Someone showed me this product and in usual fashion I researched it and all the competitors = came right back to this product. I know Garmin and I know Tri-Tronics so the two companies together is a great calculated "risk". GunDogSupply offered a great, informative write-up better than any I could find. For the extra penny, getting the check cord and video (thru email) was a great value; gave me confidence to use the stimulation on my sensitive female Chesapeake Bay Retriever (installed long prongs). This tool has refined the known commands and the 6 mo old pup has refined her skills faster than other dogs i've trained quicker and more effectively. If the user takes the time to learn how to implement the tool in the right way the results are amazing! I recently met a guy on the trail with 3 dogs using this unit - using the same 2 transmitters for 7yrs and 3yrs! I live by the ocean and the dog rolls in the sand and saltwater, I run freshwater over the collar and transmitter and air dry - no problems after 30 days & am confident it will last for years to come. Word of advice is to make sure the collar has good contact with the dog's SKIN = work the prongs into the fur/hair.

We had an older Garmin E collar and liked it a lot. With new rescue pup Luna, I bot this model to help us both. Luna eventually will soon be a service dog for my hearing impairment. This Garmin is perfect. The lockout on the transmitter makes sure i don’t misfire. The transmitter is small. The tone>vibrate>correction escalation makes it easy. In a month, I’ve only escalated once. Now it’s tone only and most days all she needs now are voice commands. She “got it” more quickly than any of our dogs ever. And, we’ve rescued a bunch. The “light” feature is easy to access if you need it at dark.

I've enjoyed it so far. I've only used it in the field once and it did great. I use the bark eliminator all the time and it works great!

Works great. My 2 pups car run free on the farm and stay under my control. Love the beep feature to call them in. Very good investment.

Game changer with great features.

This is my first ever electronic collar - I haven't used it for a correction yet, because I'm totally new to this training process - I'm still learning about how and why to use it. This is what I like: it's easy to figure out and seems easy to use, my dog doesn't mind wearing it. What I wish were better or different: (1) I wish the tone had different volume settings, as it's too loud for a dog that's wearing the collar. (2) I wish the "shock" feature had more levels. I tried a level 1 on the palm of my hand - couldn't feel it. Tried a level 2 and it buzzed me. Tried a level 3 and I felt like I had been burned and had to throw the thing on the floor. I have a very sensitive border collie who is going to need something in between these settings. Also, wish the "continuous" button was bigger, or had texture on it. I would hate to hit this button by accident when I was trying to press something else.

Good eCollar. I am basically happy with the Sport Pro eCollar. It is effective on my pup and the handheld is very ergonomic and intuitive to use. A thoughful design just like everything Garmin makes!

Awesome product and easy to use!

This is my second Garmin E-collar. I have the Pro 550 and the sport pro. I go to reach for the sport pro much more with its easy use. Once you learn to use an e-collar properly it is an amazing tool and will greatly improve your relationship with your pup and what is better than That!!

I am very pleased with how long the battery life is with this unit. I like the blinking green light which helps keep an eye out during night time especially when working with a black lab. The unit is strong and durable and the on/off button is a great design.

Great product. Easy to use, rugged . 5 in 1 bark- light-vibrate-tone- and shock. Up to 3 collars on 1 remote

This collar is easy to operate and vary the stimulation used to train your dog. I have also been using the bark limiter setting to control nuisance barking. I plan on buying another since my other dog has decided to fill the silence with his barking. I have used a couple of other training collars and this is by far and away the best collar. It works at the distances promised and the dog will react to it no matter how stubborn. I am completely satisfied with this product.

This collar replaced a Sport that was 15 years old. Love the size and simplicity of the transmitter. Reaches out plenty far enough for what I do.. Used with a 7 year old lab that knows when the collar goes on we are headed to the lake and he gets very excited. Great collar at an affordable price. Only negative I have is that the collars are no longer repairable.

Good solid tool. Works perfectly.

I love this training collar.

A fair priced and effective tool for dog training.

I have used the Sport Pro now for over a month. I use it as a daily training aid during yard work and training in the field. For hunting in unfamiliar places where I need tracking, I use a Garmin Alpha. The Sport Pro receiver is small and compact. The receiver is also easy to use single handed without having to look at it - so corrections are very fast. The tone and vibrate functions also work well by breaking the dog's concentration on distractions without having to use stimulation.

