Dog Tracking Collars, Radio Telemetry Collars & Systems Buyers' Guide by STEVE SNELL

Picking the Right Dog Tracking System for You & Your Dogs

Dog tracking collars are used by all types of folks: upland bird hunters, houndsmen, beaglers, coon hunters, field trial (bird dogs) and for coon hunting, bear hunting, lion hunting, and pig/hog hunting.

When you can't see your dogs due to terrain, cover or distance, radio telemetry Dog tracking collars provide an effective means of keeping "track" of multiple dogs

Tracking collars are also useful where you can't use beeper collars or dog bells.

Dog tracking collars enable the handler to quickly determine the location of one dog at a time.

Certain dog tracking systems also allow the dog handler to know what the dog is doing by using certain behavior systems that are part of the collar. You can tell if a dog is moving or has stopped, if a dog is barking, or if he has treed an animal.

Dog Tracking Systems are also effective in locating dogs that are lost.
