Garmin gps question

Post by gfedor »

Need input. I have sportdog 1800 ,2 collar setup, decent collar, never failed me. Thinking of upgradeing . I have a chance to get a 320, 2 collar setup, and keep my sportdog, or am I better off with the alpha? ,guys that run with both collrs on dog, is it too bulky for the thick briars?? Any feedback is appreciated

I have the dogtra 1804 and I run the tracker and the shocker together and never had any problems with dogs legs getting beat up or any problems with it being to bulky but I run 15" dogs

I use the 3225 and DC40 with out problems. I have three set up on the same collar and three are on their own collars,doesn't really make much difference on the dog. I like being able to not use the training collar when I want.

Gene, I have used the dc40 and g2 from tritronics on same collar.
For over a year.
Never had any issues. Dogs never got hung up.
Started having issues with shockers not working right.
So I just upgraded to alpha 4 dog system.
Only have 1 control and have to charge 1 set collars.
So it is easier.
But both systems do the same thing.
