400 yard range. Durable, rechargeable, waterproof receiver. Entry-level companion dog trainer for small to medium breeds. Start at $151.99
Dogtra 175NCP collars have a 400-yard range, nick and constant stimulation modes along with Dogtra's patented non-stimulating pager function. Features a durable waterproof receiver, water-resistant transmitter and rechargeable Ni-MH batteries.

Has user friendly controls that any dog owner can understand. Choose your type of correction by sight or feel using large buttons. Raise the stimulation level by turning the rheostat on the top of the control. Rheostat correction-level-dial allows the user infinite correction adjustments and better control over the exact effective stimulation level.

Turn the dial to gradually increase or decrease the level of stimulation at the hand-held transmitter. Infinite (instead of pre-set) levels allow the trainer (paying close attention to the dog) to receive very early responses from the dog as the correction is raised so that he can stop the instant that the correction level is effective (before overwhelming the dog with a confusingly high correction.) Rheostat control enhances the consistency of the message to maintain the dog's momentum during training sessions. No clumsy re-setting or retooling levels during the exercises.

    electronic dog collars Buyer's Guide

    Compare Sporting Dog Collar Features

    Sporting Dog electronic dog collars have been used for many years to train companion hunting dogs and competition field dogs. The psychology of training using remote dog trainers has evolved into a sophisticated study, and techniques are more humane and more productive than ever. The sophisitcation of the newer collars as well as the ease of use has made them a practical necessity for a polished, finished dog.

    Stimulation/Corrections are varied depending on the training system and your individual situation: All good systems incorporate a system of stimulation levels designed to get your dog's attention, guide his movement, and communicate your pleasure with his performance. Some systems correct your dog using a harmless but unpleasant static shock (most of them). Some use unpleasant audible or inaudible sounds which have previously been used simultaneously with the static correction until they are understood by the dog to BE the correction. Some use only adjustable vibration (NEW), warning or pager features.

    Communication/Stimulation Levels & Duration:

    Duration: Instant (Nick) stimulation is instantaneous and lasts only ½ sec (or less) no matter how long you hold the button down. Continuous stimulation lasts as long as you hold the button (emergency shut off in about 10 sec), and Pager or Tone-Only uses only a vibration, buzz or tone to alert or command the dog. (Vibration is a great tool for training young dogs, sensitive dogs, or deaf dogs).

    Continuous stimulation is most often used in early stages of "gentle pressure" (often called "escape") training and Nick correction is best used to fine-tune the behavior afterwards. (Most trainers start with positive reinforcement and demonstration until the dog knows the commands before any electronic pressure is applied. "Escape" training, (where a dog is able to end a constant-low-level continuous stimulation by performing some task) is used in many or most hunting and field dog training scenarios and is also highly effective. (It should be used only after a thorough understanding of the technique has been mastered.) The new V-collars (escalating vibration) use pressure from vibration to guide the dog through the steps and are very useful for very young dogs, sensitive dogs, early training, and guiding during find-tuning. All of the collars presented here have both Nick and Continuous Stimulation options. Some have vibration, beeper, and tone modes as well.

    Levels: The more finesse you have to tailor the stimulation to the exact temperament of your dog and the exact circumstances of the situation, the more quickly your dog will respond and the less chance there is of over-correction. Every dog will need at least a couple of different levels depending on the circumstances. You will find that a dog who performs flawlessly in the back yard will need a higher level of stimulaiton to gain his attention when he is outside his usual environment where distractions are high such as in the park or in the field. He may need a higher level still if he is engaged in a "high adrenaline" state such as when chasing a car, another dog or cat, or honed in on the wrong game. Dogs who are wet will need a lower level of stimulation due the high conductivity of their wet skin that will channel the full effect directly to them.

    Training should be accomplished at the lowest level that gets a response without causing fear or yipping pain.Your dog should look up at you when he feels the stimulation. His neck muscle might give a small twitch, but no vocalization, lowered ear set, cowering or otherwise showing fear should be apparent.

