Frequently Asked Questions:

Which Dogtra collar is the right one for my dog?

A: Dogs with soft to medium dispositions can be trained with our low to medium power units. (175NCP or 200 Gold, 300 Element 280 Platinium, 7000m Surestim) For dogs that have a high prey drive and/or a high pain threshold, we recommend a low to high power unit such as the 1900 Field Star, 1800 series, 7100H Surestim, 2300 Advance, 3500 Super-X, or 2500T&B.

*Note that it is always best to have a unit that has some power in reserve for critical training situations and also for when your dog matures.

What is the pager function and how is it used?

A: This feature offers a non-electrical form of stimulation that can be used as an attention-getter for very mild-mannered dogs. (Available all units except the 1800 series and 2500T&B)

Can the pager function be added to an existing system without it?

A: No

Can I change my single dog unit to a two-dog unit?

A: No. Unfortunately the technology does not permit us to add receivers to single-dog units at this time.

What is the rheostat dial?

A: Dogtra's patented rheostat intensity control, provides an infinite amount of levels of stimulation that can be changed at your transmitter. A rheostat is like a volume control on a radio. The more you advance the control the more the intensity increases. This is available on all Dogtra training collars except for the 1800 series, which has a selector style intensity control that clicks between 8 levels

Are your collar/receivers waterproof?

Yes. All of the Dogtra receivers (the unit that fastens around the dog's neck) are waterproof. This includes the Dogtra YS bark collars.

Are your transmitters waterproof?

A: The 1200, 1800 and the 2000 series have waterproof transmitters. The 175, 200, 1100 e-collar models and the RR launching systems have transmitters that are only water-resistant.

What does precise (0-100) simulation level means?

A: It comes in increment of 20, so this would be total of 5 stimulation levels from 20, 40, 60, 80, to 100. Depending on how strong of the stimulation your dog needs, we would recommend starting at 20.

What is the difference between Nick and Constant stimulation?

A: Nick is a quick half a second stimulation while constant stimulation can be held down up to maxium of 12 seconds. It will also have a safety shut off feature after 12 seconds in case the button was not intentionally pressed.

Which remote trainer would you recommend?

A: Depending on your needs. If you are using it for standard obedience training, we would recomend 200 series and up (these are low to medium stimulation trainers). If you are using it for more stubborn dogs, we would recommend 1900 series and up (these are medium to high stimulation trainers).
