Tractive GPS DOG 4 dog tracker with rubber straps (MPN TRNJACLB3)

Tractive GPS DOG 4 dog tracker with rubber straps is a compact GPS tracking device designed to monitor a dog’s location in real time via the Tractive mobile app. The tracker attaches to the collar using included rubber straps and provides live tracking, virtual fence (safe zone) alerts and location history, helping owners keep track of pets during walks, outdoor activities or when a dog tends to roam.

Advantages

The device offers continuous live tracking and precise location updates that can be viewed in the Tractive app. Virtual fence (safe zone) alerts notify the owner when the dog leaves a predefined area. Location history and movement routes are recorded so you can review past activity. The rubber straps provide a secure, weather-resistant attachment to most collars and are simple to fit and remove.

Suitable for

• Pet owners who need real-time location tracking of dogs during walks or outdoor activities
• Dogs that have a tendency to roam or escape from home
• Situations requiring geofencing alerts and reviewable location history
• Owners who prefer a compact tracker that attaches to a collar using rubber straps

When it may not be suitable

The tracker relies on cellular and GPS coverage for real-time location updates; in areas with poor reception or dense indoor environments, updates can be delayed or unavailable. The rubber straps are designed for standard collars but may not be compatible with nonstandard or very thick heavy-duty collars.

How to use

Attach the tracker to the dog’s collar using the supplied rubber straps, ensuring it is securely fastened and positioned so the device has a clear view of the sky for best GPS reception.

Configure safe zones (virtual fences), notification preferences and activity settings through the app. Check battery status and location history within the app as needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, place the tracker on a collar that allows the device to sit upright and unobstructed, keep the tracker charged according to usage patterns, and configure safe zones appropriate to your home and usual walking areas to receive timely alerts when the dog leaves a designated area.
