The only thing better than your tri tronics is a new tri tronics.

I will take a Dogtra. I have used them for years. They are tough as a boot, I love the vibrator I use it as a call button. So I can bring them in from a mile even if they are near noise. The rheostat switch allows you to make the punishment fit the crime and if you are like me and train with elec. you can make it perfect for any dogs tolerance. Mine has a screan that tell you just exactly what you are hitting him with.
I use elec. for directional commands, speak on command, forced fetch, come, heal and a lot of others. I use very little throw chains and long line work any more.

i have used dogtra, tritronics and DT. i hated the DT. The levels were never consistent(i tried it on my self and found that out).
one time you would hardly feel it the next it would feel it almost too strong all on the same level.

dogtra an tritronics are both great collars. i currtently own both. my tritronics pro 500 G2exp is my main set up with my dogtra and tritronics sport 60 as back ups if for any reason i would need them(like forgetting to charge one).
i plan on selling both though soon since i have yet to need one because of my tritronics failing.

good luck on your decision.

I wouldn't advise those cheep yard dog collors. Not even for bird dogs. I have seen a lot of bird dogs that can take more elec. than most hounds. They have settings but a lot of times you need a setting between the settings. When you are starting with a pup you need the low end and training all the way threw threw the deer races stoping you need a wide range of elec. especially if you are going to train the come and heal with the elec.
One more thing, keep in mind the tone cant be heard around traffic or a bunch of treeing dogs or even one for that matter. If you get a Dogtra for large dogs it will be hot enough for any dog but soft enough for any pup.
Tritronics are excelant collars for correction though and as tough as any. There just not as versitile as the dogtra.

I've got a DT that's so old you got to change fuses in it to change the wallop and the antenna is laced around in the collar. I still use it on a dog barking going down the road or barking in the box when I go to a tree. Knock on wood, I haven't needed a trashbreaker for ten years. Cannot advise on current models. Just saying DT lasts.

For what you use it for I would say cheapest wins. Either one should last a long time at that. The only thing is if you ever decide to do any other training with it. So with that though If there wasn't much differance in price I would still go Dogtra. A lot of times the vibrate will shut a pup up.

only one i have ever owned is tri tronics, and personally, i am a little disappointed in it. had a problem, under warrenty, and sent it back to them. they upgraded or something, but it has not been as strong, or had the range since. i might would try the dogtra..not sure.
