Why Choose Bushdog
Dog GPS Trackers & Collar Tech – Buyer’s Guide
Which GPS tracker is best for my dog – Apple AirTag mount or long-range GPS?
If you’re mainly walking your dog in urban areas or local parks, a short-range Apple AirTag collar mount is a lightweight, subscription-free option that works well within Bluetooth range and the Apple Find My network.
If you take your dog hiking, hunting, or exploring remote areas, we recommend a long-range hunting GPS tracker like the Garmin Alpha series. These use satellite and mobile networks for real-time tracking, even in areas with poor coverage.
Can I use a GPS tracker for hunting dogs in remote areas of Australia?
Yes – our hunting dog GPS trackers are designed for outback and bush conditions. They offer long-range satellite tracking, waterproof durability, and can store location history for reviewing your dog’s route. This is essential for areas with low cell service such as rural WA, NT, and QLD.
How do headlamp collar attachments help with night activities?
Our collar-mounted headlamps give you hands-free visibility during night walks, early morning training, or when navigating dense bush. They’re particularly useful for spotting snakes or hazards in rural areas and for keeping your dog visible to vehicles in low light.
Are GPS trackers waterproof?
Most of our GPS devices and mounts are fully waterproof or at least water-resistant, so they can handle rain, creek crossings, and coastal environments. For example, our GoPro collar mounts and Garmin hunting trackers are tested to withstand outdoor adventures in wet conditions.
How long do GPS tracker batteries last?
Battery life varies:
- Apple AirTag mounts: up to 12 months before the battery needs replacing.
- Hunting GPS trackers: typically 20–40 hours of active tracking, depending on update intervals and terrain.
We recommend carrying a portable power bank when heading out for multi-day adventures.
Do GPS trackers work without mobile service?
Short-range trackers like AirTags rely on nearby Apple devices, so they won’t track in truly remote areas without signal.
Satellite-enabled hunting trackers like Garmin models can still send location data without mobile service, making them ideal for off-leash bush and outback trips.
Can I mount a GoPro to my dog’s collar?
Yes – our GoPro and DJI action collar mounts are designed for stability, so you can capture your dog’s-eye view of hikes, hunts, or beach days. For comfort, we recommend pairing them with a wide, padded collar to spread the weight evenly.
