During hunting, dogs can move quickly and disappear from sight, especially in dense forests, hilly terrain or when chasing game. By continuously following the dogs:
-
Increase your safety – You always know where the dog is, which greatly reduces the chance of getting lost or accidents.
-
Optimize cooperation – By knowing which direction the dog is going, the hunter can better anticipate and choose position.
-
Protect your wildlife – Following the dog prevents it from chasing game for too long, which can cause unnecessary stress to animals.
The Dogtrace GPS systems are designed to provide hunters with maximum control, precision, and reliability when tracking their dogs. Each system consists of a
Why Dogtrace GPS is an added value for hunters
The systems combine precise location determination with practical functions specifically tailored to hunting. Thanks to their robustness, waterproof design and long battery life (up to 40 hours), they remain reliable in all conditions. Additionally, they provide additional tools such as beeper functions, virtual fences, and waypoints, allowing hunters to work more efficiently, safely, and with greater control.
Wireless connection to mobile devices
The receiver can be wirelessly paired with a smartphone or tablet, allowing you to track your dog’s location and movements on a map via the Dogtrace GPS app. This increases the overview during the hunt and offers the possibility to monitor several dogs, hunters or waypoints at the same time.
Key features explained
1. Transmission frequency & radio frequency
The transmitter and receiver communicate via a special radio frequency that is tailored for long-range use in a variety of terrains. This keeps the signal stable even in forests or hilly areas, and allows the system to achieve up to 20 kilometers of range in direct vision.
2. FENCE function
The FENCE function allows a virtual round fence to be set up. When the dog exceeds this set distance from the receiver, the system gives an acoustic signal. This is ideal for preventing dogs from straying too far from the hunter.
3. Waypoint Function
The waypoint function makes it possible to save specific GPS coordinates, such as the location of a shot, a vehicle or an important spot in the field. The recipient can then lead you back to these saved points.
4. Compass function
The built-in compass always shows the direction of the dog in relation to the user. This makes it easy to navigate, even without having to constantly look at the map.
5. CAR Mode
In CAR mode, the receiver can be used safely in a vehicle without disturbing the signal. This is useful when moving between hunting areas while you want to keep an eye on the dog.
6. Intensidade signal
This signal indicates in the receiver how strong and consistent the connection with the transmitter is. It helps to assess whether the dog is on the edge of the range and whether obstacles in the terrain affect the signal.
Example models
Some popular models of Dogtrace include:
-
Dogtrace DOG GPS X30 – including beeper function for localization and two acoustic signals.
-
Dogtrace DOG GPS X30TB – with both training and beeper function, ideal for versatile use.
With their advanced features, robust build, and reliability in the field, these GPS systems are an indispensable added value for any hunter who wants to track their dogs safely and efficiently.
