Overview
Built for training in the yard, the field, or during close-working hunts, this collar system gives handlers a straightforward way to reinforce commands at distances up to 500 yards. It offers 21 levels of low and medium stimulation, along with vibration and tone options, so the correction can be matched to the dog’s temperament and the situation. The no-look operation and included training materials make it practical for consistent use, while the waterproof, submersible design and rechargeable batteries support regular work in wet or demanding conditions. It is intended for dogs 8 pounds and heavier with neck sizes from 5" to 22", and can be expanded for up to three dogs with additional receiver collars.

Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for close-working dogs, the 500-yard range may be more than needed for simple yard training and does not replace hands-on handling.
- The collar is intended for dogs 8 lbs. or heavier with neck sizes from 5" to 22", so it is not a fit for smaller dogs or very large neck sizes outside that range.
- The system supports up to 3 dogs only with additional Add-A-Dog receiver collars, which are sold separately.
- Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are included, but runtime is listed at approximately 50–70 hours per charge, so charging planning matters for extended use.
