#12I wonder how dog would think about it?

#14Seems like a cool concept for owners that leave their dog at home during the day. Could finally figure out what those rascals are up to. Or if an uncommon spike of activity happens in the middle of the day, you may want to check in at home.

I've checked with a webcam. Almost always sleeping.

That's how I've been using Tagg, a competing (and much uglier) device. It lets me know when the walker takes my dogs out, how much exercise they got and where they went. Plus I get the peace of mind that I can trigger a Lost My Phone kind of feature if they ever got lost.

#16What about the dogs privacy ?
Re: Fitbit for Dogs
#17Why no GPS integration? Would it affect the battery life to poorly?

#18"Whistle lets you know who's spending time with your dog while you're away, be it family or friends."
How the hell does it do that? Before I saw the founders comment here on HN I thought this was an elaborate ruse because of this "feature."

This is a neat device, but GPS would seal the deal for me. I've looked at Tagg (http://www.pettracker.com/) which has it, but it isn't waterproof which a must for my Lab who loves to swim.
