As long as the pet is inside the Wi-Fi signal, the Whistle 3 stays in a Power Save mode with GPS turned off. Once that's done, you've automatically created the safe zone in which your pet is considered secure at home-your Wi-Fi's range. Using Bluetooth, the app will find the tracker and connect it to Wi-Fi through your phone. To get started, your smartphone and the Whistle 3 must be within range of your home Wi-Fi network. It's a completely different app from the one used with Whistle GPS.

Whistle 3 - SetupSetup requires the free mobile app, which you can download for your Android or iOS device. Check your local coverage (Opens in a new window), then test it where you live-you have 90 days to return the Whistle if local tracking doesn't work well in your area. Because of this, it isn't going to find your pet if you're somewhere without AT&T 3G service. It doesn't matter what carrier your smartphone uses, as AT&T's towers talk directly to the tracker. GPS positioning info is provided by AT&T. I typically found myself charging the tracker about every six days (with a long walk each day), which is still pretty great compared with the competition (the Link AKC doesn't even last half that long). Battery life is rated for up to seven days of continuous use, but that's if your animal never leaves the home-area Wi-Fi, as GPS use will eat up battery faster. When you charge the tracker, a small light on it shines orange, then green when fully powered -you'll also get a notification from the app.
It feels unlikely to come loose during any canine shenanigans, and didn't in testing. It does the same on the collar bracket, with the added step of pressing a spring-loaded button first to release it. The tracker easily locks into the charger with a 90-degree twist. It's rated IP67 for dirt, shock, and water resistance, which means it should be OK if your pet takes a quick dip in the lake or pool. Gone is the brushed steel look of the Whistle GPS, replaced by a friendlier gray plastic. Naturally, it'll still stand out on teacup-sized canines or kittens, but not as much as the older Whistle GPS or the Link AKC. It looks reasonably sized on small dogs, such as my test hound, Madison, who weighs about 32 pounds (it's recommended for pets eight pounds and up). The tracker itself measures 1.45 by 1.82 by 0.61 inches (HWD) and weighs 1.25 ounces with the bracket. Previous Whistle devices were quite large and obtrusive, whereas the Whistle 3 is 50 percent smaller according to the company.

The Whistle's lowest two-year total cost is $246.75, a full $99.05 less than you'll spend on the Link AKC ($99.99 at ) (Opens in a new window) over the same period. That makes the required GPS service fee go down easier: $9.95 per month, $95.40 for one year, or $166.80 for two years. The Whistle 3 is priced competitively, with a relatively low initial cost of $79.95.
These features, along with a more affordable price than many competitors, earn the Whistle 3 our Editors' Choice for pet activity and location trackers. And it's easy to set multiple safe zones for places you visit or work. You no longer need a base station to create a safe zone, relying instead on your home Wi-Fi signal. The smartphone app that controls it is simple and intuitive. The $79.95 Whistle 3 is the smallest device we've seen yet for tracking your dog or cat's activity and location. Whistle Labs has been focused on refinement since buying Tagg a couple of years ago. Lag for initial notification when pet travels out of safe zone.
