The Garmin PRO 550 Plus Training and Tracking System is a revolutionary e-collar training system that takes everything we love about the PRO 550 and adds tracking abilities to it. This is a system that we are really excited about. It has simple controls, futuristic design, and ease of use. It is everything that is great about the PRO 550 while being easier to operate than the Alpha 100.

I had a very memorable hunt with my 14 year old son, Hunter recently. Pheasants Forever conducts a youth hunt annually to keep the sport alive and in front of our youth. Tim Rowan the Youth coordinator for this specific hunt takes great pride in his chapter North Central PA Chapter 630. Everyone was very welcoming and hospitable. When we arrived there was a booth with free food and beverages, a beautiful pheasant trailer where a volunteer taught your children how to properly clean their harvest, and each hunt was kicked off with a briefing by Tim around safety and respect for the dogs and their owners.

I have worked for Lion Country Supply for almost two years now. I have always been a customer of the company, continuously needing Collars, leads, E-collars for my hounds; Lion Country is and always will be my GO TO place. When I was hired the management staff was all well aware of my hunting background and knowledge with all the product that I still buy and use today. Every September during bear season in New Hampshire, my father and I always spend the long twelve hour journey north with our Plott hounds loaded in the bed of the truck to stay for a long weekend to hopefully fill our bear tags.

E-collars which are also known as remote collars are operated remotely with a handheld controller. While many people consider e-collars nothing more than a shock collar used to correct bad pet behavior, e-collars have greater uses beyond behavior correction. Location tracking is one of those uses. Over the next few weeks we'll be doing a short article series on e-collars.

Hi, I'm Eric with Lion Country Supply. I'm here today to introduce you to the all-new Garmin Alpha TT15 Mini bundle and the Garmin Alpha TT15 extra collar. Customers tell us all the time here at Lion Country Supply that the existing TT15 is a little large and heavy for smaller breeds. Well Garmin has solved that problem with the TT15 Mini.

The new T5 mini has a smaller physical size as you can see compared to the original T5. The collar strap can fit down to a 9.5 inch neck. It has a lighter weight at 7 ounces. compared to 9 ounces with the original T5 collar. It also has a sleep mode, which allows you to shut the collar on and off from the hand held, allowing you to conserve battery life. You can also turn the beacon lights on and off from the hand held.

Lion Country Supply Says: You know you're a REAL Dog Person IF: You have the latest model of almost every brand of E-collar made. You have memorized the phone numbers of the 3 nearest shooting preserves, but can't remember your own cell phone number. You prefer the smell of your wet dog over the smell..
