Trainers and pet owners use
PetSafe dog collars because they provide humane and effective training and
bark control at an affordable price. They use electronic stimulation to correct dogs for bad behavior. One
PetSafe dog collar uses vibration to stop bad conduct. Bark collars use electronic correction or bursts of citronella to limit barking. Several
PetSafe
dog training collars will be detailed below. The following are just a few examples of the quality that K9 Electronics recommends and sells.
You can buy a
PetSafe dog collar for any sized dog. When considering a
PetSafe dog collar, think about your dog's size so you buy a suitably powerful collar. Dog collars are designed for small, medium, and large dogs. A small dog weighs less than 20 pounds. Dogs that weigh 21 to 55 pounds are medium sized dogs, and dogs that weigh more than 55 pounds are considered to be large dogs.
PetSafe dog collars like the PRT-1200 Premium Sport Hunter
Dog Training Collar are available in one and two-dog units.
PetSafe recommends this collar for any sized dog. The receiver is 100% waterproof, and the transmitter is water resistant, so these can be used in wet field conditions. There are seven training modes and eight levels of momentary and continuous stimulation.
The transmitter that comes with the PRT-1200 model uses a long lasting 9 volt alkaline battery, which is included with the unit. The 9 volt battery is not rechargeable, but it is easy to replace. The PRT-1200 use a rechargeable NiMH battery; both the battery and charger are included with the unit.
The PLDT-300 Little
Dog Training Collar is recommended for dogs that weigh less than 40 pounds. These units can be used on dogs that are at least six months old and easy to train. The PLDT-300 is a great electronic training device for dogs with short attention spans that get distracted easily. These
PetSafe dog collars have a lightweight, waterproof receiver and 10 stimulation levels. The receiver runs on three 2 volt Lithium batteries, and the transmitter uses one 9 volt battery. The PLDT-300 has a lifetime warranty.
The PBC-102 Bark Collar is a
PetSafe dog collar that limits unwanted barking. This collar only weighs 2.3 ounces so small dogs can wear it comfortably. These electronic training collars are water resistant and use a 6 volt battery. The PBC-102 responds to the vibrations of the dog's vocal cords. When the dog barks, the collar will emit a warning tone and a mild electronic correction. If this minor correction doesn't stop the barking, the collar will provide a stronger correction. These
PetSafe dog collars have six levels of stimulation.
Some use Perfect Bark Detection to ensure proper correction. Sound and vibration input are analyzed by a microprocessor. If something other than barking caused the vibration/sound, the dog will not be corrected. Other units emit a burst of distracting and annoying citrus when your dog barks, which stops nuisance barking without electronic correction.
Correction from these is not harmful; it is similar to the feeling you get when you touch a door knob after sliding your feet on carpet, but it is annoying and will stop bad behavior. The citrus burst from a citronella bark collar is safe for your dog and your family.
All collars come with an instruction manual; some also come with videos. Some have a lifetime warranty; be sure to completely read product descriptions.
