One hour of BASIC OBEDIENCE training
from Pro Trainer Robin MacFarlane.
We are really happy to have a new version of the BEST SELLING Tri-Tronics Sport series training collar back on the market.
The Sport series has been one of our best selling products since the late 1990's when the original Sportsman collars came out. Over time, the newer versions were incredibly popular, including the Sport 50, Sport 60, Sport 80, Sport Basic and Sport Combo.
Garmin based the design of the Sport PRO on the most popular version of the Tri-Tronics Sport collars -- the Sport Basic.
The Sport Basic was incredibly popular with many dog trainers because of it's ease of use and durable design. The choice of stimulation levels made it one of the best collars on the market, especially for folks looking for a high quality, no look, durable system with all of the reliability of the Tri-Tronics name.
Garmin's Sport PRO continues this history of simple innovation and design.
The Sport PRO is perfect for a wide range of dog folks looking for a tough, dependable unit that is designed for no-look, one-handed operation.
The Sport PRO is designed for folks looking for a unit that does not use an LCD Screen but has buttons, dials and toggle switches.
The Sport PRO features a small transmitter that is easy to hold and comfortable to use.
The Sport PRO has 10 levels of both momentary and continuous stimulation with tone and vibration options.
The Sport PRO has built-in Running Lights so your dog can easily be seen at night.
The Sport PRO also includes the latest version of Garmin's built-in "PRO Bark Limiter" bark collar to control nuisance barking.
The Sport PRO is a good choice for working with any breed of dog.
Ten intensity levels can be quickly adjusted with the dial on the side of the transmitter. Teach yardwork/obedience and enforce known commands with lower levels of stimulation. Use higher levels to stop unwanted chasing or to overcome strong distractions.
The Sport PRO is one of the only systems that has Tone and Vibration features that you can use without having to change the dial.
This allows you the option of teaching multiple non-stimulation commands that you can access quickly from the transmitter.
The Sport PRO uses the top of the line PRO collar.
This is the same collar that is used on the Garmin PRO 70 and PRO 550.
The Sport PRO has the built-in Bark Limiter just like the other Garmin PRO units.
Unlike the PRO units, the Sport has both an Autorise feature and a Direct Set option. I really prefer the Direct Set feature for tough barkers that need higher levels.
The Sport PRO is expandable.
Purchase a one dog system and add up to two additional dogs at any point in the future if your needs change. The Sport PRO uses a color coded 3 position toggle switch that allows you to move from dog to dog without having to look at the transmitter. The color positions on the handheld match the collar strap colors so you always know which dog is which.
Just like other PRO units, the Sport PRO has Running Lights or Beacon Lights on the collar.
These lights can be turned off and on remotely and are great for seeing your dog in the dark.
Another cool addition to the Sport PRO is the Garmin built-in Spine Mount.
This allows you the option of using several of Garmin's accessories with your Sport PRO handheld.
A few of our guys on staff have been testing the Sport PRO the last few weeks. Several are planning on switching to it as their main collar.
This is a GREAT collar and all of the new Garmin improvements make it even better.
I expect the Sport PRO to quickly become one of our best selling systems.
Hunts. Family pet. The collar has worked great with our dog. The range is excellent, and he's been very receptive to the stimulation.

Hunts. Family pet. This is a really good E-Collar. The fact that it has vibe and tone along with 10 different stimulation levels and the three dog capability is great, but the light feature is awesome and worth a little extra money compared to other models. The only drawback in my opinion is the hand held unit, or steering wheel as I call it, is a little bulky and heavy if you're used to the Sport Dog models as I am. But that's a small price to pay for the other features. I would recommend it.

Hunts. I had the Tri Tronics Flyway G2 before, which is similar to the highest end Garmin training collars. I was a little concerned about the durability of the smaller transmitter, but it has been great. For duck hunting the size does not matter, but for pheasant hunting the smaller transmitter is light enough to wear around your neck for easy access. I love all the new features, such as tone, vibe, lights, and built in bark collar. This is a great unit with a LOT of functionality for the price, and my concern about durability is long gone.

