Remarkably versatile training device for your best friend
The three different alerts, Tone, then Vibe, then Shock are helpful. Using them in this order as you and your dog learn about the collar becomes intuitive and recognizable to the dog after only a short while. (7 to 14 days). My dog takes note of the tone and listens to audible commands. The vibe mode almost always causes him to return to me should the Tone not do so. And for those rare instances where tone and vibe do not get his attention, usually when another dog approaches, then the shock and an audible COME command will bring him back to my side. The variable intensity settings are helpful, 1 – 10. My dog responds well at setting 2. The light is also a great feature when walking evening or early morning. The collar should fit snug. Two fingers should fit very snugly under the collar. He should breathe and drink without restriction. And frequent swimming in a pond or the ocean has not affected the collar, and commands work as expected. My best friend is a 105 lb German Shepherd/Wolf hybrid and he does extremely well with the use of this collar. I can count on him to act appropriately even among multiple animals at the dog park. Get yourself a neck lanyard and take your dog anywhere, almost hands free. This is a wonderful collar training device!!

Best Product
I waited 2 months to write this review to allow sufficent people time using this product. We have an almost 2yo lab. He is the best family dog ever but just has a ton of puppy energy. I have worked with him on training since we got him at 3months old. He knew all the basic commands and was reliable inside the house. The second we were outside all bets were off. He was generally well behaved but we drastically struggled with recall. I could not ever trust he would come when called and he would run off to other pets/people to play.I researched a lot of ecollars and how to use them/train with them. This ecollar has been the absolute best purchase ever. It took about 2 weeks and he was fully trained with recall. I trained him so that now he listens to us verbally and if he doesnât, I use the beep function and he immediately comes. He will not run out of our yard without us(no fence) and he checks in often.Having an off leash dog is the best. He is so different using this collar. Just putting it on, itâs likeImmediate obedience with all commands he already knew. So far no batter issues, definitely easy to use.Make sure your dog is strong with your commands before trying to train on the ecollar. This was supplemental to what he already knew and just took his training up a notch.

perfect!
The product works flawlessly, the tone & vibrate mode are all the is needed after 2 shocks. My son tried the shock on his arm to be sure it was not too much; he would not consider it in humane. Good quality and videos were just as illustrated. Yes 5+ stars, would highly recommend. Great on a large dog.

Not the most intuitive, but it does work well once you learn it
It works quite well – including with 3 collars linked to the same controller. My main complaint is that it is nor very intuitive to control the various features. Despite me being very technically minded, I found myself having to resort to referring to the owners guide for the first couple of weeks to figure out how to do what I was wanting with the different modes. Eventually I learned it, but its not as simple as you may assume. My other complaint is that you can’t control the blinking lights on the collars which can be quite bright. They are fine when the dogs are outside, but we often use the collars inside especially for the bark limiting feature. In the dark evening, those blinking lights will light up the whole room briefly, and they do so every few seconds.

It works!
As long as you get the contacts to get through the fur and touch your dog’s neck, it works great. It is easy to use without looking at the remote, so I can keep my hands in my pockets if it’s cold out. The battery on the remote lasts forever! The battery on the collar lasts a long time. The white LEDs are easy to see at night unless they get blocked by fur. The vibration is very gentle, so it’s great for training the dog to use the collar. Be very careful when finding which stim level to use on your dog. My poor puppy didn’t react at all. I kept upping the level, and she just lay down. I thought she couldn’t feel it, so I kept increasing it. She did feel it but didn’t know how to react, so she just laid down. Eventually, she yelped in pain, and I felt bad. I recommend using the vibration instead when first starting out. The bark collar mode can’t be used if you are also using the remote. You must hold down or tap the buttons multiple times to get out of the bark collar mode and back into remote mode. You can also turn on the bark mode from the collar without using the remote. To turn it back off, you have to do it from the collar. On my 8-month-old German Shepherd puppy, I use level 3 stim for most everyday walks. I use higher levels if there are deer and many cars by, and I’m concerned she might try to chase the deer or run into traffic, etc. I’ve never had to go above 6 with her. Before I used it on my puppy, I tried it on my hand first, then my neck. Level 10 is not fun and would deter me from any behavior, but it isn’t exactly “painful.” It’s extremely uncomfortable and makes your muscles tense up. I dropped the remote on a sidewalk from pocket level once, and it just scraped it up a bit in one spot, but it didn’t do any real damage to the controller; it was just cosmetic. I only gave it four stars because it should come with a belt clip and lanyard. I don’t know what Garmin was thinking when they designed the charger. It’s like five pieces of old-style USB. It’s weird and overly complicated. I don’t know why. The accessories are crappy/lacking, but the actual remote and collar are nice. There are many aftermarket collars to replace the black buckle one that comes with this. The black buckle one is secure and waterproof but difficult to get on and off. In closing, it works great for giving me the confidence that if I need to get my dog to obey me in a sketchy situation, she will. I’m able to walk my dog off-leash, worry-free. Thanks Garmin!

Bought this collar to help teach my dog recall. She’s a stubborn hound who is a rescue and didn’t get trained recall as a puppy, so she catches a scent and takes off in the bush.The product is expensive, but I trust Garmin products and I didn’t want to buy something cheap that would accidentally hurt my dog.Love the dial on the remote because I don’t have to mess with buttons to set it to the level I need, and when you have a fast dog, that’s a great time-saver. Levels 1-3 are a tickle, and 4-5 don’t hurt, but are just a little jolt to get your attention. I tried level 6 on myself too and it doesn’t hurt a lot, but it’s definitely unpleasant and I won’t be using past that level and really only will ever use it if my dog is in danger. We only used it on e because my dog ran off in the bush and was in the road. Stopped her in her tracks and she came running back though, so it works. For dogs that have thicker skin (or skulls) the higher levels would probably be useful.Also love the tone feature! She has learned that with the tone, it’s time to come and I don’t have to use the vibrate or shock on her at all anymore.It’s also good in a bit of water if your dog accidentally falls in the water, but it isn’t meant for swimming.Really impressed with this product! I’m glad I dished out the money for it.

The sport pro are fairly expensive but they really are full featured an the always work. Another thing is their long battery life I can go 3+ days before charging the collars and at least a week for the remote. My dogs respond very well to tone and vibe. I trained them tone is come and tone is stop what your doing but no need to come. Static is not used often and only when needed primarily for safety concerns. I use two collars and switching between the two is easy with no need to look at the remote.

Luckily haven’t had to test the range as my boy has stayed close, but we’ve trained his recall to include the vibration on the collar which is a helpful feature when they’re running in the woods and you don’t want to be yelling. The little headlights are handy. The only downside I believe is when you don’t realize the toggle on the top has been hit and is now on a different collar setting, meaning that if you need to use your collar your dog won’t be getting any feedback whatsoever.Overall a good product, only comparison I can make is to a Dogtra collar my parents dog has, it most certainly has better features the only physical difference is the Garmin is a bigger device on the dog – but could be from a better battery(ies)?

I really like the size and weight of the collar…so nice and light. Would have liked the tone to be a bit louder.
