Training Questions asked by our customers
( Technical questions below )

Q - How big must my dog have to be to wear the collar?
A - The dog should weigh at least 8 pounds. The Deluxe Little dog trainer is designed for dogs weighing up to 30 lbs. The Deluxe Big dog trainer is for dogs weighing more than 30 lbs.

Q - Can I use the collar to train my dog to obedience commands?
A - Yes, this is one of the most popular uses for this training system.

Q - My dog does not know any obedience commands, should I use the collar as a starting point?
A - This system is never a starting point. A dog should know the basics first. These systems are meant as an aid in training.

Q - Will the correction hurt my dog?
A - No. The correction is safe, harmless and humane.

Q - Can I use the collar to teach my dog yard boundaries?
A - Yes, but it is not as effective as the Radio Fence - due to the fences' physical boundary. In order to accomplish this feat with a remote trainer, you would need to "catch the dog in the act" each and every time he attempts to escape. For this purpose, you should consider the Deluxe Fence.

Q - Can I use the collar to prevent my dog from jumping on people?
A - Yes, but you have to be careful that the dog does not associate the correction with the person.

Q - Can I use the collar to stop my dog from being aggressive?
A - No. This system should never be used with any type of aggressive behavior. For this type of behaviour you should contact a Professional Dog Trainer to work with you.

Q -  I am going to use the collar to teach my dog the "come" command. Should I use a long leash at first?
A - Always. This will help you guide the dog into the appropriate behavior.

Q - Can I use the collar to control barking?
A - Yes, but only when you are present. For this purpose, we recommend the Deluxe Bark Collar.

Technical Questions asked by our customers

Q - Why is my Trainer set to level five instead of level one?
A - That is preset by RSC. But you can adjust the level of correction with your control unit by holding down the "P" button until your reach the level you want.

Q - What are the white dots for?
A - They are to align the unit up for activation.

Q - Is the receiver waterproof?
A - Yes the receiver is, but the transmitter is not.

Q - Where can I find batteries for my Trainer?
A - The batteries can be found at the local stores that carry our product lines or at most retail stores that sell cameras. The batteries are 2 3-volt Lithium discs # 2032 in the receiver and a single 9-volt Alkaline battery for the transmitter.

Q - What is the range of the unit?
A - The unit can operate up to approximately 100 yards ( 300 feet ) in open terrain. We recommend this unit for basic training within reasonable close proximity ie: fornt yard, back yard - small parks. Depending upon terrain, a more reliable 50-60 yards is to be expected.
If you require a longer range trainer ( 150 yds, 300 yds or more ) please