I bought this collar after trying several others. I like this collar as it is easy to use and highly adjustable. I bought from GunDogSupply as it came with a video and long lead. Both of these would have been additional costs elsewhere and were very helpful in training.

Words cannot express what I've learned since using this product. I have had dogs most of my life, but never has training been so easy. My new Yellow Male Lab is coming along nicely. He retains his memory with my help and Garmin's tone only. Nice delivery and timely... This is a great business to help the dog owners as well. All the products that are needed are here. Best of luck

This is a great product. Many features. I use two of them because I run 4 dogs. I have two dogs on each remote. One set has solid collars the other has reflective collars. The reason I run two is no one makes a 4 dog collar with this many features. 10 levels of stim, vibrate and tone. bark collar capable as well has lights which is good when camping. I use center toggle as a neutral on each remote and can easily switch up or down depending on which dog I'm running. Both units were purchased from fun dog supply. Also Steve has great videos on line that explain all the features. I highly recommend this setup.

The 1st thing to mention is the customer service @ Gun Dog Supply is amazing...My original ordered shipped within a day but got caught up in the Bermuda Triangle of the USPS between Jackson MS & Memphis TN (it still hasn't arrived)...Kathleen promptly sent out another one with UPS and it got to our home in 2 days so we could get to training before our pup's 1st road trip to the Oregon Coast beaches...She took a bad original experience & flipped it around...Thanks! Th This is our 3rd generation of corrective devices in about 30 years & I love that it's more compact with more features...Sometimes our dog needs a different stimulant to get her attention and we'd rather not shock all the time...The tone & vibration are nice alternates...The training video & long lead were very helpful at getting us to our goal quickly...Don't forget to add the belt clip to your order because it really should not be an option. Two thumbs up on our purchase!

I was really reluctant to purchase this because I already had a 8-10 year old garmin that I was happy with. I lost the remote so decided to get an entire new system. The remote is completely different than the old one (except that it is the same shape). I like the new toggle button to change dogs. It works for three different dogs. I have two so chose black and red to match the collars they sent. I don't like the dial for the shock amount as I have one Pyrenees cross who is very resistant and one aussie that only requires a low charge. the last controller I had you could set individual shock values for each dog. I haven't figured out how to use the bark collar yet, but I will.

I just bought my second Garmin Collar. They are reliable and take a beating. There design makes them easy to activate without looking at the transmitter.

Great unit , I ran 2 beagles and a lab on it for years, my 2 girls (beagles)have since past on and I just bought a new collar and remote for the lab. They are great and very reliable,garmin service is excellent. And the units are very durable.

This replaced a 20+ year old Tri-Tronics Sportsman. I've been very pleased with the additional features and overall quality of the unit. Very useful in training an energetic 17 month German Shepherd. I wouldn't be surprised if I got 20+ years service out of this e-collar as well.

My dog would ignore me and run into the neighbor's yard. He knew the what "No" and "Come" meant but choose not to obey. I used the collar for two days correcting him first giving a warning tone then a shock if he did not I respond. He obeys commands now.

Fantastic product, and great company to do business with.

Feature rich compact Garmin multi dog trainer with easy to use controls. I also have the garmin Pro 550 plus has tracking features that is somewhat bulky that comes in handy if you have a it runners dog. The Sport Pro is great for everyday dog training and fit in a pocket.

Beau has been extremely responsive to the collar since I first started working with him. The video was also very helpful.

We have rough collie and were concerned this collar would not work through her thick double coat. We tried other brands, and they did not work. This collar works! We just need setting 4 on the electric stim. We find that the tone (beep!) is enough to redirect our collie's attention 95% of the time. This is helping her learn not to run up to other dogs or people without permission, to stay close on outings, and to not chase wildlife. Note: The vibration doesn't seem to work with her thick coat.

have been wanting to upgrade from an old (25+ years) Tri Tronics simple short range shock collar for a long time. this new (to me anyway) collar that i can adjust on the fly and also has tone/vibrate modes along with the led lights is EXACTLY what i've been needing. always hated using the shock feature to just control an exited dog when the tone/vibration option would suffice to clear the temporary deafness and ear wax buildup that sometimes occurs during hunting. the light fixture is great too as we walk out in the dark some days and i let him happy time on the way back to the truck. great delivery speed on my order, thanks again from myself and Fynn.

I’m very happy with the size of the remote. It fits in my hand or pocket without being cumbersome.

