For those of you with E collars, just wondering what range you bought. Ours are sold in metres, so seem to be 250, 300 and 400m. which is a range of up to half a mile. Not sure what distance is best, so any advice appreciated.

I got a Tritronics with a range of 1 mile. I hike in the mountains in Colorado, so I was looking for the range and one that had a good reputation in mountainous terrain. I have been extremely happy with mine.

Dogtra T&B, 1 mile range.....never know when you may need it hunting!! I hunt a lot of very hilly areas, think the extra range gives you "more" even if dog is not a mile away, my Innoteks didnt work well in areas like this, mind you, had them 12 yrs ago. (needed fixed a lot also, the Dogtra has held up well with hunting & water work)

I have the Tritronics G2 Pro 100. 1 mile range. The range is cut shorter by weather, terrain and vegetation. Also, these dogs can eat up a mile really fast. I would not consider anything under 1 mile. If I remember correctly 1 mile is 1600 meters.
