GPS dog walk tracking FAQ
Is Tails a free dog walk tracking app?
Yes. Tails is free on iPhone and lets you track dog walks, routes, and shared family activity in one app.
Can my family and dog walker all track the same dog?
Yes. Everyone shares the same pet profile and walk history, so the full exercise picture stays in one place.
Can I watch a walk live when my walker has the leash?
Yes. During an active walk, Tails can show the live route and save the completed path after the walk ends.
Can Tails automatically start and end walks?
It can if Tails stays open in the background. The app can notice when you leave home with your dog, start tracking, and save the walk when you get back.
Do I need a GPS dog collar for daily walk history?
No. If your goal is daily exercise tracking, shared visibility, and live walk routes, Tails works from your phone without extra hardware.
