#it is the safest way for my boys to access offleash time

[twogundogonesighthound]

(This is wyrddogs) What GPS system did you buy? I just bought a Garmin A 120 collar for the child (he’s a real man now!), but I’m lucky that my roommate is letting me borrow her handheld. Those things are expensive!

Oh boy are they ever. I threw up a little when I put my credit card info in! I went with the Garmin 200i and TT 15X collars. I wanted tracking and training capabilities, which is why I went with what I went with. I’ve only used the system on 3 walks so far but it was worth every penny spent - I feel SO much better having them offleash. As long as it holds up for like, at least 5 years, it will have been absolutely worth it. An added bonus is that I also love being able to see how far we all went. On our last walk, humans went ~5 miles and Darcy went over 9!

But yes, I felt like once cal grew (or perhaps ungrew? Ejected?) his brain, it was time. Grown men need their every footstep tracked, just in case they have a thought of their own (dangerous). And if you ever are in the market for a handheld, keep an eye out for sales…I got like 300$ off the whole system by buying on sale.