    Your system should have levels at both ends of the spectrum including a "very soft" stimulation mode at the low end. Novice trainers often look only at the high end which will be used only rarely (if at all) for aversion training. The low is even more important. Some electronic training systems such as the Unleashed systems have a low end that is so gentle that you can put it on your own skin and not feel uncofmortable. Because stimulation is used to get attention more than to "punish", it is important to have a very low end to help guide the dog without administering pain.

    The number of different settings for corrections and the way to program them is important and completely individual to each manufacturer and to each collar in their line.

    Multiple dogs? If you train more than one dog with your single transmitter, you will certainly want levels from low to high with as many shades of gray as possible in between so that the temperament of each dog is satisfied independently.

    Range: Range is discussed below as far as different types of training. Range is adversely affected by terrain. Mountains, hills, dense trees all inhibit range and will reduce the range claimed by the manufacturers. We also recommend that you reduce the claimed range by about 1/3 in many instances just because "marketing" tends to exaggerate. Range for correction is not usually the reason to have a collar with long reach, as most trainers wouldn't dream of correcting their dog when he is out of sight and might be doing exactly what he is supposed to do. However range for recall is important. That is where the "tone-only" "Come" command (above) is invaluable and range matters.

    Whether you will be training an Upland dog, a water dog or retriever, or a hound, there are a few of considerations you can judge early.

    • Most hunting is done in the fall and winter when weather can be a factor. Larger buttons (for glove use) or more sturdy equipment is desirable - balanced against the size and bulkiness of carrying it. Whether you want the dog's receiver to be waterproof (able to be submerged in water) or just water-resistant (able to get wet but not completely submerged) is entirely dependent on the terrain in which you will use it. A water proof receiver is a necessity if you will be training near ponds, lakes or streams. A waterproof transmitter is usually not necessary unless you think you will actually drop it in water.
    • If you will be away from electrical power for some time, Replaceable batteries are nice and instantaneous. However, a good, fully-charged NiMH or Lithium-Polymer Battery should hold a charge for several days of hard use. Dogtra Super X has new Lithium-Polymer batteries with fast charger.
    • Sporting dog trainers have more range than pet trainers. Communicating with your dog from a distance is imperative if you need to tell him to return to you for any reason. That is where the "tone-only" "Come" command is invaluable and range matters.
    • Long-distance trainers have longer external antennas on the transmitters. (There are no exposed antennas on the dog's collars any more). Some long-distance trainers have beeper-locaters or you might want to add a beeper to your dog's collar. (Remember that they are sometimes very loud and can rattle a dog that has not worn one before. Be sure to get him used to it much like you would steady him to shot)


    Wetlands Bird Dog Training These collars have more range than pet trainers but less than hound trainers and upland trainers. Cold hands and difficult terrain often lead to dropped transmitters, so a waterproof transmitter is very beneficial.

    Upland Bird Dog Training need more range than waterfowl collars but less than hound trainers. Whether the transmitter needs to be waterproof or not is dictated by the terrain in which you train and hunt. Beepers are very useful for keeping track of pointers.

    Hound Training Systems You will find them at the high end for both distance and dollars. Hounds run very far afield (needing a mile range or better). Hounds often hunt in packs and many hound trainers come with more than one collar to train or control more than one dog at a time. Often used to break dogs of chasing the wrong type of game, most hound collars have average features and larger transmitters. There may not be a need for hundreds of levels of correction, as the dog chasing the wrong game usually needs a fast, fairly severe correction NOW - not much finesse to it. (This can be a life-saver for the dog headed into dangerous terrain or chasing a dangerous animal and is considered a "hot" situation). However, most collars with such long range incorporate more levels of correction anyway. (Dogtra Super X is designed for X-treme training)

    How to Introduce the
    electronic dog collar

    Training should be accomplished at the lowest stimulation level that gets an attention response without causing fear or yipping pain from your dog.

