sport dog or tri tronics?

[BULLBLASTER]

Great collar..  I have the Sport G3 with the 3 collar system...  Love it

[BULLBLASTER]

Hey BULLBLASTER,

Tri Tronics has been around forever.  Good choice.  Price was right too!  I have the Dogtra train and beep.  10 years old.  Worked great for 9.  Sending it in for repair.  Water damage inside the collar.  Im so excited about deer and elk hunting I have hardly thought about birds!!  Its like a bonus hunting season!  Cant wait for Trigger to meet Gauge and hunt side by side!

BullBlaster,

Let us know what you think of that unit. Even though I have Dogtra I am always interested in learning about other equipment.

 I had the same collar on my dog. TT makes some good stuff.  I like how small it was.

I have a Tri-Tronics and love the fact that I can control up to six dogs off of one transmitter! Besides...It's made in the USA!  I know you didn't list it but if I HAD to choose another brand it would be Dogtra.

Hornhunter,

Please post about your experience with getting your Dogtra T&B fixed.  I have two of those collars, the older style and a new one of the redesigned versions.  My old one is about 5 years old now and still going strong, but I suppose I'll have to have the battery replaced some day, assuming nothing else goes wrong with it....

jeff,

I went online to interstate batteries http://www.interstatebatteries.com/cs_estore/ and found a replacement battery. I even found a code for free shipping by doing a search online. I went to Dogtra's site to find the exact battery. I think it only cost me 11 or 12 bucks. The collar was easy to open and replace the battery.  My unit is still waterproof except for the beeper horn dies out when it gets submerged. Unit seems to work as good as it did when I bought it. However, sending it in they probably replace the seals and test everything thoroughly.
