I own the alpha its nice to have peace of mind knowing where your dog is all the time especially after losing a dog for a few hours while hunting in a corn field.  I used the gps this year to guide me down the mt in fog while chukar hunting.  It also has a flashing led on the collar for those long walks back to the truck in the dark.

A few factors can contribute to hot spots. Allergy to the Nickle in the contact points to simply having it on to randomly and during long periods of wet skin

I find it very odd. She can wear any other brand of training collar with no problem but if she wears that one for even a couple of hours her neck is bleeding when I take it off.

 :yeah: it's pretty common I used to get it a lot with my labs usually rotating positions on the dog on a regular basis limits the hotspot

You have tried every brand? I've had it happen with garmin, tt, dt, and dogtra, but I have used those a lot more than other brands

I guess I cannot say every brand, but every other brand I have tried has no problem. I've tried Dogtra, TT, and a couple of off brands as well. None of them has caused no issue, but if she wears that one for a couple of hours and we are talking blood running down her neck. Not cool. Which is why I ended up throwing it away. Which I was pretty upset about considering what I paid for it.

Never mind, I thought I threw it away, but apparently my wife hung into it. She is determined to get some of our money back.

There is no way a dog will bleed from a 5-10 minute session with a collar on. Matt, I don't believe I've ever met you. Do you run any HRC, hunt tests or field trials with your dogs you train? I'm at pointer hunt tests and trials in wa or and Idaho pretty regularly too.

I never said 5-10 minutes. I said within a couple of hours.

I had one of the older TT units and it worked pretty well.
I later got one of the early Flyway units and found out why everyone said TT had the best service dept and product backing in the industry.  It's from experience, everyone had to use it.

Bought a Dogtra 2000 NC unit more than a dozen yrs ago and the only time I have had to send it back was after many years to change batteries.  It was a demo model I bought from a factory rep, I have no idea how many hrs it had on it before I got it.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.

Nope, I don't have the desire for hunt tests ect.. Just train my dogs for hunting, and I've got access to a whole lot of different gear to use/test
