Dogtra GPS Fence

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND PRODUCT INFORMATION

WARNING

Please read all safety and product information below before using your Dogtra product. Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in injury to you, your dog and others, or it could result in damage to your Dogtra product or other property.

DOG SAFETY

For "Outdoor" Use Only

The Dogtra GPS Fence operates using GPS signals and requires a clear view of the sky to receive coordination data from satellites. If the device is used indoors, it may misinterpret the location as being outside the safe zone, potentially resulting in unintended corrections. To prevent this, always remove the collar from your dog when entering an indoor space.

*Minimum 3/4-acre coverage area needed

GPS Product

Like all products using GPS technology, your GPS Fence's accuracy may vary depending on where you use the product. Areas with trees, hedges, hills, mountains, cliffs, air traffic, buildings, structures, vehicles, or other obstructions may affect the accuracy of your GPS Fence. Do not use the GPS Fence indoors. Prepare and verify your GPS Fence (see below) before using the product. Take extra precautions near hazards such as roads or highways. The GPS Fence is a virtual training device and not a physical fence and cannot replace such fences.

GPS Fence Preparation and Verification

Before using the GPS Fence with your dog, do the following: (i) check that the collar power is on and that your battery is sufficiently charged, (ii) confirm the Bluetooth connection between the GPS Fence app and collar, (iii) activate all available GPS fence lines - including the warning zone, primary fence, and backup fences – to provide the maximum number of reminders to your dog that it is entering the GPS fence area, (iv) walk the perimeter of your activated GPS fence lines to verify that the virtual lines are unobstructed and active in the areas that you have selected, and (v) train your dog how to respond to collar stimulations if your dog enters the GPS fence area.

IMPORTANT – Train Your Dog How To Respond to GPS Fence

Dogtra products may be used with a variety of training methods that provide clear and consistent messages to your dog. Before using GPS Fence, train your dog how to respond if it enters the GPS Fence area and receives stimulation from the collar. Train your dog to not enter the GPS Fence area, or if it does enter, train your dog to return and not pass beyond the virtual fence lines. Supervise your dog while using GPS Fence. Visual tools such as flags may be helpful when training your dog. For training tips, reference our Flag Training Guide here: [Link to Flag Training Guide]

Proper Use

Dogtra products should be used to train, educate, monitor, or track dogs. Each dog may have a different tolerance for and reaction to Dogtra products. Closely observe your dog when determining the right level of stimulation, receiver fit, and other settings of your Dogtra product.

Fit and Wear

Proper fit and wear of your Dogtra product is important for the comfort of your dog as well as the functioning of your product. Dogtra receivers should fit comfortably and not too tightly, so that the receiver stays in place and does not move around your dog's neck. Do not leave a receiver on your dog for an extended time. Although each dog is different, Dogtra recommends that its receivers be used a maximum of 4 to 6 hours at any one time on your dog.

A receiver that is used for overly long periods or that fits improperly may cause skin irritation or sores on your dog's neck. Regularly check the receiver's contact area on your dog's skin. If your dog exhibits skin irritation or sores, stop using the Dogtra product and consult with a veterinarian.

ABOUT GPS FENCE

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a location tracking system that uses satellites to help determine your exact position. This device uses GPS to create a virtual boundary (called a Geo-Fence) and helps keep your dog safe by occur correction collar if they go beyond the fence perimeter.

RECOMMENDED ENVIRONMENTS

For the GPS to work well, we recommend using the collar in open, outdoor spaces such as:

• Wide open fields: Areas with no tall buildings or trees are ideal for strong GPS signals.
• Parks or walking trails outside the city: Open parks or paths with some tree cover but no tall buildings work well for accurate fence setup.
• Farms or countryside homes: Natural surroundings allow for a wider and more reliable GPS range.
• Campgrounds or outdoor lodges: You can temporarily set a virtual fence around these open areas to let your dog roam freely.

ENVIRONMENTS TO AVOID

• Crowded urban areas with tall buildings (over 3 stories) can interfere with GPS signals.
• The device does not work indoors.
• Dense forests or areas near large bodies of water may also reduce GPS accuracy.

Note: The Dogtra GPS Fence operates using GPS signals and requires a clear view of the sky to receive coordination data from satellites. If the device is used indoors, it may misinterpret the location as being outside the safe zone, potentially resulting in unintended corrections. To prevent this, always remove the collar from your dog when entering an indoor space.

GUIDE FOR CREATING VIRTUAL FENCE

Set the virtual fence line at least 10 meters away from place where you want to set the virtual fence.

