Alpha 200 Plus with TT 25 Collar

$849.98 on sale, $1,049.98 list

Where Felker is, and a way to talk to her, from nine miles out. The handheld and the tracking-and-training collar together.

The Alpha 200 Plus is the handheld: a 3.5-inch sunlight-readable colour touchscreen that works with gloves on, up to 20 dogs on the map at once from up to 9 miles away, a user-replaceable battery good for 55 hours, and a channel view for finding a clear frequency when the field's full of collars. It stores 250 dogs, shows a direction-and-distance compass to each one, and pairs with the Alpha app on a phone. The TT 25 is the collar that tracks and trains, as against the T 20 that only tracks. Sold as a bundle; Garmin has it on sale at the time of writing, $849.98 against $1,049.98.
