Canine Tracking Systems
Tracking man's best friend
Canines are man's best friend. This is true for many reasons. Not only are they companions but they can be our play mate, wrestling partner, running companion or personal body guard. Many hunters use them for tracking and retrieving.
Given canines are adept in hunting activities certain devices were created in order to help hunters monitor their dogs. Hunters generally have a close attachment to the dog and want to be sure it is both safe and performing according to its training.
Basically, a dog tracking system is a device used to track the activities of dogs while they are out hunting by monitoring dogs on their location, current activity, or check whenever dogs have already gotten the prey.
Canine tracking systems come in two varieties, a collar or a harness with a transmitter. Either one or the other is worn by the dog. This is part one of the system. Part two is the hand-held receiver held by the hunter.
It is important to understand the range of these systems. Generally, when manufacturers state the range of a dog tracking collar/harness, they are referring the distance the collar can be detected over a flat and unobstructed terrain. These distances are quoted under ideal circumstances such as a clear line of sight and a fully charged transmitter. Range can be reduced with differences in terrain or a weak collar.
However, not all hunting is done in ideal conditions. Terrains can be mountainous, rolling, hilly, obstructed, etc. This makes it very important to understand the particular terrain usage of the tracking system.
Another aspect of these tracking systems is the direction. Fortunately, many dog tracking collar receivers are equipped with a directional antenna to help determine the direction of the signal and the bearing to the dog. This lets the hunter know the almost exact position of the dog.
If your dog tracking collar system is capable of tracking multiple collars on a single band be sure you use collars with a large enough frequency gap to avoid overlapping. Some systems operate on one or more different bands.
Depending on the receiver you choose you will be able to track from 1 to 1000 dogs. So, basically, if you are tracking multiple dogs you may need multiple bands.
