Best training collar for a my bird dog???

What about the Garmin??

I'm on season 2 with my Garmin Delta Upland. So far the thing has been solid, which is more than I can say for my Dogtra 3502 Super X, which has been sent back once already to Dogtra for repair, that is failing again.

OK.....narrowed it down to three.

Garmin / tri tronics pro 70
Garmin / Tri tronics pro 550
Sportdog prohunter sd 2525

All get good reviews.....which one would choose out of these three.  The Garmins have the Bark Limiter which is nice as she likes to bark at the neighbors cat.

Pro 70 would be my choice of those.  I like simplicity, easy and reliable.  Never had much use for vibration.  And I want any tones to come from the handler not the collar.

out of those three the Pro 70 is your best bet. its what i use personally, and has been a solid unit. very simple to use

New Garmin / TT brands suck.
Old/used Garmin stuff from Collar Clinic would be my only choice.

Dogtra RT for under and around $300 is a great deal and has all the features you need. I have a new Dogtra. It's a great collar. I have an older Pro 500. I would have gotten the same thing again except Garmin stuff I had junked out right away so, sent it back and ordered Dogtra and haven't looked back.

I had a TT Flyways for my female lab and it was great (pre garmin) got my rescue male lab and couldn't find the controller.  I bought an Einstein 2 dog trainer and after getting used to it like it.  I agree the dogs learn, but keep the collar on them and only use to enforce what they know.  I swapped the Einstein collars for old TT collars as they don't loosen up.  A couple things I like on the Einstein is the training function and the LED lights.  I will take the dogs to the local HS and let them run in the pitch black and watch the lights running around the field.  Should they dart off and chase something I can call and correct if needed.
