One hour of BASIC OBEDIENCE training
from Pro Trainer Robin MacFarlane.
Delta XC is "Best bang for the buck."
The Garmin Delta XC is one of our NEW best-sellers because this is perfect for 95% of folks looking for a dog training collar, and at a great price point.
Extremely well made. Tri-tronics reliability with Garmin's sense of design. Garmin's first remote training system after purchasing Tri-Tronics gets some feature changes that fix a few issues that folks had with the original.
The Delta XC line adds both long and short contact points, a new stimulation pattern, options to bypass unused multidog features and rapid stimulation level changes if needed.
Features BOTH tone AND vibration. You can use tone as a warning or recall. Vibration works well for silent commands, and with older deaf or hard of hearing dogs.
Small collar/receiver comfortably fits a wide range of dogs from 8 lb. all the way up to 120 lb. dogs.
Small transmitter. Fits nicely in your hand.
Half-mile range works for most folks.
Garmin Delta XC features 18 levels of STIM which means you can hone in and fine tune the correction level that your dog responds to. Works for even the most sensitive dogs.
Multiple modes which means you can customize the button set-up to your preference of training style.
Each dog has an independent STIM level, which makes fast corrections easier.
All in all, the DELTA XC is a great system.
See the DELTA SPORT XC if you need a system with a BARK COLLAR built right in with 36 different STIM levels.
Bird dog folks should also take a look at the Garmin/Tri-tronics DELTA UPLAND XC which has a remote location BEEPER and a BARK COLLAR.
I really like the changes that Garmin has made in the DELTA XC line. They have taken one of our best selling collars and made it even better.

What's New
Rapidly increase or decrease the stimulation level:
Rapidly increase or decrease the stimulation level using the new side button feature. Just press and hold to increase multiple levels.
Set the number of dogs on your system:
The Delta XC Series gives you the option of having a one dog unit, a two dog unit or a three dog unit. If you are not running multiple dogs, you can remove this option and only have the dogs on the handheld that you actually have. You can always add the second and third dog options back to the handheld if you add additional dogs down the road.
Long and short contact points:
The original Delta collars came with short probes installed that were not removable or replaceable with long probes. The Delta XC comes with regular (short) probes installed but long probes are also included and can easily be swapped. These are the same probes used on the Gramin PRO units.
New stimulation pattern:
The original Delta units had a stimulation pattern that didn’t match anything that Tri-Tronics had used before. It was much lower on the top end and we ran across a number of dogs that it didn’t work with in high drive situations. To fix this issue, Garmin has made the DELTA XC stimulation pattern match the one in the Garmin PRO systems. Don’t take this to mean that this is a substantially "hotter" collar and it might be too strong for your dog. The low end is still very low, and the middle numbers are also the same. The top end is now what we expect out of a Tri-Tronics system and I don’t expect to see any issues with dogs blowing off the stimulation.
Modified side collar loops for a better fit:
The Delta XC Series has slightly modified collar strap loops that allow the receiver to fit better on dogs with larger necks. These modified loops allow the collar to open wider and place the contact points in a better position on the neck compared to the original Delta collar.
The Garmin Delta XC remote training collar is both simple and effective using proven Tri-Tronics technology. It features a simple, push-button design with an easy-to-read LCD display so you can correct your dog instantly, for a stronger connection between behavior and training.
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 / Tri-tronics Delta XC remote dog training system gives you more control with more simplicity and a 1/2 mile range. The handheld controller features a 3-button design with improved false-correction prevention (dog select lock) and an easy-to-read LCD display. The receiver collar features both long and short interchangeable contact points. Choose from 18 levels of continuous stimulation and 18 levels of momentary stimulation plus tone and vibration with 3 possible button configurations. Can be expanded up to 3 dogs with additional collars.
Interchangeable long and short stainless steel contact points for all breeds, all coat lengths
Waterproof transmitter and dog device (IPX7)
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in both the handheld and dog devices with approx. 60 hour run time
3/4 inch collar strap
One year warranty
Garmin Delta XC Batteries
Lithium Ion batteries
Two hour rapid charge system for the transmitter and collar
User-replaceable, rechargeable batteries in the collar and transmitter
Stimulation from the Garmin Delta XC
The Delta XC has multiple intensity levels, which allows you to choose the stimulation that is best for your dog
Intensity levels can be quickly adjusted, meaning you can instantly adjust intensity whenever distractions increase
Teach yardwork/obedience and enforce known commands with lower levels of stimulation
Use higher levels to stop unwanted chasing or to overcome strong distractions
18 levels of continuous or momentary stimulation, plus non-stimulating tone and vibration functions
Garmin Delta XC Range
Up to 1/2 mile range which is ample for off leash dog training or for hunting with medium range field dogs. Actual range depends on training conditions, including weather, terrain, presence of cover, etc.
This is a very versatile e-collar. Great for basic training. It's really nice that you can change the button settings to different commands to suit your needs. Also with two or three dogs on the transmitter you can save the stim levels for each dog so you don't have to adjust the level when you toggle between dogs. Also great range. 1/2 mile.
ProsVery affordable. Able to save stim levels between dogs
ConsIf you are use to a traditional transmitter set up, it might take a little getting use to.

