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

Name of the game for tracking/ecollar will be Garmin. If you want a very basic system, the Garmin 550 Pro has a very basic arrow/footage indicator on the controller. Alternatively if you just need gps in emergency, we use a Garmin 550 standard ecollar (no gps) and a Tractive collar that runs off cel

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

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

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

We trained ours that the beep means come back. The vibrate is basically used as a deterrent or if they’re lock

I highly recommend getting a E-collar preferably Garmin or something with a good reputation for working over distance and water proof. Hes 2 he will still be trainable, be patient they love to work for you but can be sensitive. They absolutely need structure and routine and need to run at least a ho

Dealer/User of both here. If you're introducing the e-collar and wanting to use it as a training collar and GPS, go with the Garmin Pro550+. The Pathfinder 2 is a good unit, but in training scenarios your timing to change stim levels, etc. is severely limited by the handheld and the need to utilize

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.

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
