Title: Multi dog ecollars
Post by: hollymaster on January 02, 2018, 12:48:12 PM: Looking at getting a 4 dog collar, anyone have any recommendations? Not looking at anything with gps (just not in the funds right now).

Maybe give these guys a try - Hunt WA sponsor.

I was able to get a refurbished Tri-Tronic Classic 70 Exp 6 dog system with 2 collars a few years back at very reasonable price. System works like a charm to this day. Can also add Beepers to this model.

Duh. 3 Brittany and a Griffon upland and waterfowl. Definitely something with tone or vibration.

It was more of a “duh” guess I should’ve been a little more specific on what Intended usage was going to be.

I don't have experience with other brands, but these have been awesome for me. I rarely have to shock, my lab responds nearly perfectly to a quick vibration even when she is fully wound up.

Really just not into it that much anymore except for week long trips. I lost my wonder dogs last year at this time, just kind of still in a funk .

More for just around the property, I already have a two dog collar. Just going to be awhile before I can fence the ten acres. Just need a hearing aid for them. :chuckle:

Post by: nutntoit on January 10, 2018, 11:37:27 AM: I have a Garmin Sport Pro. You can run up to 3 dogs on it. I have only been hunting my Lab this year, but it has been great. I will be running 2 next season so we'll see how that goes. Garmin also makes the Pro 550 that is expandable to more dogs. This is a good place to buy e-collars and regular collars too. They sell refurbished Tri-tronics and Garmin units as well. https://www.outdoordogsupply.com/

Not trying to be a jerk, but that sounds like a really bad idea for ecollar use. E-collars aren’t “hearing aids.”
