Garmin PRO 70 vs 550: Which One Is Better For You?

First of all, both the Garmin PRO 70 and the Garmin PRO 550 are premium dog training systems that aren’t cheap, and both come at their core as a handheld transmitter remote control, and a collar with a collar device/receiver.

The Garmin PRO 70 is more of a dog trainer type system with a narrower range of features, whilst the Garmin PRO 550 could be for dog trainer AND hunters, with a wider range of features.

– You’d get the Garmin PRO 70 if:

• You want to control up to 6 dogs with the same handheld remote (and the purchase of separate collar receivers)
• You are OK with training with a static and tone (sound) option, and no vibration option
• You are OK with only 6 different static stimulation options (number of levels of shock intensity)
• You don’t need to add a beeper for hunting and pointing dogs

• You want 21 different levels of static stimulation (a much wider range of shock intensity)
• You want the ability to add the Upland beeper to the collar for hunting and pointing dogs (you can purchase the Upland beeper separately)
