The item performs perfectly, and the tone and vibration modes are all that's required after experiencing 2 shocks. To ensure it wasn't too strong, my son tested the shock on his arm and found it to be acceptable; he did not see it as inhumane. The quality is excellent, and the videos were accurate. Definitely 5+ stars, highly recommended. Works great on a big dog.

With the amount of money spent on a shock collar, one would expect it to come with a clip or a lanyard. Apart from that, it functions well.

I needed to substitute a previous one that got misplaced during a relocation. The recharging process was quite fast, and it was simple to modify the stimulation depending on the dogs' reactions.

I am very pleased with this collar, which serves both as an E collar for training and a bark collar. It effectively detects throat vibrations when my dog barks, allowing it to automatically correct him during unnecessary barking sessions in the backyard. After just a few days of use, he significantly reduced his random barking, and we never had to exceed level 2. This collar allows me to focus on my dog while managing the remote and leash. It's straightforward to operate, and my dog trainer, who recommended several brands including Garmin, decided to get one himself after I tried this model. If you're new to e-collars, the instructions can be confusing, so I advise consulting a professional trainer before use.

Works wonderful, a perfect fit for our dog

I've utilized Garmin products for dog training for a long time. I misplaced the remote for a pro sport unit that I had for approximately 10 years. I decided to upgrade to the latest version. The initial unit I received from the Amazon seller was faulty. Garmin's customer service promptly addressed the issue. The new unit is essentially identical to what I had been using for around 10 years. The PT 10 collar appears slightly smaller than my old PT6, and my setter tolerates it well. I also bought the new clip-on carabiner accessory, so maybe I won't misplace this remote.

This is my third Garmin Collar. I have always had a positive experience with Garmin!! Excellent product. Dependable.

The collar functions well as long as the contacts can reach your dog's neck through their fur. Its user-friendly, allowing me to keep my hands in my pockets when its cold, and the remotes battery life is impressive. The collar also has a long-lasting battery, and the white LEDs are visible at night unless obstructed by fur. The mild vibration is effective for teaching the dog to wear the collar. However, caution is critical when adjusting the stimulation levels; my dog was unresponsive after I inadvertently raised the level too high. When using the remote, you cannot switch to bark collar mode without pressing the buttons multiple times, but its possible to activate it directly from the collar. I usually set it to level 3 for regular walks with my 8-month-old German Shepherd, increasing the level in high-distraction scenarios like passing cars or wildlife. Despite testing level 10 on myselfuncomfortable but not painfulIve never used it above level six on her. Although the remote sustained only minor cosmetic damage after a fall, I rated it four stars due to the lack of a belt clip and a cumbersome charger design. Despite some flaws in the accessories, the collar and remote are of good quality. The default collar is secure and waterproof but a bit tricky to put on. Overall, this device gives me the confidence to walk my dog off-leash without worry. Thank you, Garmin!

The charge is small and long-lasting, and it works well. It has greatly improved my dog's listening skills.

The quality of Garmin products is reflected in their price. This configuration offers excellent value and practical functionality. It is durable and strong, can be easily adjusted, and has an impressive battery life!

The product is sturdy and serves multiple purposes at the same time. The light is strong and convenient for finding my dog at night and enhancing safety during evening strolls. While many competitors offer more than 10 shock levels, the progression between these 10 levels is a sensible approach for training your dog. The distinct click between shock levels and the option to choose collars make sure that you apply the right training correction with the right collar every time. I am thoroughly impressed and satisfied with this product.

The sequence of three different alerts - Tone, Vibe, and then Shock - is beneficial. Establishing a routine using them in this sequence as you and your dog familiarize yourselves with the collar becomes second nature and easily recognizable to the dog in a short time (7 to 14 days). My dog pays attention to the tone and follows audible commands. The vibe mode almost always prompts him to return to me if the Tone doesn't succeed. In those rare instances when tone and vibe fail to capture his attention, particularly when another dog approaches, the shock and an audible COME command effectively bring him back to my side. The adjustable intensity settings, ranging from 1 to 10, are useful. My dog responds well at setting 2. The light is also a great feature when walking in the evening or early morning. It's essential for the collar to fit snugly. The collar should allow for two fingers to fit very snugly underneath it. This ensures that he can breathe and drink without restriction. Furthermore, frequent swimming in a pond or the ocean has not impacted the collar, and commands work as expected. My best friend is a 105 lb German Shepherd/Wolf hybrid, and he responds exceptionally well to this collar. I can rely on him to behave appropriately even among multiple animals at the dog park. Get yourself a neck lanyard and take your dog anywhere, almost hands-free. This is a fantastic collar training device!

The sports pro equipment is quite costly, but it offers a wide range of features and it always functions reliably. Additionally, its battery life is impressive as I can go for over 3 days without needing to recharge the collars, and the remote can last at least a week. My dogs respond very positively to the tone and vibration. I've trained them so that the tone means "come" and the vibration means "stop what you are doing, but there's no need to come to me." I rarely use the static feature, and only do so when necessary, primarily for safety reasons. I use two collars, and it's easy to switch between the two without needing to look at the remote.

We have an 8-month-old Labrador puppy named Willy, who has been breaking through our invisible fence system. Instead of investing in a new, stubborn dog fence, I decided to try an electronic collar to see if it would yield better results. After researching various options, I chose the Garmin Sport Pro due to its positive reviews and durability within my $200 budget. So far, Im pleased with its quality. Initially, Willy didnt feel anything, but after tightening the collar and switching from short to long pins, he started to notice a gentle correction at level two, which didnt cause any distress. Typically, level four works well amidst distractions like other dogs. The goal is to redirect his attention without scaring him, and Ive found five to be the maximum level I've needed. He now responds to commands with just a few beeps, letting him enjoy more freedom without a leash. During a recent walk, we celebrated his impressive self-control when he ignored some kids playing on a frozen pond, which is a significant achievement, as he used to rush over to them. Our approach focuses on praise rather than punishment, and I highly recommend this training tool.
