Dogtra Pathfinder 2 GPS Dog Tracker e Collar 9 Mile Long Range LED Light No Monthly fees Free App Waterproof Smartwatch Control Satellite Real Time Tracking Multiple Dogs Smartphone Required

Have used a few dog activity/location trackers in the past, and found the Dogtra Pathfinder Mini to be the best and met nearly all my needs. The one thing I needed was an ability to activate an e-fence based on GPS. I actually don't need the feature as my dog is border trained and fully obedient, but I DID need that feature due to the requirements of my neighborhood association...needing some sort of physical or electronic fence in order to allow the dog off a leash on my property. The Dogtra Pathfinder 2 meets that need. Dogtra smartly added the e fence feature to the Pathfinder line in the Pathfinder 2, and it completely meets the requirement. In addition, the PF2 seems to have better GPS and quicker connections, as well as a host of new features that really make it easier and more customizable for each use case from simple location or activity tracker to non-sighted hunting.My newest pup is now 7 months old and around 40 pounds and doesn't mind the collar at all. Again, I've only used the features to alert the dog via the collar tone/nick a few times as I believe training is the key, not relying on the collar to control the dog. However, all the features are easily accessible in the app and the basic controls are possible without using the phone at all, which I love for our morning runs.The tracker is more accurate than others I've used, and have been able to verify my dog's location across my 5 acres of thick brush and water as the Pathfinder series has serious range...up to 9 miles (!) on the Pathfinder 2. Offline maps is a also a game changer, as I'm sometimes in areas without cell tower coverage. The PF2 app (it's not the same app as the original Pathfinder series) includes a recording function as well, which is great for hunts to recount what areas were covered, as well as for runs to recount distance, speed, etc. There's so many features...it really is recommended to read the entire well written guide book fully to get a feel for all the features and customizations. Only a few things I'd recommend Dogtra work on... The on/off process...you really need to count to 3, and if you hold the power button a bit too long, you'll go into pairing mode. No big deal, and I'm now used to counting. The e-fence size and angle limits. I have a steep cliff on the property and I wanted to inner fence that off, but it's apparently too small an area. Not an issue as again my dog's been trained to stay away, and in a way, I'm glad Dogtra accepts that making too small an area for a fence could result in inconsistent direction to your dog - if you don't know GPS isn't precise down to inches. Large areas work best to allow for a little GPS lag/slight imprecision, and at least Dogtra shows they care about dog treatment and designed the product to these limitations. I've used the collar for a while now in all sorts of wet, hot, cold conditions including some dunks in salt water when the dog took a dip and have had zero issues. Product documentation says salt water is fine, just give the device a quick freshwater rinse afterward. Dogtra's been making this type of product for a while and know what they are doing...this isn't meant to the lowest cost cheaply made collar/system. All parts are well made and ready for real wet, muddy, sandy, vegetation snaggy life. I shopped for a collar for a while and there are more expensive products out there that promise great tracking/containment but with the Pathfinder 2, I'm not sure how those other GPS e fence collar systems will compete - Pathfinder 2 is the best in class system for less than the others. Highly recommended.

5 Stars - The Best Dog GPS Collar on the Market! I recently purchased the Dogtra PATHFINDER2, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! This GPS tracking collar has truly exceeded my expectations in every way. First off, the accuracy is spot-on. Whether we're in the woods, at the park, or in a more urban environment, I’ve never had trouble keeping track of my dog. The real-time tracking on the app is super responsive, and I can easily locate my dog even if he’s off-leash or out of sight. The setup was incredibly straightforward—download the app, sync with the collar, and I was ready to go. I also love the added bonus of geofencing, which helps me create virtual boundaries for my dog. If he crosses them, I’m immediately alerted. This is such a peace of mind feature! The battery life is impressive, lasting for several days with moderate use. Plus, the collar itself is rugged and built to withstand even the toughest conditions. I’m confident it’ll hold up to anything my active dog can throw at it. One of the standout features for me is the Dogtra PATHFINDER2’s ability to track multiple dogs simultaneously, which is perfect since I have two. It’s easy to toggle between them on the app, and I can quickly see both of their locations. All in all, this product is absolutely worth the investment if you want peace of mind knowing where your dog is at all times. The PATHFINDER2 has made walks, hikes, and outdoor adventures so much more enjoyable. Highly recommend to any dog owner looking for top-notch tracking technology!

Great product, easy setup

Awesome device, works good and clear view on the map and can zoom right in on the trees. Dependable so always know where you dog is at (peace of mind can turn dog out and find them). Would recommend!

I am still learning how to use it properly but so far I have found it to work fine. Luckily my dog didn’t stray off far enough to need GPS but the tracking is clear on the map. I needed to zap the pooch once and it got his attention.

It shipped to me really fast over all this is the best bang for your buck I really would recommend this over the garmin any day it’s cheaper and easier to work in my opinion

So far so good just with the mini had the same range and battery capacity as the full size perched the full size and going to put different straps in them to fit

Very rugged and came in a good hard shell case. Everything works as advertised and the lights on the collar are very visible making it great for low light when your dog is tracking but not barking.
