the "you're holding it wrong" argument.Sounds like you should of paired the Airtag to your wife's phone and not yours if you regularly travel for work. Ultimately Apple should enable family sharing so a family group can track items.
nice

I have one on my new labradoodle for a couple reasons and after seeing people test them out, I’m confident that it would do its job if he ran off. Think about what happens when you lose your dog. He runs off, likely staying in your neighborhood or being picked up by a neighbor or animal control. If either happens, the neighbors will usually travel around for a bit looking for a possible match to the owner. If animal control happens to pick them up, they are in contact with a lot of people, especially once they reach the facility. At some point in either of these scenarios, the dog is highly likely to come in contact with multiple people using iPhones which should give you at least some idea of where he is or is going. Even if he is evasive to good samaritans, you will still likely receive pings as people try to catch him and get a general sense of his location. Add that with an attached phone number to the collar and you are highly likely to get your dog back.
Personally, I have a thicker leather collar on him so I was able to take a good tape and wrap it around part of the collar. You’d hardly recognize anything is there, let alone a tracking device.
Initially, I was using the iFixit hole method to attach and it actually worked well but I wanted it moving around a lot less long term.

Haha yeah that is actually his happy face. The poodle/lab crazy hair gives him permanent RBF.He looks so enthused. 'You put WHAT on me? REALLY? HOW COULD YOU?'
I had a GSD that would need one, and a 500' rope. He would wander off if you weren't watching him. He was a fantastic dog, aside from that... You never know...
The breeder sent me this today lol.wow he's so adorable! Keep posting new pictures please.

🤷🏼♂️ He has played multiple times in the hose and it still beeps and shows online. I switched to attaching it to the collar itself instead of a ring so if this one ever goes out from water in the hole, I’ll just get another one. It was the first and last time I’ll put a hole through it but was worth a trial to me considering the price of holders is more expensive than the tag…You guys do realize if you drill a hole through it, you're impacting the water resistance, right? Not exactly ideal for something that would be hanging around your dog's collar.
Maybe the Apple ones - the Belkin keyring holder is less than half the price of the AirTag.🤷🏼♂️ He has played multiple times in the hose and it still beeps and shows online.

OK? A hole is free. If it worked, free is free. It works but I don’t like it so I won’t be doing any more tags that way and don’t recommend it to anyone. Not for lack of water resistance but because the battery cover comes off fairly easily and I worry it’ll pop off. Was worth the potential $30 loss to me to find out if I could save on holders. Apple or 3rd party.Maybe the Apple ones - the Belkin keyring holder is less than half the price of the AirTag.
If you want a smaller one, $6.98 on Amazon.My dog is rocking an Air Tag, I'm going to change the holder into something smaller though.

I know it's not perfect and doesn't replace a GPS-tracker, but I still find added value so all good.

funny how they even stated this during the presentationThey're not designed to 'track' anything.
Potential $30 loss vs $10 for a holder… makes senseOK? A hole is free. If it worked, free is free.

And yet it still works… I can live with that.Potential $30 loss vs $10 for a holder… makes sense
I'm glad it still works I just didn't understand your logicAnd yet it still works… I can live with that.
I wanted to try it for myself after watching ifixit do it, so I did it knowing I could potentially lose $30. Not much logic to misunderstand. You seem bothered by my decision to tinker with a $30 device…do you need me to spot you $30?I'm glad it still works I just didn't understand your logic
Yes but you said you tried it to try and save money on a holder, which doesn’t make sense as it was a bigger potential loss.I wanted to try it for myself after watching ifixit do it, so I did it knowing I could potentially lose $30.