Family pet. It's almost magical! Our dog is a bit hard-headed and gets in a 'zone' where it's hard to get his attention, which is why we decided to try an e-collar. Did a bit of reading and called Steve at Gun Dog Supply, and he lead us in the right direction for us. We're thrilled with the ease and convenience of this product. We can switch from mode to mode without looking because of the design of the transmitter. Pup is now just over a year old, and we can actually consider training him to hunt. The battery life is fantastic too. Definitely recommend this product.

When I contacted gun dog about using e-collar on our 3 month old wild as can be. They said to wait till she was at least 6 months. That showed they really care about the customer and the dog. Now that our one dog is big enough we purchased the sport pro and love it. One of the best features is that all the buttons are labeled what they do, so I feel comfortable. Now myself or our kids aren't going to accidently push the wrong button.

Hunts. Family pet. Works great. I wasn't wild about the narrow collar, but after using it for several weeks I do not see any problem with the collar. I do like that the tone and vibration buttons are at the bottom of remote. Very easy to distinguish them from the two e-stimulus buttons. The headlights on the collar are neat, but for me are not necessary. If I could change anything I would make the center red/green light not as big or as bright. I would purchase this model again and also would be glad to give it the Black River Bloodline stamp of approval. Sincerely, D. R. Bozeman www.bozemanfarms.com Black River Ziva Black River Jep

Family pet. The Garmin Sport PRO is absolutely great for us and our pitbull application. We have a tough little gal to work with, so we needed something that was effective, reliable, but also easy to use. There are so many of these devices even if you do a lot of research, like I did, I still did not have a good understanding of what I needed. In my research, I noted that Gun Dog Supply had a serious amount of training info and short videos of Steve describing the products they sell. These videos are easy to watch, and I was able to narrow it down to the features that I needed for our dog breed and those that I just wanted. The Garmin Sport PRO had all, including the trusted Tri-Tronics technology that has been around for a very long time. The device I wanted needed to be simple to use and be built rugged for outdoor use. The information given by Steve in the videos enabled me to compare features as well as designs of both the collar and the hand held transmitter. In some devices, there are so many bells and whistles to use, which in reality are not going to be used correctly or even at all in my opinion. The Garmin Sport PRO has just the right balance of features, some of which are overkill, but overall the Garmin Sport Pro is really easy to setup and start working with it right out of the box. It also feels sturdy and handles well in your hand which is critical when your attention needs to be placed on the training. Thanks again to Steve and the great staff at GDS for fast friendly service and helping dog owners understand that we need training just as much, usually more, than they our dogs do! Thank you again.

Family pet. My husband and I love rescuing failed hunting hounds (gun shy, retired, etc). However, in order to keep our most recent addition safe from having her nose take her away, it became obvious we needed something to 'turn' her when she found a scent. I trained her that the beep function is a treat/positive clicker sound and it has worked perfectly. I love all the functions on this collar and especially that I've never needed to actually use any other function on it! Also excited about the LED function with a mostly black dog.

Hunts. Family pet. I was looking for something like the G3 Basic Sport Pro that recently gave out on me. It's been a gem and couldn't find anything like it. I was going to buy another G3 Basic off ebay when somehow I stumbled upon Gun Dog Supply. I'd seen your review on the Delta and read customer reviews on it, and it seemed like a step down from the G3. The Garmin/Tri-tronics Sport Pro is everything in the G3 and more. I appreciate the loudness of the beep and the extra features such as the light and bark limiter, but I honestly just use the basic tone and shock mode primarily and am very happy. Thanks for delivering promptly and for the extras that come with the it such as the DVD. Thanks Steve!

Family pet. This product is a game changer with my 6 month old Brittany. He had basic training but was starting to take off and I could not control him even with treats. The e-collar changed this quickly, in one day. I now have complete control over the dog and I rarely have to go over level 2. He responds 80% of the time with no reminder. I highly recommend this collar to anyone with a high energy dog that they want to work with off leash. This dog will also be used for hunting, but is mainly a pet.

