Dogs And Technology

[Beckybecbec]

I work with technology, I embrace technology and I use technology - A LOT.

I was searching for updates on a kickstarter Im keen to get onboard with Whistle - http://www.whistle.com/

Its a device you attach to your dogs collar to track his/her activity through the day

Which led me to look at Tagg - http://www.pettracker.com/pet-gps - US only atm but interesting

But THEN I found:

Thank Dog! welcomes you to the world’s first mobile app that combines cardio training, strength training and dog training for you and your dog to do together! You heard that right…we’ve taken 2 of the most needed daily tasks, exercise and an obedience routine and combined them into one mobile app to make your quality of life with your dog…that much greater!

Only for iPhone/iPod though 99c... has anyone tried it? Says in app purchases but I cant find any more info about that.

Really keen to try this out one-on-one with my 7.5mth old SBT... hard to leave the mini schnauzer at home though

Those that use MapMyWalk/MapMyRun - well I didnt realise there is now a MapMyDogWalk and its free

iDevice - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mapmydogwalk-brought-to-you/id492760186

Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapmydogwalk.android2&hl=en

Im keen to try them out in the next few months...

Gosh I want one of those Whistle devices!

I currently just use Runkeeper to track our runs but as someone who love gadgets as well, I would love something like Whistle for the dogs. Pity they aren't shipping to Australia when it is first released!

I use MapMyWalk, might have to upgrade to the doggy version
