Activity Trackers

Does anyone use an activity tracker for their mastiff? I recently got a FitBark gor Jiggers and it has been interesting to see how he spends his days. Cost dictated only one now and it seemed natural to use it on the more active dog but I am considering getting one for Kryten in the future.
This is how you wear out a hyper dog.

I haven‘t personally used it, but I find the concept interesting. There is a show (Your pet makeover), which deals with overweight animals. They have been using the FitBark quite a lot.
 

Bailey's Mom

What a snuggle bunny. Oh, and I was thinking about a spy cam myself. I'm pretty sure Bailey goes back to sleep after I go to work and only wanders down stairs about 1/2 an hour before I come home. She's always in the front window with her head up on the sill.

I was interested in seeing how far my step-son walks her when he takes her out. I have always suspected that he meets up with friends and stands around. I'd love to catch him in the (non) act. But I guess a FitBark might tell me a lot. If I checked the steps before he takes her out, I'd know approx how far he took her.

Hmm, that’s pretty neat. We actually got a camera so that we could see what Lettie was doing while we were gone. Turns out she sneaks onto the couch without disturbing all the stuff we put up there to keep her off. :confused: Jiggers is very handsome, he looks incredibly soft too!

It was really interesting seeing just how little he does during the day. My roommate works night so is home and awake during the mornings so he has some activity then but there is nothing really between when she goes to bed and I get home. This is an example of his weekday activity.

That‘s interesting data. Thank you for sharing. Most Mastiff owners are probably going to see very low activitiy levels, which shouldn‘t be a surprise :) In your case, a direct comparison between both dogs would be cool.