Family pet. This was an upgrade from my 10 year old Tri-Tronics collar. WOW! It is awesome! They said you could use the handheld controller and not look at it and focus on your dog, and IT'S TRUE!!!! Every function is easy, and the different levels are effective for different distractions. Best training tool ever for my dog. I'm very happy and have an obedient happy dog :):)

Boxer. Family pet. Our boxer is 6 months old and before we got the Sport Pro we could not let her off leash as she would just take off. Now she comes when called, sits on command. This is all within two weeks of using the sport Pro. Usually I only need the vibrate mode to get her attention. The collar is simple to use and very effective. I would definitely recommend this collar to anyone with a dog with a attention problem.

Great training collar. I love how it doubles as a bark collar. The battery life seems to be very good. And I use the led lights on the collar much more than I thought I would when walking my dog early in the morning. I thought the tone button seemed to stick on after releasing at first, but after using it a bit, seems to be working fine now.

Hunts. Family pet. Great collar! Very easy to use remote. All the buttons are right where they need to be. We’ve used it in the field, the lake, and in the back yard. The smallest, yet one of the nicest features is the remote controlled light. It makes spotting our black lab in the dark a piece of cake. Just hit the button and there she is. Great product and great customer service. My order shipped right away, and they even threw in a few free extras.

"Perfect collar for upland or other hunting."
By: Greg From LA
Hunts. Perfect collar for upland or other hunting. The non-digital dial is ideal versus the read out version. If you are looking for a base model with all the features that basic hunting and training will require, this is the one to get. The tone and vibration buttons are easy to use and very handy, which means I very rarely use the stimulation as my dogs are conditioned to the tone and vibration.

"It was hard to pick from so many products, but Garmin was a name that carried a reputation for quality, and they had purchased a very known and respected company in Tri Tronics, so narrowed it down for me."
By: William Penrod From UT
Hunts. Family pet. It was hard to pick from so many products, but Garmin was a name that carried a reputation for quality, and they had purchased a very known and respected company in Tri Tronics, so narrowed it down for me. After reading the reviews on Gun Dog Supply I chose the Sport Pro for 3 main reasons: 1) no LED window, but a very positive and easy to use dial. Who's going to be able to look down at an LED when training the dog, and it's just some else to drain the battery and/or go wrong. 2) The light feature. At night the dog looks like he's running headlights, so he sees where he's going and I see where he is. 3) The 3/4 mile rating. My GSP runs fast and long. Glad to have the ability to make corrections when he's far away. The unit costs a tad more than I wanted to spend, but I was reminded of that old saying: Good equipment ain’t cheap, and cheap equipment ain’t good. So I made the best decision!

"After using it for a couple of months I have found that it is reliable and delivers everything as promised."
By: Westin Allen From LA
Labrador. Hunts. Competes. This is not my first collar but it is my first Garmin Tri Tronics brand collar. After using it for a couple of months I have found that it is reliable and delivers everything as promised. The LED lights are handy and the range of stimulation is excellent. Stimulation ranges from nothing to, why did I try that on myself. The only thing that bothers me is that the green LED flashes once in awhile when the unit is on and no stimulation is applied, not an issue during training for the most part (although I have worried that it was providing unwanted stimulation which after testing on myself it does not) in an early morning hunting situation though it could potentially flare your quarry if the collar is on at that time. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

"Really nice collar."
By: Scott Jones From NY
Family pet. Really nice collar. I switched over from a Dogtra that was just old.
Cons: I thought the light was a great idea (our black dog becomes invisible when you let him out at night), however it isn't as effective as I was hoping. When you put on the collar, the fur under his neck blocks the light when his head is up (he has lab length fur). When he has his head to the ground sniffing you can see it. I still make him wear one of the blinking collar lights when he goes out. Garmin- move the lights to the front of the collar- not the top. Would be perfect then.
Pros: Having the option for tone, vib then stim has made a great improvement in his response. The controller seems very durable (I wish it had a belt-clip). Range has been everything I'll need working around 15 acre property. Great product and looking for many years of use!

