Does anyone know of a GPS dog tracking collar that can be accessed from a computer? I have looked at several on the internet, but all of them require a handheld unit, which would be ok, except for the fact that they are limited to line-of-sight transmission. They can only broadcast for, at most, 7 miles. I want to be able to log into my computer and see where my dog is at all times. If he runs out of the transmission range of the handheld unit, then its useless. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Apparently I didn’t give enough details. My dog is a hound and I live in the country. He trails deer and rabbits all of the time. So at times, he can run for miles. And I’m not going to put up a fence or keep him chained in the middle of nowhere. I’m 10 miles from the nearest major highway. If you can’t provide a GPS based solution, please do not respond. Thanks.

my dad promised me that when we move, i can get a dog and im really excited. well they are going to live in a place where it can get really hot in the summer and some what cold in the winter. they are going to live by the Red River between Oklahoma and Texas. the dog will need to be both indoor and an outdoor dog. i really want more of an indoor dog. but i need to be able to stay outside. also it needs to be a good swimmer and somewhat or a good tracker (this is not necessary but would be nice since they are going to live in the country). i want this dog to be loyal to me but not only me. i would like it to be sociable as well.
sorry about that long paragraph! (:
thanks in advance! (:

I have an 8 week old female wolf hybrid pup (Arctic, Timber wolf, Malamute, Aussie Shepherd, Husky mix). She’s doing really great right now with housebreaking and I’m in the process of teaching her that my other older dog is NOT her chew toy (he won’t take up for himself…). She’s not all that hyper right now, likes to play but sleeps most of the time. I know she’ll need lots of exercise when she gets older and was wondering if she might make a good hunting dog. I was thinking of using her as a tracker for when I bow hunt or to dig out groundhogs. Her family has a lot of workers in it; dad is a full Aussie Shepherd who works a cattle farm, grandmother was lead dog in 2 Iditarod races, and her mother also works cattle. I want to make sure she has plenty to do as she gets older so I don’t have aggression problems with her. This is my first wolf dog and I’m just trying to get some ideas on how to keep her occupied once the wolf in her starts to kick in.
She has been sleeping in the bed with me and my other dog, but since I’m having trouble with her harassing him, she’s going in her kennel at night until she learns better. She was one of the more submissive pups out of the litter.
Crossing Loki’s (my pup) mom with an Aussie wasn’t intentional; her mom’s owner was going to breed the mother with an Arctic wolf, the Shepherd just got there first. Loki’s mother is really more of a pet than anything… she sleeps inside most nights.
I was thinking of training Loki to track blood trails in case I shot a deer and couldn’t find it on my own. She might make a good rabbit dog too… but I’d need to teach her to not eat the rabbit after she got it.
Thanks in advance to those who are actually trying to help me out; people on the Pets forum just tell me that i’m a gullible twit for getting this dog and that she’s basically not worth the dirt she walks on. Some people would rather be ignorant than try and understand something.

I wish to adopt a deaf dog, but my fear is that she may get lost, so I would like to get her a locator that can be worn on her collar. I found one called Zoombak, but the reviews are not great. Can anyone recommend a better one? (I need one that would give me quick and constant alerts as to her position in case she got out of the house.) Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the suggestion Erica. The thing is, I already have a fence. My concern is that the dog could escape if someone accidentally left the gate open, which does happen.
