I tried the search function first because I know this has been discussed many times before, but it's not working at the moment, sorry!

I have been wanting to upgrade my ecollar for a while now. I have a cheapo one-dog 300-yard range model that works fine... but I have two dogs & they can get 300 yards away in a split second! I consider it so useless that I loaned it out to my mom about 6 months ago. 

So, for Christmas I want to buy myself an ecollar set for the dogs. I've been looking at Tritronics & was wondering if anyone else has experience w/the Field 90 G3 EXP^®?

Or, does anyone have another suggestion? I want at least 1-mile range, waterproof, expandable for at least 2 dogs.

Thank you!

2nd what Bev said.. now that we have one... I can't imagine not having one. Knowing that at anytime your GSP may see a squirrel, chipmunk, bird and take off full tilt.

We also have been hiding behind trees and changing direction when working off leash. This works great, the look on her face when she realizes Dad isn't there and turns around SPRINTING back to where she last saw me is priceless. Joey, after a few weeks training will heel off leash almost perfectly with no correction. I've been working on whistling (or tone on ecollar)first, to which she responds about 80% of the time, if she doesn't I will nick after.

I want to stick with the whistle because sometimes she wont have the ecollar on, and its a lot less annoying than yelling "joeeeyy come" haha

I got the Sport Dog 1825 from gundogsupply.com for $289.95 it is the collar that the owner of the company recommends and I love it

it is on sale right now at gundogsupply.com for $289.95 and it has a ton of options for setting it up and it is good for at least 1 mile range and some claim over 2 miles on flat ground.

From Steve the owner....
The 1825 is listed as a one mile range system. While I have not range tested it in every terrain yet, we got a little over 2 1/2 miles out of it in North Dakota this fall in flat open terrain. Yep. 2 1/2 miles. We will be doing more tests with this, but it beat every other system we had in its category.


here is the write up from that website

You can customize your SportDOG SD-1825 to match your training preference. It comes out of the box set up in MODE-1 (an 8-level continuous + 8-level momentary stimulation one dog collar with a separate tone button), but it can easily be changed into 13 different modes with different button configurations. This allows you to customize your transmitter to your training needs. The wide range of stimulation levels and gradual increases between levels on the SD-1825 are particularly useful with sensitive dogs or breeds.

The SD-1825 features 1 mile of range, a slim profile collar receiver that ensures a perfect fit, and a compact transmitter that's easy to handle. You are also able to transform your one dog system into a two or three dog unit with the "Add-A-Dog" feature. And it's waterproof!

Modes include Continuous, Momentary, Tone, Vibration, Low Continuous-High Continuous, Low Momentary - High Momentary, 3 dog Mode featuring one button per dog (Continuous or Momentary based on the position of the toggle switch), tone with stimulation delay, +2 jump level, 6 dog mode with Continuous only (dogs 1-3 on toggle up, and dogs 4-6 on toggle down), and a programmable continuous hot button.
