Garmin trouble switching dogs?

Post by weimdogman » Sat May 30, 2020 11:37 am

I have had a # of SportPros and notice when switching from 1 dog to another the unit doesnt work correctly. Delayed response to activate. This is super obvious when doung something like turning collar lights on/off.
I notice in PK videos they make a statement about all collars are color matched to the transmitters.
They use the 550 but I wonder if they haven't had the same issue so they keep them on a color?

No they use color coding because they never run two dogs on one transmitter. So one transmitter and one collar for each dog, and they want to make sure they have the right transmitter for the collar on the dog.

I use a 550 and a 550 plus daily and have no problems switching between dogs with them.

[*]
    I have a 550 also maybe I need to use that more.
    Common man you run multiple dogs at a time?

    I run my adult dog and pup together a couple of times a week but spend more time 1:1 because they are at opposite ends of the spectrum for development and training at the moment.
