I don't want to derail or highjack other threads.
If the goverment and the do gooders of Ontario are truly concerned about the safety and well being of hunting dogs and the safety of the general public. They should make tracking collars legal and manditory for hunting dogs. I would also reccomend a fine for non owners removing collars. This technology is proven and in use world wide. Why should our valued hunting companions be lost, lost and injured or at risk. :thumbup:
You expect governments to act intelligently?
just go ahead and use them,,,,,,,,,,,,don't advertise it
Industry Canada has approved one GPS system for use in Canada. Just unfortunate it is not the one that everyone owns. Sport Dog Tech 2 is approved and available from Canadian retailers.
Also found out dogtra Pathfinder is approved for use in Canada, utilizes google maps and your smart phone.
Incorrect. Dogtra Pathfinder is also Illegal.
.........................
I can no longer imagine running my hound without one.
Marc Corbin at Industry Canada has stated and assured me it is approved. It is also sold at Cabelas in Ottawa. The approval can also be found on the Industry Canada site. Another approved distributor of the product is selling them in our area.Quote:

Although the Pathfinder does use bluetooth it also uses MURS which is the kicker here. Any Pathfinder owners in Canada will have a hard time getting them serviced or repaired just like Garmin unless they have a US address i suppose. Just wanted to clear this up as we were confused on this matter also.

I have subsequently found out that the current Dogtra System that is being sold is not approved for sale in Canada. It operates in the same radio frequency as the Garmins. (MURS).
The information I got from industry Canada is for another system that Dogtra had approved by Industry Canada in 2014, it operated in a different frequency. Here is the approval I relied on . Sorry about the confusion
