Receiver Trainer
Dog Trainers : What do you think of a “radio receiver” dog collar ?
Will it work ? Will a dog respond to a command even of they dont see their owner ?
I have seen the device you are talking about a couple of days a go and it is still in the experimental stages. I do not have an opinion on them yet because they have not been tried. The concept is the same as the electric collar that I have been using for 20 years and works great with all dogs. The collar you refer to is also an E collar, with a radion in it that has programmed commands. I do not think it will be a big hit since it is not you talking. The dog must still learn and be proofed before you do anything else with it. Proofing requires corrections. Once the dog knows a command he should be able to do it regardless of where he is in relation to you. That does not mean that you are at work and the dog is at home. You must both be in the same general vicinity.