Blue lacey. Hunts. Family pet. The Garmin Tri-Tronics Sport PRO is everything you could ever need or ask from an E-collar. It has every option you could think of all with the capability of one handed, no look operation. I love the fact that each feature has its own button and the intensity has a dial instead of two extra buttons and an lcd screen I have to constantly look at. The pt10 collar it come with is the same collar as the top of the line garmin collars at the price of an entry level. The LED beacon lights have came in handy too many times to count in tracking and locating. I would highly recommend this product.

"This collar is amazing."
By: Erin Cramer From ID
Lab Mix. Family pet. This collar is amazing.
My husband and I struggled with our dog Dexter because he is very smart, and also very stubborn. There were moments where he would refuse to do a command even though we _knew_ with 100% certainty that he knew what we were asking him to do. He just chose not to. We were at a complete loss.
I asked for the collar for our anniversary gift. Best gift ever.
We watched the training DVD and Dex picked up everything immediately. It is everything we wanted and needed. Dex is happier now, and gets far more exercise now than he ever could before. We are happier, because we now have a dog that minds.
We continue to train with him 2x/day including several opportunities throughout the day while we are home. This is something that will forever be integrated into our daily routine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Hunts. Family pet. Competes. This is my first training collar and I'm so glad I bought it. It works great on my Brittany, I am able to take her out off lead, she will look for birds, but come in or change directions when I ask her too. I keep it on a very low setting and many times she will respond to just the vibration setting. It's worked so well for her that I purchased another collar for my crazy Boxer. Not only is this system great for taking your dog off lead, but also works well for teaching dogs not to jump on people ect. The training video that came with my order was very helpful in learning how to use it correctly, I am very happy with my purchase.

I trained my dog without the collar for 6 months, and was positive that my dog knew his commands, but was to high strung to pay attention all the time. He would ignore my commands if he wasn't on leash. With the e-collar my pup knows he is always within reach of discipline. Also, for the price, it's a perfect training device for me.

Family pet. Good product so far. Very well designed (ergonomically) for easy use without having to take your eye off your dog. Easy to charge and use. Like the positive clicks between settings and only having 10 settings, instead of having to guess where you are on a scale of 100 or whatever. Also has separate buttons for momentary or continuous correction, and you can hit either one without moving your thumb: use the joint for one, and the end of your thumb for the other. Has tone/vibrate/bark features as well. Haven't been able to test waterproof feature yet, but there's no charging port to leak water on the collar unit. We're using to reinforce known commands on a 130 pound dog who'd decided he didn't have to listen any more, and after 5 minutes in the back yard on the lowest setting, he's once again a model dog. Highly recommend. Wish we'd purchased sooner, Gun Dog Supply is great to deal with, with Amazon equivalent pricing.

By: BOB WALL From VA
A great product which, with the accompanying DVD, dispelled my wife's and my own collective fears of something that would administer a truly shocking if not brutal punishment for not being obedient. Used gently but firmly, it gets immediate results, especially with our congenitally deaf pup. I can recommend this product 100% as well as Gun Dog Supply.
Our problem with the charger was resolved with a new unit immediately shipped to us without the need to make a second credit card charge, in which credit is normally applied upon receipt of the old unit. Can you beat that? NO!!!!

Hunts. Family pet. This collar has been amazing. With it I was able to correct my dog's bad habits with remarkable ease. Friends that knew my dog when we first got him are shocked by how obedient he is now. I strongly encourage users to watch the Basic Obedience Ecollar Training video before using it. FYI, I rarely use the shock function. 99% of the correction has come from the tone and vibrate functions. This collar is very easy to use even for a complete novice. Very water proof. It has survived many many pond swims. It holds a charge very well, and it seems well built. I would absolutely recommend this collar to anyone looking for an ecollar.

Family pet. The electronics themselves work great and I am very happy with the purchase overall, but the collar that holds the device on my dog's neck uses a traditional buckle which can be difficult to put on when he is excited. It would be better with a clip so you don't have to determine correct sizing each time and don't have to thread the strap through the buckle each time while trying to hold the dog still. Minor complaint though. Overall very happy.

