A location history can offer clues about a dog’s movements, while a geofence can notify you when an updated position falls outside a chosen area. Neither trains recall or prevents a dog from crossing a boundary. Use tracking as additional information alongside appropriate handling.

What to check
Choose a zone that accounts for positioning variation and test the notification chain on familiar walks. A delayed update can mean the dog has already moved beyond the displayed point. Keep the device charged and review the last-update time when an alert arrives.
Before you rely on it
Work on recall and secure walking arrangements with suitable professional help where needed. Avoid treating a map as proof that a dog can safely be let loose near traffic or other hazards. Use route data to understand patterns, not to replace supervision or training.
