E-collar/Beeper Questions
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2015 7:47 am
Good Morning-
My Vizsla has been making huge strides and is starting to push out further and further. This is a good thing because that is what I have been trying to get him to do. However, i now need a way to know where he is and also be able to control him at that distance. Originally, I got a cheap sport dog collar and it has been working great but I want to upgrade to something with more features and ability. I'd like some thoughts/opinions on beepers. Does it mess with the dog if he already is trained with a beep as a silent command? Also, did it take long for the dog to get used to it? I would want it to beep when he is on point so i can find him. I am definitely going with a Garmin. I have many of their products and have always been pleased. Does anyone have thoughts on the delta upland xc vs. the pro 550? As someone who has never used a tritronics- isnt the remote too big to carry around while hunting? I guess i really need to know if the beeper is worth it!
