Great Company and Product!
February 21, 2024
I purchased this system and made a couple calls to the customer service department asking questions prior to purchasing. The service was amazing. I am very pleased with the quality of the system and the ease of use. Shipping was very fast and all items arrived in great packaging. I highly recommend this unit and this company. I have six cane corsos that I am training for my farm. Two adults and four puppies, The collars have lights that can be turned on and off for night location. I wish these were available when I coon hunted with my hounds years ago. I had the old style model 70 and it worked great for my coon hounds and beagles. Major upgrades have been done to the 70 line since then. Thanks, Mark from MI
Pros
  • Multiple settings for training and commands, ease of charging and set up.
Cons
  • None so far.

Love it!

We owned a similar version to this many years ago and are thrilled that it now includes bark control. That feature works great. We also own the Garmin Alpha 100 for when we are out in the field but needed something better suited for just at home. THRILLED with the Garmin products
Pros
  • Includes bark control and is easy to use
Cons
  • So far, there are no cons that we have found

Tri-tronics Pro 70
February 23, 2023
Been using Gun Dog Supply for years and always get the same results, Great service, Quality products and good advice. My old Tri-tronics 90 needed a new battery and since Garmin bought out Tri-tronics they are no longer available. So far, this unit works just as well as the old one and the collar is smaller. Happy and will continue shopping with them.

Happy now!
February 22, 2023
I purchased the less expensive collar and was not happy with it. The quality was not there. After talking to these guys for a while, they recommended the better unit and it is night and day difference.Much better quality, distance, reliability, and now a controllable dog. The exchange was easy with Gundog Supply. Quick and simple. I will never buy another unit from anyone else!!
Pros
  • Excellent quality, a feature I never thought I would use, a light for nighttime, tone only for corrective action, much better quality charging ports, easy to use. It fits your hands perfectly and is easy to use from the box.
Cons

Great Collars
January 24, 2023
I have an older version of this collar but bought a new one because the older one quit working. The new one marries quicker and is more consistent with correction. The charging clip is better designed. I like the light option. I can see the dogs at night and what they are doing. I really like that I can check the collar is receiving and operating, visually. Older versions worked about 50% of the time and had. inconsistent charging. These new collars work beautifully, designed great, electronics work excellent

Best shock collar set I ever had
January 7, 2023
Never knew how good this collar set was my only regret is that I should have bought sooner!

October 20, 2022
We have 46 acres full of bear, coyotes and porcupines. After a vet visit to remove quills because my dogs would not recall off of a porcupine, they are now running free again on their daily walks with me!
Pros
  • Easy to use for multiple dogs
Cons
  • Collar batteries don't last long if they are left in the on mode.

Absolutely love it!
February 10, 2022
This collars system is easy to work with and you don’t have to switch to all the different modes that the other collars have. I use this on a daily basis when working with my training dogs. I originally only got 3 collars but now I’m waiting for the the 3 colors to come in. So I will have a ll 6 collars for this hand held devise.
Pros
  • Great stimulation variations
  • Bark settings
  • Night light
  • Tone
Cons
  • None

I’m so glad we ordered the Pro 70 collar for Charlie. A neighbor of ours had it and really liked it. Charlie responded to it immediately. When I call him to get it on in the morning he try runs with his tail wagging! Great product and it arrived right on time!
Pros
  • Easy to use.
  • Strong, durable materials.
  • Does exactly what they advertise.
  • Quality product!
Cons
  • Haven't found any yet.

Garmin Pro 70 Review
January 14, 2022
I bought my first “Garmin” e-collar, a Pro 70 about 2 years ago from Gun Dog Supply! My Tri Tronics collars were becoming unreliable. (I believe Garmin made sure there was no service available for them.) My biggest complaint with the “new” Pro 70 is the width of the collar itself!!! It is not sufficient to keep the collar from moving excessively and coming off the dog! So, there, if the collar comes off the dog in the field, good luck finding it! This is what these large corporations depend on, you can now buy another collar for $150…. Well, kiss my buttocks, after loosing the collars several times, I bought some 1” collars, cut the smaller collars off and had the 1” collars stitched onto the Garmin collar. This has solved the problem but why? Hasn’t Garmin solved it??? Engineered obsolescence? Or on in my case engineered loss??? The new features I do appreciate; the light & the tone are welcome additions!!! But, if you loose the collar in the field, what the hell good is it… Garmin, if ur reading? Go back to the reinforced 1” collar on the Pro series. Not sure I will buy another one of urs when this one is done. This review is by no means a negative review of GDS. They have always performed above and beyond their call of service. That’s why I’ve come back for prolly 40 years, the days of paper catalogs! Was all we had back then! Keep up the good service Gun Dog Supply!!!
Pros
  • Features; light, tone are welcome and fine additions to this e-collar. Love it at night when I need to air the dogs! Otherwise, the collar works as the old Tri Tronics comparable.
Cons
  • The width of the actual collar is insufficient to support the weight of the receiver. I've lost it in the field several times. The tried and true 1" Tri Tronics collars I have never lost. If you buy this collar, do yourself a favor and buy a reinforced 1" collar and have it stitched to the cheap collar that Garmin provides and engineered it for loss by a cobbler. Garmin's collar moves around too much and comes off in certain conditions. Go back to the 1" reinforced collar Garmin!

