the problem i saw is 2 things, hunts way out too far for me,and owner could not stop him,he hunted..
so, i can see why they put those collars on GSP,POINTERS..
i would be scared to death here in big woods of pa. with ANY dog that hunts way out like i saw that GSP today do..
When you say way too far, how far is that? Why would you be scared to death about this? The further the dog is from you, the less ground you will have to cover. Just walk on the path and wait for the beeper to start beeping. I don't like the dog to range much further than 200 yards, but that's just because further than that in deep woods, it becomes tough to hear the beeper.
