To help you achieve optimum performance from your sporting dogs, Alpha combines proven Garmin GPS dog tracking technology with Tri-Tronics® electronic dog training. This easy-to-use integrated handheld system allows you to track and train your dogs in the field from a range of up to 9 mi, delivering their exact position as often as every 2.5 seconds.

With Alpha 100 and TT™ 10, you can pinpoint up to 20 dogs or hunters’ exact positions on a large, glove-friendly touchscreen display even when they are out of sight. Since Alpha 100 comes preloaded with 100K U.S. TOPO maps you’ll always know your surroundings.

Track Your Dogs

Using the Alpha 100, you can measure each dog’s speed, distance and the direction being traveled. Plus, you can receive notifications when a dog is “Treed” or “On Point.” A single Alpha 100 can track up to 20 dogs or fellow hunters when using either additional Alpha 100 handhelds or TT 10 devices (each sold separately, not compatible with Astro®).

Upgrade your view with a BirdsEye TOPO maps subscription for a better-than-real-life view of terrain, including roads, water, woods and more.

Train and Control Your Dogs

Alpha 100 helps you train and control them to stop chasing unwanted game or “recall” to your position. Easy to access training buttons allow you to communicate separately to each dog through safe and effective features, including 18 levels of momentary and 18 levels of continuous stimulation or an audible tone command. Plus, a lockout setting is available to avoid accidental stimulation or tone.

Two modes of level progression let you customize your training even further. Traditional stimulation allows you to make quick changes within a predetermined stimulation level (low, medium or high). Whereas linear stimulation allows progressively more stimulation through all 18 levels available.

Extend Your Battery

When using the TT 10, hunters can switch to Rescue Mode to prolong the battery life. When the TT 10 reaches a certain battery level, it will slow down the update rate at which it pings the Alpha 100 from every 2.5 seconds to every 2 minutes. This mode should provide additional battery life to the TT 10, blankgiving you more time to search for and locate your dog.

Best dog purchase I’ve made (other than the dog). Awesome, well worth the money for us. Our dog is 100% food oriented indoors. 0% food oriented outdoors. We could not find any positive motivator that worked outdoors, much less when deer or squirrels were around. We use the tone as a “come/here” command.

Great For Off Leash Hiking I use this for hiking with my 70 lb lab mix. It give me great piece of mind. I live near Seattle and there are lots of great place nearby to take your dog hiking off leash. My dog and I both love the freedom of off leash hiking. My dog likes to mill about the forest and hunt for squirrels and rodents while we hike. She get much more exercise and stimulation than if she was on leash. She is in great physical condition because of it. She has a great sense for where I am while we hike and…

Elevation gained function, dog on point function and go to functions did not work properly I am a owner of the older Garmin Astro that I had used for 3 seasons until it broke. I bought the Alpha a few months ago. I use it for upland game hunting with my english pointer. At the onset the elevation gained measurement for my own hiking was inaccurate, overstating the amount of climb that I hiked by 1-2,000 feet on a typical day. Otherwise the system worked well, tracked the dog well, and the shock function was adequate, although not as much shock as my Dogtra unit, and occasionally…
