     Finally, technology for our best friends! GPS Dog Tracking Collars and Systems have been around for many years in the farming industry, but now it is offered to domestic pet owners. Dog owners/trainers can now ensure themselves of peace of mind if their dog is ever lost or stolen. A GPS Tracking device has a GPS modem, and a receiver with software incorporated into the system to locate your dog instantely. The most important thing to keep in mind when shopping for a GPS Collar is the service that supports it. GPS Collars work by establishing a safe zone, generally a yard, or an area where the dog is free to run. If the dog cross the area the owner will be alerted at that moment via e-mail or phone. Your dogs will not feel uncomfortable with the collar because the collars are very light. GPS Tracking devices are also waterproof which saves it from rain or other sources of water. There are lots of advantages of this product which is widely available in the market.

There are many Dog Tracking Devices: There are Dog Microchips, GPS Dog Tracking Devices, and others satellite/radio systems. GPS Dog Tracking Device consist of two different features:

1. the device is constantly sending out radio/satellite signals to GPS Tracking Collar
2. the device is constantly listening for the signal coming from the GPS Radio Collar

Dog Microchips has just a information tag. With Dog Microchipping you have to be present to identify your dog and you don't get GPS functionality like the dog GPS where you can locate your dog instantly. With the GPS Dog Tracking Device, you get an active tracking device to locate your pet while the microchip will require your presence to locate your pet. The microchip on your pet is more of ID chip than anything else, but you can go ahead and identify your pet. You can easily track your dog with a GPS Dog Tracking Collar. These are some of the technological advances devices that you can use to protect and locate your dog before it gets lost. In my opinion there are two top brand GPS Dog Tracking Devices:

* Garmin Astro Dog Tracking Device does not use cell phones as modem and instead use VHF radio signals. Garmin Astro has a receiver which can track your dog's position in the densest covers. It is said to locate your dog within 5 miles in every direction depending on terrain and cant track up to 10 dogs at one time.

* RoamEO GPS Tracking Device also does not use cell phone as modem but MURS band at 154.60MHz to locate your pet. It locates your dog within one mile in every direction and can track up to 3 dogs at a time. But best part of it is it can be used even when there is no cell network coverage and there is no additional cost.

Both equipments have diferent features, and diferent prices too. Like I said before, you should buy the service which can provide you the best needs for your porposes.
