Garmin · Dog Tracking & Training
The Garmin Alpha® 300 (Handheld Only) is built for hunters who need dependable dog tracking, training control, and navigation in varied terrain. A vivid 3.5” transflective color TFT touchscreen pairs with a practical 6-button layout, making it easier to stay on task in the field and interact quickly when conditions change.
Designed to manage a pack efficiently, this handheld can monitor up to 20 dogs when used with compatible dog collars, and it supports mapping and orientation tools to help guide the day. With a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated up to 55 hours and an IPX7 water rating, the Alpha 300 is equipped for long outings where gear has to keep up.
A responsive touchscreen works alongside physical buttons for confident operation in the field. The 3.5” display is designed to stay readable across a variety of light conditions, while the interface keeps key actions within reach for quick interactions when tracking and handling dogs.
When paired with compatible dog collars, the Alpha 300 can monitor up to 20 dogs from up to 9 miles away. Channel View helps show collar concentration in the area, making it easier to choose less congested channels to help avoid interference.
A user-replaceable rechargeable lithium-ion battery supports up to 55 hours of use. That extended runtime helps the handheld stay in service through long hunts, reducing the need to stop and recharge when time in the field matters most.
Training
The Alpha 300 is designed for quick training cues using dedicated buttons. It supports audible tone or vibration commands, and offers 18 levels of momentary and continuous stimulation for on-the-fly adjustments to individual dogs when the handheld is paired with a compatible training-enabled collar. The dog info screen also displays hunt metrics such as distance, speed and time afield to help evaluate each dog’s performance during the day.
Navigation
Preloaded TopoActive maps provide detailed terrain context across the U.S., Mexico and Canada, including contours, topographic elevations, summits, parks, coastlines, rivers, lakes and more. For a different perspective, satellite imagery can be downloaded via Wi-Fi® technology directly to the device with no annual subscription required. Multi-gnss support, a barometric altimeter, and a tilt-compensated 3-axis electronic compass help with navigation and situational awareness in challenging environments.
Connectivity
Group management helps streamline the start of a hunt by letting users build dog and people groups that match how they head into the field. The handheld can store up to 250 dogs to make switching active collars easier, and it supports location reporting to send and receive GPS positions. LiveTrack is also supported; see the specifications and on-page details for compatibility and setup requirements.
