Stop tracking one group and start tracking another group. -Activate or deactivate any collar in your Dog List. When activated and tracking it shows the dog status and communication.

You never have to go to your compass again to see which collars are connected with the handheld, now with a quick slide of a finger you can see it all! -Customize your training buttons. Set your defaults to add dogs in like you want them, for example: vibrate/continuous/tone or or set up individual dogs differently according to their training needs or style. -Training setup allows you to pre-set your buttons like you need them. For example you can program your top three training buttons (located above the screen) as Vibrate (button 1), Continuous (button 2), Tone (button 3). Do this so that when you add new dogs the buttons are already the way you like, or you can manually set each dog differently. -Competition timer gives you one countdown and 4 timers all in one screen.
