Garmin Pro Sport?
Posted: Sun Feb 14, 2021 10:43 am
Hi All,
We have a 12-wk old lab puppy and I'd like to invest in a shock collar for further training in her future. Right now I'm looking at the Garmin Pro Sport for $250.
Is this shock collar overkill if I do not intend to hunt with her? I simply want a good quality collar to assist with obedience training. Puppy will be raised on 2-acres and spend most of her time a 1-acre fenced back yard, but we may occasionally let her outside the fence. We will walk her through the neighborhood, the goal being unleashed. We are a social family, so puppy will get to see lots of visitors at our house and also at other peoples' houses as we travel, so I want here to be well-behaved for these situations.
From the searching I have done, it sure seems like if I spend any less, then I may run into issues with lower quality collars. I like the features of the Pro Sport, and I think the lights are a really cool feature as well. I just don't want to overlook something if I can save a little $$$
Thanks.
