PATHFINDER2 ADDITIONAL RECEIVER - BLACK

3 Dogs have these on b/c I think its the best!

I always take a moment to review such a important piece of equipment that takes care of our Dogs. I own Mt. Cur Dogs and a Bulldog/Greyhound mix for a open land Homesteading, micro farm animal/property protection, invasive animal eradication, companionship. As far as I know Dogtra is the only fence, training and gps hunting collar around. The Good~ customer support is outstanding. Own the Pathfinder 2/ and PF2 Mini; and the units are rugged with no physical failures. The new Compass looks to be a good unit, still learning about it. The Bad~ nothings completely wrong on any of the products. The collars have all needed some work every 6 months or so mainly battery replacement, and particularly the collars motherboard/chips sometimes malfunction, not connecting the fence feature, and more disconcerting when turning on the fence feature, shocking my dog. This is a RARE occurrence! But necessitating being sent back to said outstanding service dept. to get a new internal chip which again, Dogtra's service department is TOPnotch and has always taken care of ANY problem. Continue innovating and making such a good product ya'all!

So far I have limited use of the new unit. I like the features this new compass unit has built into it. I bought it to experiment with the E-Fence feature. The unit appears well built and appears to function very well so far. It is easy to set up and use and seems to be user friendly with some use.

I’ll start by saying I am not using these collars for their intended use. I have several acres of rolling hills that are heavily wooded. I’ve been using a wired invisible fence and every time a tree falls in the woods it always managed to find the wire leaving me wandering in the woods for hours looking for the new break in the line. Every review of other pet gps systems always have the caveat that their product won’t work for my topography and cover until I stumbled upon the Pathfinder 2. It checked all the boxes and I am happy with the product. Set up is straight forward. Some of the app menu arrangements are a little clumsy and could easily confuse someone who is not tech savvy. And I know I am not using it for its intended use and it is the reason I went with the Pathfinder 2 but it seems to me that this is going to be more than just my dogs. They love to chew on each others antennas. I’ve tried to secure them down but they always seem to find a way to pull it out. Maybe utilize a dual antenna that are shorter. At the end of the day would I recommend this system. Absolutely and I would buy it again.
