    Garmin Alpha 100 GPS Track and Train Handheld

    • Your dog won't get shocked even if it falls
    • Otherwise the system worked well, tracked the dog well, and the shock function was adequate, although not as much shock as my Dogtra unit, and occasionally my pointer would ignore it even at the highest setting.
    • I never in a million years would have thought that I would lose my dog in the forest
    • Lose that, and you've got a really expensive dog collar and a sub-par GPS unit
    • Dog got spooked by some loud fireworks and ran off into the woods in the dark.
    • This tracking system has worked wonder for our hyper overly wanting to work bird dog.
    • My dog likes to mill about the forest and hunt for squirrels and rodents while we hike.
    • So that is how I ended up running through the national forest, crying, in the rain, teeth chattering, hair sticking up every which way, dressed inappropriately in shorts and flip flops, screaming my dog's name until I was hoarse
    • At night, my dogs like to go out into the tall grass and take a nap while we're sitting around the camp fire
    • It does track the dogs well but it also has glitches sometimes which could be a problem
    • my dog had panicked from the change in routine and lack of direction from me, and now I had lost her in the woods
    • Otherwise the system worked well, tracked the dog well, and the shock function was adequate, although not as much shock as my Dogtra unit, and occasionally my pointer would ignore it even at the highest setting.
    • Don't make the mistake I did and think your super-solid-reliable dog could NEVER take off
    • I have accidentally brushed something and reprogrammed the buttons and shocked my dog instead of doing a tone.
    • My dog and I both love the freedom of off leash hiking
    • It was a horrible, gut-wrenching feeling to know that I had lost my dog and barely knew where I was, much less where she could be
    • We get a lot of use out of this collar; not just when the dogs are pheasant hunting but around the yard at home as well
    • My dogs are so happy and I feel safe that they aren't going to run out into the 55 MPH road in front of my house
    • But the dog doesn't seem uncomfortable with the shocker pins
    • If you can afford it and love your dogs I would highly recommend purchasing this unit
    • The device allows her not only to track our dog but also to correct him when he is too far away to be seen or heard.
    • This was a very good investment to keep my dogs safe and to assist in training them
    • This is a little on the pricey side but we all love our dogs so much it gives you peace of mind
