EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Anyone have some ideas what to do or trade options for Dc30 collars that have died on ya? Any companies giving trade in credit or any value left for one?

Also attempting to locate some G2-G3 shocking collar replacement for a Classic system. Most if the stores have discontinued them and do not offer the collars by themselves. 

Also any ideas on these would also be appreciated.

Thanks gents

YELLOWBLACKMASK !

Yep... throw it all in the trash and get you an Alpha!!!

Call Double U and see if they'll take them in on trade.

Man alive good luck. I have been looking at shock systems and ended up getting a new battery for my older sport 50.  Might check valley creek I think it is.

The Garmin dc-30 you can have rebuilt by garmin & then try to sell.  The shocking system, you can send to collar clinic in Mich. & they will rebuild them. Very good people to deal with.

Well can't do that.  Have three more 30's and two 40's going strong.  Ain't one to give up on a system to quick.  Kept my beep beep for 12 years before I got talked into this 220. Had this one about five or six years and hope it lasts another five.

Have some 40's I can pickup cheap enough. Just wondering if there is anything worth breathing life back into the 30...or trot line weight time.

My G2 classic remote is kicking chicken along with one collar. But other one has been hit to many times by pork chops.

Cajun ....

Is the Collar Clinic under new ownership in the last five or so years that you know of?

Reason I ask is I did a little business with them when they first opened and have never been treated so rudely or been so mad at a company. Sent a old Tri Tronic system in for repair and it came back six times without being fixed correctly.
I am an easy guy to get along with but got into it with those idiots badly.  Never did fix my system correctly but they dang sure kept my money.  Were strait up hateful on the phone.
If its same folks......they still owe me money!

I finally broke down and ordered the alpha myself for the same reasons, my 30's gave out and a couple of 40's are on their last leg. Figured i'd cut my losses

Try academy if they have it in there system at one time they may give a credit on a card for what they had it for. I've heard people doing it and getting a credit. Worth a try.

YBM, As far as I know it is the same people. I have never had a problem. They have been pretty reliable for me.

Cajun I had similar experience with collar clinic   They sure will take your money and send your collar back without fixing it.

Glad you had a good experience with them brotha.  Just be careful if you do have an issue. Don't want to speak badly if the management and owners have changed.....but they will and can turn on ya in a heart beat.

Never leave feedback about service but I did with them on their main page. One hundred percent the truth with times dates and how unprofessional their staff and managers had been.

Had my response taken down within about 10 minutes and received a nasty little email. Posted the same thing along with a copy of the little smart A email again and was taken down within minutes and had a management member call and get biligerant with me.

Was hoping they were forced out if business .....but sounds like they have the market cornered. Lol

Just FYI of how they can and WILL get with you.

Just get a Alpha cheap ass!!!!  ;D

Try giving Bob Osborn a call. He is owner and operator of timber creek dog supply. Super guy that's usually up to date and pretty handy with repairs. Quick too. He runs a lot of the tree dog hunts. His number is 662-230-7410. He's in Mississippi.

Guilty!  Haha ;D

Haven't heard of him. I will check it out.

Sounds like them yankie folks up there need to have he!! beat out of them. Iv had similar issues with at&t just before going overseas last yr.

As for op. Will garmin no longer rebuild the 30s?

Charles, from what I have heard I believe they still will but the price to have them rebuilt from what I understand really ain't worth it anymore.

I can believe that justin. They would rather u buy collars that suck or a new system that is outdated in 5yrs, when they bring a new model out

   I called buddy and them at double u about my g3's  I have a couple that quit beeping very loud on me . they still beep but very lightly  shocking works fine .  anyway I asked about a quick fix or was it major . they said to send them in and get refurbished for I think it was 85.00 which I will do . no complaints with them g3's other wise . I just need to go back to hollering at the dogs a little every now and then and quit beeping so much   lol  . that beeper is the best thang since sliced bread I tell ya  !! .

Ok i will start by saying this, i know that no one was asking about the garmin alpha system BUT i received mine this evening after work and after playing with it for the last hour all I can say is wow. I really did not think it would be this user friendly, from charging to setting up to "train" an individual or multiple dogs this thing really is a breeze. Can/could i have made do without it? Absolutely however this is one pretty sweet gizmo, can't wait to try it out this weekend. Ya'll should consider lookin into it a bit more before spending more $$$ on fixing your current broken collars, it is EASY to use and doesnt take much time at all to familiarize yourself with it.


Once again, not tryin to hijack the thread, just thought i would throw my first impression of the alpha out there for what its worth While we are on the subject of tracking/ training collars.

 dang justin, u find a wart on ur arse that drips gold?  ;D when i find that wart on mine, i may look into getting 1 of them high dollar fancy do dads, but right school and bills got me tapped out like a dried up water well

Haha.  Nah you good Justin. Say whatever ya got experience with man.

Would love one. But I usually buy a horse,  ride him till he dies, skin him, make a fur coat, cut me some steaks, and attempt reincarnation before buying a new horse.

So we have several more rounds of duct tape before giving up on the 220.

10-4 on that. I'll go back to my quick track before I spend money on anything more than my 220 unit. All I need to know is how far a dog is and whether or not it is moving. ;D Everything else is unnecessary in my opinion. My $100-100yard old school shocker works just fine for putting a handle on them. If electricity won't stop them within a hundred yards, my lead will ;)

lol, I wouldn't have expected any less from any of ya'll with those responses! got a good laugh out of em  ;D
