Types of GPS Dog Collars

Portable GPS tracking systems

GPS dog collars and the related GPS tracking systems are actually quite simple and easy to use. The GPS chip itself is so small that your dog will not feel anything different about his collar, but he will protected and well watched-over.

Here is how simple it can be - the three types of GPS dog collar include:

Type A: You call a phone number associated with the unique GPS Dog collar your pet is wearing. The GPS receiver in his collar sends you your dog's location (within a few yards) to your cell phone.  IN this case your cell phone is like a passive portable GPS tracking device.

Type B: Your dog's collar actively tracks her location. If she moves to a location further than a distance you specify your cell phone rings to alert you, and immediately her coordinates are made available.  In this case your cell phone is a more active portable GPS tracking device, but not fully active because its not always tracking or mapping through GPS.

Type C: Your dog wears an always on GPS collar and you can log in to a website on your computer or cell phone and track his movements 24/7.  In this case your cell phone is a fully active portable GPS tracking device.

GPS collars can ensure your dog's security and safety, and with today's technology, your cell phone can be an effective mobile GPS tracking device. They are both convenient and inexpensive, and as you can see, extremely easy to use.
