Tanith Wheeler Webboard User Reg: 11-04-2008 Posts: 572 Loc: Hampshire, England Offline	I keep seeing pictures of hunting dogs in the US with an e-collar around the neck and one around their neck. What is the theory behind using two e-collars?

Jeffrey Hill Webboard User Reg: 02-07-2011 Posts: 105 Loc: Offline	I asked my dad he said his is from garmin, he has a tritronics e-collar, although he he doesn't think he has hit a button on it in almost 5 years, with the garmin underneath. His hunting dog will literally spend all day playing in the woods on its own until they ring the bell outside for him to come back. He got it last year, I think he was afraid of his older dog deciding not to come home one day

Michael Bennett Webboard User Reg: 02-09-2011 Posts: 90 Loc: Blacksburg, VA Offline	Yea it could be one of the GPS collars like these: http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-Tracking-Bundle-Wireless-Transmitter/dp/B003SVQSSG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1307123742&sr=8-2 Or it could be a bark collar that for whatever reason they don't take off while hunting, though I am not sure if that is a good practice.

Tanith Wheeler Webboard User Reg: 11-04-2008 Posts: 572 Loc: Hampshire, England Offline	Sorry my inital post was confusing. There's an e-collar on the waist and one around the neck - I must have been drinking something good. And they are definately e-collars.

Mary K.Pope Webboard User Reg: 08-24-2005 Posts: 361 Loc: Northern California Offline	I have heard of using 2 E-collars. As you said, one is on the neck and the other on the waist or further down. I haven't heard about it recently, but I believe it was for exceptionally hard dogs and more commonly used by European trainers (protection?). Regarding the GPS collars, people do use 2 collars for that as well. I have heard that Garmin will be coming out with a new combined (E collar & GPS) in July. I believe that they can be used separately too. If interested, it is a 2011 Garmin Astro 320 Handheld Dog GPS.

If you need that much 'pressure' on a dog, you should go back to training basics. I've looked at the Garmin astro a few times. I'll have to check out the new one coming out, thanks for the heads up Tanith. http://skiersten1.wix.com/perfect-storm-k9

Almost all of them are from people who now feel much better about letting their untrained dog run around off leash.