Do not place the Virtual fence boundary over water. If necessary, turn off the All Correction in those areas.

Note: The map view on your phone may have slight errors compared to real-world locations.

PUTTING ON THE COLLAR

When you put the collar on your dog, make sure the red-marked GPS antenna faces upward, toward the sky. This ensures that the collar receives the strongest GPS signal for accurate tracking.

HOW TO USE GPS FENCE(COLLAR)

1. TURNING THE GPS FENCE ON/OFF

Press and hold on/off button to turn on the collar.

2. INDICATOR LIGHT

LED color indicates battery level, while blinking indicates GPS signal and stimulation activity. If no GPS signal is detected, the LED will remain red regardless of battery status.

COLLAR FITTING

Fit the receiver on either side of the dog's windpipe so that the contact points press firmly against the dog's skin. You should be able to fit two fingers underneath the collar strap. Make sure the GPS antenna is at around the back of the dog's neck to face the sky.

Improper Fit

A loose fit can allow the receiver to move around on the dog's neck and cause irritation. If the receiver is too loose, the contact will be inconsistent and cause inconsistent correction. Avoid positioning the GPS antenna towards the front of the dog's neck, where it may face the ground and weaken GPS signal and accuracy.

Attention!

While Dogtra uses medical grade stainless steel contact points and anti-microbial plastic to protect the dog's skin, leaving the receiver in the same location for an extended period of time can cause skin irritation due to the sensitivity from the contact points. Reposition the receiver every few hours to move the contact points and remove the receiver after 8 hours of use. Check for skin irritation each time you use the unit.

Test

• Open the GPS Fence app to the Settings tab and Open any Corrections and select 'Correction'.
• The correction levels are from 1 (lowest) to 100 (highest).
• Always start at the lowest level of stimulation and work your way up.
• The appropriate level can be found when your dog responds to the stimulation with a mild reaction, such as a tensing of the neck muscles.

Note: Every dog has a different tolerance and reaction to the stimulation. Please look at your dog's reaction to find the right level of stimulation. The stimulation level may vary depending on the situation and distractions. A distracted dog will require a higher level of stimulation compared to when there is no distraction.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Power adapters are not included.

The Dogtra GPS FENCE uses a lithium polymer battery. Recharge the unit if the indicator light is red or does not come on or the system will not stay on when any button is pressed.

NOTE 1: The unit has a partial charge when it leaves the Dogtra facility. Upon receipt of the system, be sure to give it a full 2-hour initial charge before the first use away from any flammable substances.

NOTE 2: When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Fully charge the batteries if the unit is to be stored without use for a period of 3 months or more.

Follow the steps below to charge your system:

1. Locate the provided DC to USB charging cable. Open the rubber cover on the battery charging port and insert the 5mm DC jack.
2. Plug the USB end of the cable into a USB wall charger plug. Charging time may vary depending on the wattage of the USB power source, but it typically takes around 3 hours or more. When charging correctly, all indicator lights will glow red. The unit will automatically shut off during charging, and you will need to turn it back on after it is fully charged and unplugged from the cable.
3. The lights will stay red during the charging process and turn green once the unit is fully charged.
4. After charging, cover the battery charging receptacle with the rubber plug.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

1. The dog does not respond to the stimulation. Make sure the system is on and the strap is tight enough so that both contact points are touching your dog's skin. If the contact points are too short, you can either purchase longer contact points or trim the hair near your dog's neck. Increase the level until your dog responds with a subtle head or neck movement.
2. My dog has skin irritation. This may be due to an improper fit or from wearing the receiver too long. If your dog exhibits signs of skin irritation, consult with a veterinarian. Once your dog's skin returns to a normal condition, continue to use the receiver and check your dog's neck each time you use the unit.
3. The LED keeps on red even after charging. A red LED that keeps on means GPS Location not fixed. When the collar has found the GPS location outdoors and the LED blinks, put collar on your dog. If the dog is lying down or indoors, the fence is temporarily disabled(LED keeps on red).
4. The dog is not moving, but the collar is operating - crossed the boundary. In indoors, the collar's GPS error may occur. Considering the error range, set the virtual fence wider or turn off the correction command when staying indoors for a long time.
5. History is not updated. The collar's movement information is not an automatic updated. When the collar and app are close to each other, press the Sync button at the top of the History page to manually download. If the FENCE COLLAR has moved more than 6km and is close to the app, it will be automatically updated.
6. GPS FENCE collar does not work. If the collar is not a paired or it paired with another smartphone, you have to re-pairing GPS fence collar.
