Electric Dog Training & GPS Collars
E-Collars & GPS Dog Tracking Systems from Garmin, Dogtra, SportDog & More
Whether you're reinforcing commands on a young dog in the yard, handling a finished gun dog from horseback at a field trial, or just making sure your independent-minded setter comes home at the end of the day — the right e-collar or GPS system makes all the difference. Dogs Unlimited has carried electronic training and GPS collar systems long enough to know which brands hold up through a hard season and which ones don't. You'll find Garmin, Dogtra, SportDog, DT Systems, and E-Collar Technologies — the brands serious dog people actually argue about around the tailgate. If you're not sure which system fits your dog and how you hunt, call us. Matching the right collar to the right handler and the right dog is a conversation we've been having for a long time and we know what we're talking about.
Choosing the right system for your dogs
Start by deciding if the priority is remote training, GPS tracking, or a GPS-enabled system that handles both jobs. For close work and steadying drills, an electronic dog training collar setup keeps timing clean and corrections consistent. For wide-running dogs, a GPS collar system helps you confirm location and movement without guessing. If you need yard-to-field boundaries, a pet containment option keeps rules consistent at home and in training. When noise matters, a beeper collar can help you keep tabs without staring at a handheld.
Electric training and GPS collar FAQs
What’s the difference between remote training and GPS tracking collars?
Remote training collars deliver electronic dog training cues, while GPS collar systems show a dog’s location. Some GPS-enabled systems combine both so training control and tracking live in one setup.
When should I choose a beeper collar instead of GPS?
A beeper collar makes sense when you want an audible way to locate a dog in cover without relying on a map screen. A GPS tracking collar makes more sense when distance or terrain can hide a dog well beyond hearing.
How do no bark collars fit into a training program?
No bark collars are used to address nuisance barking when consistent correction timing is needed without handling the dog every time. No bark collars should be chosen with the same care as any electronic collar for dependable use.
What is pet containment and when is it useful?
Pet containment systems set a boundary so a dog learns where it can and cannot go. Pet containment is most useful when you need consistent yard rules that support obedience work between hunts.
I run multiple dogs—what should I look for in a collar system?
A multi-dog collar system should let you manage separate dogs without confusion and keep controls simple under pressure. A GPS-enabled system can also help you confirm each dog’s position when dogs split up in heavy cover.
What’s the difference between an e-collar and an electronic dog training collar?
An e-collar is a common shorthand term for an electronic dog training collar. An electronic dog training collar setup typically includes a handheld transmitter and a receiver collar.
