IMPORTANT SAFETY AND PRODUCT
INFORMATION
WARNING
Please read all safety and product information below before using your
Dogtra product. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in
injury to you, your dog and others, or it could result in damage to your
Dogtra product or other property.
DOG SAFETY
Proper Use
Dogtra products should be used to train, educate, monitor, or track dogs. Each
dog may have a different tolerance for and reaction to Dogtra products. Closely
observe your dog when determining the right level of stimulation, receiver fit,
and other settings of your Dogtra product.
Training Methods
Dogtra products may be used with a variety of training methods that provide
clear and consistent messages to your dog.
Fit and Wear
Proper fit and wear of your Dogtra product is important for the comfort of
your dog as well as the functioning of your product. Dogtra receivers should
fit comfortably and not too tightly, so that the receiver stays in place and does
not move around your dog’s neck. Do not leave a receiver on your dog for an
extended time. Although each dog is different, Dogtra recommends that its
receivers be used a maximum of 4 to 6 hours at any one time on your dog. A
receiver that is used for overly long periods or that fits improperly may cause
skin irritation or sores on your dog’s neck. Regularly check the receiver’s contact
area on your dog’s skin. If your dog exhibits skin irritation or sores, stop using
the Dogtra product and consult with a veterinarian.
UNAUTHORIZED USE
Dogtra products should be used only in a safe and responsible manner to train,
educate, monitor, or track dogs. Dogtra products are not intended for use in any
other manner; they are not intended for use with other animals or with humans;
and they are not intended for use in unsafe situations or environments that
could lead to death, injury, loss or damage.
BAT TERY
Your Dogtra product contains batteries. Do not attempt to replace the battery
yourself. Contact Dogtra or your Dogtra retailer to replace your battery. Dispose
of batteries as provided by your local regulations. Do not disassemble, crush,
heat, or otherwise alter the battery as it may cause fire, explosion, injury and/or
property damage.

OWNER SAFETY
Handling and Repair
Dogtra products can be damaged or malfunction if dropped, especially on
hard surfaces, or otherwise improperly handled. Do not use a damaged or
malfunctioning product as it may cause injury or property damage. If your
product is damaged or malfunctions, contact Dogtra to obtain service before
using the product.
Electrical Product
Your Dogtra product contains electrical components and batteries. Do not use
or keep your product near heat or flammable sources. Such use or storage may
damage your product and/or cause fire, explosion, injury, or property damage.
Charging
Only charge your Dogtra product with its accompanying Dogtra charger. Do
not attempt to charge your product in any other manner or in temperatures
less than 32°F (0°C) or over 113°F (45°C) as it may cause fire, explosion, injury,
and/or property damage. If you notice damage to your product, its charger, or
battery, obtain service from Dogtra before charging the product. Do not use
more than one splitter cable with a single battery charger.
Medical Device Interference
Dogtra products contain electrical and magnetic components that emit low
level electromagnetic waves and radio frequencies. These electromagnetic
waves or radio frequencies may interfere with pacemakers, defibrillators, or
other medical devices. Consult your physician or medical device maker before
using your medical device with a Dogtra product. If you think that your Dogtra
product is interfering with your pacemaker, defibrillator, or other medical
device, stop using the Dogtra product.
Aggressive Dogs
Do not use Dogtra products with aggressive dogs as such dogs may react
adversely and cause injury to people or other dogs. Seek the assistance of a
dog-training specialist or veterinarian when dealing with aggressive dogs.
Children
Dogtra products are not toys. Adult supervision and close attention are
necessary when Dogtra products are used by or near children.

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”.

Page 20
RECEIVER FITTING
Proper Fit
The receiver should be fitted so that the medical grade 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 medical grade 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 due to the sensitivity from the contact
points. If the dog is to wear the receiver for long periods, occasionally
reposition the receiver every few hours so that the contact points are moved
to a different location on the dog’s neck and remove the receiver after 8
hours of usage. Make sure you check for skin irritation each time you use the
unit.
20
Page 21
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.
21
Page 22
REPLACING THE ANTENNA
For the GPS Connector
1. Twist the antenna counter-clockwise to remove.
2. Place the new antenna on the bolt and turn clockwise to tighten the antenna.
For the Receiver
Open the antenna enclosure by removing the 4 screws and the contact points.
Remove the screw holding the antenna in place to replace the antenna.

Page 23
MAXIMIZING THE DISTANCE
• The PATHFINDER has a 9-mile line of sight range.
• 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
1. The dog does not respond to the stimulation.
- Make sure the system 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.
- Testing the system at various levels using the test light is the best way to test
your system. Your tolerance may be higher than the level you are testing
yourself.
- 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.
78
Page 79
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.
FCC WARNING
The PATHFINDER complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
