  Steve Says: Garmin PRO 550The Pro 550 is a training collar only. If you are looking for a similar training system that also has GPS tracking, check out the Garmin Pro 550 PLUS.
The PRO 550 is the perfect training collar for folks looking for a system that has it all.Like the other two Pro Series collars, it has built in BEACON LIGHTS and a BARK LIMITER. Both Kinds of STIM: Gone are the days of having to pick between more momentary or more continuous. The PRO 550 has it all and at a substantially lower retail price. Tone and Vibration: The Garmin PRO 550 is the first Tri-Tronics tube unit to include vibration selectable from the transmitter with the V on the dial. More STIM levels: The PRO 550 is a 21 level training collar. The smooth transition between stimulation levels allows you to gradually increase stimulation and find the exact level that your dog needs. The three new levels at the top make sure you have enough top-end to train even the highest-intensity dogs.
The PRO 550 replaces the Field 90, Flyway Special, Pro 100, Pro 200, Pro 500 and the Upland Special.

Great For Retriever Training
July 31, 2020

Great Quality product
March 24, 2023
After adding a second dog I wanted a quality product that I could trust. Previously I had a different brand e-collar/trainer and it lost the lower stims. We also found that it was malfunctioning and giving stims randomly. After lots of research Garmin was my decision. I chose this particular model based on budget, versatility, reviews, range and quality. This model is easy to adapt to, has different level settings for the dogs. I like the fact you can use tone, vibration, and different stim levels.

This is our second collar. We wore the old one out with two hunting dogs. We now have a Spinone Italiano hunting dog and we are using the new Garmin 550.

So far so good
February 2, 2022
Haven't had this system for long but so far I like it for training. I don't use it when I'm guiding hunts because the controller is too big. I use the Pro Sport for that. I have trained several dogs with the pro sport but this one seems to have much more and better stimulation. Again I haven't had it very long so don't know how it will hold up for the long term but if it's anything like the Pro Sport then it will be good for years.

Great training collar
February 2, 2022
I love the Garmin Pro 550. All the options I need. I like that I can simply use the audible beep to get my dog's attention without shocking or buzzing him. I don't use the bark limiter feature. Tried it once and it ramped up too fast and gave my dog way too much stimulation and scared him more than made him stop barking. I only replaced my last 550 because we lost the handheld. Now I have two collars which I can use simultaneously with a single handset. I also love the running light

Consistency of Garmin.
February 8, 2026
The Garmin pro 550 delivers consistent and reliable corrections. The last several E collars I used from Dogtra were very inconsistent and unreliable and it was making training difficult. The garmin pro 550 has allowed me to deliver perfectly timed corrections at longer distances while maintaining stimulation Levels I needed to change the dogs behavior. My issue was with running longer blinds. A couple of my dogs were slow or blew me off on whistle sits at a distance. I was not getting reliable corrections with Dogtra. Sometimes the dogtra e collar would deliver the stimulation but sometimes it wouldn't. When I started using the Garmin pro 550 it dramatically increased my dog's learning curve at longer distances. The Garmin pro 550 has allowed my dog to understand whistle sits due to the reliable e collar stimulation at great distances.

Great product. Videos are a must. Even bought the whole set from Robin!!
December 13, 2024
This is a great product. I exchanged the first one I bought for this one. No hassles whatsoever. The product is tremendously enhanced by the availability of the free videos. I enjoyed them so much and they made such a difference that I bought the entire set from Robin even though I've been training the dog for quite some time now I still go back and watch them because I learned new things every time I do. This is made the golden doodle, a more well mannered member of the family. That's dead he still has things he can learn

I have used both Sport Dog and Dogtra in the past. All great stuff but the Pro 550 is far and away my favorite. The stim seems to be very consistent and the ability to increase or decrease the stim without having to look at the transmitter is huge. Excellent product.

Great Three-Dog System

While not a hunter nor field training our three large doodles, we've used e-collars to help keep track of everyone on our property.This is a meaningful upgrade vs. an older Delta Sport and is working well with our pack.

Great E-Collar
December 23, 2022
Great collar! Collars are nice and work as should. Handheld Reciever is well built, but not too heavy. Only issues I have is, I wish the beeper button could be used for vibrate instead of beeper. I train retrievers and do not use the beeper at all. I also keep bumping the toggle and changing the selected dog. I wish you could lock the dog in use so this wouldn't happen. Overall great product! GDS is second to none great company! Great people!! And customer service second to none!!!

