Anyone have any experience running a TT™ 15X Dog Collar on a duck dog? It says it’s water proof to 1 atm. While I’m pretty sure my dog won’t go down to 30 feet under the water not sure how long that will hold up.

I’ve had the Garmin sport pro for my dog for 3 years and would buy it again.

Garmin makes quality products. I wouldn’t hesitate to take their word on their rating. I have never heard a complaint about their collars holding up to water.

They make highly reliable water proof watches and GPS/chart plotters as well.

I run garmin gps collars on my shorthairs and have never had any issues with water in all of their hunting activities

Garmin pro 550 here. I love it and I have dropped the transmitter in water. It floated for about 10 minutes before I noticed it wasn’t on my lanyard. It still works great.

I bought one not sport dog lower quality zero issues. Even hunted this years freeze with it, did not have to use it. Off Amazon transformed my lab into a retrieving machine downvote away shock collars work !

How did the collar turn the dog to a retrieving machine?

Before she would take ducks to bank and chew on them and not bring them to blind. Since the collar will bring them to me in boat blind. If she knows collar is not on retrieving tennis balls will not drop the ball once on its automatically dropped. She gets excited now upon seeing shock collar knowing she is going hunting. Been total game changer for my chocolate.

Don't worry about water. I have a ~ 8 year old garmin alpha that's lived its whole life in neck deep water on coon dogs and tracking dogs and still works great. It's top notch stuff.

Did you send her to a school or train her yourself?
Did you force fetch her?

I use a Dogtra 1900s black edition. Works great for my dog and she hunts 40+ times a year.

I am not sure what model it was but I had a garmin collar for my lab when starting her and she apparently loved the thing...it never phased her. I could put it on other dogs and they would act like they had been shot but my lab never reacted in the least...

Off topic, but buy extra chargers. This past season I had 3 hunters lose their chargers for their collar at the camp.

If you haven’t already you may wanna put the longer prongs on it. I tried the shorter ones and they were to short to make skin contact through my labs coat.

Trained her myself. No school, does hand signals and no annoying whistles. Took her half a season to catch on but once shock collar was introduced it clicked.

I think that was the problem. She is 7 now and about as good a duck dog as an idiot like me could hope for...she would be more shocked at the thought of me thinking she needed anymore training than the collar would provide at this point. Plus she would remind me of my poor shooting and how me pratcicing that would put more ducks in the blind than her occasionally deciding to run the bank or stop and sniff for a rabbit every now and again. She is mean that way...
