I have a Tractive and it’s been brilliant, allowing me to find my girls several times. On one memorable occasion I was on the top of a hill looking for her, whilst she was heading back into the village looking for me….

Can second Tractive.

Got separated from DH and DDog once and was able to catch up with them, via the live setting.

Just be aware that if you’re in areas with poor mobile reception, or the dog is in woodland, the signal is not 100% reliable - even on “live” you can lose contact for several minutes.
(My lurcher can cover quite a distance in several minutes!)
Yes, it will pick them up eventually.

I've used pawfit for a couple of years without issue.

Some trackers, like pawfit use multiple networks, however be aware some don't so, coverage can be more patchy.

Tractive here too.
Just occasionally it loses signal but not often (and we are very rural!)
I wouldn't be without it as my girl does like to disappear!

She managed to lose it a few weeks ago, and we were able to track it back to the exact spot where it had come off which shows how accurate it is!
