Can you use the correction part of the collar for the 7 miles as well or only the tracker?

I've had no issues with distance. I've never tested it at the full listed 7-8 miles, but I have used it accidentally at 5.5 miles.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar

the collar is effective when used properly under proper training instruction. I would highly recommend getting some training prior to using an ecollar as the majority of individuals do not use it properly and/or effectively

you certainly can use them, however when you look up the moment trackir cannot see the tracking points it will stop moving. its just a better idea if you got a hat.

U can use device on small dog. The collar does come off we're u can put it on your own collar.

Julie, we found the same thing with our collars. Didn't take us long to learn that you have to sync the collars every time they are charged. Not sure why they are designed that way but it wasn't a real big deal to us.

A new collar and transmitter will work, you'll simply have to re-sync the units.

Yes, you can buy additional collars, flags, and wire separately. As long as the collar is made for that system there is nothing to do, it will automatically work (other than adding batteries and changing the settings to provide the correct level of correction). I bought a kit that came with two collars, but the second was in it's own package, not part of the original box. You can have as many collars as you need, so you can have several dogs on the system!

The collar does not work automatically you have to watch your dog and make corrections.

Ooooh. I don't know since I only have one. But you would think that the remote control would be calibrated to the specific collar. Good luck.

As you may know, there is a new model nearly ready for release, so this may change at that time, but for now as long as your dog is away from the base station (beyond the "close to base" area) you can simply restart the tracking command from your cellphone and it will work for another 15 minutes or until your dog (or at least the collar) re-enters the safe zone

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

The transmitter can easily be moved with the power and field wire plugged back into the transmitter within a minute assuming you have set both locations to allow for it. Location can alter the signal in the field wire so test the collar before putting on a pet for use.

Just out of curiosity, Kendall, did you have the boundary width on the transmitter set to its maximum? And how about the correction level on the collars? The Stubborn Dog containment system transmitter may be a bit less powerful than some of the other Petsafe transmitters. Maybe one solution ($ though) would be to get a more powerful transmitter that would allow for a wider boundary, and then to use the higher correction levels available on the collar.

The thicker the terrain the shorter the distance of tracking. The alpha can track a lot farther and with less false readings when compared to a telemetry unit. I think if you let your dogs get as far out as the alpha would allow (miles) Then you had better get moving and only one collar for the 650 price and I believe the collar would be a tt10. Best and easiest system available and don't let your dogs get that far out. You are asking for trouble in my opinion. Dave

Paul, I don't know. I can say that I have used this system with same collars for a year and have been very pleased with the performance thus far. Good luck!

I don't know the company's entire product line, but if you think you need a training collar to correct that behavior, this collar would suit that purpose. I know that the company offers collars that provide a longer transmission distance, but you wouldn't seem to need something like that.
