Note: Dogs under 10 pounds are not well represented on Whistle (the GPS collar is usually too big for them) — and little dogs fit through holes in fences much more easily. Users can also ignore an in-app warning to track their dogs and use the feature recreationally, e.g. to log the distance of a hike through the woods. (However, Whistle told Business Insider that it filtered out most of these events out by finding those where an owner and dog are in roughly the same location.) Self-selection may inflate results, too, since many people who buy Whistle collars do so to keep tabs of problematic dogs. And correlation isn't necessarily causation: Owners who are more likely to create situations in which their dogs run away may gravitate toward these breeds.
