My dog has one on her collar. She got lost once, after chasing a squirrel, so it was a no brainer. The cool thing is that you can make it go off, by pressing a button, and train the dog to come to you when it chirps. I hope I never need to use it in an emergency, but it's good to know I'm prepared.
That's a great recall cue.
Isnt that chirp kind of loud to be right next to their really sensitive ears? Ive only heard a 3rd party one chirp and it hurt...
The AirTag chirp is not that loud. Yes if you held it right to your ear canal it might be uncomfortable but the distance from neck collar to ear I wouldn’t worry about.
That makes me feel a little better. Dobt they have much more sensitive hearing than we do though?
Sensitive like a fine-tuned instrument or detector, not sensitive like a delicate item!
Any dog’s bark is significantly louder than an AirTag chirp. It’s fine.
Good to know :)