Good unit, but...
December 17, 2022
The controller is fine, with lots of options for sending a message to the dog. But if I had to buy another unit, I would shop for one that has a wider collar, like the old Tri-Tronics. The new collar is 1/2 inch wide, whereas the old one was 3/4. The problem I am having is I have a hard charging dog and when she races to the bumper or bird she dips her head to pick up the bumper and sometimes the collar twists around. I have cinched it up tightly, but you can't choke the dog. Never had any problems with the 3/4 inch collar. Can't give it a higher rating because of the collar strap.

Overall great product but could use a few tweaks
December 2, 2022
So far very happy and overall easy to use. Product registration on garmin express was difficult to do but since this isn't a GPS device it is not necessary. The only major gripe I have is the small metal toggle switches. I live in a cold climate and have to wear heavy gloves while using this controller. The placement and design of the toggles get caught on my gloves and moved to different settings. This seems like a minor thing but it does have an impact upon cold weather use. This does not prevent me from using this and I would purchase again.

Best training collar
November 28, 2022
This E collar is the best I have tried. My dog trainer recommends it for all the clinics. It has been both easy to use and very effective. There are many levels to choose from as well as the beep and the vibrate. The quality is far better than others!

Excellent training tool
November 22, 2022
Really like this set-up for training our 6mo-old female Draaht. I know the "expert opinions" are mixed on using an e-collar for a dog her age, but she is a very smart and driven pup... and a family, indoor dog first day-in-day-out. With a 2yo toddler, having a good household canine "citizen" is a must. Tried to avoid a collar as long as possible with Tippet, but wish I would've listened to my inner-voice and got this on her sooner. Have used an older sportdog trainer on our 12yo wirehair for years, but the transmitter finally gave up the ghost this year. Had already made the investment into a tt15x / 200i system earlier this summer for hunting/camping with the two dogs (because anyone who's ever had a beloved family member and hunter wander off for a few hours knows how gut-wrenching it is), but using a tt15x in the house is OVERKILL. The 550 pro is perfect for daily use. Charge lasts a long time, light led function is surprisingly useful for morning/evening exercise as the days have gotten shorter, and the ergonomics of the remote are simple and highly functional - particularly for a two dog set-up . The bark-limiter functionality has also cut down on excessive crate-bark tremendously. I actually like the layout of the 550 pro so much that I'm considering phasing out the alpha 200i and picking up a 550 plus for primary use in the field with the tt15x. I would NEVER got back to my old sportdog now.Oh, and for what it's worth, the pup's house manners have improved tremendously. Saved a lot of spousal tension and my sanity.

ALL THE FEATURES I WAS INTERESTED IN
October 6, 2022
Please use the training video that accompanies this product - you will be doing your puppy / companion a great service. this product has all the features i was looking for in an ecollar, the decision maker for me was the auto bark feature. the ability to have that reinforcement for the puppy while i am away or at work has made a great difference. my puppy has responded positively because i was able to correct my training behavior through the video training guide, a very useful product.

The Best Could Use Some Improvement
July 5, 2022
Garmin got this one mostly right. They missed the mark on a few things, but for me, this is the best solution available. The things that should be changed, in order of priority.1. The collar selection toggle needs to be a different switch type. It is currently exactly the same switch as the mode selector. EASILY confused.2. Correction level increments are much too great from 2(barely perceivable) to 4(too hot to hold on to). 3. The charging port on the transmitter, with the rubber cover, needs to be redesigned. The charging connectors for the collars is excellent. Why not use the same style? The charging cable daisy-chain is a poor excuse for a proper system. Obviously done to control costs.4. The antenna needs to be replaceable.5. The Bark Limiter progressive correction algorithm needs to be the same as in the Sport Pro.I had to replace my Tri-Tronics Pro-100 2 dog system after 22 years because the Transmitter stopped working. It was a much higher quality unit(for its time)6. The tone button's rubber boot is cheesy and I feel will fail in short order.This unit, like most other things designed today, has a much shorter expected service life than its pre-Garmin Tri-Tronics predecessor. They got most of it right and still the best unit available for the money.
