Simple, Customizable Training
Expand your training for up to 3 dogs¹, using up to 18 levels of continuous and momentary stimulation, tone, and vibration for effective training across the board. Operation is simple, with the stimulation level/vibrate selection dial at the top of the transmitter for easy access. Use the switch to quickly select a dog for on-the-spot training and to see where it is in the field.
Keep up with Your Pack
When your dogs are on the move, you can quickly glance at the built-in display to see which direction they’re moving and how far they’ve gone from a range of up to 9 miles. PRO 550 Plus uses GPS and GLONASS satellite reception to lock in on the position of each collar.
Built to Go the Distance
The rechargeable battery lasts up to 24 hours, so you can maintain your training and tracking throughout your hunt, and then some. The tried-and-true tube-shaped design of our PRO Series is easy to operate one-handed, so you can keep your eyes on your pack at all times. Both the transmitter and compatible TT 15 dog device collar are designed to withstand the toughest environments.
On the Road or on Your Wrist
With so many available compatible Garmin devices, you can keep an eye on your dogs wherever you go. Pair with fēnix® series watches for tracking from the wrist while you’re on foot. Or pair with the rugged Garmin Tread® off-road powersport navigator, the Garmin DriveTrack™ 71 car navigator, or a Montana® 700 Series handheld (each sold separately) to track from the road.
Compatible with the Garmin Explore™ App
Garmin Explore is now compatible with your PRO 550 handheld, allowing you to track up to 3 dogs and see their locations in real-time on your compatible mobile device. You can record and store each hunt in its own collection, which is saved automatically to the cloud for easy access when you need it. You can view and playback individual dog tracks on your phone or another smart device. And customizable tracking lines let you assign line colors for each dog, based on speed threshold — so you can clearly see when a dog starts the chase.

Customer Reviews
Scott from CORNELL, MIConfirmed buyer
Date Reviewed:
3 starsThe controls are a bit clumsy to use one-handed. It would be nice to have controls similar to the Sport Pro instead of the dial on top for intensity level/training mode. This loses 1 "Star" in the review.On a recent hunt the "Tone" key would not bring up the screen for calibrating or pairing collars. Tech support suggested a factory reset by plugging into my computer. It did not work. It was 6 months past warranty expiration so they told me I could send it in and they would repair it for about $169 or buy a new one. Instead, I tried the old solution of disconnecting the battery to reset the computer. This fixed the problem and it now works fine. To do this, follow the owner's manual instructions for battery replacement but just disconnect and reconnect the battery connector. This was not suggested by tech support so it loses another "Star" in the review. The screws for the backplate are a T6.
