Thanks John glad it works for you
But
Even though I have always run a bell on a setter, with a hearing loss since childhood compounded by age - I cannot tell where the dog is any longer and for the setters when on point it becomes a search - when you cannot locate your dog for an extended period of time and you start to worry its a lot less fun. I tried the remote activated beeper but determining direction is also an issue
For the duck dog. In the heavy cover it will let me know if he is on line or trailing a cripple
I collar condition my dogs as a safety issue. Neither my dogs nor I are perfect, and when my recently passed setter became hard of hearing, it allowed us to stay in contact as long as we could see each other. A light touch and he would look to me for hand signs. When we could not see each other, we were both lost and often got separated
