If you have been training your dog with verbal commands and aren't getting the results that you want, you should consider a
PetSafe shock collar. When you use a shock collar, your dog will be immediately and unequivocally corrected for bad behavior. Basic
dog obedience training is made easier with a
dog training collar.
The electronic correction that a
PetSafe shock collar provides is minor. The correction is similar to the feeling you get when you slide your feet on the carpet and then touch a door knob. You wouldn't deliberately seek out this feeling, but it doesn't actually harm you. The collar won't physically hurt your dog either, but it will distract it from bad behaviors such as jumping.
There are many
PetSafe
dog training collar units on the market. One
PetSafe
dog training collar, the PRT-1200 Premium Sport Hunter
Dog Training Collar, is available as a one or two dog unit. This unit has a waterproof receiver and a water resistant transmitter. The unit has a ¾ mile range and was designed to be used under any condition in the field. The small, easy to use transmitter allows you to control eight levels of momentary and continuous stimulation. A tone-only option is also available on this unit. The PRT-1200
PetSafe
dog training collar is recommended for dogs of all sizes.
The receiver of this shock collar runs on a rechargeable NiMH battery. The battery and charger are included with the system. The transmitter is powered by a replaceable 9 volt battery, also included with the
PetSafe shock collar.
The PPPT- 300 Big Collar is recommended for dogs that weigh at least 40 pounds. This unit, which comes with a helpful training video, was designed for professional trainers and the companion pet owner with no training experience. The waterproof receiver only weighs 3.7 ounces so it is comfortable and unobtrusive.
The hand-held transmitter that comes with the PPPT-300 is easy to use and lets you control eight levels of correction. This model has a 100 yard range. Like the PRT-1200, the PPPT-300 uses a 9 volt battery in the transmitter, but the receiver needs three 3 volt lithium batteries. This unit has a lifetime guarantee.
The PLDT-300 Little Collar is a
PetSafe shock collar for small dogs that weigh less than 40 pounds and are at least six months old. Like the PPPT-300, this
PetSafe
dog training collar was created for both amateur and professional trainers.
PetSafe recommends this collar for dogs that are distracted easily.
The PLDT-300 unit has 10 levels of stimulation that are easy to control with the hand-held transmitter. The collar/receiver is also very light; it only weighs 2.4 ounces. Transmitter and receiver use a 9 volt battery and three 2 volt lithium batteries, respectively.
The units described above are a small example of the affordable electronic
training collars sold by K9 Electronics. When you use a shock collar to train your dog you know that you will have ultimate control in any situation.
