Will the receiver update if my dog is running around while I'm looking for him?

Yes it will. The perimeter of the screen will show which direction he/she is in relation to you facing forward. In the center of the screen will say about how many feet in that direction. If the pet is about less than 15 ft it will say "near"

Yes. It will constantly tell you which direction your dog is from you and it will tell you how many yards away.

I can not speak to the 3 mile distance, i believe the manufacturer says range is up to 2 miles. However, I have located my dog in the surrounding woods near my home without any trouble, the handheld tracking device guides you with an arrow pointing in the direction of the missing dog. As you get closer the device shows a higher percentage on the read out, very effective. I have found the alarm letting you know the dog is out very reliable allowing me to start the search right away.

It detects pretty far out, I have animals 30' away in a pasture and it will often pick their movement up. I don't know about 200' away, would be better if you could mount it closer to the activity. Also, it doesn't pick up 'wide angle' but only straight out in front of the detector. The 1/2 mile transmit claim is valid though!

Yes and sometimes I wouldn't even get a delayed alert. A friend stopped by my house (has a key) and told me afterwards. I never was notified. I returned it for this reason.

Activation is very fast. The subscription is ongoing on a monthly basis after your initial three month subscription unless you decide to cancel. You would have to contact the company to see about reactivating the unit if your dog is lost and you had chosen to cancel.

I, too, use the tone to call my dog and he always comes running. The device does not "sleep" afer periods of inactivity. What may be happening is that the switch for a second dog may be moved. If that happens, the remote will not communicate with the collar. Because I have occasionally "pocket-stimulated" my dog, I have begun using the selector switch to make sure that I don't.

It depends. The system is not as responsive as I expected. It usually takes 8-12 minutes until a notification arrives - and that location is already some minutes old. So if you have a fast traveling pet, good luck. You are dealing with outdated info.The map on the android is not accurate either. Plus, even if you try to locate your pet within the home zone, the map on the mobile device is useless, because it shows the tagg being at the center of the home zone.

These tags are not GPS sensors, but when scanned with any QR code reader app on your smartphone or tablet, the map of your pet's location will be displayed on your pet's profile page under "Last Scanned" so you can track your pet.Any smartphone with a QR code reader will be able to scan the tag. Most devices already has an app you can use to scan. If you don't have one, you can easily install one for free by visiting the app store.

I would guess that it picks up radar 2-3 miles in advance if they are pinging other cars. as far as updatable, I do not know since I just purchased mine recently but would be surprised if it was not

You can't track your dog with the chip. The chip is passive and needs to be scanned. The benefit is that if someone finds your pet and brings it to a vet, the vet can scan the chip and quickly look up your contact info. Its not really better than a collar with your phone number, except that the chip can never come off. If your dog slips out of its collar or runs away while the collar is off, the microchip will always be there.

The manual says, the zone beyond the warning zone where are your pets receiver collar will emit a static correction, signaling him to return to the area. It does not say that it will increase the level of static.

I only see an immediate response when I point it directly at his head. The device seems to work well when the dog is standing in front of me and less effective when the dog is running around. The batteries should be new and a good brand. I have started training other dogs to stay away from my dog by approaching these dogs alone. I use the device on them several times and they started avoiding us when I walk my dog. It feels good to see them keeping a respectful distance.

No. The current location isn't always accurate. And the trackr disconnects time from time giving you a false location.

The receive will track where you walk and you can look at the track on the map software that came with it. You have to connect the GPS unit to a camera to change the setting on the tracking frequency though. You may be able to do this on a computer I am not sure.

This is a small rice sized chip you or your vet will need to inject into your dog. You must register it after that. If you do no register this it has no effect if the dog would be found. This can not track your dog down. I'm not aware of any chips that have a gps/tracking feature.

If you press the locator button, it will make the pet's locator beep. The closer you get, the faster the beep will sound.

Yes. Which means you have to be aware of which dog is live so you don't correct the wrong one
