My girl took off for the first time today - hopefully it’s just a one off?
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

GPS/tracking collar recommendations?
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

Finally upgraded
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

New to Hunting, what e-collar would you recommend?
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

E collar recommendations
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

Exercise + enrichment for puppy
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

Tracking collar recs?
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

Gos collar
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

GPS Track and Train
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

Advice on e-collars?
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
