Comfort Fit Big Dog Trainer
From LoveToKnow Dogs
If you're looking for a training aid to help manage your big dog's behavior, the Comfort Fit Big Dog Trainer collar is one option to consider.
Why Choose the Comfort Fit Big Dog Trainer?
Training any size dog can be challenging, especially for canine owners who aren't dog behavior experts. The larger the dog, the more important it is for you to establish the behaviors you want and discourage the ones you don't. The judicious use of training aids can help you do just that.
Especially designed for dogs over 40 pounds, the Comfort Fit dog training collar is designed to give you more control over your dog, especially when he's off lead, and it's effective as far as 100 yards away.
How Does the Trainer Work?
This electronic dog training collar works via a transmitter and a receiver. The receiver is attached to the dog collar, and the person training the canine operates the transmitter. Activating the receiver simply requires the push of a button.
You have the option of setting the receiver to emit either a tone or an electrostatic stimulation when you push the button. The idea behind both stimuli is to interrupt and discourage unwanted behaviors. There are ten different levels of stimulation, but you should always begin with the lowest setting and only dial up to the next higher setting if your dog doesn't respond to the stimulus. The idea is to find the lowest effective setting your dog will respond to. Over stimulation is not only unproductive, it can actually cause mental harm to your pet.
Use With Caution
Many pet owners are concerned about using electrical stimulation as a dog training aid. It's important to understand that this training collar is safe when operated responsibly. The electrostatic charge is comparable to the static poke you might feel if you walked on a carpet and then touched a metal object. It's a bit disturbing, but not dangerous. Of the two stimuli available, the static charge is preferable to the sonic correction because some dogs will later react to similar sounds heard from pagers and cell phones.
Furthermore, while this dog training collar can be an effective training aid for many big dogs, it's important to note that some dogs should never be exposed to any type of shock stimulation collar. Canines with known anxiety issues that display aggressive and/or fearful behavior should never be trained in this manner. Rather than help eliminate unwanted behavior, the collar can actually make them worse. Therefore, consider carefully whether you should use this device on your dog.
Product Features
The Comfort Fit Big Dog Trainer is easy to put on your dog. The closure has a quick release feature, making it easy to put on and take off. It adjusts easily to fit the neck of any dog 40 pounds and over.
The collar and receiver are also weatherproof, and both are designed to be very durable. The transmitter is also weatherproof. Made by Pet Safe, a leading manufacturer of dog training aids, the collar is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Dog Training Tip
The key to effective dog training, no matter what type of training aid you use, is consistency. When you use your remote training device correctly and consistently, you should quickly see an improvement in your canine companion's behavior. Whether your dog has a long history of resisting your best training efforts or you simply want to discourage nuisance barking, using this collar just might shorten the amount of time it takes to train your pet.
