I do not like correcting dogs that I can't see.
Combining dog training collars and GPS tracking collars into a single system is a very powerful idea, but be careful! Some folks will make corrections solely based on what the screen says the dog is doing.
Using the Garmin ALPHA makes giving "blind" corrections safer than in other situations, but you need to remember that there always a short delay between what your dog is doing and what you see on the screen. The length of this delay is based on the update rate you select.
While that short delay isn't a big deal while tracking a dog, you MUST take that delay into account when you are making any correction based solely on what you see on the screen because your dog may have turned back or stopped misbehaving before the screen indicates that.
