Considerations & Trade-offs
- Designed for dogs 8 lbs. or heavier, so it may be more collar than needed for very small dogs or for handlers working with lighter training requirements.
- The higher static stimulation range is intended for more stubborn or high-energy dogs, which means it may be more than some dogs need for basic obedience work.
- Range is listed up to 500 yards, so it is built for close-working hunting and training rather than long-distance field control.
- Expanding the system to three dogs requires additional Add-A-Dog receiver collars, which are sold separately.
