Electronic Collars

I was lucky to get a chance to field test the new Garmin Tri-Tronics PRO 70 on a few of my beagles. I was very impressed with the feel of the transmitter which is very simple to the G3 Classic I have used for years. The toggle switch which changes the button setup has the collar colors shown opposed to a circle and a dot, which in my opinion is easier to tell what collars you are transmitting to. The PRO 70 also comes with a bark limiter, this alone is one feature that I have always wished someone added onto one of the training systems.

The PRO Trashbreaker is now the longest range remote collar with an unprecedented 4 mile line of sight range. Using the Garmin Alpha 100 we found this unbelievable claim to be true although we did our test in the field without line of sight. The PRO Trashbreaker works off of a different radio signal from previous Trashbreaker units.

This past winter SportDOG introduced the Field Trainer 425 as a replacement/upgrade of their Field Trainer 400 system. The new 425 is a medium range system that can be used with up to 3 dogs at the same time. The advertised range is 500 yards, and I was able to achieve that pretty easily even Continue reading?

It seems like every day, and sometimes several times a day we are asked how to measure a dog collar for proper fit. The inquiry usually goes something like, -I'm trying to buy a new collar for my dog. His old collar is XX inches long. What size do I need to buy to make Continue reading?

The SportDOG SportHunter 1825 training collar impressed me with its compact design, 2+ mile range, and versatile modes. It’s a great tool for hunters, offering improved battery life and an updated version, the 1825X, with enhanced features.
