Garmin Alpha 100 TT15 Mini 3 Dog Collar Combo Dog Tracking and Training System

Garmin Alpha 100 TT15 Mini 3 Dog Collar Combo Garmin Alpha 100 TT15 Mini 3 Dog Collar Combo Garmin Alpha 100 TT15 Mini 3 When Garmin improved on the Garmin Astro technology and blended it with the Tri-Tronics Trashbreaker line to create one great canine GPS tracking and training device, they thought of pretty much everything.

The Garmin Alpha has a bigger built-in capacity of 8 GB; nevertheless, the 100K TOPO map included with the Garmin Alpha handheld consumes 3.5 GB. There’s still a MicroSD memory card slot, so you can add more storage for things like your FREE 1 YEAR of Birdseye satellite images.

When you combine Garmin’s most sophisticated handheld monitoring and training system with the Alpha 100/TT 15 Mini bundle’s lightweight and small collar, you’ll get optimal performance. Each of Garmin’s newest track and train devices is intended for simplicity of use and maximum functionality. Our Pro Staff Review of the Garmin T5 and TT15 Mini Collars can be found here.

Features of the Garmin Alpha 100/TT 15 Mini Combo

Smaller Collar:

Weighing in at only 7.5 ounces, the TT 15 Mini collar is designed for dogs under 50 pounds. Compact and ergonomic, the GPS collar box features rounded edges that reduce wear-and-tear and keep your dogs from hitting legs on the device.

Better Tracking:

The high-sensitivity, top-mounted GPS receiver is now enabled to receive signals from GLONASS satellites. This adds 21 more satellite signals your collar can connect with. Coupled with the 28 satellites currently in the GPS system, these signals will help cut down on dropping satellite connection while hunting in rugged conditions. The Garmin Mini TT 15 track-and-train collar also comes with a more durable and flexible stainless steel aircraft cable antenna cut to 18.5 inches.

Better Training:

The Alpha 100/ TT 15 Mini bundle uses Tri-Tronics technology that includes electronic, tone and vibration stimulation. You’ll have 18 levels of stimulation to choose from, applied either continuously or momentary, allowing you to match your dog’s behavior in any situation.

Bark Detection:

When enabled, you’ll be able to see the rate at which an individual dog is barking right on your Alpha 100 screen. The status of each dog’s bark rate can be displayed on both the map and compass screen. You can also set an alert when your dog barks in excess of the chosen barks per minute (20, 40, 60, or 80). This can be a handy tool when your dogs are out of hearing range and you are trying to determine whether the dogs are trailing or have the critter jumped.

Rescue Mode:

This is an invaluable feature that has become a staple with Garmin tracking collars. When activated, the collar will automatically go into battery conservation mode when it drains below 25 percent of a full charge. This mode automatically changes the update rate to 120 seconds (2 minutes). This allows for additional hours of battery life, which can help you to safely retrieve your valued dog.

Track More Dogs:

The Alpha 100 gives you the ability to track up to 20 dogs and simultaneously correct unwanted behavior.

Keep Track of Friends:

Not only can you track up to 20 dogs, but you can also track other Alpha 100 handhelds. Your new Alpha 100 can communicate with up to 20 units overall, meaning that you can track 18 dogs and 2 Alpha handhelds, 17 dogs and 3 Alphas, or any other combination.

Wireless Dog Transfer:

Never has it been easier for you to link dogs to your handheld. One of three ways to add a dog on the Alpha 100, users can wirelessly transfer a dog from one handheld to another. This comes in handy when the dogs are already gone and on a track.

Change Communication Settings on the Fly:

An exclusive feature of the Garmin Alpha 100 is the ability to change all communication settings on the fly. This includes ID numbers, update rates, and the invaluable rescue mode, which slows the update rate to 120 seconds in order to gain additional hours of battery life in case of an emergency.

Track and Train Codes:

With the Astro 100/TT 15 Mini combo, you’ll have the ability to control who can track or train your dogs. When connecting a collar to a buddy’s device, you can either give them a code that will allow the handheld to track and train, or else just track. This means you’ll be able to control who can shock or tone your dog.

