Great and speedy service yet once again from Gun Dog Supply. I've hunted all over Europe and have just returned to the U.S. Again I purchased another Garmin Alpha 200 to keep track of my hard working dog.
Pros
Easy to use, product shipped fast and the ease and reliability of Garmin products are great.

A Must Have!!
September 6, 2022
I've been thinking of getting this unit for a while now. Finally pulled the trigger and purchased the unit with 2 T15 collars and I'm glad I did. Last September while Grouse hunting in Michigan, I lost my Drahthaar for about 20 min in the thicket. It was not fun. Now, I will not have to worry about that happening again. The A200 is awesome. Easy to configure and customize to your needs. I would recommend to anyone who plans on running their dogs in various environments.
Pros
Easy to configure and customize. The screen size is more than enough, even for those with less than 20/20 eyesight. Downloading is a breeze with it's built-in WiFi. The extra buttons is a must for quick access and if wearing gloves.
Cons
A little pricey but I think it's worth it. When you experience losing a dog for just a short time, you will appreciate a GPS tracker.

Garmin ALPHA 200 + Tracking E collar combo
August 16, 2022
The tracking, e-collar combo is great! Having the combo simplies training sessions. The Garmin works like other Garmins, the touch screen is nice. The e-collar settings took a little trial session again because they were so different from my other e-collar. Dogtra e-collar is 1-120 + vibe, where the Alpha 200 e-collar is 1-18. Very happy with the purchase
Pros
Garmin touch screen
Only need one collar
Cons
The e-collar settings took a little trial session again because they were so different from my other e-collar. Dogtra e-collar is 1-120 + vibe, where the Alpha 200 e-collar is 1-18.
Still wish Garmin would add a start and stop button so that when you got to the trail or area, you didn't have the device tracking you from home.

Easy to learn. Clear screen even for older eyes. Helpful in really understanding training activities.
April 10, 2025
Easy to set up. I found it useful to link to my computer for viewing after the hunt / training. Range is VERY good. Update speed is good.Although I did have an issue with the collar, it was immediately returned/replaced by Garmin without any hassle. I also have a Garmin watch, and there is a small app on the watch that syncs to the collar. As a result, I get a vibrate alert on my watch when dog is on point, not just the handheld. This is helpful when I am gunning and my spouse is handling. I do wish that Garmin would use the new USB-C rather than the older USB (two different) connectors.
Pros
Solid training and hunting device, especially for big running dogs or in high cover.
Cons
Old USB connection requires you keep separate cables / adapters. As a result, recharge times are fairly long. However, both collar and handheld do appear to hold a charge for a long time when not in use.

Does everything I need and more
January 19, 2025
Upgraded my two dog sport dog system to this Harmon alpha 200i and tt15x system, range is more than adequate for my upland hunting and battery life is top notch. Gun dog supply video reviews were super helpful as well. Couldn't be happier with my purchase, well worth the money, I can't lose my best friends.
Pros
Battery life, hand held size and ability to read the screen quickly. Customizable buttons super helpful.
Cons
Price?but you get what get what you pay for

New to collar training
June 4, 2024
I'm new to training a dog with a collar, after alot of years decided to get another hunting dog, nephew convinced me to get a collar to train. Learning curve with electronics, have only used a couple times so far I like as I can track the pup and know where he is.
Pros
After using only twice I like that I can find my dog easily. Training is an ongoing process.
Cons
As with any garmin product, learning how to use the device and programs are not self explanatory lots of how to ytube videos and lots of experimenting pup is only 6 months old, we're learning together

Great product
May 7, 2024
I'm a first time gun dog owner and have been reading and watching reviews on all types of e-collars and tracking products. I didn't want to buy a type of product twice so I decided to bite the bullet once and go all in once. I chose Garmin because the guys I hunt with use Garmin with their dogs and we can share dog tracking across the platform in addition to compatibility with watches and other devices. My family and I have only started using the product to start with training with our pup. So far it's been great. We chose gun dog supply because it had competitive pricing and is a small business here in the USA. We would recommend this product so far!

Need more dogs!
November 29, 2023
This is my first tracking collar and it's probably way more than I need but it's awesome! I have one pointing dog that I pheasant hunt for 15 weeks a year and I love the features for that use. The other reasons for the purchase are the navigation and safety features. I often travel and hike alone (with the dog) and cell service can be spotty. The safety features sold me. Being a data nerd, I love being able to see our activities on a map, knowing how far we've traveled, elevation and speed. I can see this being an excellent hiking tool. With multiple dog capabilities of this device, I do feel like I'm over-teched and under-dogged. Sound like a good excuse for another dog!
Pros
Great tool in the pheasant fields! My dog is probably thrilled to get rid of the bell around his neck. Pointing notification is reliable. Love the tracking data!
Cons
For me it's the learning curve. There are so many features to learn, it's time- consuming.

Good but miss my alpha 100
December 22, 2022
Caution for those that have the alpha 100 and like the way it functions (I have bird dogs). I was expecting similar functionality but I guess I didnt do enough research. 2 primary examples, on the alpha 100, I had each button assigned to a different collar which was perfect when running 2-3 dogs, on the alpha 200i you'll need to press a side button to go from dog to dog, so stimulation will be delayed. I'm still trying to figure out if I can get a page set so the buttons will represent different collars.Second example, on my alpha 100, I used battery save mode, so the screen would turn off after so many seconds, then when you wanted to see where your dog was you just touched the screen. On the alpha 200i, it has the same battery save mode, but when the screen turns off you have to press the power butt to get the screen to turn on. This doesnt work so well, and is almost impossible with gloves. So to save battery I've lowered the screen brightness and it stays on for the whole hunt, which consumes the battery pretty quick. You might get 10-12 hours going this route. So I ordered a second battery to help on multi day trips where there are no plug ins available to recharge (the cigarette chargers are to slow to recharge a battery and waste too much gas).On the positive side, the bigger screen is nice. So far with my pointers I have not lost communication, which happened from time to time with the alpha 100 in the mountains in AZ and NM.
Pros
Bigger screen is nice, tracking and communication seems to be better
Cons
See review for my 2 main cons

Love it! (so far)
December 16, 2022
I've only used it for one weekend of hunting pheasants but LOVE IT! I have a 1 1/2 year old GSP who likes to run big but still does an amazing job hunting. Was just using a training collar before and was stuck in the position of deciding when to zap him. Was he to far possibly chasing a deer or was he close, behind cover pointing at a bird? Now I know exactly what he is up to and have confidence when I correct him.
Pros
Nice big screen.
Cons
Seemed difficult at times for the touch screen with my leather gloves. There is a delay on location so just need to get used to it.

This combo is awesome, I used it on my tracking dogs and it's awesome.
Pros

Cons

Amazing unit
October 19, 2022
This thing has everything i need in one unit. I hunt wild chukar in the mountains and with this i can find my dog, see topographic maps, text the wife when i have zero cell service, and control the dog. All with just one device! When your hiking in the mountains it's always nice to bring less stuff to cut down on weight. The garmin alpha helps me do this and stay connected with the dog and with family. Also the ability to hit the SOS button to bring in the cavalry is a nice thing to have when your up in the rocks. Both the collar and controller are bigger than my old ones but for the extra features i believe it's well worth it. They are spendy but what's the cost ofLoosing your dog?
Pros
Features
Maps
SOS
Satellite texting
The amount of dogs you can save to one controller
Cons
Slightly larger than what I'm used to
Steep learning curve with all the features
