Do you have a new dog? If so, your new dog will probably need some training. In the case of working dogs or hunting dogs, training is especially essential. For the welfare of both you and your dog, you’ll need to find a safe, effective method of training.

The Dogtra Training Collar is probably the answer, as it has been for many hunting and sporting dog owners.  This is one of the leading brands of dog training collars—and for good reason.  These collars have some great features, including:

Safety Features: you can’t accidentally ‘jolt’ your dog to a level that will harm him because these collars will not hold a sustained stimulation level for longer than it’s acceptable;

Waterproof: This is a great feature for any dog who spends time outdoors, especially working dogs that go out hunting with you and spends a lot of time in the field.

Controlled Stimulation: you have the option to control the stimulation that your dog receives.  You decide whether your dogs behavior requires a quick reminder or a more sustained reminder;

Pager: You can train your dog to behave without electronic stimulation.

Many believe that static collars (often incorrectly called “shock” or “stun” collars) are inhumane.  Anyone who has used one, or who cares enough about their dog to test one, knows that this is completely untrue.  These are veterinarian-approved collars that are safe, effective, and probably the most humane way to teach a dog.  No choking, collar yanking, emotional outbreaks (yelling/screaming) are required for these collars to work effectively.  The secret to the success of these collars is not the “shock” they deliver, but the surprise that the static gives to the dog, startling him out of his bad behavior.

Some of the Dogtra Dog Training Collar models that are available now are:

Dogtra 200NCP Gold Dog Training Collar

The Dogtra 200NCP Gold is perfect for the smaller or medium-sized dog that is not usually more than a half a mile from you when you’re training.  Many non-sporting or smaller sporting breeds, such as terriers and beagles, will be sized right for these collars.  The unit is lightweight and still has a respectable range (880 yards) in good conditions.

Dogtra 175NCP Dog Training Collar

This unit is top of the line. The Dogtra 175NCP is a waterproof unit that will work when your dog is up to 400 yards (1200 feet) away from you.  This unit is not only very helpful for hunters but also is very helpful for those who are training a family pet who is typically in closer contact with their owners.

Both models of Dogtra Dog Training Collars are safe and effective for training your dog—whether it’s a hunter or a family pet (or both).  Added safety features mean that your dog won’t be harmed during training.  These are a safe, humane, and effective way to train your dog to be all that he can be!
