E-collar purcahse


311Hemi

Recommended Posts

I am going to purcahse the Dogtra 1700 in the next day or so. I just can't decide whether I should get the one or two dog system. I don't really have the extra money for the two dog, but I will be getting a second pup in the next year or two so I would be forced to get a new e-collar setup in 1-2 years.

Any thoughts?

If you really work at it you might not even need a collar on the one you have it for now by the time you get another pup. Even so you can get a second collar all together at that time if needed. I have the Dogtra 1200 and like the product. I think you will be happy with it.

I agree, you may not need two collars... I have friends who switch off the collar on their dogs as needed. Usually the older dog needs it once or twice a trip, but the younger one needs it on more or less the entire time. I use a two dog system but rarely need to use it on either of my old timers... just more assurance for me when we are out...

Good Luck!

Something to consider - it only takes ONE TIME when the collar is on the "other" dog, and something terrible can happen. The extra $100 (or whatever it is) is a no-brainer to me when it can save hundreds in vet bills or the cost of replacing your dog.

Thats the only thing I am worried about, and one of the reasons I want the collar in the first place.

My pup now is 15 months right now, and so in a few years I will be running a 3 (maybe 4) year old and another 12+ month old. Neither old by any means, but hopefully trained good enough to not worry about it!! crazy.gif

Thanks....I think I will just do the Two now and be done with it.

Guys I am looking at buying a new e-collar this fall. Can anyone help me make a decision? I am trying to decide between a Tri Tronic and a Dogtra. I know all the features that I want: min 1/2 mile range, continiuos and momentary correction, tone and waterproof. This is for a 5 year old lab.

Everyone says that Tri Tronic is the best but to get the features that I want is something like $500. I have an Innoteck but after 4 years is it starting to fail.

Any help would be great.

It's a no brainer for me. I've owned Tri-Tronics for the last eight years and their service has been great and with the new addition of the EXP line of collars you have the option of buying a collar that is expandable to be a three dog system if you ever choose to do so. I will own the Pro 200 before duck opener.

I just ordered the Dogtra 1702NCP (two dog) for $399 (no tax or shipping). I wont be running 3 dogs so I have no worry about having to add a 3rd collar. It has the vibrate instead of tone (which I also wanted).....otherwise I think it has everything else your looking for. Both Tri tronics and Dogtra make good collars.

Have you considered other collars. SportDog makes some good collars that are expandable. I have the SportHunter 1800 and it expands to 3 dogs. Of course you have to purchase the extra collar/s, but you'd have the transmitter. You can hold off on purchasing the extra collar until you need it.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