Exceptional customer service

I purchsed the 2 dog Ecollar system and discovered that it really was not what I needed. I called and explained the issue to a very friendly, courteous staff member. She told me to send it back and refunded my money online almost immediately. Although I returned the item I was impressed with the prompt customer service and will certainly use Gun Dog Supply in the future and will recommend them to my friends

I likke this collar but....
October 31, 2020
The first 11 settings on this collar are almost nonexistent. My dog doesn't feel anything until I get to 12. After 12 the shock curve goes up exponentially. It's a little hard to find the sweet spot between to much and not enough. This is my second collar, and I do like the design a lot. It is very ergonomic and easy to use, but they do need to straighten out the stimulation pattern. My first one wasn't strong enough and was ineffective when my dog was in drive. They seemed to have corrected that, but the stim pattern still needs work.
ProsErgonomic, easy to use
ConsStimulation pattern needs work

We’ve been using Garmin Tri Tronic collars for many years with our field dogs. This was an upgrade purchase, and we’re pleased with the new system. I’m also pleased and grateful with the service and the focus on customers with Gun Dog Supply. It’s a real family business, and Steve and the staff extend that feeling to everyone. Great product, great service.

September 10, 2020
I made the mistake of purchasing an inexpensive $45 training collar on the internet. It was not well made and was unreliable in the stimulations it delivered. This made me lose my confidence as a dog owner/trainer.
Do yourself a favor and purchase a well made on like this Garmin Delta XC. It feels good in my hands, works consistently, and gives me the confidence I need to train my dog correctly.
The directions could have been a little better but all in all it's an A+ product.
Gun Dog Supply provided a great DVD on training your dog to the eCollar with this purchase. This was super helpful too.

Great collar
September 4, 2020
purchased this collar for our 10 month old rescue 2 weeks after he joined our family. He was not interested in treats and has a very high prey drive. Off leash walks were impossible as he would take off at the first fresh scent. Since we have been training with the garmin delta he is a different dog and works with us on our homestead. The remote and collar are both well built and fully waterproof(we live on a river and he swims daily, i have been swimming with the remote in my pocket), intuitive to use, and long lasting battery life, I have charged the remote twice since I started using it and charge the collar every other night or so even though it could probably last longer. (Led makes it easy to tell when it is getting low)
The options on the remote change the function of each button allowing you to access any three functions(tone, vibrate, momentary stim, continuous stim) at a time. Adjusting the intensity is easy with separate up and down buttons on the side. This makes it easy to step up a level if the dog is so focused he doesn't respond to your normal baseline.
My only minor gripes are that there is no way to access all 4 functions in one training mode, and that i wish I could turn the LED on the collar on from the remote to make keeping track of the dog easier in darkness but these are things I knew when I purchased so I'm just looking for things to put as a con. If i was buying again I might step up to the sport for bark limiter and the additional quarter mile range I have not used the multi collar functions.
ProsMultiple training modes and stim levels
Fully waterproof collar and remote
Long lasting batteries
intuitive to use
Raised center button-easy to find the right function without looking at your hand when you need to pay attention to the dog.
ConsCannot access all 4 stim options(tone, vibrate, momentary, continuous) without swapping between training modes because only 3 of the 4 are available in a training mode.

