Tri-Tronics Flyway G3 EXP Training Collar

Recently bought this training collar to replace an older Dogtra unit. We bought this because of its expandability and due to the fact that we recently got another pup. This is a premium collar with a premium price. With that, I expected premium performance to the rated distances.

I happy to report that I received a product that was worth the price. The range is definitely the full 1 mile range (line of sight), which I cannot say as much for my old dogtra. That collar got a bit spotty (and caused inconsistent stimulation over distance). This collar provides good consistent stimulation over distance.

This collar system allows you to plug in the collar and remote to the same wall plug, and leave it there to fully charge and then it will just maintain the charge when full. This is a better feature than you might guess, because it is really terrible when you want to take the dogs out but forgot to charge there collars. This way, you just leave it plugged in and it is ready when you are.

Stimulation is consistent. On my previous collar, the stimulation was not always consistent. This would cause problems where the dog would cry out sometimes, and other times not feel the stimulation at all. NOT good for training. This collar delivers stimulation consistently every time.

Truly waterproof. TriTronics provides charging through external flat contacts. There is no rubber grommet to pull back to insert a plug. This is a great feature because when you dog decides to roll in the mud, or jump into a swamp you don't need to worry about mud infiltrating the plug and cleaning it out. The same holds true for the remote control.

Control is provided by nice, large buttons. There is one for continuous high stimulation for breaks, and 2 for low momentary stim, medium momentary stim. Hold the 2 momentaries and you get a high momentary stim. This allows you to quickly change stimulation levels for different dogs. There is a knob on the top for overall strength. I found the knob to be out of reach when I need it quickly. I don't need to change the knob setting normally, however. I thought this would have been more of a problem (the knob), but it turns out that my old unit was so inconsistent that I had to change the setting constantly. This unit is so consistent, I rarely have to change it.

I do one with the system the collars don't have D loops to hook up a leash. While I understand that the goal with this is to not NEED a leash, usually it is not an overnight thing and you need to leash them occasionally to get to the training area. The dog looks silly with 2 collars on because of this.

Overall I would buy this again, given the chance. Very good product.
