can be separated in 2-main categories. Trainers that are used by Companion Pet Owners and the Sportsman/Professional trainer. There are a few characteristics that separate these dog owners.
Static Correction: This is a static electric pulse that most always is adjustable as a method of applying a corrective command to a dog's behavior. Some models boast of a "stubborn dog" setting, which simply means that this correction is more intense.
Pager Vibration: Functions as an attention stimulus that uses vibration rather than static correction, , enabling you to communicate with your dog in more varied situations. Customers often comment that they will use this feature more often and as a permanent method of working with their dog, where a trainer that only uses stic correction may not be appropriate.).
Most all dog owners give this feature extremely high marks as being efficient, effective and is viewed as a humane long term communication aid. Dogtra remote trainers are the only models to offer the pager-vibration feature.
Tones: Some remote trainers will use tones (Sometimes labeled as "good" and "negative" tones) for dog communication. The idea is that varying tone pitches can communicate with the dog to reinforce or curb behavior. This feature is a common characteristic of many Innotek and SportDog models. Customers have a mixed view of this mode of stimulus as it can be confusing if you are working with more than one dog in close proximity to each other. It also can have varied results depending on the situation at hand, ie., environment and actual activity the dog is involved in.
Beeper: The beeper option is specially designed for the Sportsman/Hunter.
