I want a GPS tracker for my Brittany Spaniel. Any recommendations?

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

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

That collar is probably fine assuming it's waterproof.

Training help?

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

It has basically the same capability as the pro 550 plus in that it's got an arrow pointing at the dogs but the user experience with the buttons is worse.

E-Collar suggestions.

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

Garmin 550 Pro and Tractive?

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
