Hunting Dog GPS Tracker for the UK — No Subscription, No SIM
Track your gundogs, lurchers, and working dogs across British moorland, woodland, and shooting estates without a SIM card or monthly fee.
Most hunting dog trackers are cellular devices. They work well near villages, but during a day's shoot across the Scottish Highlands, Pennines, Welsh valleys, or North York Moors, the signal drops and so does your dog's location.
Loko is different. It uses LoRa radio on the 868 MHz band — the same licence-free frequency used across the UK — to transmit GPS positions directly to your handheld receiver. No SIM card, no monthly contract, no mobile coverage needed.

Where Loko Works for UK Hunting
Gundogs & Pointing Breeds
Keep spaniels, setters, and pointers visible across shoots and trials. Your dog goes beyond the beat, and you always know their position on an offline map — no phone coverage required.
Lurchers & Field Trial Dogs
Track lurchers and field trial packs across large estates. One receiver handles multiple dogs simultaneously — ideal for kennels managing several working dogs.
Hill Walking & Off-Leash Dogs
In the Lake District, Snowdonia, Cairngorms, or Dartmoor, keep off-leash dogs visible. If they wander onto restricted land or into unsafe terrain, you locate them quickly.
Fishing & River Dogs
On rivers and coastal areas where mobile signal is unreliable, track fishing dogs retrieving game. Reliable tracking wherever you cast.
UK Regulations & Compatibility
Loko operates on the 868 MHz ISM band, which is licence-free in the UK under Ofcom regulations. No radio licence is required to own or operate the device.
The device complies with UKCA and CE marking requirements. It ships to the UK with no import restrictions.
Unlike cellular trackers, Loko has no roaming charges, no UK carrier dependency, and works identically whether you are in the Scottish Highlands, New Forest, Norfolk Broads, or Yorkshire Dales.
