Gun Dog Supply Exclusive: One Hour BASIC OBEDIENCE Ecollar Training Video
$40 Value -- You get this FOR A PENNY when you buy this ecollar.
We are proud to announce that Professional Dog Trainer Robin MacFarlane is working with us! We just wrapped another video shoot, and are launching her latest DVD.
What's interesting about these videos is that Robin has never worked with these dogs before, and several younger dogs have never been trained on an ecollar.
First, Robin walks you through the basic obedience commands showing what proper form looks like.
Next, Robin shows how she introduces the ecollar to two of Steve's puppies, Jack & Tilly, and shows you how to find the right STIM level to communicate with your dog.
She then turns that into a lesson for your dog to recognize that STIM means pay attention to your handler and expands that into a basic recall.
Additional segments include teaching RECALL, PLACE, SIT, and HEEL.
Exclusively available at Gun Dog Supply.

Training with STIM:
Tactile dial with clicks between levels allows you to raise and lower the stimulation level by feel without ever having to take your eyes off your dog
Teach yardwork/obedience and enforce known commands with lower levels of stimulation
Use higher levels to stop unwanted chasing or to overcome strong distractions
Contact Points:
Insulated contact points ensure consistent and reliable stimulation in the water
Includes interchangeable contact points for long or short-coated dogs
PRO 550 PLUS + TT15X Range
Collar range is up to 2 miles which is ample for most dog training or hunting situations. Maximum range is based on "line of sight." This means that to get the full range out of a system there should be nothing between the transmitter and the receiver, and the terrain should be flat and open. This isn't going to happen in most places that we spend time with our dogs. The range on all of the systems that we carry will vary depending on training conditions, including weather, terrain, and the presence of cover.
Remember, too much range will never hurt, but too little could be a problem.
Did a quick checkout and seems good. I watched a you tube on it and everything is consistent with what ISaw. Looking forward to a better evaluation.
Pros
It was delivered in the estimated time for shipment and all the pieces were in tact .
I would definitely use dog gun supply again and have. Great customer service.

Cons
I'm used to smaller transmitter so that will be a little adjustment.

Garmin Pro 550 Plus- Great training e-collar & GPS
March 19, 2021
Use this collar for training 100%. Was looking at this device for a while and glad I purchased. My buddy also uses this collar while hunting and has no concerns. But again I use for training only and its perfect for the job. Only one recommendation - I would love to have a trash break intensity/setting for a one time correction for chasing rabbits, etc. just need that extra intensity on certain occasions
Pros
Easy to read GPS and use
Has good feel in hand - well balanced
Cons
Make sure you are on the right collar its easy to accidentally change toggle/dog
By Allen

Simple to use, does all I wanted.
January 29, 2021
My big running pointers can get out of sight really fast. With the 550 Plus TT15 combo, I know where they are and what they are doing. Sometimes they forget that they are working for me and a quick vibration, buzz or light stimulation is all they need to bring them back in. I have one young bitch that is real timid and an older dog that is really bold. The 550 Plus has settings to adapt to both. Simple to use and at 78 yrs. young, 'SIMPLE' means a lot to me.
Pros
Simple to use
A full charge last for days.
Small screen but it's really easy to read.
Cons
Somewhat concerned about the toggle switches wearing out. When working multiple dogs there is a lot of switching going on. Time will tell, I may be wrong.
By Dave B.

Simple and reliable
June 16, 2024
This replaces another collar that required a smart phone app to monitor and send corrections making it difficult to send quick corrections. The 550 plus has everything I need right at my fingertips for a quick correction plus a simple screen with GPS direction and distance to my dog. The correction buttons took some getting used to since they are not labeled and the instructions are poor. However, Garmin support was great and they sent me an email with better instructions on what each button does, specifically on how to achieve high, medium, and low correction for each dial position.
Pros
everything I need right at my fingertips for a quick correction plus a simple screen with GPS direction and distance to my dog
Cons
Instructions are poor on how to access the various correction levels (2 large black buttons), you may need to call Garmin support.

Generic manual doesn't help operate
November 15, 2023
Manual and YouTube shows no detail. I'm left to guess. When I first operated I didn't know you don't have to pair collar each time. Nothing tells us about how to turn on controller, long press on switch, sort press, momentary switch? So, you don't know when to stop pressing button. Needs idiots guide, but I guess it's too much to ask idiots to write that.
Pros
Once you figure it out, it works nice.
Cons
Manual is a joke. It states obvious , but no set up guide or detail step by step for first time users.
By Frank

Not what I hoped for
November 15, 2023
I had hoped that the tracking would be a little more accurate between the Pro 550 plus and tracking collar. The TT25 is too large for my small French Brittany. Hoping Garmin brings back the TT15
Pros
The Plus 550 is easy to use
Cons
The collar is too big for my small French Brittany. Not always able to have contact. It's unfortunate that Garmin doesn't have the TT15 anymore.