    Start when your dog is young if possible. At whatever age you start, put the electronic dog collar receiver next to your leash. Whenever your dog is about to go for an outing, put his electronic dog collar on him (with reception turned off). In a few days, he will get as excited when he sees the training collar as he does when he sees his leash.

    Your pup should wear his electronic dog collar (turned off) for several days or even weeks before it is actually turned on. This will give him a chance to get used to the feel and weight of the collar over time until he doesn't even remember it is there and to associate it with fun experiences.

    When it is time to begin actually using the electronic dog collar, get your bag of treats and a fetch toy. Bring your dog (wearing his receiver collar but using his leash and regular nylon collar) to your side and ask him to sit. Praise him.

    Without staring at him, begin pushing the button on the absolute lowest stimulation that the collar offers. If your dog seems to feel the tingle and looks up at you, stop the stimulation immediately and give him a treat. Repeat this several times interspersed with a few quick exercises and a couple of fetches. He is learning quickly that if he gives you his attention, he can turn the collar off.

    If he is oblivious, raise the level of stimulation, and try it again. Raise the level until you see him make an obvious sign that he feels it or you see his neck muscle begin to twitch a little. He should look up at you when he feels it (not duck, run, cower, yip or yelp). If any of the bad signs happen, immediately stop the stimulation and move forward in a playful attitude encouraging him to be confident again (as if it were just a minor act of nature like an insect sting that is over in an instant). Give him an opportunity to perform a few simple tasks with treats and then catch the ball or bumper a time or two. Lower the stimulation.

    Start again, this time stopping before the level that caused the problem. With some close observation, you can set the level to the exact spot that gets you his attention without causing pain or trauma.

    Play some more. Retire for another session later. (This procedure should last only about 10 minutes, and you should get his attention a few times and end with playtime)

    Tips For Electronic Dog Training For Companion Dogs
    Learn How electronic dog collars Work, How to Introduce Your Dog to His New Collar, How to Choose the Correct Collar for your situation, about Warranties and Authorized Dealers, and much more.
    Compare Companoin Collar Features

    electronic dog collars are used for problem solving (such as jumping on people, chasing cars, stealing food, avoiding snakes) or for more general training (such as obedience training or hunting dog training). Aggressive behavior is NOT a suitable candidate for electronic collars under any circumstances without a behavior specialist supervising the activity.

    Training should be accomplished at the lowest stimulation level that gets an attention response without causing fear or yipping pain. Your dog should look up at you when he feels the stimulation. His neck muscle might give a small twitch, but no vocalization, lowered ear set, cowering or otherwise showing fear should be apparent. See How to Introduce Your Dog to His electronic dog collar

    Communication/Stimulation Types: Most companion dog electronic dog collars use operator-timed continuous communication. Continuous communication lasts as long as you hold the button down (emergency shut off in about 10 sec). Many have Pager or Tone-Only options, which use only a vibration, buzz or tone to alert, direct, or praise the dog. (Vibration is a great tool for training all dogs, but particularly useful in early stage training, for young dogs, or for deaf dogs). Some have praise tones. Unleashed has an electronic dog collar that uses ONLY adjustable vibration stimulation.

    Levels: The more finesse you have to tailor the stimulation to the exact temperament of your dog and the exact circumstances of the situation, the more quickly your dog will respond and the less chance there is of over-correction. Every dog will need at least a couple of different levels depending on the circumstances. You will find that a dog who performs flawlessly in the back yard will need a higher level of stimulation to get his attention when he is outside his usual environment where distractions are high such as in the park or in the field. He may need a higher level still if he is engaged in a "high adrenaline" state such as when chasing a car, another dog or cat, or honed in on the wrong game. Dogs who are wet will need a lower level of correction due the high conductivity of their wet skin that will channel the full effect directly to them.

