How do Tractive leaderboards work?

Leaderboards let you compare your dog's activity with other dog owners. See how your dog ranks and stay motivated to keep them active and healthy.

Note: Leaderboards are for dogs only. You can still track your cat’s activity and health, but they won't appear on leaderboards.

 

What Tractive leaderboards are

Leaderboards show which dogs are the most active in different groups. Your dog earns a spot on the leaderboard based on how many active minutes they get each day.

You can compete with friends, people near you, or dog owners around the world. Leaderboards reset at the end of each month, so everyone starts fresh.

 


 

Types of leaderboards

Global Leaderboard

See how your dog ranks compared to all Tractive users worldwide. This shows the most active dogs everywhere.

 

Breed Leaderboard

Compare your dog with others of the same breed. Great for seeing how your Golden Retriever compares to other Golden Retrievers.

 

Local Leaderboard

Find the most active dogs near you (within 100 km or about 60 miles). This helps you connect with dog owners in your area.

 

Friends Leaderboard

Compete with friends who also use Tractive. See whose dog gets the most active minutes and cheer each other on.

What information appears on leaderboards

Leaderboards show the following details of your dog:

  • Name
  • Age
  • Breed
  • Sex
  • Active minutes (how much they moved)

Your private information (like your name, email, or address) is never shown to other users.

📌 Important: Keep your dog’s name appropriate so they’re not removed from the leaderboards.

 


 

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to join leaderboards?

No. Leaderboards are optional. You can track your pet's health and activity without joining leaderboards.

Can other people see my information?

Other users only see your dog's name, breed, active minutes, sex, and age. They can't see your name, contact information, or location details.

How often do leaderboards update?

Leaderboards update throughout the day as dogs are active. Rankings may change as other pets become more active.

What are "active minutes"?

Active minutes are times when your dog is moving around (walking, running, playing). The tracker monitors movement throughout the day and counts the active time.

Can I compete in multiple leaderboards?

Yes. When you join leaderboards, your dog gets ranked in all leaderboards.

What happens at the end of the month?

Leaderboards reset on the first day of each month. Everyone starts at zero active minutes and competes for that month's rankings.

Can I see past months' leaderboards?

No. You can only see the current month's leaderboard. Previous months' rankings aren't saved.

Do leaderboards work for cats and dogs?

No. Leaderboards only work for dogs. If you have a cat tracker, your cat won't appear on leaderboards, but you can still track their activity and health in the Health section of your app.
