Pro 550 Plus

garmin pro 550 plus & alpha tt25 Worth it for piece of mind. We use it backpacking. No app required, gps on handheld shows an arrow pointing to collar and distance This works in the back country, away from cell and wifi. There's not many options if thats what youre looking for

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

At 14 months their prey drive is peaking. Just be consistent, go back to using a long line for a little. If youre doing hunt training and bird work you are no stranger to e collars. You might need to up the level, ive seen some gsp's wear a 2nd collar around their waist. I highly recommend the alpha

Used both. Dogtra was good if I only needed gps. It was clunky for any training aspect. Personally I switched to Garmin pro 550 plus. Training first, gos second paired with Garmin watch.

There are some improved functions like putting a dog's name into the handheld and "starting a hunt" so you can track your activity, mostly just t

I use the Garmin pro 550 plus and with two tt25 collars. These were great. Have 9 Mile range. The display on the transmitter shows you what direction and how far they are. There's a beep, a buzz and a bunch of different stimulation settings. Honestly, I rarely use stimulation anymore as they come ru

My two cents. Garmin is hands down the best GPS. The dogtra is a better collar. Garmin low 1 if i activate it in my hand I can feel it. The dogtra comes with lower settings that your dog can feel, but you can't. I have a pro 550 plus and the gps made it worth every penny. I use a completely differen

I use the garmin pro 550 plus. Its easier as a training device than the alphas in my opinion.

This is where i got mine. Has gotten a nice patina over the last 2 years. Well worth the price pro 550 plus holster
