### 1/5 — Updates and connection issues

*2026-08-08, version 1.1.4*

Does not consistently update or connect

### 1/5 — Buy Garmin

*2026-07-27, version 1.1.4*

Wish I bought Garmin. I hunt bear and Mt lion with 8 hounds. I’m constantly losing track of my dogs and have had to rely on my buddies Garmin collared dogs to find mine ( hunting together) on many occasions. It’s ridiculous how you have to use some 1990’s software and a pc just to download maps in remote places ( where everyone hunts). I wishhhh I bought Garmin. My biggest annoyance is the fact that the tone noise for your dogs and signal lost noise on your collar is the exact same sound. I can count a few hundred times that it starts beeping In my hand,  calling any dogs in close vicinity close to me. Good way to tone dull a good dog. Out of every sound that can be made on earth, you chose the same sound for both remote and collars. Absolutely 0 forethought

### 1/5 — Never work right

*2026-07-26, version 1.1.4*

Very expensive for a super glitchy system

### 1/5 — connect

*2026-07-01, version 1.1.3*

not connecting

### 5/5 — Greatest collar system ever

*2026-06-25, version 1.1.3*

I have two gsp’s. Both have learned the system. Makes managing and owning high energy hunting dogs a dream!

### 1/5 — Sucks

*2026-06-13, version 1.1.3*

Never works

### 1/5 — Inconsistent tracking

*2026-06-09, version 1.1.3*

We got the new dogtra pathfinder 2 mini and loved it at first. As we used it more we found more issues. It would regularly drop signal, show the dog was in the completely wrong direction, then one day the collar just stopped sending a signal. We have had I hope for this system but it needs some serious software updates to improve efficiency and consistency.

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2026-06-05, version 1.1.2*

I work on a golf course my Aussie runs for days this give me the peace of mind! Thank you

### 1/5 — Buy Garmin

*2026-05-06, version 1.1.2*

Decent product ruined by the fact that the tone noise your hounds hear is the same exact noise the yellow remote emits when it loses signal. Which happened all the time. Even if your dogs are next to you, no big deal, but why why why would you make that sound the same sound you train dogs with? 
I wish I could strangle whoever thought that was a good idea. Wish I could afford Garmin

### 4/5 — Great Function, Not So Great App Design

*2026-03-21, version 1.1.2*

The app is confusing to navigate for me, and it’s very disappointing you can’t at least make multiple e-fence boundaries and switch your active one. As far as I can tell, I have to re-create the boundary every time I want it in a different location.
