Description
The Dogtra contact point 3/4 inch female is a surgical steel point one size up from standard. It’s the common choice for medium coats and for dogs whose coat thickens up in winter. Sold individually, not as a pair.
Most receivers use two points, so if you’re replacing both, order two of the Dogtra Contact Point 3/4 Inch Female. Keep the old ones as emergency spares if they’re still in decent shape.
Will the Dogtra Contact Point 3/4 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
Go by the coat, not the size of the dog. A big Lab with a short coat can wear short points, while a small spaniel with a thick winter coat might need longer ones. Plenty of owners keep two sets and switch with the seasons.
Fitting contact points
Take the old points out by hand or with the tool, wipe the threads clean and fit the new ones. Snug is enough. Then fit the collar high on the neck with both points touching skin, and check you can slide one finger under the strap.
Looking after your dog’s skin
Pressure sores come from collars left on too long or fitted too tight, not from the stimulation itself. Take the collar off at night, rotate its position on the neck during long days and keep the points clean.
Male or female thread?
Before you buy, take one point out and look at it. If it has a hole with a thread inside, it’s female. If it has a threaded stud sticking out, it’s male. The two types aren’t interchangeable.
Checking the collar is making contact
Inconsistent responses usually mean the points aren’t reaching the skin all the time. Tighten the strap a notch, try a longer point or move the receiver slightly. Test the receiver with a test light if you’re not sure it’s putting out.
Seasonal swaps
Coats change through the year, so contact does too. If your dog is responsive in spring and dull in December, try one size longer for the cold months. Dogtra’s manuals are on Dogtra’s website.
Ordering tips
Ordering for more than one dog or system? Put it all in one order and it arrives in one box. If you’re not completely sure which part matches which unit, list your models in the order notes or message us first and we’ll check every part against your list before anything ships. Easy.
Why genuine
No copies here. Everything is original Dogtra. That matters with small parts too, because a part that’s slightly the wrong size can affect fit, waterproofing or contact.
Dogtra Contact Point 3/4 Inch Female questions
When should I switch to the Dogtra contact point 3/4 inch female?
If your dog responds well in summer but not once the winter coat comes in, that’s the time. Many trainers switch back in spring.
Can I mix lengths on one receiver?
No. Use two matching points so contact is even on both sides.
Do you ship outside the US?
