One of the main benefits of working with a remote trainer collar is that trainer can immediately send a signal to the dog`s unwanted or undesirable behavior at a distance far greater than what leash training allows.

Here are some important things to consider before buying a remote trainer.

Multiple Stimulation Levels
Remote hand-held transmitter must have the flexibility to match the stimulation level to your dog's temperament. Stimulation intensity level must also be appropriate to the size of your dog. Larger dogs need a high stimulation to follow and obey your commands while a small collar, your dog may not respond from the radio frequency if the stimulation is too weak. Most remote trainer collars now clearly indicate what size of dog the training collar is intended for.

There are two forms of stimulation available on the market today. First is the continuous stimulation. This method of correction delivers an electronic stimulation to the dog as long as the button is pressed from the hand-held remote transmitter. The second form is the momentary stimulation or sometimes called "nick". The dog will only receive a short electronic stimulation within seconds. Auto shutoff features are also available on some remote transmitter.

Range
Generally speaking, the more range, the better. Effective range of an electronic remote trainer can vary according to terrain, environmental and line of sight conditions. If you are training your dog in the field, it is recommended to have a long range training collar so the transmitter can still produce a reliable strong signal when if its needed. However, if you are only doing a basic yardwork obedience training, the 150 to 300 yard range is more than enough.

Handheld Transmitter Design
The transmitter should be small enough to carry in your pocket. Manufacturers make transmitters that small and lightweight. However, dog trainers have their own personal preferences but the main feature to be considered is the resistance. Some handheld transmitters are waterproof, water resistant, and rugged punishment tested.

Integrated Collar Design
Remote pet training collar should have intelligent engineering with internal antenna to avoid being caught up from the dog's body. And of course, waterproof collars are highly recommended if you intend to train your dog in our around the water.

Manufacturers & Retailers
Buy only from manufacturers and retailers that provide excellent product support. I highly recommend two of the finest manufacturers (Innotek and Pet Safe). I also suggest that you purchase remote training collars from Pet Street Mall, the fastest growing internet site with a variety of available pet products that has been online since 2001. Other notable retailers are Innotek Direct, Mutt Mart, KCKaylas Pet Supplies and America Outdoor.