Great simple GPS/training collar
November 19, 2022
Started off rough as the GPS didn't seem to give accurate distance. The tech support at Gun Dog was excellent! Turned out the handheld and collar needed a software update which was simple. Took my GSP out hunting and the collar/GPS worked perfect.
Pros
Simple, easy to use and set up
Easy to read direction/distance of the dog on the handheld
Good training collar, can be used with gloves on
Cons
None

Awesome tool for training
October 21, 2022
First time using this type of device and I love it. Training a new puppy for hunting and he's getting along just fine.
Pros
Easy to use and does both training and tracking.
By TW

Long time hunter but rookie hunting dog handler/master review of first hunt with this gear.
October 12, 2022
It works! Dogs position relative to mine and movements easliy and quickly assessed. Not perfect but definitely affective. Must have or I would be concerned about the whereabouts of my 8 month old Brittiny hunting dog even with the bells around his neck. The video is a plus. Overall 4.5.
Pros
Easy setup and short learning curve following the Owner Manual instructions.
Cons
A little long/bulky, sticks out of hunting vest pockets, need to add a lanyard.
By Dave

Perfect for my needs
August 26, 2022
I bought this gps unit/ collar in anticipation of a hunting trip out of state. However in using it for a few weeks just working the dog in cover, it really gives me peace of mind. I can't always see the dog in heavy cover. Or hear her, despite paging her. Finally I can tell at a glance her distance and direction. I only gave four stars because it's only been a few weeks and certainly not an inexpensive product, so I expect longevity too. Would definitely recommend.
Pros
Fairly easy to use and simple distance, direction to your dog.
Cons
Not cheap.
By Bubba
Pa
Works great once you figure it out
June 15, 2022
Wish it came with a printed copy of the manual. It would be helpful to learn how to use it since this is the first training and/or gps collar that I have ever used. Where I hunt and train there is no cell service to look up the manual. The collar itself works great for my pointing dog. It gives me great peace of mind when out in the field. Other than that it is a great collar. Wish it came with a lanyard, I ended up making one.
Pros
Range
Variety of settings
Battery life
Cons
No manual to reference when you don't have cell service

By Cory

Nice product for training.
February 25, 2022
Great product for training. Quick to change from dog to dog without having to look at a screen. However can't see screen after dark. Glad I have it for daytime training. I have the alpha 100 as well It's just not as quick or handy for training work
Merchant Response:Thanks for contacting Gun Dog Supply.
Garmin just released a software update on the Pro 550 Plus handheld that gives it a backlight feature on the screen, so you can see it at night.
You update the software on the Pro 550 Plus through Garmin Express.
Please let us know if you have any questions. We do appreciate your business.
Thanks!
Pros
Quick & easy to correct dogs without having to scan through so many screens
Cons
Can't see screen after dark. Only allows up to 3 dogs at a time

A Great Addition
October 28, 2021
The 550 Pro Plus is a great addition to my hunting gear. My two Wirehaired Pointing Griffons and I hunt from the Dakota's west and south to Nevada. I have used an Alpha 100 for the first 4 years with my dogs. It worked well but required too much visual and dexteral interaction. Along comes the 550 Pro Plus and I snap it up. Much easier to use without taking my eyes of the prey or the dogs. I still carry my Alpha to get the detail i need from the onxhunt maps if nothing less than for safety when the Griffs are out of sight. Having a spare collar that came with the 550 is an asset. I only have one complaint, so see my cons.
Merchant Response:Thanks for contacting Gun Dog Supply.
We now have nylon holsters for the Pro 550 Plus handheld.
See the links below.

Please let me know if you have any questions. We do appreciate your business.
Thanks!
Pros
So easy to use without distracting me from the hunt.
Cons
My only con has nothing to do with the 550 pro plus but with the holster options. I would love to have a nylon holster that offers MOLLE attachment options. I have to rig a zip-tie to hold it on my upland vest strap.
The next thought is for product development. I would like to have the option to program the baseline intensity setting so it changes when I switch between dogs. The intensity setting dial can be used to override the baseline setting when required. Food for thought.

