Alpha 200i

We used to have a farm/cottage property that had very poor cell reception so I bought a Garmin GPS collar for my daughter’s dog. It was a little clunky as it needed its own dedicated receiver but it was totally reliable and the collar battery was good for a couple of days. My daughter’s dog is very

If you want something that is going to work in the woods every time, Garmin is the answer. Any of the GPS collars that use cell service will fail outside of populated areas. A barebones garmin setup is over $700 so it's not a casual investment, but it also doesn't require any subscriptions like the

Haha his gps collar is already enough expensive jewellery for him. And yeah, its a lifesaver in the field when we’re hunting. I never look at my handheld screen anymore, just down at my wrist. And the days i was in the middle of nowhere and my old watch wouldnt connect, it sucked. I definitely recom

Depends on where you reside. If you’re in a heavy populated area then apple tags are fine. They ping off nearby iPhones but that also means if you’re a frequent camper of goer they aren’t the best. If you’re rural or an avid outdoors person then gps collars are the way to go. Tractive and Garmin bot

Garmin has an e collar with tracking that has a pretty far range. it won’t automatically correct but you could do it yourself on the controller. I also have a fi collar that shows general location but isn’t as accurate I feel

That collar is probably fine assuming it's waterproof. I believe e collar technologies is a bit less popular with the hunting crowds than they are with pet people. 0.5 miles is about 800 yards, but it will be less effective with obstructions. That said - my logic - with all the time, effort, care, e

Garmin alpha 100 is what I use, the 200 came out right after I got mine and it looks to be even better. I think they have a few different versions of it out now. Massive range, great tracking and it has tone, stim(nip and constant), vibe. We use the tone for long range recall, nip for reinforcement

I would say with our boys the chuck it balls were and still are our first boys thing. He would fetch to the point of exhaustion. I would highly recommend a e collar and garmin being the better one to get. The off leash and fetch did wonders at the end of the day and made him pure muscle. This breed

We use a garmin GPS collar on both of ours (like the ones a lot of hunters use). They’re great, but expensive. You can track them up to 9 miles and the collars can beep, vibrate, and shock. We trained ours that the beep means come back. The vibrate is basically used as a deterrent or if they’re lock

My Mal comes everywhere with me (partly because it’s hard to find a dog sitter and mostly because she’s my favorite travel buddy) and the best advice I have is to start early. We started car trips and mini camping trips when she was a puppy so she could get used to sleeping in the tent or the truck.
