Garmin Bark Limiter, since when does Garmin make pet products?

October 1, 2014 by Joe Scarpy

Garmin Bark Limiter…? Since when does Garmin make products for pets and do they know what they’re doing?

I had to do a double take when I first saw the Garmin name on these new collars and the Garmin Bark Limiter in particular, but with the addition of Tri-Tronics these collars will stand the test of time! Garmin introduced the first-ever GPS sporting dog tracking collar in 2007. Since then, customers have asked “What about the ability to train as well?”. Well the response was in 2012, when Garmin acquired Tri-Tronics, the leader in dog training electronics. Together, they have created a full line of products for pets, from BarkLimiter to combined long-range tracking and training devices for sporting dogs. Tri-Tronics has added over 40 years’ experience with dog training to the Garmin line of rugged, durable, dog tracking and training devices.

So, what about the BarkLimiter and BarkLimiter Deluxe?

Garmin’s Bark Limiter is the first intuitive bark correction collars differentiates between wanted and unwanted barking, virtually eliminating over correction and false correction. False corrections have always been and continue to be a problem with a majority of the collars currently on the market. The solution is the advanced Autorise technology that automatically adjusts the training level up to the optimum level to stop unwanted barking. These collars require no set-up and work right out of the box. Offered in 2 configurations: BarkLimiter with user replaceable batteries and the slimmer rechargeable BarkLimiter Deluxe.

What else makes these Bark Collars top of the line?

The Time Has Come…The Garmin Delta Upland!

September 30, 2014 by Joe Scarpy

After the release of the Delta and Delta Sport the time had come for the release of the Garmin Delta Upland.

The Delta Upland is a highly versatile sporting dog system that combines a BarkLimiter, electronic training collar and a
remote beeper to help locate dogs afield.

Delta Uplands customizable correction settings, including tone, vibration, and up to 36 levels of momentary and continuous stimulation are the core of the system combined with its ¾-mile range make this a great sporting dog system.

The Garman Upland’s easy-to-read LCD display is easy to read and makes it simple to switch between five different stimulation configurations. The trainer can make immediate corrections when necessary – all based on the specific situation at hand and the temperament of the dog. The Delta transmitter can control up to three collars and switching between different dog collars is undemanding. The collar receiver is lightweight and compact and features integrated stainless steel contact points and the entire system is waterproof in three feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Also, for those that have a tendency to misplace things, the transmitter is blaze orange for high-visibility and designed to float.

Tri-Tronics Upland G3 Beeper

The Delta Upland also incorporates the industry-leading Tri-Tronics Upland G3 Beeper – a convenient and economical way to keep tabs on dogs, whether they’re in thick cover or rolling terrain. The beeper has four hunt sounds (including silent) and two point mode sounds (including hawk scream). When running silent, the beeper can be momentarily activated from the handheld to quickly determine a dog’s position. Hunters can turn their beeper on and off directly from the Delta Upland handheld, and it can be heard up to a quarter mile away. The beeper is powered by a replaceable CR123A battery and is compatible with any three-quarter inch Garmin collar strap.

BarkLimiter Feature Included

BarkLimiter mode, activated from the transmitter, has a set-it-and-forget-it “autorise” function that automatically programs the stimulation intensity level based on the barking behavior of each individual dog. After a prolonged period of quiet, the BarkLimiter will begin rising again if barking resumes.

Another great product from the merger of TriTronics and Garmin! The Garmin Delta Upland collar system will last for years and with the latest technology in e-collar training this is an excellent option for the Upland Hunter that needs to be able to both track the location of their dog as well as have the ability to make corrections when needed.

August 28, 2014 by Joe Scarpy

It’s been three years since a Garmin Ltd. subsidiary had agreed to acquire Tri-Tronics Inc., The leader in electronic dog collar technology.

Earlier this year, the release of the Garmin Pro 550, Pro 70 and Pro Trashbreaker appears to have completed the transition to the Garmin name.

The Pro 550 has been a huge hit with the Hunt Test and Field Trailers and the Garmin Pro 70 and the “Trash Breaker” continue to be favorite of the Coon Dog and Tracking groups!
