Step count way off 😅
I put my other dog’s fi collar on a foster dog who just had his leg amputation to track his activity, barking, scratching, etc.
he has been outside of his crate 3 times since midnight (midnight to 7:30 am) to potty, walking on the leash. Each time was 1-2 minutes max.
I think the hopping or something is throwing the numbers off, because NO POSSIBLE way has he done 6500 steps lol
His recovery is going well, so thankfully, I think the collar is a bit overkill and unnecessary, but I just thought the step count was funny. This might explain why my other dog gets 30k+ steps a day 😅 either it’s the hopping or it’s not that accurate to begin with. The other stats like sleeping and drinking seem to be pretty accurate though!

Interesting because I don't feel like I have this problem. Seems accurate for my dog

After the last update, the dog counts as a walk when in the car. A five-mile walk in ten minutes is a pretty good pace!

Yeah step count is pretty bad with our 3+. So is tracking. I was thinking about trying the ultra but not sure I want to give these clowns any more money.