By Bino

skeptical of calibration
September 15, 2021
The unit works as advertised, however, there is a problem with calibration. I tried calibrating the compass and the unit wouldn't respond. After talking with the Gun Dog reps I was sent to the Garman techs. They worked me through the updates and factory reinstall. It still wouldn't calibrate, but the compass pointed North and the GPS worked fine, so I am keeping it. I am a little skeptical of the non-calibration, but the Garmin folks said they would stand behind their product.
Pros
Works as advertized
Cons
Trouble calibrating North

Fast and Simple
September 8, 2021
The guys at Gun Dog Supply filled my order promptly! I love the the simplicity of the Garmin Pro 550 Plus. Training and tracking combined is perfect!. The distance it works are as advertised. Thanks!
Pros
Simplicity , ergonomics, battery life, vibrates when dog on point.
Cons
Would be nice to have a separate vibrate button instead of toggling back and forth with the dial.
By Mike

Garmin PRO 550 Plus is a winner
September 2, 2021
I have been using this training tool with my one year old Brittany for a couple of weeks. The versatility of using tone, vibration and stimulation makes this a great training tool. I can't wait to get her out in the field to test out the GPS tracking.
Pros
Versatility, battery life, weight
Cons
Price

Works as advertised but a little slow
June 17, 2021
I bought this collar for it's tracking ability. I usually run my dogs with beepers but having recently lost most of my hearing I had a really difficult time discerning the direction the beep was coming from.
This tracking collar solves that to a degree as it will give a distance and direction to the dog. While I've only had it a short while I believe it will help tremendously when hunting season arrives.
I've owned Tri-Tronics for decades and always like them, they do what they say and are robust. This Garmin version is no different.
The only con on it is that the 2.5 second updating is a bit slow as my dog outruns that. Meaning it it's always 2.5 seconds behind the dog - so if you have a fast big running dog it the distance and direction will be slightly behind the dog. Not that big of deal as it still gives a good indication if the dog is close or moving away. If the dog stops or is on point, the device buzzes you and can really hone into the dogs position within a few feet.
I do like the light on it, it's bright enough that you can see it in the darker woods which will also help locating a dog on point.
Also the independent tone button is really nice as you don't have to fiddle with the dial going between tone and shock as I have to on my current Tri-Tronics G3.
I also bought the holster for it and that works well. I also got the Garmin Fenix watch and can link it to the dog and see direction and distance on my wrist - I think that's going to be really nice not having to look at the controller when walking in on a point with gun in position but just look your wrist.
Pros
Robust
Typical Tri-Tronics quality
Independent tone button
Vibration Mode
Fairly accurate
Cons
Little slow on the update cycle of 2.5 seconds
Controller is bigger than most
Collar is also pretty big size
By Glen

Worked great
June 6, 2021
Simple, easy to use, effectively got my English Setter to hunt as a team rather than for himself!
Pros
Like the location finder with yardage. Also the on point alert is very helpful.
Cons
Finding a big enough pocket for the handset. Wish the antenna was less obtrusive.
By Mark

Great product but wish the antenna was shorter
April 30, 2021
Garmin 550 mini is just what I needed for my squirrel dog. Works great and simple to use. The only drawback is for smaller dogs the antenna is long and it aggravates my dog, she's only 18 pounds
Pros
Simple to use
Cons
Antenna to long

GARMIN PRO 550 PLUS
January 10, 2021
This collar is perfect for me and my big running GSP. It is simple to use with a little time in the hand.Knowing where and how far away he is could not be so simple.The stim on the collar can be fine tuned easily. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is it is a little slow on the GPS to react to fast moving dogs like mine
Pros
SIMPLE to use.It has everything needed to control and locate your dog.
Cons
It could be a little faster on feed back from GPS.
By Ron S.
Klamath Falls Or.
Great Product
January 1, 2021
Used during Pheasant season. Awesome for keeping track of your dog in thick cover. Easy to use.
Pros
Ease of use, even for a Tech Klutz.
Cons
Havn't figured the light yet other than that an awesome tool for keeping track of your best friend
By Matt

Great option for GPS collar without unnecessary extras
December 31, 2020
Haven't had a chance to actually use it in the field yet but around the yard it seems to work exactly as expected. Takes a bit to find signal but not excessively long. Provides the basics of what you need - where's the dog and is he on point or moving. The handheld does beep once when the dog stops moving but it's fairly quiet and I imagine in the field it may be easy to miss. Would be nice if beep was louder and more frequent when the dog stops moving but certainly not a deal breaker. Overall for me it was a great option that does it all without costing an arm and a leg.

Garmin TT15 broken in 3 months
December 28, 2020
I bought the PRO 550 plus and within 3 months of light use the collar will not take a charge. Garmin is requiring me to purchase a new one that they will ship to me and refund upon receipt of the broken collar. Garmin customer support leaves a lot to be desired especially considering the cost of one of these units. I have used tritronics products for over twenty years and have had great experience with them. This is the first Garmin/tritronics I have purchased and it is malfunctioning/broken within 4 months.
Pros
Great functionality for a retriever that doubles as a blood tracker.
Cons
Seems to have a battery/charging issue and only lasted 4 months. Probably was only charged a total of twenty times and always maintained and put away clean and dry.
