I have a very basic question I'm almost afraid to ask. Its sort of like asking a chainsaw question to a "chainsaw guy." You have a little 4 inch tree limb you want to trim in your suburban yard, but the chainsaw guy simply won't stand for you buying anything less than a Stihl that would take down a California redwood.
Oh well here goes...
Do electronic dog training collars that advertise as "Tone" just make an audible beep when you press a button on your controller? My needs are VERY specific. My 11 year old Brittany is going deaf for sure. But otherwise he's healthy and fairly spry, and still loves to hunt. As long as I hunt in low brushy fields we have no issues, as he can see me so he doesn't get lost. But, if we get into any kind of heavier cover, like over my head, my concern is he will wander and not be able to find me (us.) My thought is a collar that I can trigger a beep on so that I can locate him by sound may just keep us hunting longer.
At this point in his life, I am NOT going to train him to do anything. I like the way he hunts, he always stayed close, and was a great little hunting buddy. I'm not going to shock or stimulate him (although if the unit happens to have those features it's fine, I just won't use them.)
So does my question make sense? Can I use such a collar for the purposes I have in mind?
