The Fi App will track your dog across multiple activities and provide you with their real time location information directly within the app. The location information displayed in the Fi App is obtained from different connection sources: Fi Base, Wi-Fi, GPS/LTE and the mobile device(s) of a dog's owner(s). See: How Does the Fi Collar Obtain My Dog’s Location?
If the information in the live card is incorrect, you'll want to check what the collar is connected to. See: How Can I See What My Dog’s Fi Collar Is Connected To?

My Dog Is Home & Connected to My Mobile Device, but the Fi App Is Not Showing My Dog and I at Home
- If the collar is connected to a mobile device, we use the location information provided by that phone as the location of the dog. Sometimes phones can provide a location that is somewhat off, and when the Fi Collar relies on a phone to provide the location report, those inaccuracies will be displayed in the Fi App.
- You can double-check your phone's location by opening a map app, such as Google Maps, to see where your phone is locating you.
- Knowing that a phone can report an inaccurate location, we have specific logic to address this issue. If a phone that connects to a Fi Collar is also connected to a Wi-Fi network known by the collar, we will use the location set for that Wi-Fi network instead of the location report we receive from your phone.
- The best way to prevent inaccurate reports from your phone is to ensure the Fi Base can always see and connect to the Fi Collar, as this will provide the most reliable location data. See: Fi Base: How It Works
