early007 Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I have used older models of Tri Tronics Collars but I lost the transmitter last year. I'm thinking about buying a new collar/transmitter. Maybe the Sport 80C or the Field 90. Mostly I just want a collar that has a setting for a Tone, so I don't have to shock the dog every time I want to correct him. He has been conditioned to the tone and usually responds without the shock. Any suggestions or feedback from Tri-Tronics users?

Curly Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I have the Sport 60 which has tone, great unit and I've had no problems with it, also really like the smaller size of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irvingdog Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I never like the use of tone as a warning!!! It creates what I call the "****it-dog". sit,,,,sit.....sit.......SIT...........****IT!!!!!! SIT!!!!!The dog won't comply with the command until it hears ****it, because it knows you don't stand behind your words until ****it rolls across your tongue. The command should be enough. Failure to comply brings about negative pressure. Modifying the behavior removes the pressure.Compliance = Happiness.Tone does work great as a personal whistle between you and the dog. For my springer it means heal, for my pointer it means look back for a hand signal. I don't like to yell out to my dogs because we hunt late season Minnesota pheasants, and those birds don't live long by being stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gspman Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Hey Setterguy,What could you get a Dogtra 2002NCP (two dog with pager) for? Normally they are priced at $549. I'm assuming you probably can't quote the price on the board. You can email me at the email address on my profile. Thanks.gspman[This message has been edited by gspman (edited 09-10-2004).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duckbill Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 I have a pro100 and love it. I have used it to train my dog. Nowadays when that thing goes on he knows that it is time to do business and no more screwing around. I rarely have to bump him but the option of having it there makes life a lot easier.

setterguy Posted October 6, 2004 Share Posted October 6, 2004 Marine - man, I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you, I am extremely busy right now. I am in the irrigation business and its blow-out season. Only 600 left to do. I will try to make a point to get you some numbers tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
