Garmin PRO 550 PLUS Training + TT25 GPS Tracking Collar
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. Not available to Canadian addresses. This product is approved for use in the US only. Collar to handheld radio communication may be disabled in Europe and other prohibited areas.
![]() Steve Says: PRO 550 PLUS + TT25Garmin TT25 CollarsThere are several new features in these new collars, the first one being dynamic updates. In previous generations of collars, update rates were set to a standard set time. The new collars have standard set update rates, but they also offer the option of a dynamic update rate. In an effort to conserve battery life, the dynamic update rate will decrease the frequency of updates to the handheld when the dog is motionless. This extends the battery life, giving you up to 68 hours of battery from a single charge.The next new feature is multicolored running lights. On previous models, we've had running lights that you could control from the handheld, which allowed you to turn them on and off if your dogs were running, especially in low light conditions or at night. These new collars now give you seven different color options so you can identify your dogs in the dark by changing their light color. These new Garmin collars allow you to change the flex bands. In the past, the flex band contained a wire going to the GPS antenna. In these new T-series collars, the flex band can be easily switched out in the field by removing just two screws, decreasing downtime. The multicolored status light is a major upgrade on these new T-series collars. The status light flashes in the center of the collar when it's turned on, and the color indicates what your collar is doing:
The TT25 comes in one standard size and is smaller than previous regular collars. (Garmin does not offer MINI and regular sizes of these.) They are sized so they will fit most dogs really well. It's not so small that it's going to be a problem on a large dog, yet it's not so big it's going to cause a problem with smaller beagles. Automatic WiFi collar updates can be configured with your handheld if you use your TT25 with the ALPHA 300 or 200 series, or via Garmin Express if you use the PRO 550 PLUS. You can sync the collars to your home WiFi network, and when you put the collars on the charger, they will go online and check to see if there are any updates. Then, they automatically install the new updates. This will save you a lot of time and keep you from wondering if there's a new update. Garmin PRO 550 PLUS HandheldThe 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.
The 550 PLUS will work with all TT25, TT15X, TT15, and TT10 collars that have been on the market since the ALPHA was released. Steve Snell Accessories for your PRO 550 PLUS + TT25

Great training aid!
January 14, 2025
The Garmin plus 550 with the Tt15x collar is all that Garmin said it was. Easy to set up and easy to use. My dog cain't wait to have the collar put on and get to work. He went from watching him run in the woods to a good hunting companion. Thank you Gun Dog Supply and Garmin.

Gundog supply was a great resource to both educate myself on what product would work for me and ordering. It was the best price I found and I recieved the item quicker than expected. I've found this website to be the go to place for supplies for my new upland pup.

Garmin Pro 550 Plus & TT15X are a Game Changer
December 16, 2024
I recently purchased the Garmin Pro 550 Plus and TT15X for my Brittany and the system is a game changer! I had used another brand's training and beeper collar, but the Pro 550 Plus has the functionality of a training collar for quick correction and provides immediate location data without listening for the beep. The receiver vibrates when she's on point, and gives me her exact location. Finding my dog in heavy cover when she's on point without the beeping that can spook late-season roosters has meant more birds in my game bag. It's easy to set up, easy to use, and just what I was looking for. The added bonus is a quiet hunt in the field, enjoying time with my friends and my dog.

Top notch collar.
January 15, 2026
Great package deal. The frustration of losing your dog and spending half the day looking for him convinced me to spend the money on this collar. Worth every penny IMO. GPS is a game changeAlso,the company is great to work with. Good family owned business. That's why I purchased from Gun dog supply! Exceptional service, thanks for helping me out.

good but slow access to collar
December 24, 2025
garmin handheld takes a normal amount of time to acquire gps signals however it takes forever to connect gps signal of collar. Holds signal well once connected. I would suggest getting a cup of coffee while waiting for handheld and collar to communicate with gps signal. tone, vibrate side of collar access is virtually immediate

We hunt some thick stuff up here in Montana and knowing where my dog is when out of sight is a real advantage .My only regret is I didn't get one of these when I got my lab to start with, very easy to use and her response to the tone feature is much better on this model than the lower priced one I previously was using. I do wish that a good quality lanyard was included .

Gave me the confidence to let my dog roam and hunt
November 17, 2025
I just purchased this unit with enough time to figure it out and then hunt for 6 consecutive days on both waterfowl and upland game. I was used to the old Tri-Tronics devices and this worked about the same when it came to the training part. My dog figured out the beep and I rarely had to move to anything else unless she was really distracted. The GPS feature is enough to let you know where the dog is, but at times it was off in both direction and distance. I calibrated the handheld each day and sometimes multiple times when I saw it was off. Several times the north indicator was off as well. All that said, I get how GPS works and for what I needed, it worked well. Not perfect. Just well. I could tell if my dog was ranging away or back toward me and in general where she was. She is a 13 month old lab and did a great job on her first hunting with 5-6 duck retrieves each day and multiple pheasants flushed each day. In my research, this was the best GPS and Training collar for the price. I am not a fan of the wire antenna on it, but it is what it is, and it does work well.

