From Humble Beginnings, Johnson's Telemetry has Become the Premier Source for Dog Tracking Systems

Johnson's Telemetry, the premier source for dog tracking systems and supplies was founded by Roger Johnson in 1984 in Reinbeck, Iowa. Roger had a coon hound that would get deep and get on the tree fast... but faster than Roger and his mule, or pickup could keep up with. This would result in him driving around or riding for extra hours trying to locate his prize hound. Out of pure frustration, Roger decided enough was enough and set out to design a product that he could mount on his hound that allowed him to track his dog no matter the hunting condition's or terrain.

After several trial and errors the "D" cell collar was established, working like a charm, no matter the condition with a run time of 16,000 hours. Roger was satisfied with his new invention, until he traveled west in search of big game with some of his friends. While hunting out west, another need arose due to the more challenging terrain;  this prompted Roger to develop a Tree Switch to indicate that his hound on a tree.  With the tree switch he was able to track the hound or pack of hounds regardless of the wind or terrain and the new device kept him from walking in too early, which also helped save him a step and travel distance.


Shortly after the making of the first recovery collar, Roger realized other sizes were needed. Not all of his hounds were big enough to carry the "D" collar.  The "C" 8,000 hour collar, more suited for his Walker Fox Hounds in pursuit of fox and coyotes, was developed along with a Standard Light for beagles and Ultra light to accommodate the smaller more petite hounds.


Since the humble beginnings of Johnson's Telemetry back in Iowa, some things have changed, but many have not.  The main office is now located just outside of El Dorado Springs, Missouri and the recovery and tracking collars are still 100% Made in America - designed AND tested by real outdoors man and hunters, just like you!  


As with most products, customers have requested more and Johnson's Telemetry has answered the challenge with advanced technology that provides the hunters the range and tracking they desire.  We now have the Extended Range 5,000 and 10,000 hour collars with or without a tree switch;  along with screw on e-collar plates to attach your Johnson transmitter to your Garmin Pro series training collars or Sportdog Training systems. We also offer a feature that allows you to mount a Johnson tracking collar to a Garmin TT15,  TT10, T5, DC40 or DC50.  Just ask for the GPS conversion plate on your incoming repairs or on your custom new build collar of any size. Take into consideration your hounds neck circumference when ordering your collars.
