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

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

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

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

I’ve actually got 2 systems. Garmin Pro 550 with PT10. And then the Garmin Alpha 10 with T20. Reason being is I have my dog on an e-collar for a lot of things that isn’t hunting (walking around town, off leash in the park, roaming in the woods next to my house, etc.) where I don’t need a big ol’ ant

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.

No experience with the dogtra but I got the Garmin Alpha 200i for the combination of tracking and inreach capabilities. Love the system so far and have thought the battery life was good even though that is supposedly one of the shortcomings of the 200 vs the 300. My hunting buddy also got one and so

I'm a long time Garmin users and consider them the top tier...not flawless, but the pros vastly outweigh the cons. Garmin uses GPS in the collar and the handheld, but uses unlicensed RF between the collar and the remote. So you rely on the RF signal to know where your dog is I have the alpha 300i, w
