DPS – Dog Positioning System
It is the French firm Num’axes with the telling slogan “Nature & Technologies”, that will solve the temporary dog-less dog owners problem.

Using a collar equipped with GPS, the collars – and thus (hopefully) also the dogs – position over the mobile network to a dog collar position provider.

DPS does not only show the dog’s exact position, but also how far the dog is from its rightful owner.

There is also an opportunity to follow the dog’s movements on Num’axes website of the DPS owners.

The imagination is overwhelmingly in the French firm.

The dog is barking – underground

Contact Pro version of the DPS is equipped with a barking indicator.

So the dog owner does not only where the dog is, but also if the dog is barking.

But it does not stop here.

The French firm also offers a ULS – Underground Location System.

So if your terrier is chasing moles and have dug itself into the lawn, under the neighbor’s fence and is now trying to create the tunnel to a nearby country, then the ULS system can locate the terrier again.

The underground-dog collars site submits higher and higher frequencies, the closer you get to the digging terrier.

So forget metal detectors. In the future we will see people walking around on the beach – not searching for money, but missing terriers.

But there is more.

Train the dog with stimulants
Built in the DPS is a so-called GeoFence system where the dog owner can define prohibited and permitted zones.

If the dog enters into one of the prohibited areas the dog owner will receive an alert on his mobile phone.

It is not clear whether GeoFence a downgraded version of Canifugue – pet fencing.

Here the dog is warned with a beep if it is moving towards a prohibited area.
If it continues, then it is “corrected it with a stimulation” as it says on the web site.

PS. The British, who after all love their animals – but perhaps not their children? – has taken it a step further.
They do not use DPS to their dogs, but RFID tags for their children.

Which course in the homeland of Pink Floyds has generated the website “Leave them kids alone”

As far as I know, the English system is not expanded, with a “corrective stimulus” if the children are not where they are expected to be…

According to GPS data, the message was sent from a residential area that was 6 kilometers away from her house. The police and parents arrived almost simultaneously and rescued the child. Events like this support the usefulness of this new kid tracking technology, including GPS and active RFID (Radio-frequency identification). From a child’s perspective, GPS and/or active RFID tags make their lives safe.

Some might argue that GPS kids watches are an excuse for parents to neglect looking after their child and that the GPS kids watch instead will be used as a nanny and indeed I guess that is a possibility. Some parents might take the approach that they do not need to look after their or talk to their child, when in fact that is excatly what they should.

Other critical voices are quick to draw references to Orwels “1984″ Big Brother society, stating that the GPS kids watch is a violation of the child’s integrity and personal freedom. Again this is a valid point, but wearing a GPS kids watch might just to help prevent child abduction or wandering lost children.

Some GPS kids devices can be worn as a watch, where the child actively has to press a panic button, which will then alert the parents. Other devices can be activated by the parents with a phone call or text message to the device, which will the “answer” with the exact location of the device.

The best child locator I’ve come across is the
