GarminT5 GPS Dog Collar

Works great with my Astro. I didn’t have any issues connecting to unit. Yesterday I took my dogs out hunting and the dog wearing this collar got over 800 yards away from me and I didn’t loose a signal or have any issues.

our 14 year old great pyrenees' back legs have been getting weaker and weaker for some time. we live in the Iowa countryside where there are many rainwater drainage ditches winding their way through the earth, and I've been concerned for awhile now that our dog jasmine would get into one and not be able to get out. today it happened - she is often gone for awhile from the front door of our country tri-plex, but when a couple of hours go by I begin to worry a bit that her back legs have given out somewhere and she can't get up to make it home. today she was gone long enough that I got out the base unit to the garmin astro 320 dog gps unit that I bought in january of this year, along with a second collar, so I can have a battery charged collar on her 24 hours a day, and turned it on and keyed it to the collar she had on at the time. the unit drew a line from where I was in exactly the right direction to where she was, about 300-400' from the tri-plex, stuck in a ditch in mud and cold water, and she could not get up by herself to get out of it. I could not see her until I was about 8' from her, and who knows how long it would have taken me to find her without the gps.I pulled the toyota 4-runner up to within about 20' of where she was, grabbed a handful of hair on each side of her butt, lifted her up and supported her while she walked out of the ditch to the toyota, got her inside and safe - legs have partially recovered by now, several hours later, but it will be a day or so before she is more or less back to what passes for normal for her.thank you, garmin, for making it easy to find and help my precious friend in a couple of minutes, which well might have taken hours otherwise.a good investment, indeed. thanks again.

Works great but the first one I bought only lasted a year before it quit working. So trying a second one now, we will see how long it lasts.

The T5 tracking collar is an excellent way of keeping track of your dog, which is why I've given it 5 stars. However, this review is about the unit sold by Conkeys in Florida. We ordered this product based upon the description here, and found - after failing to pair it with our Astro 320 receiver - that it actually ISN'T the T5 but the T5x, which is not compatible with that handheld. Amazon accepted the return, but this is just a warning to anyone who has the Astro 320 and is thinking of buying this particular product from that store.

Great collar! Gonna get used a lot this quail season

Works great. Easy to use.. Helps alotWorks better than expected in thick scrub.My only complaint is no shock. I personally dont like the shock factor, but come next year, it will be illegal to run a dog with out the shock mechanism.

Apparently, Garmin disables the radio signal between the collar and the GPS tracker if you are outside US. Therefore, the device does not work properly and doesn't provide any tracking information from the collars. They do not inform you that radio communication is only enabled in US but they have no problems selling and shipping this device abroad. Huge disappointment. Do not buy this unless you are in the US.

Never had any issues with it. I let my dogs off leash when alone in the woods in New Mexico. Even if the signal is lost due to which side of the mountain I'm on, as soon as walk back to the same side it picks right up.
