I’m sure some of you are dying for a puppy update. Garçon is now 11 months old and is doing great. Here’s a picture of him with his littermate Henri. Anyway, Amy and I are ridiculously attached to the little guy, and want to do everything to ensure he’s safe, but he’s still a hunting dog. He’s going to run around off leash in the woods and occasionally get himself into somewhat dangerous situations. That’s why one of my first big purchases for the dog was a GPS enabled tracking and training collar from Garmin. It’s expensive hardware, but cheap marital insurance. It’s not a product for most consumers, but there is a similar solution from a company named Snaptracs. They are based in San Diego, CA, and they’re behind the Tagg Pet Tracker. It’s a system that “allows you to track your pet’s location and activity from your computer or mobile device.”

Researching Snaptracs has been a little confusing. I’ve had my eye on Tagg for a while, but never could find any job postings. They were originally part of Qualcomm, but apparently were sold to a private equity firm last year. The Snaptracs brand is hard to find much on beyond a LinkedIn profile. Most of the branding seems to be for Tagg, but to confuse things even more their domain is PetTracker.com. That’s where you can learn a lot more about how their product lets you keep tabs on your dog. It’s not a miracle solution (it needs to be charged pretty often), but it can be the difference between a lost dog (or worse) and having a warm furry body on your lap. Unfortunately, Snaptracs doesn’t appear to have a jobs page, but the lefthand sidebar should show you anything that is available. Right now there’s an unpaid Marketing Internship that seems to be open to recent graduates.
