Awesome Fitness/Health Tracker for Busy Dogs Bought Whistle collars as a gift for our three grand dogs and their parents. Also got the health/fitness/ location tracking apps. These keep track of WHERE our four legged family members are, what they are doing or not doing and what is happening health and fitness wise on a daily and weekly and ongoing basis. We have our watches and they have their Whistle collars and everyone’s taking a little bit better care of ourselves now that we’re getting feedback. The location trackers are terrific for peace of mind. These sync perfectly with iPhones. Pricey but totally worth it.

We have 3 Whistle devices - 1 old, 2 newer (2024) - inconsistent tracking We tried our first whistle gps device several years ago and it worked perfectly. Now, several years later, we got two new puppies and “thought” we were purchasing two “Go Explore” gps whistle devices like the first one we bought - but the two new ones are not consistently tracking operating as we had hoped. Customer service has tried to help us “fix” the ongoing issue, but oftentimes, our pups have run away with no notification from the two newest whistles around their necks whereas, the original unit purchased years ago continues to work pretty well. We are told only having one cell tower in the area, and possible issues with our WIFI, are at fault but we cannot solve the issue. Recently, my husband walked both pups on leashes outside the safe zone -both with the newer whistle models -while I was out of town. We both only got a notification that one pup was out of the safe area even though they were walking side by side. He walked them again the next day, again, we were notified one dog -not two-had left the safe zone. This time the notification was for the other dog. Yesterday, I was working in my studio with all three pets with whistle devices right there with me -some inside the studio and some outside in a fenced area. But, I suddenly got a notification that a pet was 700 ft from home. I panicked, ran outside looking for the pet but the whistle gps couldn’t locate her (same wifi as the house) - so I returned to the studio only to find the pet was sitting right there-sleeping. Today, our female pup got away and ran far from home. I clicked “find your pet” but got nothing-the gps kept buffering and told me nothing of her whereabouts. I jumped in the car and chased after her, but still no notification from Whistle that she had left the safe zone. I finally found her about a half mile from him. After she was safely back home, I got a notification from whistle saying it couldn’t locate her and to try back later. A few hours later it said she was home. The company has a 30 day window to get your money back so if you do go for the whistle Go Explore unit, be sure the units are working for you, consistently, within the 30 day refund period.

One of the best purchases I've ever made! Device has been flawless since I purchased from the Whistle website in March of 2020. I have been saved from losing my dog Piper multiple times solely due to my whistle and how accurate the tracking is. The company also regularly releases updates and the app has improved significantly in the time I've had the device, especially when it comes to tracking allergies and licking/scratching. One of the best purchases I've ever made.

I have used multiple whistle products… I have used multiple whistle products and I finally had enough so I'm writing a review. Every time I'm going on vacation or anywhere where I would actually need to whistle it turns out whistle is not working the app is frozen you need to reset the device etc etc basically meaning to keep the device working plan and debugging it once a month. Not to mention the GPS location is so inaccurate if you need to find your dog I hope you can yell across three or 400 yards. Truly a disgrace of a simple device. Stay away Oh and they are not giving me my money back per their contract because my credit card has expired so they are keeping my money as punishment for my card expiring.

Support refuses to be reasonable Company will blame everything but the device for obvious physical defects. Had device for about 11 months now. About 2 months ago battery life began declining. 3 weeks ago it degraded to >24h and less than 10m to charge to "full". Things claimed to need to be ruled out which could not within the laws of physics be responsible: Network settings Wifi connection Phone app version DNS WIFI password WIFI band DHCP IP version Do not recommend due to terrible, still unresolved over a week later, support. No ability to choose service refund when device fails due to poor manufacturing.