Happy with the Garmin PRO 550 Plus
November 5, 2025
We adopted a young Plott Hound and needed a new collar to replace an older training-only collar we used with our previous Walker. The old collar did not have GPS tracking capabilities, and that was something I really wanted in a new one. I did a lot of reading and research on many different brands and models, along with cost vs. features. The Garmin Pro-550 Plus checked all the boxes for what I was looking for, and the videos and reviews provided on the website were absolutely wonderful.Having had the Pro-550 Plus and TT25 collar for a while now, I am very happy with it. Setting it up was not too much of a hassle and once the devices are paired, communication between the handheld and collar has been flawless so far. The controls for correction are easy to use and adjust. For the GPS/tracking side, it is a simple tracker with a directional arrow to follow. Acquiring GPS location is sometimes fast and sometimes takes a few minutes. Direction and distance are not 100-percent accurate and can bounce around quite a bit, but good enough to locate my dog easily. Overall, I am very happy with the Garmin Pro-550 Plus and TT25 collar combination.

First trip out was South Dakota pheasant hunting with a group of ten. The ability to know where your dog was at all times is fantastic. Being able to tell the other guys my dog was on point near them was fantastic. The thick cover that makes the dog disappear within feet, is revealed with the garmin pro 550+ Best purchase I've made for the security of my dog. No more yelling for a dog you can't see in the thick cover.

Works perfectly, instructions need improvement
October 23, 2025
The decision to buy the PRO 550 Plus and TT25 was a good one. I did my research, every feature of the product works perfectly, and Gun Dog Supply answered a couple of questions very quickly. All in all, this was a good purchase.Garmin's instructions are severely lacking. Having never used a device like this, it took me days of trying to find a tutorial without success, and then another couple of days of experimenting to learn how to make it all work finally.

Exactly what I was looking for

I settled on this unit after hours of research, and talking with friends that have used many various makes and models. Most influential was Steve's Gundog Supply video. 5 stars for both the Garmin unit and Gundog Supply for ease of purchase and excellent customer service.

Just enough
August 16, 2025
When training, timing is so important.With this set up , I can concentrate on training/ correcting my dog without the distraction of dealing with more information and controls than I need.I can easily switch between modes and multiple collars. My dog hunts fairly close so I don't need the mapping feature.But it is handy knowing how far and which direction he's working when he's out of sight. Also alerts when he's on point.

Peace of mind
February 21, 2025
I traded up for a 550 to the plus for the tracking capability. It's a little slow to update on the position of your dog is moving fast but it will keep you close enough. I use it with a waterfowl retriever. It just gives me piece of mind if I let my dog chase a cripple out of sight when hunting the timber or other heavy cover. A long time ago a hunting partner lost his dog that way. I see some people complaining about the antenna length. I run the antenna through the collar buckle that keeps it from flopping around. My only complaint is that the time button isn't loud enough. I use the tone to call my dog back in at long distances. If he is running in water he don't hear it.

This combo is a perfect, no frills, gps collar for my dog. When out hunting birds I wouldn't have time to look at a screen with a map...just direction and distance is all I need. The handheld device also tells me when my dog is on point. I would recommend this product and would recommend Gun Dog Supply.

Simple and reliable
June 16, 2024
This replaces another collar that required a smart phone app to monitor and send corrections making it difficult to send quick corrections. The 550 plus has everything I need right at my fingertips for a quick correction plus a simple screen with GPS direction and distance to my dog. The correction buttons took some getting used to since they are not labeled and the instructions are poor. However, Garmin support was great and they sent me an email with better instructions on what each button does, specifically on how to achieve high, medium, and low correction for each dial position.

Generic manual doesn't help operate
November 15, 2023
Manual and YouTube shows no detail. I'm left to guess. When I first operated I didn't know you don't have to pair collar each time. Nothing tells us about how to turn on controller, long press on switch, sort press, momentary switch? So, you don't know when to stop pressing button. Needs idiots guide, but I guess it's too much to ask idiots to write that.

Not what I hoped for

I had hoped that the tracking would be a little more accurate between the Pro 550 plus and tracking collar. The TT25 is too large for my small French Brittany. Hoping Garmin brings back the TT15

Great simple GPS/training collar
November 19, 2022
Started off rough as the GPS didn't seem to give accurate distance. The tech support at Gun Dog was excellent! Turned out the handheld and collar needed a software update which was simple. Took my GSP out hunting and the collar/GPS worked perfect.

It works! Dogs position relative to mine and movements easliy and quickly assessed. Not perfect but definitely affective. Must have or I would be concerned about the whereabouts of my 8 month old Brittiny hunting dog even with the bells around his neck. The video is a plus. Overall 4.5.

Perfect for my needs
August 26, 2022
I bought this gps unit/ collar in anticipation of a hunting trip out of state. However in using it for a few weeks just working the dog in cover, it really gives me peace of mind. I can't always see the dog in heavy cover. Or hear her, despite paging her. Finally I can tell at a glance her distance and direction. I only gave four stars because it's only been a few weeks and certainly not an inexpensive product, so I expect longevity too.Would definitely recommend.

Works great once you figure it out
June 15, 2022
Wish it came with a printed copy of the manual. It would be helpful to learn how to use it since this is the first training and/or gps collar that I have ever used. Where I hunt and train there is no cell service to look up the manual. The collar itself works great for my pointing dog. It gives me great peace of mind when out in the field. Other than that it is a great collar. Wish it came with a lanyard, I ended up making one.
