Does your dog also tend to get scared by a noise and try to run away? That’s what happened to Dorian, whose dog ran away but was quickly found thanks to Minitailz! A few weeks later, he shares his story with us…
Let’s get to know each other a bit, can you tell me more about yourself and your dog in a few words? #
I am Dorian Allibert, 40 years old, from Frejus, France. Father of a 4-year-old boy, and a big lover of the outdoors (practicing enduro mountain biking, camping in a rooftop tent…)
Charly, a Border Collie adopted in early July, coming from a shelter. He was announced as a runaway dog. So to avoid “losing” him, I opted for a Minitailz.
What led you to equip yourself with Minitailz? #
The fact that the dog was announced as a runaway. And the “Apple Watch” aspect of the dog’s health data appealed to me.
How did you hear about Minitailz? #
I am already an Invoxia customer with a GPS tracker in my EBIKE.
Why did you choose this dog tracker? #
Firstly, because I am a bit chauvinistic… haha! And for the practical, sturdy, waterproof aspect. Regarding quality, I wasn’t worried.
How does Minitailz help you on a daily basis? #
We track the activity daily thanks to Minitailz, so when we see that we are a bit limited in activity, it allows us to take the dog out for more activity. No disease detection so far (and I hope to keep it that way…).
What is or are the features you like the most about Minitailz? #
The GPS, and the activity report.
You recently found your dog thanks to Minitailz: can you tell us that story? #
YES! Just a few days ago. The dog got scared in the house and jumped over the gate (something he had never done before).
We immediately activated the “live tracking” and found him 15 minutes later, at a neighbor’s house 3 streets away. Without Minitailz, we wouldn’t have found him that quickly!
Runaway dog, how to avoid the scares? #
Having a runaway dog can be a real source of stress for some owners. It is often complicated to manage this behavior, unless you tie your dog when he is in the garden or when a door of the house is open. And a gate is not a sufficient obstacle…
So if, like Dorian, your dog tends to want to run away, the ideal is to equip him with a GPS tracker for dogs. It doesn’t prevent him from jumping the fence, but it allows you to react quickly while knowing exactly where he is!
Track my dogWith Minitailz and its integrated GPS, you have the ability to:
- track all your dog’s movements, even when you are not nearby
- create virtual fences and be alerted if he leaves the area
- activate Live Tracking in case of escape so that the frequency of position updates is even higher
A true connected watch for dogs, Minitailz also offers you complete health and activity data. This allows you to keep an eye on your dog, in every sense of the word!
