I have 4 dogs, daughter has 3. We take them frequently to the mountains and while they are mostly obedient, sometimes one will take off when distracted. We've had a few close calls. Any input is appreciated.

I'm a little late to the party here but since no one else is giving you a good answer I will chime in.

I run the Garmin alpha system with my bird dog. I can track him up to 9 miles and there is no lag. I think you can track up to 20 dogs at a time. You can see them on the screen on a map and you can even tell what direction they're moving. It also connects to my watch and I can have an arrow pointing right at him at all times.

It's expensive but I know exactly where my dog is at all times. The collars have tone and shock capability. When I want to recall my dog I send the tone to him and normally that works and he comes back. Occasionally if he is over excited or whatever and he does not return to me I will hit him with a momentary electric stimulation which he is very sensitive to and he comes running back.

Quick look and it is expensive, but definitely worth thoroughly exploring. Thank you VERY much! One of our girls was lost for a couple of hours in the mountains a few months back. Don’t want a repeat of that.

It is expensive, for sure. I run the TT mini on my dog, it was expensive. The controller is expensive. You gotta break it down to how much is your dog worth? My dog and his training is worth every damn penny that setup cost me. And when he is gone and I get a new dog well then he will be sporting that same collar. You're gonna need the remote and a collar for every dog in your pack. If you're serious about wanting to keep your dogs safe then you will see the value.

That’s just the thing, if it prevents even one dog from getting lost, it is absolutely worth it times 7 lol. And I can probably pare that down to 4. Two of my pack are pretty geriatric and are never far away, and one in the pack is a sissy boy (the Rottweiler, go figure), and won’t leave his human mama’s side. Thanks again for the info, greatly appreciated.
