See, electric fences do not confine crazy dogs, I have come to conclude. Tracking her down is never a lot of fun, either, especially in the winter. With the GPS technologies out there, it has not only made it easy to get from here to there, but also a great new way of tracking someone or something. So the GPS Dog Collar might be just what I need for my adventurous pooch.

It looks like an ordinary collar, and says that it is not harmful to the dog, which is good. Although I am not too sure they have determined if GPS devices are harmful or not. There is a small GPS chip attached to this very light collar and has about a two week battery life before it needs recharging. It comes with the collar (which has a reflective glow in the dark surface), a GPS device, and an online tracking system that will let you find your dog no matter where he or she may be hiding. Just think, my doggie will easily be found when she tries to go out for a night on the town. All I have to do is look for a little blip on the computer screen. Apparently there is an over the phone tracking system, as well, although the website didn’t mention a thing about it.

The collar seems to cost a bit of money, and knowing that my dog has slipped out of a few collars in the past, this ultimately might not be what I am looking for. If only I could implant the GPS device into the dog, now there is a thought I can swallow a bit easier. Or how about kids? My oldest daughter is turning 14, and is starting to date. She would look funny wearing a dog collar, but I may be able to do something about that.
