Adding another Collar to my Tri-Tronics System

Steve,

I purchased a Tri-Tronics G3 Sport Basic and I love it!!! I use it with my 95 lb Lab. This remote collar is an amazing training tool. If I understand this correctly, I can use up to three collars with this one hand held remote? The other dog I want to train with it is a ten pound terrier. Is there a smaller collar that will work with the G3 Sport Basic?

Thanks for contacting Gun Dog Supply. Glad to hear the Sport Basic has worked well for you.

You can add up to three collars with that transmitter.

Tri-Tronics now has the smaller “Sport Junior” collar. The Junior is smaller than the standard EXP collar. It gets less range and uses a user replaceable 3 volt battery. While you can use it on any size dog, we recommend it for folks that have dogs in the 8 to 12 pound range.

Here we have a side shot of both Tri-tronics collars next to each other

Here are the instructions to add your extra collar / receiver

1. Install strap of the desired color on the new collar and charge new receiver for two hours.

2. Set transmitter dog selection switch to the color of the strap.

3. Set transmitter intensity dial to a number, not a letter.

4. Turn the collar on.

5. Press and hold collar on/off button, then press and hold a “continuous” transmitter button. Hold both buttons down for about 5 seconds – until you hear two quick beeps (ignore the long beep that sounds right away). Release both buttons.

6. The collar will now be set to match your transmitter, and will be turned off.

7. Check for a successful match by turning the collar back on and pressing a “continuous” transmitter button. The collar light will turn on. If you are not planning to use the unit now, turn the collar off after testing.

Note for Classic 70 G3 EXP or Trashbreaker G3 EXP: When adding a receiver for dogs 1 – 3, use the button that matches the strap color and place the dog selection switch in the UP position. When adding a receiver for dogs 4 – 6, use the button inside the colored circle that matches the strap color and place the dog selection switch in the DOWN position.
