Best 2 collar system for two dogs in your opinion?

Was thinking about this one. https://petspy.com/collections/frontpage/products/petspy-m686-remote-dog-trainer

If there is a better one for the money, please tell me.

I can almost guarantee you that for $70 that collar is going to suck...

Inconsistent stim, battery life and durability will all most likely be issues...

I personally do not have any first had experience with it...so take my opinion with that in mind.

I have the Dogtra 1900s and I really like it.

I have heard good things about Sport Dog recently as well. I used to hear a lot of negative reviews but a friend of mine switched and is really liking them.

^^^ Agreed

Sport Dog and Gamin / TriTronics will last. I know Dogtra has been around a while, I just don't have any personal experience with them.

In this deal you get what you pay for.

I recommend Sportdog.

I have used a Sportdog 425 camo for 5 years(upland and waterfowl) with no problems. The size is excellent. It is very small, lightweight, and waterproof. I have another friend I hunt with that has the same collar. He had to replace a battery and a lost remote during 2 separate duck hunting trips. Sportdog was all over it and sent the needed gear express right to the hotel he was staying at.

I agree with the above statements. That collar you posted has a nice price tag but I'm afraid you will get what you pay for. I use a Dogtra Edge RT and I love it. In my opinion, you can not go wrong with a Dogtra or Garmin/Tri Tronics collar. It sounds like Sportdog is putting out some nice products now as well. I would stick with one of those three brands. If you try and save some money and buy a cheap no-name brand, you will just have to buy a new collar sooner than later.

I went with the tritronic sport basic G3 about 10 yrs ago and it’s still running strong. I’m very pleased. I think this is the new version of it

Since Garmin took over Tritronics, I went with the Dogtra rt edge.
So far I like it as well as my old Tritronics.

Stick with Garmin or Dogtra. You want a two dog collar that has constant and momentary and has a good low range and allows you to step up the power easily when a dog is unresponsive. Low range is critical--you get the best results when you can work the dog around high 1 or low 2 level . This is just an annoying level but allows you to use a lot of constant pressure with out burning the dog. Save those high, high levels for dangerous situations--like snakes and javelin.
A good 2 dog collar is going to run @ 300 or more. Dogtra's and Garmin are waterproof, have a better range and longer battery life.
They also recharge faster.

I have had two dogs on a Sport Dog 425 for almost 5 years now with zero problems.

Garmin Tri Tronics Sport Pro is solid!

Garmin Sport Pro is a great setup. Simple and easy to use while in a small pkg.

I would also throw in DT Systems in the mix for good e collars. I have used the 1820 Plus for the last 6 years on my Lab and it is still going great. SportDog probably gives you the best "deal" for the money. You just won't have the range.
