When it comes to home dog training devices one of the most useful obedience training products available is the remote dog training collar. These work by delivering a small, harmless shock to the dog by pushing a button on the remote control. These are great at correcting specific, unacceptable behavior. There are many models and types available. Here's what to look for to buy the best remote dog training collar possible.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Range: Make sure the model you choose has an appropriate range to the situation it will be used. Home models can have a short range, but if you plan on training outside get a dog training collar with more range.

  2. Step 2

    Adjustable intensity levels: A nice feature to have is being able to adjust the intensity level right on the remote control. This is a great feature to have if you dog is distracted and runs off, just dial up the intensity to get the dogs attention.

  3. Step 3

    Audible mode: Another nice feature is being able to switch between sound only or shock mode. Eventually the dog will respond to the tone and no longer need a shock. Being able to deliver a shock may still be necessary if the dog is distracted.

  4. Step 4

    Expandability: Some remote dog training collars are expandable, meaining you can add additional collars for multiple dogs and control all of them from one remote.

  5. Step 5

    Rechargable batteries: A money saving feature, especially useful if you have more than one dog, or just one very stubborn one.

  6. Step 6

    When you're ready to buy a remote dog training collar consider online merchants, they generally have lower prices and even offer reviews right on their site. In fact there are some great links right on this page to help you buy the best remote dog training collar at the best price possible.
