A remote hand-held transmitter must have the flexibility to match the stimulation level to your dog's temperament. Stimulation intensity level must also be appropriate to the size of your dog. Larger dogs need a higher stimulation to follow and obey your commands. While a small stimulation may be too weak to get the dog's attention. Many of the training E Collars that we caryy now clearly indicate what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

There are two 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 receive a short electronic stimulation within seconds. There is an auto shutoff feature available on some remote devices. You can read other tips on our remote E Collars for additional details and information.

Generally speaking, the more range, the better. The effective range of an E Collar can vary according to terrain, environment, and line of sight conditions. If you will be training your dog in a field, it is suggested to have a long range training collar. This will ensure you can produce a reliable and strong enough signal.. However, if you are only doing a basic yardwork obedience training, then the 150 to 300 yard range is more than enough.

The transmitter ought to be small enough to carry in your pocket. Our manufacturers make transmitters that are small and lightweight. However, dog trainers have their own personal preferences, but the main feature to consider is the resistance. Some handheld transmitters are waterproof, water resistant, and rugged punishment tested.

A remote E Collars should have intelligent engineering with an internal antenna to avoid being caught up from the dog's body. And of course, waterproof collars are highly recommended if you intend to train your dog in our around water.
