Purchased a second training collar for a second dog. It was easy to buy and was delivered as scheduled after a brief delay but actually when planned. Second collar works as described and we’re all happy with the product.

Easy to sync to existing handheld
October 4, 2021
I have always had 2 separate systems for my dogs. When my older Garmin started to give me trouble, I decided to try them both on the same handheld. For just over $100 dollars it was the cheapest solution since the spare collar was in stock. It's so much nicer working with a single handheld! Collar arrived quickly (Thank you Gun Dog Supply!) and was trivial to get synced to the handheld. Great service, great price. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that the D-Link on the collar is not the same quality as the original Garmin collars. It broke off the first time I used it, which was disappointing.
Pros
  • Cheap solution, easy to sync, arrived quickly
Cons
  • D-collar not high quality. Collar material is thinner than original Garmin collar

Best Collar Ever
September 25, 2021
I love this collar and this purchase gives me 3. It is user friendly and has enough power to handle any dog I’ve ever had run through my business. I have had about 4 sets of other collars, but these are the best. I would recommend them to anyone needing a professional set.

GUN DOG SUPPLY IS AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO GET PRODUCTS
September 11, 2021
I have a garmin PRO 70 and run through collar receivers because I have a dog who spends TOO much time in the water! According to Garmim, they are water resistant, yet enough water can damage them. I have found Gun Dog Supply to be the best place for me to buy replacement collar receivers. Their price is reasonable and if you have questions they are happy to answer them!

Great training tool
September 2, 2021
This is a second collar for a dog added to our family. The handheld controller works both collars easily. Never had a problem with the first collar over the 3 years I have used it. Collars are easy to apply. Love the light feature. My only concern is the incorrect instructions fir pairing the collar to the handheld. I had to call customer service to find out that there is a step missing in the written instructions. Customer service quickly fixed the problem. Great product and great company! I highly recommend both.

Outstanding training collars
June 29, 2021
I’ve been using for past 4 to 5 years and needed some additional collars for my other controller. Still one the best training collars for dogs. Use them for my hunting dogs and family pet dogs, it better yelling. Only need to use the beep after a couple times. The light is really nice to locate your dog at night as long as they are within eye sight. Gun Dogs has one of the best services include getting product to you in a timely manner. It’s true family service that I can depend on. Thanks, Steve
Pros
  • Build in light!
  • Long use between charges!

Best All-Around
June 9, 2021
Like another reviewer, I got right around 7 years out of my original setup, with lots of regular use including swimming. And also like that reviewer, the stim has become unreliable - sometimes it works and others it doesn't. The other functions (beep, vibrate, and lights) still work, and the collar still receives the signal, but whatever capacitors etc must be involved with the stim function are apparently wearing out. The battery lasted about as long - I replaced it less than a year ago. I debated upgrading to the Pro 550 Plus for the added GPS function but my dog now stays closer to us on the trails etc so I just couldn't justify purchasing that setup when a new collar would do the trick. I'll keep the old one on hand for the vibrate function - sometimes when a second dog visits it would be nice to be able to vibe either or both (with owner consent) to break their fixation on delivery vans etc.
Pros
  • Great range
  • Remotely adjustable stim
  • Beep function usually preempts the need for stim
  • Long-lasting
Cons
  • Operation requires at least some "orientation" - can be a bit complicated if someone else helps watch your dog from time to time

June 8, 2021
I have two GSP’s and I Bought 1 garmin sport pro a year ago to give it a whirl, after texting in all conditions it holds up great and preforms perfectly! Just purchased a second collar for my other gsp and I am Very happy with this setup. I have Tried cheap Amazon collars before and went through tons of them because they were junk. Well worth the extra money to get something with this kind of quality. Love it and will not be looking back at cheap junk and I highly Recommend.
Pros
  • Working every time with good battery life.
Cons
  • Haven't found any cons.

I've used e-collars for 20 years. The 550 is my favorite, I like the simplicity of operation and the 21 stimulation levels on this unit. On occasion, I find the bark correction feature quite useful. The customer support is fantastic.
Pros
  • Many levels of stimulation. Multi-funtion capability
Cons
  • I'll let you know if and when I find any.

I purchased a Garmin Sport e collar system and an extra collar from Gun Dog Supply. The purchasing procedure, pricing and product were all perfect. Buying on the website was easy. The pricing was competitive and was in stock which I had problems elsewhere. The products arrived in a timely manner. The Garmin is a great system. Easy to use and reliable. Very happy with the purchase.

Garmin Sport Pro Extra Collar
April 10, 2021
I purchased this item to replace a collar that would no longer work. I replaced the battery but no go. It is marketed as an extra collar to add a dog to the Garmin Sport Pro transmitter, which will do up to 3 collars, but I purchased it solely as a replacement. It was much more cost efficient to replace the collar as opposed to buying the whole system. The item was shipped by Gun Dog Supply immediately. I received it much earlier than anticipated. It came with 2 collars, charging system, instructions, everything I needed. The only issue I had was getting the collar to pair with the transmitter. The instructions from the manufacturer are very short and missed an important step. I was able to find the information with a quick Google search. Love Gun Dog Supply, second order from them and shipping is always immediate, customer service is excellent.
Pros
  • Pairs with existing Garmin Sport Pro transmitter. Replacement collar or use to add an extra dog. Has multiple training options, tone, vibration, or shock. Barklimiter, also has lights to locate dog in the dark.
Cons
  • Manufacturer instructions do not include important step in pairing collar with transmitter.

