Dogtra fan and trainer in PROPER use of e-collar
I've been a Dogtra fan for many years. Not only for my own dogs, but the dogs at our training facility sell ONLY this brand e-collar for training high drive and working breeds. I've talked so many others into ditching the cheaper, crap brands of e-collars just for the simple fact that you get so much more from Dogtra. I've luckily only had to reach out to them a couple times. Once was due to the prong extension design and the lack of pliability, causing the extension itself to snap while in use. This matter was resolved in just one simple e-mail to customer service. Then, last week I was having what I thought was a battery issue with a remote. I contacted Shaun and with his prompt response, a few photos and some diagnosing, we were able to resolve the issue and got us back up and running in no time. If you're looking for an e-collar for your dog, you need to know a few things about this brand that outshines the others... 1) Extremely durable build Built for hunting dogs, K-9 units, and professional trainers. Known for surviving mud, impact, cold, and rough outdoor use. Some trainers report using the same unit 7+ years with minimal repairs 2) Highest waterproof rating available! Many models have "IPX9K" waterproofing, one of the highest ratings available for electronics. Designed to withstand high-pressure water jets, rain, swimming, and full submersion. 3) Very precise stimulation control Uses rheostat dial / Exact-Stim system with many incremental levels (often 100–127+). Allows extremely small adjustments rather than large jumps between levels. 4) Strong and consistent signal range Many models offer ½ mile to 1+ mile range. Signal tends to remain stable through trees, terrain, and interference. 5) Reliable stimulation output Known for consistent output at the selected level. Important for training so the dog receives the same correction each time. 6) Long battery life Rechargeable batteries often last days of heavy use or weeks with normal training. 7) Designed with input from professional trainers Many models are built specifically for working dogs, hunting dogs, and competition trainers. 8) Wide range of specialized models Options for: Pet obedience Hunting / field dogs multi-dog systems hands-free remotes bark collars 9) Ergonomic remote controls Dial-based controls allow quick adjustment without looking. Designed to be used one-handed while handling a leash, rifle, or training equipment. 10) Industry reputation Frequently used by professional trainers, hunters, and working-dog handlers. Longstanding brand in remote collar training equipment. 11) Stellar customer service and response. Located in the USA. Customer service is never a hassle, easy to reach and you will ALWAYS be heard, no matter your concern.
