Description

The Dogtra iQ Mini Transmitter is the replacement remote for the iQ Mini, one of Dogtra’s smallest systems.

Will the Dogtra iQ Mini Transmitter work with my collar?

It’s for the iQ Mini system. Check the model name on your collar before ordering. If it’s worn off, send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Why replace just the remote?

People buy a replacement transmitter for three main reasons: the original was lost in the field, it was dropped or crushed, or the buttons have worn out after years of use. Sometimes it’s simply a spare, so a second handler can work the same dogs. A new remote is a lot cheaper than a whole new system, and your dog keeps the collar it’s used to.

Pairing your new transmitter

A new transmitter has to be paired with your receiver before it’ll talk to it. On most Dogtra systems you switch the receiver into pairing mode and press a set button on the remote. The exact steps depend on the model and are in its manual on Dogtra’s website. Once paired, test it with a test light before you put the collar back on your dog.

Charging

Chargers don’t come with replacement transmitters. Use the charger from your existing system, or order the right one.

Before your first session

Charge it fully. Pair it. Then put the collar on the test light or your hand-held tester and run through every button at the lowest level, so you know exactly what each one does before your dog is wearing it. It sounds fussy, but it takes five minutes and saves a lot of confusion on the first morning out.

Keeping a spare remote

A spare remote sounds like a luxury until the day you need it. If you hunt far from home or share dogs with a partner, it’s worth thinking about.

Matching parts

The iQ Mini charges with the BC5VAUTO using the 5-C splitter cable, and the collar battery is the BP37Y3P.

Looking after the remote

Most remotes are lost or broken in thick cover or around water. A belt clip plus a lanyard is cheap protection. In the truck, keep the remote in a case or the glovebox, not loose on the seat.

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.