This collar is easy to charge and use. I use the tone for callback and only use the stim if they ignore the tone. We can go walking the dirt road, fields, and woods in total freedom. Definitely have to do the initial training in the yard until the dog understands what you are asking. My dogs come running when they hear the collar being turned on because they know they are going on an adventure!

The only complaint I have is that the transmitter should be optic orange in color. Great product

Long collar, easy to configure, works great. I got this for my Boykin and haven’t had to get past 3 with it. I like the extra functions. I haven’t found a use for the vibrate yet. Overall good product.

We have been using the Garmin Tri-Tronics Sport Pro for about a month now. I primarily bought it for my eleven month old black lab. I really like the vibration feature, and I love that it lights up. The bark limiter worked like a charm on my beagle that likes to bark when he’s bored. So far I’m very pleased with this collar.

The e collar was as described in the video reviews within Gun Dog Supply’s website. Works great I like the ability to dial in the intensity level on the wheel of the remote. The video with Robin is extremely helpful. I am very happy with the purchase! I highly recommend this product.

Used the Garmin Tri-Tronics Sport Pro for about 3-minutes with a well-trained Golden who was just not 100% reliable to recall with distractions and precise heal command (he lost focus and wondered at times). Problem solved! He's been in training with a professional for 2-years with treat motivation exclusively. That works most of the time, but "most of the time" isn't good enough.

I purchased the Pro Sport to help with my training. Excellent product. Works very well. Would recommend as a training collar for sure.

Adding the utility of a bark limiter to a great training collar makes this a most valuable training aid.

My dog trainer recommended this collar for my young rescue dog, who is high energy and inclined to run throughout our 15 acres. The collar reminds her to come when called and not wander off into the woods. Easy to use and effective.

I've had these collars for a few years now. Replaced my old TriTronics collars (remote broke, couldn't get replacement) for this one. Never thought I'd care or need the bark limiter but it has come in handy. Love the light. I can't believe how long they last before needing charged

I am very pleased with the product. The only complaint I have is the only way I con get the $30.00 rebate is online and requires a photo of the receipt. I do not have a way to do that and they will not accept a mail in rebate. As I said I was pleased with the product even though I haven't used it yet. I am considering returning it because I was not able to get my rebate.

The collar was an upgrade from the Dogtra Arc. I decided to purchase the Garmin due to the tone and light features. The design is solid and easy to operate…very happy with it. Our Italian Pointer had no issues with adjusting to the tone, which works flawlessly. Thank you Garmin. And thank you, Steve and the rest of the team at Gun Dog Supply!!

I’m a 74 year old woman with two hip replacements and back issues. This is my second brand of electronic collar. I’m not a hunter but need a collar for my very headstrong, rather large rescue Lab, Rottweiler, Beagle cross. I know! He’s conflicted, but a fun loving happy dog. This Garmin collar is easy to set up right out of the box, is easy to understand and easy to use the hand held controls to really dial in what works and use no more than necessary. I’ve put a lot of hours of training into my dog and this collar will help to advance that even more. I had one question during my ordering process and I received an answer immediately. This collar is far superior to the first one I had which was another well reviewed brand of similar cost.

I like the ease of use for this product. The company was easy to order from and had quick delivery.

The Garmin Sport Pro was a game changer for me in training our dog. He understood when I wanted him to come, but even with a treat as a reward often chose not to. The training collar made him understand that I was serious, and his attitude completely changed. He rarely needed more that one stimulation a day during the first week of collar training, and almost never after two weeks. The collar can beep or vibrate as well as stimulate, and the beep is all that he needs anymore. With the collar we were also able to stop him from chasing cars in our driveway in only a couple of sessions. Our dog is apparently more stubborn that the dogs in the training video, and would completely blow off the low levels of stimulation, the level where you could see he felt something but was not too bothered by it. However, one stimulation that bothered him (3-5) was enough for the day. My wife was very hesitant about using a training collar on our dog, but we are both now completely sold on its value.

The size of the transmitter is perfect. I love the option of the lighted collar. My biggest complaint is paying $350+ for the product and there's no clip or lanyard with the handheld. That's an accessory for $13 and the other $12.

Although Ij just recently bought and started using these I'm already excited and pleased with the results. So appreciate a system that can accommodate the different training and safety needs of my two Springer Spaniels one age 11 years and the other 18 mo. old. I value the video tutorial re the system as well as the support of the Gun Dog Supply team. thanks much

Only had this e collar for a week, but so far I'm finding it very easy to use, one hand control and easy to find the correct button while watching my dog.
