So I've been doing some research on the Garmin Alpha and I've read a few reviews that have given me some concern. It has a great reputation BUT I keep reading how it is flawed when it comes to training when having to change to level of stimulation the collar puts out. I've read a few times now that you have to go through a few different screens before you can change that setting and it causes too much of a delay when training where response time is important to correct your pup. Can anyone shed a little more light on this for me? My concern is the price is not exactly cheap and I don't want to invest in something like this and then come to find out I need a separate e-collar for training. It seems as though the e-collar function on the Alpha is more for correcting an already trained dog and not training up a pup. Any suggestions?
