Remote TrainersSo, you made it to the remote trainer's page. You are at least curious about them or you wouldn't be here. Seriously Dogs offers top quality remote training collars for sale and for rent. However, let's look a little more in-depth at the myths and misconceptions that surround remote trainers before you scroll down to see what we offer. So many people voice their frustrations about their dog's behaviours to us. Almost every day, Kathy and I hear the same story; "My dog ran away from me and wouldn't come back. I had to chase him all over and finally someone grabbed him for me. He knows what I want him to do! Why won't he listen to me?" First it is important to realize that dogs need proper training and leadership. Once this has been established (our Beginners Obedience course will give you the skills you need to achieve this), dogs become much easier to live with and handle. This doesn't mean that they will be perfect when off their leash. Most dogs know the difference between off-leash and on-leash. They will obey when they are on the leash but the moment the leash comes off, their ears begin to malfunction. This malfunction of the ear can cause real distress for the loving dog owner, who is now in a panic because the dog won't obey commands. Dog's that refuse to obey trained commands can end up injuring themselves, someone else or even worse....DEAD. Myth # 1 - Remote Training Collars are Cruel. Probably the most prevalent myth about remote training collars is that they are cruel and inhumane. Quite simply this is not true. Remote training collars are very safe and very effective when used in the right manner. When people think "shock collar" it evokes visions of 120 volt electric shocks like that out of a household outlet or the electric stimulation of a cattle fence. This is not farther from the truth. The stimulation from a remote trainer is a static charge like the shock you get from rubbing your feet on the floor and touching a door knob. The idea is communication with your dog, not necessisarily to make the stimulation painful. When using a remote training collar you work the dog at the lowest stimulation level that the dog responds to. When stimulated you want to create a look of curiosity as if the dog were saying "Hey, what was that?" Through conditioning, the dog learns that you are in control of the stimulation and that it is applied as a consequence to inappropriate behaviours, such as disobeying trained commands. Myth #2 - Remote Training Collars Can Burn a Dog's Neck The stimulation that remote training collars are capable of outputting is NOT high enough to physically burn a dog even if it is set on the highest level for a long period of time. This myth does come from the following problem: When a remote training collar is not fit properly, the probes have the potential to rub back and forth wearing hair away and potentially leaving a friction mark on the dogs skin. Everyone has had a blister or rub mark from shoes that didn't fit. It is the same concept with the collar. So many people are afraid of the unknown and condemn remote training collars as a result of pure ignorance. When used properly with a proper training program they are, in my personal opinion, one of the best, if not the best, training tool available on the market. The result is a dog that can be trusted to be free and off-leash. How can being able to trust your dog to obey command so he can have the freedom to run and play without the worry of losing him be a bad thing? Truly, we encourage you to come down to the shop and physically feel the stimulation of a remote trainer. ***Note: Seriously Dogs Inc. will not sell a remote training collar to anyone who has not completed our Beginners Obedience training course. We reserve the right not to sell remote training collars to individuals who we feel have not properly trained their dog or put in the required time and effort it takes to obedience train their dog.*** Dogtra Remote Training Systems  Dogtra eF-3000 Containment System $355 Our Dogtra e-fencing system is a great way to allow your dog the freedom to roam your property without the expense of a traditional fence that can be dug under, jumped over or chewed through.
