Our Garmin Alpha 200i Discussion starts with Tri Tronics, since 1968, in the early days of dog collar electrification, Tri Tronics has been at the forefront if not the leader in e-collar development and marketing. Born from an idea hatched during an Arizona cougar hunt, a need was identified, and an effective solution was developed. The result: Tri Tronics. The process of dog training forever changed as was the way hunters handled their dog(s) in the field.
Starting with products developed right in Arizona, the 70 being a well-known product from those times. The 70 led the way for many others, 100, Sport Pro, Pro 100, G3s, 550, Astro and Alpha, just to mention a few.
Recently Tri Tronics merged with Garmin International, bringing the technology, engineering, and marketing strength of Garmin to the industry leading product family of Tri Tronics.
