GPS Collar Position
GPS Collar Position
I lost my pup in the woods today for about 10 minutes. I kept on the whistle and calling for him but couldn't hear him nor did he come back out of the brush he had gone into. I thought that he might had seen a deer and took off after it but after heading in to look for him I found him about 5 minutes later surrounded by thorn bushes without an easy way for him to get out.
I am thinking of purchasing the DC-50 collar to ease my mind about losing him and was wondering how people are running these collars on their dogs. Is strapping it to his waist a good idea or should I just put it on his neck with his other two collars?

Re: GPS Collar Position
I purchased an Astro this summer. Its really settles my mind, in both aspects of me getting lost and losing my dogs.
I strap in on their necks along with e collar and id collar with a bell. Sounds like a lot, but the dogs don't seem to mind it at all.
Also, I haven't heard much good about the DC-50. Most will say go with the DC-40

Id collar, ecollar, gps collar and bell seems a little overkill at first but it works great for me.ibbowhunting wrote:ruffbritt4 wrote:I run my britt with 3 collars, no problems so far.

I really like having the gps collar as Im not the person that is laid back when my dog is 100+ yards away in the woods.RichK wrote:I lost my pup in the woods today for about 10 minutes.

Re: GPS Collar Position
I like to add the ivomec tick collar to make it four. I've run out of neck space.
