Dogtra PATHFINDER2 4+

Update: “I’ve grown to love it after multiple uses. While it does take some time for the collar to connect, I usually turn the devices on way before arriving to my hiking destination and let them connect to the app on its own. Then the signals pickup throughout the drive and stay connected throughout. As for the beeping, I removed the beeping issue and I have no more problems!”

When turning on the remote, there is an instant connection to my phones app. However, when turning on the collar, it seems like it takes forever to sync with my phone. It takes at least 5 minutes to get the dog collar recognized by the app. I’ve tried with cellular / wifi and without. I wished it connected instantly like with the remote. Secondly, if your app is not running in the background, the remote beeps loudly and it can be annoying at times. I’d rather the phone vibrate or ping 1 notification that it has been disconnected. Or have an option to turn the beeping off

Decided to run this collar as a test, I’ve run Dogtra on waterfowl dogs(Chessies) for several seasons and was wanting a tracking collar for my new GSP. So I tested this collar and it exceeded expectations. The app is clear and concise, easy to navigate, and the collar responds great. I have now switched entirely to Dogtra Pathfinder2 collars for all of my dogs. Even if you don’t hunt the e-fence boundary has worked well for my retired dogs that like to wander the yard while I’m training up the road so they’re not cooped up for hours. Running multiple dogs on the app is a seamless transition, and as-long as you’re more tech savvy then a rock you can make it work. Very happy with my purchase, my “experiment” turned into ordering 3 more collars.

Thank you for the positive review. We value and appreciate customer feedback.

I wanted to love this and hopefully it gets fixed, but the app on the watch constantly disconnects. I gives you a message that the app needs to be open on the iPhone even though it is. You then have to open the app back up on the watch, what a PITA. Not very user friendly in the field. You should be able to open the watch app and have it stay on until you close it.

Update:
I was sent a new collar after returning it to my dealer. The new collar has worked flawlessly and I am very happy with. Changing my rating to 5 stars!