Fast Collar Strap Changes:

Modeled after the Garmin Alpha TT 10 and Astro DC 50, collar straps on the Garmin TT 15 Mini easily slide right through the channels on the collar box, making strap swaps easier than ever before. All ¾-inch collar straps will fit the TT 15 Minis. Pick from any one of Double U’s different colors!

Improved Charging Port:

The charging port on your TT 15 Mini allows 3 different charging options: AC outlet, a vehicle charging port, and the USB port on a computer. This is especially handy when it’s time to run a software update on your collar. All you have to do is attach the charging clip, plug your TT 15 Mini into your computer, and run Garmin WebUpdater.

Adjustable Dog Type:

Using the updated Alpha 100 or Astro 320, you can change the status of each individual to best reflect what they are doing. Your options are pointing, treeing, auto, none. This lets your Alpha or Astro know that when your dog is sitting idle, he or she could be on point or have game treed.

Antenna Sleeve:

With the Garmin TT 15 Mini, you’ll never again have to use zip ties or tape to secure an antenna. The new TT 15 Mini comes with a thick, durable rubber sleeve that keeps the VHF antenna erect and receiving communication signals. Along with the rest of the collar, it is extremely durable and easy to clean.

Camera Control:

When linked to the Alpha 100, the TT 15 Mini is capable of controlling the Garmin VIRB camera. This allows you to see what your dog sees in the field.

For additional information about the TT 15 Mini collar, please read our Garmin TT 15 Mini collar review.

NOTE: Like its larger counterpart, the TT 15 Mini can be tracked either on the Garmin Alpha 100 or the Garmin Astro 320 but not at the same time. If you already own an Alpha 100 or Astro 320 and want to track the TT 15 Mini, be sure to update your handheld software by downloading the Garmin WebUpdater on your computer or tablet.

Purchase the Garmin Alpha 100/TT 15 Mini combo and know you’re using some of the best in the business.

What’s New in the Garmin ALPHA 100 + TT15 MINI Combo

• Designed for smaller breeds measuring as small as 9.5″ in neck circumference
  The TT15 MINI is lighter in weight (7.5 oz.) compared to the standard TT15 collar (10 oz.) and uses a 3/4″ collar strap.

• Collar sleep mode allows you to save battery life by turning on the sleep mode feature from the handheld
• Top mounted high sensitivity GPS / GLONASS Receiver for increased signal reception
  The MINI TT 15 collars have the ability to pick up both GPS and GLONASS satellites. GLONASS is the Russian version of USA’s GPS satellites. What this means is that there are now more satellites that your system can pick up. This will get you better and faster reception.

• Non-stimulating Vibration
  Add a new Non Stim communication to your training. The TT15 MINI collars have vibration along with tone. You can use Vibration to teach a silent recall or most any other command that you choose, or use it as a warning prior to stimulation.

• Track Alpha TT15 MINI, TT15 and TT10 collars PLUS the new Astro T5 MINI and T5 Collars
  The new Astro T5 MINI and Alpha TT 15 MINI collars have the ability to be tracked by either the Astro 320 handheld or the Alpha 100 handheld. Please note that these collars can NOT be tracked by Alpha and Astro handhelds at the same time. T5 MINI and TT15 MINI collars must either be in Astro mode (tracking only) or Alpha Mode (Track and Train for TT15 MINI, Tracking Only for T5 MINI). This lets Alpha users who need a system they can use in competitions legally run T5 MINI tracking collars. Alpha users that do not need ALL of their collars to be training collars can add T5 MINI collars to their Alpha system and use them to only track dogs.

• VIRB Control on the MINI TT15 Collar lets you start or stop VIRB video recording with the Alpha handheld (VIRB camera not included)
  Folks that want to film their dogs in action can add Garmin VIRB cameras and use the Alpha handheld to control some of the camera features.

• 1 Year FREE Subscription to BirdsEye Satellite Imagery
  Get a chance to try out the Birds Eye satellite imagery for free in your new Alpha handheld. This software gives you the ability to see your dog both on the standard topo map and also using satellite images. It adds a whole new dimension to seeing your dog.

• EMERGENCY ALERT lets you send your location and an emergency alert message to other Alpha users in the area.
