Description

The Dogtra contact point extension kit uses washers to extend standard 5/8 inch points to 3/4 inch. It’s a cheap way to get more reach for a thicker coat without buying new points. It comes with two washers and a contact point tool.

The Dogtra Contact Point Extension Kit is a small part, so it’s easy to add to an order with a battery, strap or other spares.

Will the Dogtra Contact Point Extension Kit fit?

It only works with 5/8 inch contact points, and it’s not compatible with the YS300, 2500T&B or 2502T&B.

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.
