Training collar

Post by Cmf » Fri May 20, 2016 6:29 am

Has anyone used the D.T. Systems R.A.P.T. 1450 Upland Training Collar? I am looking at getting a new collar for my GSP. I haven't found any reviews on it. I hunt mostly pheasants and grouse, so I am looking for a beeper/trainer combo, preferably with a locator option. Any recommendations?

My strong suggestion is to just get a Garmin Alpha 100 and TT15 combo and call it a day.

It has everything.

I have not tried one but I sure like the idea of having the transmitter at my hand while gunning. With a lanyard mount transmitter there is no way of correcting quick enough if dog goes on flush. AND they sure do know when you have that gun in your hand.

Not sure why anyone would waste time or money on anything other than dogtra or TT/Garmin

DT systems makes quality products and are easy to work with (in my experience). If you do your research and find a collar that fits your requirements.
