Dogtra GPS Fence System

Dogtra GPS Fence: Unboxing, Review, and Dog Conditioning

Looking for a virtual fence that doesn’t come with a monthly subscription? In this video, Ian O’Connell from Leerburg unboxes the Dogtra GPS Fence, sets it up, and shares how he’s been using it for over a month with his own dogs.

Unboxing: The collar comes with the receiver and GPS antenna already assembled, so there’s nothing to put together. The box includes a charging cord, a Quick Start manual, and a flag training guide. To set up, scan the QR code with your phone and follow the app’s steps.

Setting up the fence: Draw your outer boundary on the map with up to 25 posts, then add your warning zone and two backup fences. Ian walks through each step, including naming each collar after its dog so you don’t mix them up. Dogtra advertises up to 30 custom boundaries.

Review: Ian’s take is that it delivers what matters for a home property at a price well below the $700–800 GPS collar systems that often add a subscription. Keep in mind it isn’t a live GPS tracker. Location history updates when the collar is near your phone, so you can see where your dog spent its time afterward.

Conditioning your dog: Ian leaves the reminder tone on while conditioning. His three dogs had never worn a system like this before, and they caught on within minutes. One or two dogs went past the boundary and got a slight correction, and then made the connection. Ian recommends starting with the reminder tone and taking it slowly.

This system is designed for properties over 3/4 acre, with open sky overhead for GPS. For dogs 15 lbs and up.
