Looking into getting a shock collar, what's the best kind? How far of a range can I get out of one? And do they make them with a tone option? I have a garmin 320 but am needing a shock collar as well and don't really wanna upgrade to the alpha if possible because my 320 works great for me...thoughts?

I have a brand new shocking outfit I would sell you. It is the Garmin Pro 550. It has the tone button. It has two collars with remote lights on each. It can be used as a no bark collar. It has never been on a dog. Bought new 10-06-2016 Have receipt. Has always been charged according to manual. Have all chargers, an unopened video, an unopened nylon check cord. All paper work and black nylon carrying case. Can send pictures to your phone. I got rid of my dogs due to some heart problems and don't need it. It cost 549.00 and I will take 449.00 for it. Price is firm. If interested ph. 304-584-4406 NCWV Thanks for reading.

I liked the garmin/tritronic pro 70. Reaches to a mile can run multiple collars, has tone , different levels of shock , lights on it , and best of all it doesn't break the bank you can get them for about 200$

A dog can be really really really messed up with a shock collar. Be careful.

Cowboy that sounds about like what i need thanks for your input and Jason I'm training a new pup and I only have a Astro 320 and really don't wanna upgrade to the alpha if I can help it I know shocking one can really mess it up but I just need it incase for a time when I absolutely have to do it I really don't wanna shock my dog at all but there might be that time I really need it to get her away from the road or a homeowner..I have been working with her a lot on coming when called and she's doing great but I'm just trying to be extra careful as I have really became attatched to this pup.i had two redbone male pups that were almost a year old running and treeing together and one night they ran a track towards the road and both got hit by a car one died and the other had to be put down due to how bad his injuries were.i feel like if I would of had a shock collar on them I could have prevented it,would of been bad to shock them on a track but atleast they would still be alive..

Jason I know a guy that shocks his dog for literally everything it does,to be honest I feel bad for the dog,I mean he takes care of it health wise and feeds him good but dang that dog is scared to even move most of the time cause it's afraid to get shocked,alot of people take advantage of the "power" they are holding and turn decent/good dogs into scared dogs that ain't worth nothing.i don't want to shock a dog unless I absolutely have to heck if I put one on my dog it may never get used but would just like it to be there.