Awesome device bark control as well as training device for any dog
April 10, 2021
We have 3 dogs at home two designer dogs Yorkie Bichon mix 12 & 7 lbs and a 1 year old 90lb yellow lab. We have three collars one for each dog and only need one controller with this system. It works great for all three dogs. With work from home very time the UPS or FedEx driver would pull up it was a complete disaster, it would sound like a dog kennel. What a difference this has made for out house. The 3 collars are color coded for each dog. Only thing you need to make sure of is you have correct color code on the handheld to correct right dog. Require little owner training.
Pros
  • Easy to use
  • Great immediate correction of or on leash
  • Bark controller
  • Up to 3 dogs
  • Tone, vibration or shock correction
  • 10 levels of shock
  • Charging internal batteries no replacing batteries
Cons
  • Can Correct wrong god if you don't have the right color so I could on hand controller

Best system I have ever had for my grouse dogs.
April 6, 2021
I have been using Garmin products for many years as a bird dog owner and aircraft pilot. I rely on their reliability, durability and versatility. Garmin always comes through each and every time I use them.
Pros
  • I own multiple sets of Garmin's series 550 for my gun dogs. I typically have two dogs on the ground making the multi collar system invaluable. The lighted collars are also of great value at dusk or during the evening and early mornings to help locate the dogs.
  • I would recommend to always have fully charged spare collars so they can be swapped out if necessary during a long day in the field. I run different colored collar straps for my different dogs. It helps me keep track of my dogs and collars especially when hunting with friends who also run the 550 system.
Cons
  • Don't really have any to speak of. The systems are durable and take a beating without fail.

Garmin Pro 550 extra collar
April 1, 2021
The system works really well. It is probably the way Tritronics would have gone if they had not been bought by Garmin. Although it is disappointing to have to buy foreign-made equipment, Garmin has maintained the high quality of the old Tritronics brand and lowered the price a nice bit. The advantage of these electronic collars is that one does not have to wait for a satellite signal. The levels of stimulation are adequate and reliable for my bird dogs. It would be nice if they would figure out how to get the Pro 550 Plus to control the PT10 and the T5 GPS collar, especially if one has a lot already invested in those 2 systems. 2 thumbs up otherwise.
Pros
  • No need to wait for satellite signal.
  • Levels of stimulation adequate and reliable
  • Durable construction
  • Compact size
  • Adequate range
  • Bark mode, beep, and lights are nice accessories
  • Attractive price
  • Good back up from manufacturer
Cons
  • Not compatible with Pro 550 Plus

I now have 4 of these collars and they don't let me down.
Pros
  • Good quality, great battery and the beacon lights. It's nice to turn on the lights when the dogs are out after dark here on the farm. It allows them to stretch their legs after the sun goes down without me worrying where they are.
Cons
  • None

Garmin Sport Pro Extra Collar
March 19, 2021
This collar was an awesome purchase. We originally bought the collar and remote for our first pup so if course we had to get the extra collar for our second pup! It is so easy to set up. We have two GSPs who are stubborn and “spoiled”. Training the dogs with this collar is so easy and worth every cent!
Pros
  • Very easy to manage set up.

Another great purchase from Gun Dog Supply!
March 18, 2021
We recently purchased the Garmin Tri-tronics PT-10 Pro 550 collar for our new dog. We currently use the system with two other dogs. Adding this collar was very quick. My husband normally does this but he was away so I tried. It takes about 30 seconds and Gun Dog Supply has quite a bit of info regarding the “how to part” with all products. Thanks again Gun Dog Supply and the lights are a great feature on these collars at night where we live!
Pros
  • LED lights on collar for night time
  • Easy to follow instructions
  • Very durable
  • Easy to use
  • Long battery life
  • Plenty of notice before in needs charging

Not as Long Range as Advertised
December 20, 2020
This is a line of sight device. By that mean literally line of sight, not VHF type line of sight. If there are any hills between you and the dog you are lucky if the signal will travel 200 yards. I wish someone made an e-collar that worked at a true half mile or even 400 yards but I haven't found one. I use the beep feature to call the dog back instead of blasting on a whistle. However, when the signal doesn't carry there is nothing to hear.
Pros
  • I like the light that can be turned on and off remotely and the Garmin quality. However, I am still looking for a true long range e-collar. This isn't it. I recommended it since it is fine for training only or for people the hunt in flat country and/or who have dogs that do not range far.
Cons
  • Not as long range as advertised.

Extra collar for Pro 550this collar
December 20, 2020
This extra collar is perfect for my second dog. I was able to link it to my Pro 550 collar.
Pros
  • Easy to use. I like the bark collar feature.
Cons
  • Instructions for pairing are not very clear. It took several tries and some interpretation before it linked. Other than the poor instructions, it is a very good collar.

Greatest collar ever made
October 2, 2020
We bought just the collar this time as we were replacing an old one. We will continue to use these collars for every dog we’ve got. We have two chocolate labs (English, complete bulls) and this is the greatest training tool around. They both love to wander and this collar lets them go do their thing while giving us security that they’ll always come back when called. Our dogs use them in the water (fresh and salt), in the woods and on the trail and they never malfunction. Also gives them a wide range so that we can let them roam on long hikes or when they free swim. Great product overall. We also always order from Gun Dog Supply. My dad has ordered from them for all of our dogs and we’ve continued the tradition. I received a call to verify that I was getting the right order (because we only needed the collar this time) and that it was coming to the right place (recent change of address). The team is very professional and courteous. They went the extra mile and we couldn’t appreciate it more. We are customers for life.
