On The Move - Keep Tabs on all the "kids" - Trax GPS

With every day that passes my little sister becomes more and more mobile.

While she may technically be moving she’s not exactly great at the whole “mobile” thing yet….especially the backing up part! Which means mom has to keep her eyes glued to Baby P pretty much all the time.

Now I’m a good dog 90% of the time (hey, we can’t all be perfect), and that other 10%….well, I sort of like to push the boundaries a little bit. What can I say, I am a stubborn DACHSHUND!

Mainly though, I just like to run (well and hunt, and dig, and roll in stinky stuff….but that’s a story for another day). So when mom has eyes on Baby P, she can’t keep tabs on me too – especially when I’m enjoying my time out on the farm.

Lucky for my mom she has had a secret weapon for many years now, the Trax GPS Tracker for Pets. While you might remember me mentioning Trax before, this time I got to take the newer Trax Play for a spin. Being the World’s smallest and lightest live GPS tracker on the market, it’s perfectly sized for a little dog like me!

Mom breathes a little easier when I’m wearing my Trax Play because she can worry more about making sure my sister doesn’t drive off a cliff, and less about where I’m wandering. Moms…..they are always worrying about their “kids”!

While I’ve tried many GPS trackers over the years, one of the main reasons my family keeps coming back to Trax as their favorite is because of the ability to add multiple custom geo-fences.

Geo-fences are basically “safe areas” that your pet can be, but should I wander too far and leave the geo-fence then mom gets a text alert on her phone to let her know I left the vicinity. Most of the other Pet GPS Trackers out there only allow you to create circular radiuses and only one per unit, but with Trax you can really be custom about your pet’s safe area.

Another cool feature is the augmented reality, where you can use your phone’s camera to locate your pet. When you point the camera in your dogs direction, an icon, with a distance indicator, will guide you to their location. Pretty cool, even if it does give away all of my secret ground hog hole locations!

Battery life in the new Trax Play is new and improved too, lasting up to 3 days on one charge! The only thing that would make Trax even better in mom’s eyes is if they added a sound locater (then I wouldn’t have to wear my annoying bells on the farm!).

You can learn more about all the features of the Trax Play on their website.

You can shop Trax Play which is available with a data plan for as low as $4.00/month – which is much lower than many comparable products on the market. Another reason why we love them!

And what’s even better is you can use code ammo10 for 10% off your purchase! Ammo the Dachshund // Blog Signature // Celebrity

Dog Clicker App Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: This review and giveaway is brought to you by Smart Dog Clicker.

Since it’s Birthday week here on the blog I’ve packed in as many fun giveaways and goodies as I could for all of my faithful readers!

I recently got the chance to test out the Smart Dog Clicker App for iPhone. Most of you probably already know that I’m an avid fan of clicker training and my mom has been using this training method since day 1 with me.

Now if you’re unfamiliar with clicker training you can brush up on the basics, but essentially the Smart Dog Clicker App puts a “clicker” conveniently in your hands without the need to carry around one in your pocket.

For people and dogs who prefer the mechanical sound of a clicker when training this is useful, for me personally mom usually uses a click of her tongue – making it not totally necessary for her to carry one around for training on the fly.

With the Smart Dog Clicker App you’ll still need to provide your own treats for any training sessions with your dog, but at least you won’t have to carry around a bulky clicker.

The elite version of the app also comes with tips for teaching your dog 32 different tricks.

Some of the tricks are pretty basic, like sit and and stay.

But there are a few more complex tricks like playing dead, bow, and yawn. Full disclosure though, I did wish the steps were a bit more detailed and perhaps in a step by step guide.

As you can see I’m already an expert at playing dead, but there are a few on the list I might have to try.

The Smart Dog Clicker is available from the iTunes App store for iPhone in a free version (which includes ads and a limited list of tricks) and an elite version for $1.99 which includes no ads and the full list of tricks.

And now for the best part….
