Electric gadget

[caretaker]

I am looking for a battery powered remote buzzer gadget .
I will try to explain to you all.
My little dog likes to have a forage in the bushes and undergrowth but some times he gets so far in I loose track were he is, he dose come back but it would be nice to know what direction he is.
I was thinking on the lines of like a remote door bell or gadget, say a small bleeper that would clip to his harness and a remote control hand held, and when I press a button it bleeps once, that way I would know if he was near by.
Has anyone seen anything like ?

Ferret locator collar, bit more hi tech and expensive than what you are asking about, are used to find ferrets and terriers when underground. Quite often on ebay.

I wonder if one of those whistle key rings would work ?

It may sound daft, but wouldn't it be better to train him to come back when you call?

You could possibly adapt a wireless doorbell? remove it from the case, separate the battery and heat shrink it to collar sized pieces?

I have just ordered the doorbell, will give it a go.
It will be only used on one area as he chases rabbits in to the bushes, a large area and seems to exit not the place he enters.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

Use a cheap mobile phone. You'll hear it ring, and you can shout at him too!

Once you have taught him to answer it!!!!

Clip a walkie-talkie to his collar? Might be lighter than a doorbell.

If you use the door bell don't forget to take the door off it :roll: :roll:

OK, I'll get me hat! :mrgreen:

Heat-sensitive camera?

Best and most economic course is teach him to come when you call. If he gets a treat each time he'll also get the idea pretty quickly. I think someone beat me to it!
