Product Description
The PetSafe Wireless Fence pet containment system is a revolutionary concept that provides the safest, simplest form of pet containment ever. Plug in the transmitter somewhere inconspicuous in your home. The transmitter emits a 17.5 kHz radio signal around your home. Your pet wears a lightweight receiver collar that "listens" for the signal. While the collar is receiving the signal, your dog is free to run and play in your yard. When he approaches the boundary of the signal area, he receives a warning beep. If your dog does not return, he receives a static correction which is startling but not harmful. With a little simple training, your dog will quickly learn his boundaries. The training of your pet is a key element with the PetSafe Wireless Fence. Follow the easy instruction and training manual that is included. For use in the US only. This unit is compatible with all US 110v outlets and are not to be used with 220v international voltage.

Selection of the best kind of dog training collar for your personal training goals is just the initial step. You also must make sure it's the appropriate size and that you know the way to utilize it properly. Even the very best collar may not be suitable when it is not employed properly.
Kinds of Dog Training Collars
Dog training collars include prong collars, head halters, choke collars, electronic collars. Dog harnesses and standard pet collars do the job fine for their designed purpose, but are not considered "training collars" and so will not be included here.
Prong collars have the appearance of some thing from a medieval torture chamber that would be really unpleasant. Used properly, they are quite humane. Prong dog training collars were initially constructed from metallic prongs linked to one another in chain fashion. Nowadays they are also offered constructed from plastic which is preferred by many. These types of collars control your dog by means of slightly "pinching" the neck when the handler pulls on the lead. If utilized over aggressively, they will injure so care is needed.
Head halters like the Haiti and Gentle Leader halters resemble and work in a manner similar to harnesses for horses. They function by means of directing the dogs' path. The dogs' body naturally follows the head and a harness does an extremely good job of controlling the head. Whilst they may look to be overly restrictive, the dog rapidly becomes accustomed to them. They are particularly successful in managing aggressive dogs.
Choke collars remain widely used and are also suggested for use in numerous 4H dog training programs regardless of the debate surrounding their use. Used the right way, they are suitable dog training collars, but they are easy to misuse. If they are put on the dog improperly, if links come to be twisted or if an excess of force is used by the handler, they can, indeed, become devices of torture. For me personally, I discontinued using choke collars years ago and will never return to them. There are many far better dog training collars available.
Electronic dog collars are designed to give the dog a slight shock upon command from the handler. The power can be modified from a small buzz or tingle to get the dogs' attention to a more serious jolt. These should never be used on small or timid dogs and only after discussion of your situation with a respected trainer. Shock collars can easily harm your dog if used thoughtlessly.
Whatever your own personal needs, you can find the suitable collar from the a wide variety of dog training collars readily available online. Take a few momemts to search our site and turn your challenging dog into an enjoyable,nicely behaved partner.
