I am looking to buy a e-collar and have narrowed it down to two. The Dogtra 1800nc or the Tri-tronics 70 G2. I would appreciate any advice you could give me.

Thanks
Clint

Tri-tronics!!!

As far as I am concerned, there is only 1 good e-collar made. Buy a tritronics.

TRI-TRONICS---TRI- TRONICS--- TRI-TRONICS!!!!!

I am very happy with my Classic 70 G2 3 dog system. You may want to check out purchasing one from Lion Country Supply. They had the best deal when I got mine.

I have had a few different kinds including Tritronics, but I just bought the dogtra and love it. I really like just using the page,(vibration) without shocking, once you page the dog and he does not mind you, then you can nick( just a little shock) him, then if he or she still does not mind you, then comes the shock of his life.
My dogs have learned in a hurry to do what I tell them when I just page them. I am sold on the dogtra.

Good luck
Jim

Ive run a tritronics multi sport 2 dog system and it worked fine......what I didnt care for was the battery life in cold weather was terrible. I just picked up the Dogtra 4 dog system and I'm not happy with it at the moment at all. Ive had one collar go down and has to be sent away to be repaired. Dogtra's customer service sucks as well. I call with a problem I wanna talk to a technician not to a secretary who cant tell me anything other than send it in. The battery life in the cold seems to be much better than the tritronics was however and when the system works right I like it......but it isnt.

I know there are a lot of difference in opinions on shocking collars. I can tell you i run Tri Tronics for almost 20 years and they are a good product.
I changed to Dogtra approximatly 3 years ago and love them.
Nor the next time you have any problem with Dogtra's service give me a call or e-mail me and we will take care of thing.

I just bought a G2 classic 70 3 dog. the first time i used it the one collar didn't work. i wasn't to impressed with them right then,but the people at tritronics worked hard to make it right. they sent a replacement collar 2nd day air. so i'll have to see about the dependabilty (sp) but their service is very good.

Tri-tronics

I have a 6 dog Classic 70 G2, and like it real well.

It seems like you can't hardly run the batteries down at all. I have left them in the cold for 3 weeks, and run dogs 3-4 times a week, and they keep on going without charging.

I did notice that previous models did run down faster in the cold.

Tri-Tronics for me!

I've NEVER had a problem with my collars. Range seems very good. I like the new changes they've made on their system too.

Someone (wasn't me...long story) lost my transmitter to my 3 dog system, and after looking high and low I finally decided to order another one. The customer service at Tri-Tronics was exceptional, and I was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could replace the transmitter and the holster for under 200 bucks. I think I'll be sticking with what works.

Looks like I'll be the odd ball, but I'd go with Dogtra. I have two sets of the 2002 model and one 1804 set. No problems, great size, reliable. I use mine on a daily basis on beagles and squirrels dogs. Tritronics is a good brand as well. I don't think you could go wrong with either.

I HAVE USED TRITRONIC FOR A FEW YEARS .I BOUGHT A 2 DOS SET OF DOGTRA AND LIKED THEM SO MUCH THAT I SOLD MY TRI AND BOUGHT A 4 DOG SET OF DOGTRA. THEY ARE GERAT

I have been using a 4 dog Dogtra system for two years and like them a lot. I have never had better control over my hounds...
