, and an owner can use a hand held unit to track their pet's location, wherever it may be through a satellite positioning system, similar to the ones used when camping or in your vehicle.

There are many different reasons as a pet owner, you need to have one of these for your dog.

Without GPS dog tracking systems on your pet, if something happens, you won't be able to find your dog until it's too late, either when you get a call from the pound, or if they get hit by a car or something. There have been many movies about pets being separated from their owners, wandering for miles, and only being reunited by some fate. While these are just movies, the truth is that this occurs all the time, whether the get lost during a move, get out of a yard, or even get stolen. In many cases, the pet is never found.

With GPS tracking systems on your dog, you have the peace of mind that this will never happen.

However, many responsible pet owners who love their dogs consider this expense well worth it to have peace of mind that their pet will be safe and healthy. Then you also need to understand the two different types of dog tracking systems. One is the kind that uses the same cell phone signals. The collar sends signals to your cell phone, by emails, or paging you, and you can track your dog using your cell phone or the internet. There are some disadvantages to these systems. One of them is that they use cell phone towers for communications, so if you pet gets out of a tower range, then it won't work. The other drawback is that with these kinds of systems, there may be extra monthly charges, like the ones incurred using your phone.

The other kind of GPS dog tracking systems use radio waves instead of cell phone signals. While these dog tracking systems may not have quite the range, there are no extra charges, and are easy to use with a hand held device.
