Very happy that AlpinHound is now offering the continuous strap version for Fi collars. If you have big strong dogs that is a must. Awesome customer service and a super high quality feel. Highly recommended.
This collar is durable, well made, and the hardware is impressive. We’ve had it almost one year and it still functions as well as it did out of the box. This is unusual as we hike rough wet terrain constantly.
Our dog Rufus had canine dementia, and if he left the house he could not find his way home again. I bought him a Fi module to help with that, but the early Fi collars had a defect with the D-ring that caused them to fail sometimes. I wasn't aware at the time and sure enough, he broke his D-ring and started off. The Fi warned us and we found him, but needed a new collar for him. I had previously purchased from Alpinhound for our other dog, and knew the quality. With my dog's safety and well-being on the line I knew where to go. Rufus only got to wear his new collar for around a month before finally succumbing to dementia just before his 15th birthday. The peace of mind I got from knowing that his Alpinhound collar wouldn't let us down was worth every penny. I will never consider another collar for my dogs.
