One hour of BASIC OBEDIENCE training
from Pro Trainer Robin MacFarlane.
The Garmin 550 PLUS was designed for folks that need a better e-collar with their GPS / E-collar combination system.
Every combo tracking and training system on the market up until now has been designed as a tracker first and a training collar second.
The 550 PLUS is the answer for folks that need an e-collar first. Based on the classic Tri-Tronics PRO 500 design, the PRO 550 PLUS is an e-collar that lets you raise and lower stimulation levels one-handed while never having to take your eyes off your dog. There is no other combination system on the market that has the ease of use of the PRO 550 PLUS.
The GPS tracking on the PRO 550 PLUS is a simplified version of the same tracking system that the Garmin ALPHA and ASTRO units use.
It will tell you the direction your dog is from you, how far away he is, and if he is moving or standing still.
The tracking screen is easy to read with a large directional arrow and easy to read numbers.
It offers everything most folks need without excessive and overcomplicated features.
While the tracking is simple, it performs just as well as other Garmin systems.
An option for folks that want both the advanced tracking features of the ALPHA and the ease of use of the PRO 550 PLUS handheld is to add the handheld only to the ALPHA system that you already run.
The 550 PLUS will work with all TT15X, TT15, and TT10 collars that have been on the market since the ALPHA was released.
Gun Dog Supply Exclusive: One Hour BASIC OBEDIENCE Ecollar Training DVD
$40 Value -- You get this FOR A PENNY when you buy this ecollar.
We are proud to announce that Professional Dog Trainer Robin MacFarlane is working with us! We just wrapped another video shoot, and are launching her latest DVD.
What's interesting about these videos is that Robin has never worked with these dogs before, and several younger dogs have never been trained on an ecollar.
First, Robin walks you through the basic obedience commands showing what proper form looks like.
Next, Robin shows how she introduces the ecollar to two of Steve's puppies, Jack & Tilly, and shows you how to find the right STIM level to communicate with your dog.
She then turns that into a lesson for your dog to recognize that STIM means pay attention to your handler and expands that into a basic recall.
Additional segments include teaching RECALL, PLACE, SIT, and HEEL.
The Garmin PRO 550 PLUS takes the best-in-class, one-handed dog training system of the PRO 550 and combines it with simple, at-a-glance GPS tracking. 18 levels of continuous and momentary stimulation, plus non-stimulating tone and vibration options let you customize your training for each dog. Track your dog from more than 2 miles away using the built-in display, and see when they are on point or have treed with pointing and treeing alerts. For even more dog tracking options, pair your PRO 550+ with your Garmin Fenix Watch or Garmin DriveTrack in-vehicle navigator.
AT-A-GLANCE DIRECTIONAL GPS DOG TRACKING: Easily see where your dog is and what he's doing with pointing and treeing alerts
LONG RANGE: 2-mile range with 2.5 second update rate gives you greater accuracy when tracking your dogs
ONE-HANDED, NO-LOOK OPERATION: Quickly switch between stimulation levels with the tactile dial so you can keep your eyes on your dog
BEACON LIGHTS: Remote controlled Beacon Lights help you locate your dog in low light

Intensity levels can be quickly adjusted, meaning you can instantly adjust intensity whenever distractions increase
18 intensity levels of STIM
Non-stimulating tone and vibration functions
Both STIM Types:
Continuous stimulation allows you to control the length of the correction based on how long you hold the button down
Momentary stimulation delivers a quick preset duration of stimulation (less than 1 second) for enforcing commands your dog already knows and for correcting behavior
Training with STIM:
Tactile dial with clicks between levels allows you to raise and lower the stimulation level by feel without ever having to take your eyes off your dog
Teach yardwork/obedience and enforce known commands with lower levels of stimulation
Use higher levels to stop unwanted chasing or to overcome strong distractions
Contact Points:
Insulated contact points ensure consistent and reliable stimulation in the water
Includes interchangeable contact points for long or short-coated dogs
Garmin PRO 550 PLUS MINI Range
Collar range is up to 2 miles which is ample for most dog training or hunting situations. Maximum range is based on "line of sight." This means that to get the full range out of a system there should be nothing between the transmitter and the receiver, and the terrain should be flat and open. This isn't going to happen in most places that we spend time with our dogs. The range on all of the systems that we carry will vary depending on training conditions, including weather, terrain, and the presence of cover.
Remember, too much range will never hurt, but too little could be a problem.

So glad I got this for our Kansas trip. Always knew where he was and he was always in range of the unit. I would have been a wreck without it.

Easy and simple to use ecollar with tracking
January 21, 2022
I have used this with my 6 month old GSP who loves to track and point in the dense underbrush in the woods of New England. The collar lets me know when she is stopped and on point or moving and what direction I need to follow. Couldn’t be happier.
Pros
Easy to understand and operate immediately.
Cons
Maybe too bulky.

Garmin 550 plus seems to be a good product.
March 24, 2021
I really like my tritronics 550 but wanted to try a gps system. The garmin 550 plus is just like it and I love that about the system.
Cons. Compared to the 550 collar the 550 plus gps collar is bulky. I wonder how the controller especially the screen is going to hold up. It does not seem to be built as solid as the 550. Prefer the longer charge time of the 550.
Pro. I like knowing where my dog is although my current dog does not really need that feature much but my next may.

Instant ease of mind. Easy to learn, works great

I got this unit mostly for gps function but also plan to train my field spaniel with the other functions. Unit works exactly as expected. Took less than 30 min to get familiar with the buttons, switches, calibration, and other functions. The unit seems very well thought out. Nothing feels awkward or difficult to get to. I have a 10 mo old (42 lb) Boykin spaniel. The mini fits great. 4 days in the field so far small game hunting in mixed hardwoods and grasslands. My dog bolted down scent trails twice and I was able to know exactly where he was and when he turned around to come back. Max distance tested so far was 350 yards. It’s easy to use, easy to read on the run, looks very sturdy. Very pleased overall.
