„I just had to call Zoe“
Apart from our two-year-old Border Collie bitch Zoe we own 2 ponies which we take for a ride in the open fields every day. And Zoe is always with us. The only problem is that our bitch panics when she gets close to an electrical fence. Unfortunately, we cannot completely avoid this, as we spend so much time in and around the stable.
Apart from our two-year-old Border Collie bitch Zoe we own 2 ponies which we take for a ride in the open fields every day. And Zoe is always with us. The only problem is that our bitch panics when she gets close to an electrical fence. Unfortunately, we cannot completely avoid this, as we spend so much time in and around the stable.When this happens and she runs scared she does not respond to any commands anymore, and she would not make herself felt if one walks / drives past her. This led us to search for our dog already a couple of times for more than 5 hours - and it was mere chance that we got her back. Mostly, because somebody had picked her up. She already wears a Tasso tag with our telephone number, but this is of no help when nobody realizes that this dog "escaped".
So, it happened that several people saw her in a village, but nobody gave it a thought until someone recognized our dog and called us. Someday we found the Geodog collar in the Internet and we were thrilled by all its features. Also, the price was convincing, as well as the favourable price for the tracking (only standard SMS fees). Thanks to the protection sleeve it also fits our rather small bitch (18 kg). The size of the collar is OK and the weight is no problem. Only a couple of weeks after we bought the collar it happened again.... While she was playing, Zoe came close to an electrical fence and fled in panic.
I then just called Zoe, and the Geodog collar sent me a SMS with a link to the whereabouts of our dog. This way, I was able to pick up our dog safe and sound after only a couple of minutes in the neighbouring place. Without Geodog we would have spent hours of waiting and searching again, not to mention the dangers she could encounter in the meantime, e.g. in the road traffic. At home our bitch does not need the Geodog collar, but when we go to the stables or for a ride it is worth its weight in gold. I think that every dog owner knows how it feels not to know where the dog is and if it is safe.