    The number of different settings for stimulation and the way to program them is important and completely individual to each manufacturer and to each electronic dog collar in their line.

    Summary: A trained dog is a happy dog with a happy family. Statistics show that the number one reason for abandoning a dog or giving it up for adoption (frequently to be euthanized) is bad behavior. Proper use of all of the training tools available to prevent such a tragedy is the humane option.


    How electronic dog collars Work

    electronic dog collars consist of two parts: A hand-held transmitter that broadcasts a radio signal and a receiver worn on the collar of the dog, which translates the signal into a pulse of some type that impacts the dog's behavior.

    Transmitter Size: The size of the transmitter is important when you must work quickly or under adverse conditions. Smallest are the Innotek FS-15A and FS-25A used for quick, problem solving. Largest are the long range electronic dog collars (usually used for sporting dog training), which (necessarily) must have much more antenna to broadcast a longer distance. Usually smallest means fewer features. Largest means longer distance. We picture each transmitter so that you can get an idea of what type of equipment you will be carrying.

    Receiver Size: Unless you have a very small dog, don't let the receiver size enter into your decisions. Technological advances have finally gotten the size of the receiver down to reasonable dimensions on all electronic dog collars today. Further reductions come at a cost. Smaller receivers have less room for electronics, which reduces their range, battery life, and reliability. However if you have a toy dog, there are two companies that make tiny dog trainers: Innotek and Petsafe.

    Antenna: The transmitter has one. The longer distance it must transmit, the larger the transmitter antenna will be. The receiver worn by the dog has one. Today, all receiver antennas are internal so they will not show and they will not be catching on underbrush.

    Stimulation: Some electronic dog collars have stimulation that starts so low that you can put it on your own skin and not feel discomfort (see Unleashed V-Collars). Some can be turned up very high to really get a stubborn dog's attention, even when he is highly excited or distracted.

    Learning when to use the button, how long to hold it down, and how high the stimulation should be set is a matter of a little education and close observation of your dog. (see training tips)


    How to Introduce the
    electronic dog collar

    Training should be accomplished at the lowest stimulation level that gets an attention response without causing fear or yipping pain from your dog.

    Start when your dog is young if possible. At whatever age you start, put the electronic dog collar receiver next to your leash. Whenever your dog is about to go for an outing, put his electronic dog collar on him (with reception turned off). In a few days, he will get as excited when he sees the training collar as he does when he sees his leash.

    Your pup should wear his electronic dog collar (turned off) for several days or even weeks before it is actually turned on. This will give him a chance to get used to the feel and weight of the collar over time until he doesn't even remember it is there and to associate it with fun experiences.

    When it is time to begin actually using the electronic dog collar, get your bag of treats and a fetch toy. Bring your dog (wearing his receiver collar but using his leash and regular nylon collar) to your side and ask him to sit. Praise him.

    Without staring at him, begin pushing the button on the absolute lowest stimulation that the collar offers. If your dog seems to feel the tingle and looks up at you, stop the stimulation immediately and give him a treat. Repeat this several times interspersed with a few quick exercises and a couple of fetches. He is learning quickly that if he gives you his attention, he can turn the collar off.

    If he is oblivious, raise the level of stimulation, and try it again. Raise the level until you see him make an obvious sign that he feels it or you see his neck muscle begin to twitch a little. He should look up at you when he feels it (not duck, run, cower, yip or yelp). If any of the bad signs happen, immediately stop the stimulation and move forward in a playful attitude encouraging him to be confident again (as if it were just a minor act of nature like an insect sting that is over in an instant). Give him an opportunity to perform a few simple tasks with treats and then catch the ball or bumper a time or two. Lower the stimulation.

    Start again, this time stopping before the level that caused the problem. With some close observation, you can set the level to the exact spot that gets you his attention without causing pain or trauma.

    Play some more. Retire for another session later. (This procedure should last only about 10 minutes, and you should get his attention a few times and end with playtime)
