Tractive® GPS Tracker & Accessories For Dogs
The Pathfinder2 GPS Dog Tracker offers the newest smartphone and smartwatch technology. This waterproof dog collar allows you to let your dog free while enjoying the outdoors, during training sessions or in the backyard when your pup enjoys a little time on the run. You will know in your pet’s location in real time. There are not required subscriptions or fees required to operate this dog tracking system. The LED light and pager vibration makes pet location much easier in low light or dark spaces. The collar also comes with a self-locking and collar locator if you pet breaks free. Designed to track up to 21 dogs, you can purchase additional collars. This is ideal for hunting excursions, camping with your pups or a great choice for dog walking businesses who want to keep real time track of their clients. Ideal for dog breeds weighing 35 lbs and higher. This new technology is not compatible with previous Pathfinder tracking systems or other smart collar systems.
Step 1: Measure Your Pet’s Neck using a soft measuring tape to wrap around the base of your pet’s neck, just below the ears, where the collar will naturally sit. Insert two fingers between the tape and the neck to ensure it won’t be too tight, allowing a comfortable but secure fit. This prevents the collar from slipping off while ensuring the sensors maintain proper contact.
Step 2: Review the manufacture’s guideline as many GPS collars come in different sizes and thicknesses, so always refer to the manufacturer’s size chart for best results. Some collars provide adjustable straps, which can help accommodate changes in fit due to fur growth or grooming.
Step 3: Many GPS collars have specific weight requirements to ensure the device’s battery and tracking features don’t overload smaller dogs or puppies. Verify that the collar is appropriate for your dog’s weight class.
Step 4: Once the collar is on, ensure that it is snug but not restrictive. You should be able to slide two fingers between the collar and your pet’s neck comfortably. A loose collar could affect the GPS signal, while one too tight might cause discomfort over time. This is important after a dog grooming.
Step 5: If your dog is highly active, choose a lightweight collar with padding for extra comfort. Adjustable options are essential if your dog’s neck size changes seasonally due to grooming or fur density changes.
Step 6: Some GPS collars need to sit in a specific orientation on your dog’s neck for optimal signal strength. Follow the device’s manual to ensure correct positioning for the best tracking performance
Step 7: Stock up on additional batters, charging cords or other accessories required by the GPS collar of your choice.
