I have had a lot of collars starting in the early 90's and they just keep getting better and better!!

I have only had the collar about a month and I have used it about a dozen times. The battery life is good, the range is good. So far the bark limiter feature is proving effective on one of our more skittish dogs and the running lights are nice for after dark. I would happily buy this collar again.

The electronics themselves work great and I am very happy with the purchase overall, but the collar that holds the device on my dog's neck uses a traditional buckle which can be difficult to put on when he is excited. It would be better with a clip so you don't have to determine correct sizing each time and don't have to thread the strap through the buckle each time while trying to hold the dog still. Minor complaint though. Overall very happy.

Works great! Only issue is the collar is a bit flimsy and not what we expected. Otherwise all good and the training video is excellent.

Works just fine. Dogs do well with it. Good product for the money. Disappointed it didn't come with a nice carrying case. Last one I bought several years ago came with a plastic case with enough room for everything including chargers. Can't imagine it would cost much more to add the case or at least a canvas bag.

So far this collar is working awesome, or maybe the dog is just smart. The headlights on the collar work very nice when walking through the tall grass at dark trying to wear the dog out.

Excellent product. This is my first hunting dog I've ever trained and my first e-collar I've used. I trained my dog without the collar for 6 months, and was positive that my dog knew his commands, but was to high strung to pay attention all the time. He would ignore my commands if he wasn't on leash. With the e-collar my pup knows he is always within reach of discipline. Also, for the price, it's a perfect training device for me.

The collars and remote perform just as I'd hoped. I love the remote toggle to switch between my two dogs and the one handed operation is awesome. After the first trip out I was confident that I'd made the right decision and picked the right collar combination.

This unit is designed with the trainer in mind. Very functional and easy to use without taking your eyes off your dog. Battery life is very long and the smaller transmitter fits great in your hand or hanging on a lanyard. The ability to convert to a bark collar and the light are a real bonus as well. All around great product.

Great customer service. When I inquired about the Sport PRO collar they had answers to all of my questions. Shipping was fast. The Garmin Sport PRO collar works great. I have used the collar for a week at a time without charging it. Looking forward to see what Garmin replaces this model within a few years.

I love it! The collar has really improved our black lab and hound dog's obedient issues. Being able to control both dogs from one handheld device is wonderful. My favorite special feature is the ability to remotely turn on the collar's lights to see where they are at at night.

Unit is easy to use and effective. That being said, the battery life seems very poor. Even after an hour and half of limited use, the lower stimulation levels become non-existent and I have to turn up the stimulation quite a bit to get a response from my Springer.

Has everything you could ever want. Vibrate, tone, 10 levels of stim, bark limiter, and led running lights. Uses mini usb for charging ports. If you're on the go you can charge it in the truck, if you have usb ports. It can expand up to three dogs as well. Really great collar couldn't ask for more.

This is my first training collar and I'm so glad I bought it. It works great on my Brittany, I am able to take her out off lead, she will look for birds, but come in or change directions when I ask her too. I keep it on a very low setting and many times she will respond to just the vibration setting. It's worked so well for her that I purchased another collar for my crazy Boxer. Not only is this system great for taking your dog off lead, but also works well for teaching dogs not to jump on people ect. The training video that came with my order was very helpful in learning how to use it correctly, I am very happy with my purchase.

I don't know who needs the training me or the dogs. It is working great, but sometimes I overcompensate.
Best results would be having them to respond to obedience training first and foremost before moving to electronic collar.

I've been using this collar on my dogs for about a week, but so far I love it. Easy to use and very (very!) effective. My dogs respond to level 4. They are completely oblivious to levels lower than 4, and actually didn't respond at first until level 5. Once they realized what was going on, I was able to reduce the level to 4 and still get consistent responses. I've been able to walk one of them on leash (who is dog-on-dog aggressive) without fear that he will go Cujo on another animal who passes by. He gets a reminder stimulation and stops all antics. It's amazing. My other dog is getting reminders that he does not need to eat every pile of dog poop he locates (which he does indeed hunt for like a pig hunts truffles). I know these are not standard reasons to use the collars, but wow.....they work, and what a relief! My dogs are only 1 year old, but I hope to be able to run them off leash soon, and will also use these collars as a deterrent against their prey drive when off leash (deer-squirrel-furry creature chasers). Definitely recommended! Thank you!

This has been an excellent tool. Our young stray (dumped near us - thanks lazy people) Cur needed to learn to not chase the donkeys and horses in the fields. Yelling didn't work. Either this device worked or the dog had to go. After only a few corrections we still have the dog! It worked as advertised. Now I have to see if I am smart enough to continue the training!!

Have been using the collar for about a month now. It is used on the dog every day in the water, snow, woods, etc. Keeps a charge for a long time, no problems so far. I would highly recommend this collar if you want something simple to operate.

Good product so far. Very well designed (ergonomically) for easy use without having to take your eye off your dog. Easy to charge and use. Like the positive clicks between settings and only having 10 settings, instead of having to guess where you are on a scale of 100 or whatever. Also has separate buttons for momentary or continuous correction, and you can hit either one without moving your thumb: use the joint for one, and the end of your thumb for the other. Has tone/vibrate/bark features as well. Haven't been able to test waterproof feature yet, but there's no charging port to leak water on the collar unit. We're using to reinforce known commands on a 130 pound dog who'd decided he didn't have to listen any more, and after 5 minutes in the back yard on the lowest setting, he's once again a model dog. Highly recommend. Wish we'd purchased sooner, Gun Dog Supply is great to deal with, with Amazon equivalent pricing.

Utilizing the 'built in' bark limiter is not what I expected. It seems to be an either/or proposition...bark limiter or correction collar. I do like the controller's flotation feature.

We had been using the Tri Tronics collars for the last 9 years without issue. This new version from Garmin has a few more bells and whistles as well as being is a bit more lightweight. So far no issues. We like the separate button for toning the dogs, which we use frequently. The collar lights are a nice touch. Other than making sure we know how to use them, we have not needed them. Hoping the new collars last as long as the first set. We will see.

A great product which, with the accompanying DVD, dispelled my wife's and my own collective fears of something that would administer a truly shocking if not brutal punishment for not being obedient. Used gently but firmly, it gets immediate results, especially with our congenitally deaf pup. I can recommend this product 100% as well as Gun Dog Supply.
Our problem with the charger was resolved with a new unit immediately shipped to us without the need to make a second credit card charge, in which credit is normally applied upon receipt of the old unit. Can you beat that? NO!!!!

This collar has been amazing. With it I was able to correct my dog's bad habits with remarkable ease. Friends that knew my dog when we first got him are shocked by how obedient he is now. I strongly encourage users to watch the Basic Obedience Ecollar Training video before using it. FYI, I rarely use the shock function. 99% of the correction has come from the tone and vibrate functions. This collar is very easy to use even for a complete novice. Very water proof. It has survived many many pond swims. It holds a charge very well, and it seems well built. I would absolutely recommend this collar to anyone looking for an ecollar.

My Brittany is still a puppy. She is 0.+-24.5 months old. I haven't had the opportunity to use the collar out in the field yet, but we are using it indoors to help with jumping, biting and when she won't leave the older dog alone. Really enjoyed the video. I didn't want to hurt the dog, and the instruction on the video has some good advice. Results are pretty good. She is responding to our verbal commands with the correction included. Should be using it in the field in the next month or so. Thanks for the quick ship and advise. The video you have posted on the website is great, as the instruction book included with the collar is limited.
