But you could already set your dog up with a smartphone and turn location tracking on. In fact I was looking at that exact setting on my Android phone today, and as a dog woner who sometimes looks after other people's dogs I have thought about this functionality, to go in a small collar device or something.

but that's not spy ware. Spy ware is where you report on location or something but conceal that from the person using the phone.
