Description
The Dogtra contact point 1 inch female is the longest standard surgical steel point Dogtra makes. It’s the one to reach for when your dog has a thick or double coat and the standard 5/8 inch points just sit on top of the fur. It’s sold singly, not as a pair.
Most receivers use two points, so if you’re replacing both, order two of the Dogtra Contact Point 1 Inch Female. Keep the old ones as emergency spares if they’re still in decent shape.
Will the Dogtra Contact Point 1 Inch Female fit?
It fits Dogtra receivers that use female contact points, except the YS200 and 150NCP. It isn’t compatible with the X-Series, CUE or Pathfinder2 series, which use male points.
Picking the right length
Length is all about coat. Short, smooth coats do well with 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch points. Medium coats usually suit 5/8 or 3/4 inch, and thick or double coats need 3/4 or 1 inch to reach the skin. If the dog only reacts when you push the collar tight, the points are probably too short.
Fitting contact points
Screw them in finger tight, then give them a gentle snug with the contact point tool. Don’t crank them down. Check they’re still tight before each session, because a loose point gives patchy contact that confuses the dog. The manual for your receiver on Dogtra’s website shows the right setup.
Looking after your dog’s skin
Move the collar a little every few hours and don’t leave it on for more than 12 hours a day. Wipe the points and the skin underneath with a damp cloth regularly. Redness is a sign to give the neck a break and check the fit.
Male or female thread?
Dogtra receivers use one of two threads. Older and many current receivers take female points, which screw onto a post on the receiver. Newer models like the X-Series, CUE and Pathfinder2 take male points, which have a threaded stud. They don’t swap, so check one of your old points before ordering.
Checking the collar is making contact
If your dog doesn’t react at a level that used to work, contact is the first thing to check. Part the coat and look. Both points should touch skin. A Dogtra test light lets you confirm the receiver’s working without guessing.
Seasonal swaps
Lots of trainers keep two sets: shorter points for summer and longer ones for the winter coat. It takes a minute to switch, and it keeps contact consistent all year.
Ordering tips
Small parts are cheap to add to a bigger order. So add them. If you’re also due a battery, a new strap or a fresh set of contact points before the season starts, put everything in the same order and it all ships together in one box with one tracking number, which is a lot easier than chasing three parcels.
Why genuine
Genuine only. We sell new, original Dogtra parts in their packaging, made to Dogtra’s own specs, so they fit and work the way the factory part did.
Dogtra Contact Point 1 Inch Female questions
Do I need two of the Dogtra contact point 1 inch female?
Yes, most receivers use two points, and this is sold individually. Order two to do one receiver.
Is 1 inch too long for a short-coated dog?
Usually, yes. Long points on a thin coat can press harder than needed. Stick with 1/2 or 5/8 inch on short coats.
Can I return it if it’s the wrong part?
Unused parts in the original packaging can come back within 30 days. See shipping and returns.
