Unlike other GPS e-collars, you can enjoy the tracking on a more refined, higher resolution and bigger mobile screen.

How does it work?

The Dogtra Pathfinder 2 uses your smartphone as handheld tracking device. Pathfinder2 connector acts as an intermediate which connects your smart phone and dog tracking collar together.  It connects with Smartphone via Bluetooth and Dog Tracking Collar via Radio signal.

You will be using Google Maps™ offline version with standard, satellite and terrain views from your smartphone. The Dogtra Pathfinder smartphone app allows you to track up to 21 dogs or hunters, share locations with other hunters, playback tracking data history and create custom Geo-Fence notifications. With super fast two-second update rate and a powerful zoom in capacity, the Pathfinder tracking feature has greater live action detail and very accurate location information when you’re out hunting.

New Geo Fence Feature (outdoor only)

The Pathfinder 2 has 3 dog fence modes so you will receive a notification of dog escaping from boundary or auto correcting the dog from Pathfinder 2 collar.

Mobile Fence Mode
A Fence setup that moves based on the smartphone location. You will receive a notification if the dog near the boundary. The mobile fence is created with radius centered around the phone/GPS connector. The radius can be set from 9 metres to 1800 metres. You can set notification by Sound, Vibration or just a pop-up message on the phone.

Geo Fence Mode
Geo Fence mode allows you to setup a custom closed Geo fence boundary. You will receive a notification when the dog entering or exiting the Geo boundary. 

Electric Fence Mode
E fence mode allows you to setup a custom closed Geo fence boundary, but you can set a stimulation on the collar when the dog entering or exiting the boundary. Once the stimulation setting and boundary info synced to the GPS collar. You don't need to have the phone or GPS connector nearby to work. The collar stores the GPS location which will be activated by preset stimulation settings when the dog is close to the boundary.

Geo Fence Boundary settings
There is a mini requirement of 800sqm for Geo boundary. You can create up to 15 drop points from the Google Map. And it has to be a closed loop. When the fence set up, the dog wears the collar will receive a vibration when the dog is about 4 metres away from the boundary. If the dog continues to approach the boundary, he/she will receive a preset level of static stimulation. You can also create up to 3 inner boundary – smaller Geo fence inside the outer boundary. The boundaries need to be at least 4.5 metres away from each other.
