Dog Training Collars - What Features Do You Need?

When you compare features of dog training collars, remember that not all these features match your needs. So how can you tell which features fit your needs? Let this article help you in your search for dog training collars that are perfect for your pet.

Range - the backyard is not a farm, and not the hunting grounds

The standard options for transmission range are short, medium, and long distance. Here's a short list - short range if you'll use it on your garden or backyard, medium if out on the park and long range if the kind of dogs you have are hunting or working dogs.

Ruggedness - the collars should survive getting soaked, the transmitter getting dropped

It's good to know the collar will still work when soaked in rain, regardless what kind of dogs and how many your have. Dogs can suddenly run back indoors, all soaked up by the rain. It's not uncommon to find some dogs that stay outdoors, despite the rain. With a waterproof collar, you can still send a signal, if you've trained them well, to call them back.

Rechargeable batteries are better than buying new ones over and over

Being waterproof and being rugged are closely related aspects that have to do with battery life. The collar should be able to survive getting wet, if it does have parts that could be easily be removed. Don't get collar that come with batteries that can be removed, like triple A sized batteries - choose one with rechargeable batteries. When the power indicator says battery low, just plug in the collars into any outlet and come for them later.

Docking station - recharging speed and other benefits

Yes, a collar-transmitter packages often comes with its own recharging unit and power cord, but it's often good to have a recharging dock. It's more of a cradle recharging station, neat to look at, and helps keep things tidy. Docks usually help keep wires tidy. The price of course can be affected by getting such an item. Or if the recharging wait time is not significantly upped by getting a docking station compared to just plugging both collar and transmitter to the outlet, perhaps you can dispense with this item. Better see what other models have to offer in case they're features appeal to you.

More collars when needed - a valuable feature for those with many dogs

You'll notice which packages (transmitter and collar/s) come with single or more collars, and which ones can accommodate more collars - these are the expandable types. The foregoing info may be of use to you, especially when you start thinking of getting more dogs, or more training collars. You might do what other farmers of hunters do after seeing how well certain training collars do - they buy more of it for their dogs. It may happen to you.
