Perfect for training. Now our puppy is taking advantage. For Christmas we recently purchased the same for our grand-dog. :)

Have only used it a couple times since I just got it, but so far so good! Love the simplicity of it, and the build quality seems great.

It works great! We are extremely happy with it. We wanted top shelf, and I believe we have it. I would recommend this e-collar to anyone.

Very easy to use. Pup is responding well to the collar. Very effective tool to keep control of your pup in the field and around the house.

Really nice collar. I switched over from a Dogtra that was just old. Cons: I thought the light was a great idea (our black dog becomes invisible when you let him out at night), however it isn't as effective as I was hoping. When you put on the collar, the fur under his neck blocks the light when his head is up (he has lab length fur). When he has his head to the ground sniffing you can see it. I still make him wear one of the blinking collar lights when he goes out. Garmin- move the lights to the front of the collar- not the top. Would be perfect then. Pros: Having the option for tone, vib then stim has made a great improvement in his response. The controller seems very durable (I wish it had a belt-clip). Range has been everything I'll need working around 15 acre property. Great product and looking for many years of use!

I highly recommend Garmin Sport Pro. After only a week of use my rambunctious 1 yr old male German Shepherd is responding on command or only the tone feature. We are still working on his excitement when he encounters other dogs, but with use of SportPro he's calming down quickly. Thanks to Steve for the reviews; they really helped choosing best e collar for my dog.

This is not my first collar but it is my first Garmin Tri Tronics brand collar. After using it for a couple of months I have found that it is reliable and delivers everything as promised. The LED lights are handy and the range of stimulation is excellent. Stimulation ranges from nothing to, why did I try that on myself. The only thing that bothers me is that the green LED flashes once in awhile when the unit is on and no stimulation is applied, not an issue during training for the most part (although I have worried that it was providing unwanted stimulation which after testing on myself it does not) in an early morning hunting situation though it could potentially flare your quarry if the collar is on at that time. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

Works really good so far. Thought it might last a little longer between charges. But other than that it's a very nice collar. Seems to have good range and really like the vibrate feature . Thanks for the interest and following up on your product! If we need anything else we will be sure to contact you and your business!!

It's great. I use the vibration as a silent come command and the tone as a silent woah command.

Perfect collar for upland or other hunting. The non-digital dial is ideal versus the read out version. If you are looking for a base model with all the features that basic hunting and training will require, this is the one to get. The tone and vibration buttons are easy to use and very handy, which means I very rarely use the stimulation as my dogs are conditioned to the tone and vibration.

It was hard to pick from so many products, but Garmin was a name that carried a reputation for quality, and they had purchased a very known and respected company in Tri Tronics, so narrowed it down for me. After reading the reviews on Gun Dog Supply I chose the Sport Pro for 3 main reasons: 1) no LED window, but a very positive and easy to use dial. Who's going to be able to look down at an LED when training the dog, and it's just some else to drain the battery and/or go wrong. 2) The light feature. At night the dog looks like he's running headlights, so he sees where he's going and I see where he is. 3) The 3/4 mile rating. My GSP runs fast and long. Glad to have the ability to make corrections when he's far away. The unit costs a tad more than I wanted to spend, but I was reminded of that old saying: Good equipment ain’t cheap, and cheap equipment ain’t good. So I made the best decision!

Great collar! Very easy to use remote. All the buttons are right where they need to be. We’ve used it in the field, the lake, and in the back yard. The smallest, yet one of the nicest features is the remote controlled light. It makes spotting our black lab in the dark a piece of cake. Just hit the button and there she is. Great product and great customer service. My order shipped right away, and they even threw in a few free extras.

Great product. Love all the features. Gun Dog Supply has some of the best customer service around. Really went out of their way to ensure I got the collar before the first day of duck season. I would recommend shopping with them to anyone.

Very easy to use, one hand operation is great. The LED lights are great for early morning decoy deployment. The idea of waterproof controls works well in Oregon. The barklimiter has stopped my dogs only bad habit. I highly recommend this collar for active dogs and hunters.

I have always used Tri-tronics collars. My last one was a G3 sport. I was all set to purchase a new Pro 550. Then Garmin /Tri T came out with the Sport Pro. Love it!!! Has all the features and compact size of the G3. (Nice when you have to carry Calls..whistles etc) Adding the other features of vibe and collar lights (for us 4 a.m with a chocolate lab people). Made it the best I have used yet!! I use it everyday for walks and training and recommend it highly.

I probably should give it 5 stars, but I'm still on the learning curve. I'm still used to my old Pro 1000 and Pro 100. But since I'm not doing real serious bite work etc. I opted for the Sport Pro. It is a fine product.

I recommend this E Collar and Gun Dog Supply. Sport PRO is everything I needed in an E Collar and more. Using preliminary voice training before the Ecollar is a plus. One hand and not having to look at the hand device, a real plus. Robin MacFarlane's Training DVD is very helpful. Gun Dog Supply service was fast and Steve's picks and videos were professional and dead on.

The Garmin Tri-Tronics Sport PRO is everything you could ever need or ask from an E-collar. It has every option you could think of all with the capability of one handed, no look operation. I love the fact that each feature has its own button and the intensity has a dial instead of two extra buttons and an lcd screen I have to constantly look at. The pt10 collar it come with is the same collar as the top of the line garmin collars at the price of an entry level. The LED beacon lights have came in handy too many times to count in tracking and locating. I would highly recommend this product.

I have not had any issues with this product so far, and it does everything I need it to. I would have to say that the best features on this device would have to be the lights, battery life, and the easy switch for stimulation level.

Good battery life and well-built device. Occasionally Bull-headed 6-yr old male lab responds well to collar. Having tone and vibration for correction prior to shock is an improvement over older collars he has worn. Well made. Happy so far.

This collar is amazing. My husband and I struggled with our dog Dexter because he is very smart, and also very stubborn. There were moments where he would refuse to do a command even though we _knew_ with 100% certainty that he knew what we were asking him to do. He just chose not to. We were at a complete loss. I asked for the collar for our anniversary gift. Best gift ever. We watched the training DVD and Dex picked up everything immediately. It is everything we wanted and needed. Dex is happier now, and gets far more exercise now than he ever could before. We are happier, because we now have a dog that minds. We continue to train with him 2x/day including several opportunities throughout the day while we are home. This is something that will forever be integrated into our daily routine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Gun Dog Supply over delivered on the product and shopping. The Garmin Sport Pro seems to be working just as the review video said it would. I have had this product in the field and my dog has even had a quick dip in the river while wearing it, and everything is working fine.

This was the first e-collar I have every owned, and I couldn't be more happy. It's so simple to use and very effective training tool. I have already put this collar to the test, and it's withstood everything I threw at it. It's a great product at a reasonable price. Definitely worth the money in my opinion.