Hunts. Family pet. My Brittany is still a puppy. She is 0.+-24.5 months old. I haven't had the opportunity to use the collar out in the field yet, but we are using it indoors to help with jumping, biting and when she won't leave the older dog alone. Really enjoyed the video. I didn't want to hurt the dog, and the instruction on the video has some good advice. Results are pretty good. She is responding to our verbal commands with the correction included. Should be using it in the field in the next month or so. Thanks for the quick ship and advise. The video you have posted on the website is great, as the instruction book included with the collar is limited.

"Works really good so far."
By: Steve Rice From WV
Hunts. Works really good so far. Thought it might last a little longer between charges. But other than that it's a very nice collar. Seems to have good range and really like the vibrate feature . Thanks for the interest and following up on your product! If we need anything else we will be sure to contact you and your business!!

By: RICHARD HIXSON From WA
Hunts. I live in the country so I let my new puppy out to pee and poop in the mornings. It's getting darker now and he's black, so I turn on the LED lights and I can see where he's at. He knows what come means but as a puppy his attention span is short. I use the vibrate to get his attention when I say come. It seems to work for now. This is my first e-collar. It is user friendly and there are not a lot of buttons to get confused over. I would have given it a 5 but I don't have any experience with other collars.

Hunts. Family pet. Utilizing the 'built in' bark limiter is not what I expected. It seems to be an either/or proposition...bark limiter or correction collar. I do like the controller's flotation feature.

"Good battery life and well-built device."
By: Mark From MO
Good battery life and well-built device. Occasionally Bull-headed 6-yr old male lab responds well to collar. Having tone and vibration for correction prior to shock is an improvement over older collars he has worn. Well made. Happy so far.

By: Susan Ernst From VA
Family pet. I was hoping for more range, but given the tree density and hilly terrain where I live, the effective range went down to less than 1000 feet quite a bit less than the three-quarter mile advertised. That said, the unit operates well. I like the flexibility and especially the beacon, since I walk after dark.

Hunts. Unit is easy to use and effective. That being said, the battery life seems very poor. Even after an hour and half of limited use, the lower stimulation levels become non-existent and I have to turn up the stimulation quite a bit to get a response from my Springer.

Hunts. My Boykin Spaniel retriever chases deer and I bought the collar to stop him. It says the range is 3/4 mile but in the woods it does not have much range. I haven't measured the range but my feeling is maybe 200 yards, then it has no effect.

Customer Review #32648
By: TOM BROLLINI
Family pet. Competes. The biggest complaint is that the "60" hour run time is nowhere near what I get, which is around 32 to max 34.
Second, the plastic collar is very narrow and thinner compared to my Tritronics Sport 50. It is showing a crack on the edge and some rough spots, indicating it will tear in the semi-near future.
I also have to keep it up high or it will not stop my alpha dog from "aggressive behavior." He is in attack mode, but is nowhere near strong enough, after the start of aggression.
Granted, this is an ALPHA, ALPHA, male from East German other border protection lines, so it is very hard. When in drive, he is something else. But, I had hoped this would provide the needed stim and durability.
So, I know that my use is probably harder on the device since it's on 16 hours a day, but rarely is it used to stim since the verbal command is usually good to this well-trained dog - unless it is - not! Then it's not hot enough.
Should work well for about any other dog though!
So my grade is for me, not necessarily what it would be for you.

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 SPORT PRO is simple, compact and lightweight with a 3/4-mile range.

Insulated contact points ensure consistent and reliable stimulation in the water
Includes interchangeable contact points for long or short-coated dogs
Garmin SPORT PRO Range
3/4 mile range, which is ample for most dog training or for hunting with close-working field dogs. Maximum range is based on "line of sight." This means that to get the full range out of a system there should be nothing between the transmitter and the receiver, and the terrain should be flat and open. This isn't going to happen in most places that we spend time with our dogs. The range on all of the systems that we carry will vary depending on training conditions, including weather, terrain, and the presence of cover.
Remember, too much range will never hurt, but too little could be a problem.
