Description
The Dogtra contact point 5/8 inch waterproof is the enhanced surgical steel point that comes standard on most new Dogtra receivers. If you’ve lost one or damaged the threads, this gets you back to exactly what the collar shipped with. Sold singly.
Most receivers use two points, so if you’re replacing both, order two of the Dogtra Contact Point 5/8 Inch Waterproof. Keep the old ones as emergency spares if they’re still in decent shape.
Will the Dogtra Contact Point 5/8 Inch Waterproof 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
Start with what came on the receiver, usually 5/8 inch. Not reaching? Go up a size. If you see redness under the points, try shorter points or a titanium option.
Fitting contact points
Swapping points takes a minute. Unscrew the old ones, check the threads on the receiver are clean and undamaged, fit the new points and tighten them gently. If a point keeps working loose, the thread may be worn and it’s worth asking us before you force it. Dogtra’s fitting guides are on Dogtra’s website.
Looking after your dog’s skin
Check under the points every time you take the collar off. Clean skin and clean points prevent most problems. If your dog has sensitive skin, titanium points or a comfort pad are worth trying.
Male or female thread?
The thread type depends on the receiver, not the length you want. Newer Dogtra collars mostly use male points and older ones mostly female. If you’re unsure, the receiver model name settles it, so send it to us and we’ll check.
Checking the collar is making contact
A quick check before each session saves a lot of confusion. Points tight, collar snug, both points on skin. If something still seems off, the Dogtra test light shows whether the receiver is firing.
Seasonal swaps
A spare set of points is cheap and handy. If one gets lost or bent in the field, you can swap it on the spot and keep training.
Ordering tips
If you train most days, buy a spare while you’re here. A second clip, antenna, cap or set of points tucked into the kit bag can save a whole session when something gets lost or broken far from home and the nearest shop that stocks Dogtra parts is a long drive away. Worth it.
Why genuine
It’s the real thing. We only stock genuine Dogtra parts, and if you’re unsure about fit, ask us before you order and we’ll check it against your model.
