Dog Tracking Collars - Frequently Asked Questions

There are several questions that I ask a customer when they are looking at purchasing a tracking system that can help narrow the field pretty quick.

"How many dogs do you need to track at the same time?"

This will narrow down your choice really quick. If you only need to track two dogs at one time and you have no plans to add any dogs in the future, you really don't need to look at the Maxima 5000/25.

You could go with a Classic or a Maxima Duo

"Do you think you will want to track more in the future?"

If you only want to track two dogs now but may want to track more in the near future, any of the Maxima units will do. All of the Maxima units can be upgraded at the factory to any of the larger Maxima setups.

This means you can purchase a Maxima Duo today and upgrade it later to a Maxima 5000/25 when your needs change.

"Do you want to carry the receiver in the field?"

The Tracker units are built for this. They come a belt holster and are easy to keep on you. Larger systems like the Innotek RD 400 are designed to keep in a vehicle and be used for locating dogs after a hunt.

"How many different bands do you need?"

Most folks only need one, but if you like to be able to track all your friends dogs, you may want to look at the Maxima 5000/25. It will track all collars on the 216 - 220 bands, no matter the manufacturer or brand of the collar. All you have to know is the band and frequency and you can start tracking.

"Do you already own any tracking collars?"

If you have collars from older systems and want to use them with you new system, make sure to let us know. You need to make sure that we do not duplicate any of the collars that you have now and we need to make sure you have the bands that you need for you older collars.

"Do other people use tracking systems in your area?"

It is always good to know if other folks are running tracking collars in your area. You want to do everything you can to avoid duplicating the same band and frequency that other folks have in your general area. Running two identical collars in a ten mile radius will not cause either collar not to work, but it can be confusing and should be avoided if possible.

The number of dogs that you can track depends on the system that you purchase. We sell tracking systems that will track one dog and systems that will track up to 100 dogs individually. You cannot track multiple dogs at the same time on any system, but you can easily move from dog to dog on any system that we sell.

When selecting the correct combination of collars (transmitters) and the receiver that is right for you, you need to have an idea of how many dogs you are planning to run at the same time.

Before you decide which collar to buy, read our Dog Training Collars guide for dog product comparisons, features, reviews, & more information. Trouble with a barking dog? Steve loves his Tri-Tronics no bark collar. Check it out!

If this is your first visit to Gun Dog Supply, welcome to our online Yahoo! Store. -- Way back in 1997, we got the idea to sell on the WWW after shopping on eBay and Amazon and buying through other online catalogs. It's so much easier to offer more information and content with an online catalogue, rather than a 72-page mail order brochure. Customers enjoy reading our info and articles where we share our opinions on our top-rated products.

From time to time we feature our top-selling products with promotional pricing or free shipping. Most of the time, most regular products are sold below manufacturers' suggested retail prices (MSRP). We sometimes offer wholesale pricing to qualified dealers on certain items and some offers are consumer only, no-dealer purchasing. Some people are more interested in choosing the cheapest, clearance-priced items such as overstock through an outlet dealer. Make sure your purchases are through an AUTHORIZED Internet dealer, especially for electronic canine products for warranty support issues.

Buyers save when you shop online. Why surf the Web for discount codes, online promo codes, and coupons when you know we have every day low prices? Your satisfaction with your purchases is important to us. We use the Yahoo! Store Rating system and our consumer reports are very good. We offer product recommendations and stand behind our recommended & reviewed products with our 30-Day Money Back Guarantee. Comparing prices is important, but when you find the lowest, discounted item, you may find other things, too. Savings may vary. Discounts and coupon prices subject to change without notice.
