I've used a Tri-Tronics Sport basic for years and it has worked great, no issues, no problems.

I've not been happy with Dogtra of late. The collars are great, but I got a lot less than ten years out of my 3502 even after sending it in for repair.

I bought the new Garmin Delta Upland and have been very happy with it so far, but for a long haired dog like yours you might want something you can get longer contacts for.

I have one I would sell you, tried to PM you but your inbox is full.....  PM and can you give your he details

Its a Tri-Tronics Sport Upland G3 EXP

Tri-Tronics having been sold to Garmin, they've stopped making certain models and replacement parts so, Garmin just turned TT into throw away stuff.

I bought a Dogtra Edge RT. I can get anyone here a really good deal on it. Pretty well under $400. I really like mine. Very easy to use, good feel and all the right features.

Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Disagree with Tri-tronics is junk...  Have owned my original one for over 15 years and it still works like a champ....

I don't think Happy was saying the older models are junk. However, Garmin bought TT so they don't make parts for the older models, much like yours that you've had for 15 years. They are slowly (or quickly depending on how you look at it)  changing all of the new TT models over to the Garmin brand. So the quality of the new GARMIN will not be the same. It's a business, so Garmin will look to cut corners to increase margins.

When people say "i've used it for 15 years" that's great and they have a great product, but now when their battery doesn't last as long and they try to replace it, that wont be possible.

out of curiosity what have you noticed about Garmin cutting corners on their new products? i run the pro 70 and its been performing just the same as any of the classic 70 or trashbreaker G2 or G3s ive had. the pro's easier to charge, its a smaller receiver, has remote LED lights, and has a built in NO bark collar.

it is a throw away collar. No replacement parts, batteries or customer service to support the product. So when it quits working, throw it away and buy a new one. Something as simple as the dog chews off the antennae. trash.

Its kinda like anything out there, you can debate and debate all you want and still run into a wall of what is best.....

no question in my mind TT used to be the best.

Agree with you that TT used to be the best absolutely!

so i guess where im confused is the "Throw away collar" . there are batteries ect for the Garmin Pro Series and have all the replacement parts the Tri Tronics G3 series had. they have warranties and refurbishment services. if your dog chewed up the antenna on a pro series you can get it refurbished the same thing you would have to do if your dog chewed up your G3 transmitter

i dont by any means think Garmin is the best option for everybody and i do think that its kind of like ford chevy dodge, pick one and you most likely will have a good experience. i just dont agree with the thinking that since Garmin bought TT that its all crap now... its not like Garmin fired everyone at tri tronics who was designing and building these things and tried guessing how to do it on their own.

I do not believe refurbishment and new spare parts are offered. You can barely find a collar on the Garmin website. The word is that Garmin purchased TT for a patent they had and have no intention of keeping a low production company in their portfolio.

Collar Clinic was a private company not affliated with TT. CC has announced there are collars they can no longer repair and refurbish because Garmin is not continuing to make or offer parts.
