Explore Each Feature
Know your dog's exact location with Multi-GNSS support, a 3-axis compass, 2-second GPS updates, and a clear 2" display that shows up to four dogs at once—with the ability to track up to 21 dogs overall.
Equipped with a 100-level stimulation dial, you can customize the e-collar buttons in two ways: toggle between dogs and access any function you need, or assign each button to a specific dog for instant corrections.
Operate completely offline with no required phone connection or subscription fees, while still having the option to pair with the free PATHFINDER2 app for enhanced mapping.
Rely on IPX9K waterproof durability, quick USB-C charging, adjustable day/night brightness, and an all-in-one design that lets you track and train from a single handheld.