Bark limiter
July 9, 2021
We live in a rural area with lots of wildlife roaming about. They usually set the dogs off at night which is what there supposed to do. However this keeps my wife up at night. Now she can sleep Thanks
Pros
  • Works like advertised
Cons
  • None

Excellent
April 13, 2021
Appreciate the thoughtfulness of the design. Easy to switch modes. Elimination of momentary stim option streamlines the transmitter. Lights are an excellent feature. Four stars because of the larger size of this receiver - perhaps due to the bark eliminator and lights.

Garmin Pro 70 collar
March 20, 2021
I like the light you put on the collar. I do not like the thinner collar. I liked my old collar on my first Pro 70 collar. this one seems so small for my Doberman. The box (shocker) seems big on the small collar. It flopps around when I am trying to put the collar on my dog. I perfer the larger strap.
Pros
  • The addition of the light is nice, not as bright as the lights on the human head bands straps I was putting on her at night. But, nice there is some light output.
  • I do recommend your product every chance I get talking to dog owners.

Use of Tone mode difficult
January 20, 2021
I use the Tone mode to get my dog's attention, correcting a behavior without shocking. This system requires you to turn a knob, which also controls the stimulation levels, to select Tone mode. It seems a small thing but I use Tone more than shock mode. For the dog's safety, I feel you should always have it on shock mode to stop dangerous behavior, like running across a road or going after a porcupine. This requires you to constantly twist the control knob, which takes your eyes off of the dog and requires two hands to make the change while juggling your shotgun. Thanks to Steve's 30 day no questions asked return policy, I am sending this system back.
Pros
  • The collars are light weight and straps narrow enough to prevent crowding with a regular collar on the dogs neck. The system works well and range is as advertised
Cons
  • The free holster for the control unit has a strap over the top that covers the tone and stimulation level dial making it difficult to select "T" . As noted in my review, use of the T mode is difficult, requiring two hands.

Garmin pro 70 5 dog wow!!!!
November 9, 2020
I have used the 2 and 3 dog pro 70 tritronics for over 20 years and have been extremely satisfied. I wanted 1 unit for all our dogs and purchased the garmin 5 dog unit. I am not disappointed. The unit is easy to set up and very compact. Dont let the size fool you it is full alot of great features.
Pros
  • The night light feature works great and allows you to see your dog from a good distance. The tone and stimulus helps make corrections and with our dogs only on the 1 or 2 settings. The transmitter is compact and easy to operate.
Cons
  • The holster top strap is to wide and interfers with the visability of the settings.

This is my second Pro-70 system from Gun Dog Supply and I can’t say enough about their customer service! As a professional dog walker that does off leash hikes with large packs of dogs, these collars are essential in keeping my clients safe! Steve and the crew at Gun Dog Supply helped me select my first Garmin system 6 years ago and as my business has grown I’ve relied on them to help me expand. I’m currently at 8 collars and I’m planning on buying 2 more this month. Their training tools and speedy response to any questions has made it easy for me to focus on what’s important, the dogs! I recommend these collars to all my clients and I always tell them to go to the professionals at Gun Dog Supply to make their purchase.
Pros
  • Easy to use. Simple remote. Both collars and remote are waterproof. Fits a wide range of dogs.
Cons
  • Need to order color coded collars separately.

updated collar
September 20, 2020
I have purchased many different training collars over the years but since I tried Garmin Tri-tronics collars this is the one I get. Purchased this one to replace an older Tri- tronics Classic Pro 70 just because, there was nothing wrong with the old one just new dog new collar. Will keep the old one for a spare as it still works fine.
Pros
  • Familiar with the buttons very easy to use. Can run multiple dogs off one controller if needed.

Straight forward design
September 1, 2020
The design of this electronic collar allows you to react quickly in training and hunting situations without searching for buttons. Smaller, lighter collars are eaofor the dogs to carry over a long day or several long days.
Pros
  • Solid, reliable collar without unwanted extras.
Cons
  • I do like more stimulation settings.

The collar works great but the bark collar doesn't seem to work at all. It says it is turned from the factory but the dog doesn't seemed affected by it. So unless I am doing something wrong that part of the collar is disappointing.

This unit is just what I wanted. It allows me to get the dog's attention when a command is given. The number 1 setting is plenty of stimulation so far. For convenience of use, I would like to have a button above the dog collar selector toggle for the TONE mode.

We have 7 dogs and have sent most of them to training. We were suggested this product due to its quality. I was hesitant at first due to the price, but you get what you pay for. Excellent quality. We own the Pro 70 and Pro 550. Liked it enough to buy another. With training and this collar system we can now allow them to run freely on our land without any problems.

Works much better than the little Garmin Delta, which was pretty much worthless. The Pro 70 has plenty of variation in levels of stimulation for my dogs, and is very effective with tone/shock both. It is very easy to use, and quite sturdy
