Review for Garmin Tri-Tronics SPORT PRO
July 6, 2016
My first E-collar purchase, chose it specifically for assisting with recall. Very easy to use, great flexibility in not having to alter the level settings to use the tone and vibrate features, nice firm buttons, easy to hold, lots of flexibility in use. Steve, thanks for your videos, they really helped me in choosing an appropriate collar!

I had the Tri Tronics Flyway G2 before, which is similar to the highest end Garmin training collars. I was a little concerned about the durability of the smaller transmitter, but it has been great. For duck hunting the size does not matter, but for pheasant hunting the smaller transmitter is light enough to wear around your neck for easy access. I love all the new features, such as tone, vibe, lights, and built in bark collar. This is a great unit with a LOT of functionality for the price, and my concern about durability is long gone.

Both dogs were off the leash within two weeks. Recall is consistent, so they can now run in the woods, etc. Our Cur was jumping on people and that has stopped. They are both more secure and extremely happy dogs! This product is fantastic! Just buy it! By the way, these guys are so helpful when you call and the products shipped promptly. I have to say I enjoyed giving this company my business, rather than the big stores!! These types of businesses are what makes America great!

It's almost magical! Our dog is a bit hard-headed and gets in a 'zone' where it's hard to get his attention, which is why we decided to try an e-collar. Did a bit of reading and called Steve at Gun Dog Supply, and he lead us in the right direction for us. We're thrilled with the ease and convenience of this product. We can switch from mode to mode without looking because of the design of the transmitter. Pup is now just over a year old, and we can actually consider training him to hunt. The battery life is fantastic too. Definitely recommend this product.

Have been working with dogs for about three weeks and training is going very well. Garmin Sport PRO works as advertised, no problems with initial setup or during training. Our main intent was to be able to allow the dogs off lead on hikes with the confidence that we could recall them as needed, and we are well on our way to realizing our goal.

I bought this unit as an upgrade to a previous e-collar that I used exclusively on my Coltriever. My older, smaller Cairn Terrier had developed some crazy behavior over the years when we encounter other dogs on walks, or hiking so I wanted to make him be better - ha! Well it worked amazingly well, I do not use anything but the vibrate and the tone, and his behaviors have changed all for the better. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?! Also, I only wanted to hold one handheld controller, and this sport version is a good size and easy to switch between dogs. I am sorry I waited so long to do this!

This is a great product. My previous training collar did not have the vibrate feature. Vibrate mode has really sped up the training process for me.

Nice collar system to work for 2 dogs. Didn't have any issues matching the extra collar up to the transmitter, and I'm a bit technologically challenged. Switching from 1 collar to the next on the remote is simple. Range is great. I'm a big fan of the locator beep and the vibration options as well. This is a great 2 dog system.

Sport Pro is easy to use with one hand, no look operation. I will buy additional collar when I add another dog. Gun Dog Supply is great. They shipped 2 day for free.

This is a really good E-Collar. The fact that it has vibe and tone along with 10 different stimulation levels and the three dog capability is great, but the light feature is awesome and worth a little extra money compared to other models. The only drawback in my opinion is the hand held unit, or steering wheel as I call it, is a little bulky and heavy if you're used to the Sport Dog models as I am. But that's a small price to pay for the other features. I would recommend it.

Gun Dog Supply exceeded my expectations again. These Garmin collars are well designed and ease of operation is a cinch. Collar is fully adjustable from the smallest dog to the biggest. I would highly recommend this collar to anyone training a hunting retriever at any stage in the training.

Thank goodness for the people at Gun Dog Supply. The directions for putting together the charger are awful, so a lovely lady talked me thru. My 10 month old Doberman pup learned come in about 5 minutes. Now when called he is at my side in a split second.

I found this training collar great for my two dogs, I can control them from one very easy to use remote. The great review and recommendation video that Gun Dog Supply had online was extremely helpful. I have purchased several products from Gun Dog Supply and found their customer service to be excellent.

When I contacted gun dog about using e-collar on our 3 month old wild as can be. They said to wait till she was at least 6 months. That showed they really care about the customer and the dog. Now that our one dog is big enough we purchased the sport pro and love it. One of the best features is that all the buttons are labeled what they do, so I feel comfortable. Now myself or our kids aren't going to accidently push the wrong button.

This is a replacement for the Tri-Tronics Sport G3 that I loved and lost the sending unit for. I picked the sport pro for the ease of use and the added bark collar function. I am VERY happy with the collar so far. The bark collar is a great function and I think the lights will help me keep track of her at night.

Since working with the collar, there has been a stronger bond between us. Roux is very clear as to what is wanted from her. There is no longer room for confusion or inconsistency on the come command. I wish I had discovered this collar as a training aid sooner.

Great product! I had the Garmin Delta before and hated the electric screen! The Garmin Sport PRO is very easy to use with 2 dogs. I love the toggle switches and knobs and no electronic screen to break. The collars are very easy to use in every mode. I especially like the led lights for night use.

Great until and it works better than expected!! I like the no look control and the narrow collar is great for my beagles. I've used and owned several other collars and this one suits my needs the best. I would definitely recommend the Sport Pro to anyone hunting beagles.

With multiple dogs, I need to pay very good attention to which color collar is on what dog before correcting. The collar itself works very well. My only complaint is that when my dogs play together they bite the collars and they do not stand up as well as I would like them to. Have owned mine about a month and two of the collars have been chewed.

This collar is perfect for my needs. I allow my dogs to roam at our ranch in the Texas hill country, so I have trained my dogs to come to me when I use the tone. The vibrate mode gets their attention for when they do something wrong and they go to their beds. I also use the vibrate as a second measure if they are chasing an animal and the tone isn't working for recall. I have a 99% recall with the setter using the tone. The lab is still a puppy so we are still working on him. The stimulation will get the labs attention, although I only use the stimulation in certain situations; for example, if he goes after a skunk.... I gave this remote 4 stars because I think improvement is always necessary. Two examples for me; (I hope garmin is reading) a button that works for all collars instantaneously that can be set to any of the three modes you would need. (Tone, vibe, or stimulate) also if they could create a way that each collar would have a stimulate adjustment. For example my lab is crazy tough, if I have stimulation set to 4 he doesn't feel it. The Irish setter jumps out of her skin at 4. So when I need stimulation for one particular dog in an emergency situation, I don't have time to switch the dial to a number good for that particular dog. I'm sure I could think of more things they could improve on but for me those two issues are minor. The more time I have with the remote the quicker I'll become at those last minute on the fly changes needed to recall my favorite kids. One more thing, the remote lights is genius, super bright and it's perfect to see my dogs on a night with no moon. I hope this review helps someone. This collar isn't perfect but it is the exact thing I needed for two dogs that I allow to roam off leash. I like to view my dogs as a family member. (They really are my favorite kids) so if a dog is a chore running out the front door, not coming in when called, jumping on you and guests all the time, they become more of a burden to me and not necessarily a family member. Our families life doesn't have time for a dog that needs to be on a leash at all times. We live outdoors and want our dogs to enjoy the outdoors as dogs should.
