We’ve used these collars with both versions of the Fi tracker. We have two Great Pyrenees and they are not gentle on their gear. The snaps are so sturdy and I’ve never seen a frayed area despite their roughhousing. Excellent customer service as well!
Was struggling to get my 16months old Malinois with high prey drive above the 80% recall threshold without using an E-collar.
I was skeptical at first but figured a $12 investment was worth the try.
Wow - Within 2 days of using the whistle we achieved a 100% recall. My only regret was not to buy a second one - this time with a lanyard.
The collar held up fine until our puppy started scratching, which his feet were able to disengage the latch that holds the collar together. Now I find it laying around the house or off with him chewing on it. It seems to be fine for a collar if you don't have intentions of keeping it on at all times.
We just recently ungraded to FI Series 3 for our dog Stanley. We wanted a different collar and not many companies are up to speed with the series 3 yet. This collar is the best we’ve had! Its design, style, and security is top notch. The FI gps was easy to install. Very fast customer service through text as well. Highly recommend. (Here’s a pic of our lil guy Stanley! Hard to see the entire collar because of his neck jig lol)
Classic solid design that also makes it so the Fi GPS unit isn’t the connecting the collar. This is helpful bc the Fi GPS unit weak point is where the collars connect to the GPS. I have had issues in the past with the weak point on the GPS failing bc my dogs pulls when it’s running on leash or tethered. Going to replace my collars with more like this.
I couldn't be happier with the collar we ordered. The clasp on our previous collar wore down leading to an escaped dog running dangerously close to a busy street and all the ensuing panic that entails. Alpinhound's clasp gives me the comfort knowing that won't be an issue moving forward.
