Re: Garmin Pro Sport?

how about just finding a good obedience trainer for your dog? you might want to check your city ordinance about walking a unleashed dog. I would look at Dogtra collars in your search. I've had both Dogtra and Garmin products. Dogtra has been the most reliable for me.

AG,,, It's a common sense. I can't figure out why some people risk the liability of letting a dog run loose. I know a fellow that's not hunting this year because a loose pitbull killed his dog. Invisible fence works great to keep your dog in, but not useful keeping dogs out.
