I have zero pointing dog experience but I used a "shock" collar with the vibrator feature on my Boykin Spaniel for over ten years. She went deaf at a very young age. I trained her to sit when the collar vibrated. It actually made for some very quiet and relaxing hunts. Good luck

Fighting same problem with my GSP. Have taught him that the vibration replaces beep and to circle back when he feels it.