I am well pleased, and I would definitely recommend them to anyone who asks.

Changed and saved my girl’s life!
July 15, 2020
At 8 weeks, our girl was extremely owner aggressive. We would go many rounds a day with her snarling, lunging, and viscously biting me. I would grab her by the back of the neck, take her down on the floor, hold her down until she would submit, and as soon as she would get up, she would attack again. Vet told me if we cannot get a trainer for aggressive dogs, she would have to be euthanized. There were none for hours around our area. I had put up with the daily attacks for a month. A friend suggested the collar, felt she was worth it to try. When the collar came in, I read up on it and watched videos while it was charging. When it was ready, I put it on her and sure enough, did not take long before I had to use it (I already found the level she needed). She attempted 2 attacks that night. We woke up the next morning to a new girl. A very happy, calm, zero-stressed girl! She has not tried to attack since the first night of the collar, and that was 5 months ago! She has become the perfect girl, very well behaved. At our vets recommendation, we just got the girl a friend, A boy larger than her. We were delighted to learn he was trained with the exact collar we used. He is another very well behaved dog! I Have never had a problem training dogs before, never needed the collar, but this literally saved the life of my girl and possibly saved my life from a mauling.
ProsSafe
Effective
ConsHas been turned off during their play a couple of times

Review for Garmin Delta XC Remote Training Collar
October 14, 2018
My wife and I were very hesitant to go this route, but I actually tested the collar on my own skin (and neck at low levels!) and it really isn't the scary thing that the term "shock collar" tends to conjure up. We've have some major breakthroughs in a VERY short time using this collar. Our pup is 8 months old, Saint Pyrenees (Saint Bernard/Great Pyrenees hybrid). She's already a big girl with a mind of her own. This was definitely the way to go. Highly recommend, with proper use (we have a trainer working with us that recommended this and is very familiar with its use... the video is great as well).

October 12, 2018
I love that there are so many correction levels with this system. Just the beep is usually enough to deter my dog from whatever he is doing that he shouldn't be. The collar itself is very long but I don't want to cut it in case I need to use it on another dog at some point. An additional keeper would be great for the excess. I took one off another collar and put it on.

The Garmin Delta XC is easy to use and was very quick to set-up. The stimulation settings are easy to adjust and do drive a positive behavior response from my dog.
One challenge is my dog is a german shepherd and at times the collar doesn't always make a consistent contact and requires adjustment as he gets more active.

I am very pleased with this purchase. My dog is well trained, but recently began ignoring commands. I was skeptical at first, due to the size of my dog (135lbs), but on just level 2 he quickly obeys our commands even when running the fence line playing with the neighbor dog. Before we would have to drag him by his collar back into the house.

Review for Garmin Delta XC Remote Training Collar
September 20, 2016
Love the service, but the collar doesn't meet expectations. Even with the longer contacts, and a collar tightened to the point of choking, it still slips around the throat, meaning at times no contact when it's needed most, and a training moment is not only lost, but because of lack of consistency, may also have negative implications. It did not take long for mt dog to recognize if I didn't have the remote in my hand, nothing adverse was going to happen. Otherwise, a pretty good product, but because of lack of reliability, can't tell if it works at distance or not.
