Dog Training Aids Guide

"A collar won't be any good unless you know how to use it"

Improperly used dog training aids such as shock collars can cause injury or harm.

Properly used, training collars are effective and humane.

This dog training aid guide will provide useful information about the important features of electronic dog training aids.

With limitations from the first generation of electronic dog training aids, manufacturers worked to refine their training equipment with a variation of multiple stimulation level from the hand-held remote transmitter. The trainer can now select from one of the three main intensity level for particular corrections: high, medium and low. The benefits of working with a dog training aid is the trainer can immediately send a signal to the dog`s unwanted or undesirable behavior at a distance far greater than leash training allows.

Remote Dog Training Aids - Important Features

It is very important to consider this dog training aid guide to further understand the important features of dog training aids.

· Multiple Stimulation Levels
Remote hand-held transmitter must have the flexibility to match the stimulation level of the dog's temperament. Stimulation intensity level must also be appropriate to the size of the dog. Large dogs need a high stimulation to follow and obey commands while a small collar, your dog may not respond from the radio frequency if the stimulation is too weak. Most dog training aids now clearly indicate what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

There are 2 forms of stimulation available on the market today. First is the continuous stimulation, this method of correction delivers an electronic stimulation to the dog as long as the button is pressed from the hand-held remote transmitter. The second form is the momentary stimulation or sometimes called "nick". The dog will only receive a short electronic stimulation within seconds. Auto shutoff features are also available on some remote transmitter.

  • Innotek BT-502A Training Collar - 4 stimulation levels
  • Innotek ADV-300 Training Collar - 7 stimulation levels
  • UltraSmart IUT-302 Training Collar - 9 stimulation levels
  • PetSafe PDLDT-305 Little Dog Training Collar - 10 levels of stimulation plus tone-only button

    · Range


    Generally speaking, the wider the range of the dog training aid, the better. Effective range of a dog training aid can vary according to terrain, environmental and line of sight conditions. It is recommended to have a long range training collar when training the dog in the field. This is to allow the transmitter to produce a reliable and strong signal when needed. The 150 to 300 yard range is enough for basic yardwork obedience training..

    PetSafe PDLDT-305 Little Dog Training Collar - This product is best for a small pet under 40 pounds to be controlled within a 100 yard range.

    Petsafe PDBDT-305 Big Dog Training Collar - This dog training aid is the reliable partner for big dogs over 40 pounds to be controlled within a 100 yard range.

    · Handheld Transmitter Design

    The transmitter should be small enough to carry in your pocket. Manufacturers make transmitters that are small and lightweight. The main feature to be considered in a dog training aid is the resistance. Some handheld transmitters are waterproof, water resistant, and rugged punishment tested.

    · Integrated Collar Design

    Remote electronic dog training aids should have intelligent engineering with internal antenna. Waterproof collars are highly recommended for dog training around the water.
