Garmin Astro 430 Handheld: LinkYou can probably get it a little cheaper than at Ray Allen, but I like dealing with them. Phil +1 I use this unit for 2 dogs. Works great. Don’t buy one of those cheap units from Tractor Supply. They suck. Spend according to what your dogs means to you. The Astro 430 will get you to your pup.

I cannot comment of the GPS collars, but I used a shock collar on my Marxist brother to try and shock him back to reality. Much to my chagrin, and after months of training, I found that it didn't work.

Garmin Alpha, I've been using one for 8 years. My buddy got a new one, I think it has an In-Reach sat phone.

Gonna leave that other thread behind.
Need a GPS unit for at least one dog, almost certainly another in the future. Would like GPS tracking, correction, beeper, and a decent screen that works in the field.
Also, anyone use Apple tags on a pooch?
Gonna move on this asap, so would appreciate any input or recommendations.
Thanks all ... I have an apple tag on a damn cat that runs off for days at a time but out in the country it won't do any good - as I understand it, it has to connect to a bluetooth device , preferably an apple device in order to send location info, so it really for suburban/city I looked into GPS collars but I thought the monthly fee was too high, If it was only a couple of buck a month I'd do it, but every one I looked at was more than I thought the service was worth.
