From your computer, check out the manual at www.DogtraPATHFINDER.com for a full version of the PATHFINDER manual, Q&A, and more.

CHANGING THE CONTACT POINT LENGTH

The Dogtra PATHFINDER comes equipped with standard 5/8” contact points that can be extended to 3/4” contact points, for use on dogs with longer coats. To increase the contact point length from 5/8” to 3/4”, follow the steps below.

  1. Using the included adjustment tool with the side marked 5/8”, unscrew the contact points counter-clockwise.
  2. Place the contact point extension over the exposed threads, flat side down.
  3. Place the contact points over the extensions and tighten the contact points and extensions clockwise using the adjustment tool with the side marked 3/4”.

Caution!
Tighten until firmly in place. Be careful not to over-tighten. To shorten the contact points back to the standard 5/8”, start with the adjustment tool with the side marked 3/4”, remove the contact point extensions, and tighten the contact points with the adjustment tool with the side marked 5/8”.

RECEIVER FITTING

Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that the surgical stainless steel contact points press firmly against the dog’s skin. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the collar strap. The best location is on either side of the dog’s windpipe.
Improper Fit
A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the dog’s neck. When this happens, the contact points may rub against the skin and cause irritation. If the receiver is too loose, the contact will not be consistent and cause the corrections to be inconsistent. Dogtra uses surgical stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog’s skin.
Attention!
Leaving the receiver in the same location on the dog’s neck for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods,  occasionally reposition the receiver so that the contact points are moved to a different location on the dog’s neck. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the unit.

FINDING THE RIGHT STIMULATION

  • Open the PATHFINDER app to the E-Collar tab and select your dog and stimulation level.
  • The stimulation levels are from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
  • Always start at the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up.
  • The appropriate level can be found when your dog responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck muscles.

Note: Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the stimulation. Please look at your dog’s reaction to find the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may vary depending on the situation and distractions. A distracted dog will require a higher level of stimulation compared to when there is no distraction.

REPLACING THE ANTENNA

For the GPS Connector

  1. Twist the antenna counter-clockwise to remove it.
  2. Place the new antenna on the bolt and turn clockwise to tighten the antenna.

  • To get the greatest range, hold the GPS connector away from your body and avoid touching the antenna.
  • Keep your unit properly charged for maximum signal strength.
  • The GPS connector device must be near your phone for proper operation, preferably less than 33 feet.

ATTACHING THE BELT CLIP

Follow the instructions below to attach the included belt clip to the GPS connector.

  1. Align the belt clip to the grooves on the back of the GPS connector.
  2. With a firm grip, screw on the belt clip’s Phillips head screws with a screwdriver.
    Caution!
    Tighten until firmly in place. Be careful not to over-tighten.

BASIC MAINTENANCE

  • Make sure the rubber charging cap is securely in place on the GPS connector or receiver when in use.
  • Carefully inspect the unit for any missing parts or damage to the casing after use. A damaged or broken casing may affect the waterproof guarantee on the unit.
  • The antenna must be securely in place for maximum range.
  • Charge the unit for 3.5 hours before storing for extended periods.
  • Charge the unit fully once a month while in storage or before use.
  • Do not keep the unit exposed to extreme climates.
  • Dogtra may include updates and improvements to the PATHFINDER app which can be downloaded through the App Store and Google Play.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

  1. Dog Does Not Respond to Stimulation
    – Make sure the receiver is turned on.
    – Make sure the strap is on the dog tight enough so that both contact points are touching your dog’s skin.
    – The contact points may be too short for your dog’s thick or long coat. To place an order for longer contact points, please contact Dogtra or a Dogtra dealer. If you are already using longer contact points, you may need to trim the hair on your dog’s neck so that both contact points are touching your dog’s skin.
    – The intensity level may be too low for your dog. Increase the stimulation until your dog responds, usually by a neck movement, head shaking, or looking over the shoulders. The response may be very subtle.

  2. The LED indicator light comes on, but I do not feel any stimulation.
    – Your tolerance may be higher than your dog’s. We recommend placing both contact points on your inner wrist, where the sensitivity is higher, in order to test the unit.
    – The battery may be low. Check the LED indicator lights or the app for battery life.

  3. The PATHFINDER has no range or the stimulation is weaker when my dog is farther away.
    – Check to see if your fingers are touching the antenna as the range may decrease substantially.
    – Keep objects away from touching the GPS connector’s antenna as the range may decrease substantially.
    – The range indicated is for line-of-sight flat terrain. Heavy brush, trees, hills, buildings, and/or moisture will affect the range of your unit. For the best range, hold the GPS connector vertically above your head, and/or try moving to higher ground.
    – Any electrical conductors will affect the range, such as cars, chain-link dog runs, metal structures, and radio towers. For the best results, operate away from these structures.

  4. The GPS connector or receiver is not holding a charge.
    – The charging pin may be damaged. A metal pin inside the charging port should stand straight up and firm in the center. If the pin is wobbly, broken or missing, you will need to send the unit in for repair.
    – The charging port must be clean prior to charging, clean out any dirt with a cotton swab and some rubbing alcohol. If your dog was in salt water, be sure to rinse the GPS receiver and charging port with clean water.
    – For Dogtra units over two years old from the purchase date, the batteries may need to be replaced. You can replace them yourself by contacting Dogtra for a replacement battery. Damages incurred to the unit due to improper battery installations are not covered under the warranty. Dogtra strongly recommends sending the unit in for inspection and repair.

  5. My dog has skin irritation.
    – This may be due to an improper fit or from wearing the receiver too long. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian. Once your dog’s skin returns to a normal condition, continue to use the receiver and check your dog’s neck each time you use the unit.
