Seems it I have a different issue preventing me from doing that. I walked the dog but the tag showed staying at home

I took my sons phone and he kept mine and the dog and i walked several blocks away.

We were on the phone and he never got an alert that I went out of range. Even weirder, while it said it wasn’t connected and not nearby, when you go to the map, it shows the tag still at home with my phone.

Earlier when I took my daughter to gymnastics, I had my phone and the dog was left at home. It showed the collar coming with me all the way to the gym and back

Something is wrong here
