How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

The way this collar works is incredibly simple: the touch of a button triggers a signal to be relayed from the remote transmitter to the receiver collar whenever your dog requires correction. The receiver collar then gives the dog vibration only or a mild static stimulation to let him know that he has behaved inappropriately.<\/p>\n

There are three buttons on the hand held transmitter that allow you to send three different types of stimulation. The \u201cNick\u201d button sends a single rapid pulse of stimulation. The \u201cConstant\u201d button delivers a continuous stream of stimulation for as long as the button is held down. If the \u201cConstant\u201d button is held down longer than 12 seconds, however, the device automatically shuts off. The \u201cPager\u201d button sends a vibration without any stimulation. These features allow the operator some options in how he or she trains the pet in question.<\/p>\n

The LED indicator lights found on both the transmitter and the receiver let you know when the system is ready, when a signal is being relayed, and the status of the battery\u2019s charge.<\/p>\n

When you are ready to recharge the components, plug in the charger, remove the rubber stopper from the charging ports on each device and plug them into the charger.<\/p>\n

The owner\u2019s manual offers helpful suggestions for how to train your pet using the Dogtra IQ Plus<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pros and Cons<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the cons of this electronic trainer is that it only has a range of up to 400 yards which makes it a great trainer to use around the yard or park only. Obstacles such as trees and weather can decrease the effective range of the device by 50% or more so it\u2019s not recommended if you have a large property or dogs that will need more room to run and play.<\/p>\n

Nearly everything else about this electronic remote dog trainer is favorable:<\/p>\n
