 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

"Intended for dogs over 8 pounds, the SportDog 1825 series dog training collars (black and camouflage) receive our top ranking, not only because nearly 90% of online reviews rated it very favorably in 2011, but also because of it's 1 MILE TRAINING RANGE! - doubling the range of most other reasonably priced remote training collars priced under $300". (Note: signal range may vary according to conditions)

The SD-1825 1 Mile remote trainer, regardless of whether its the SportDog SD-1825-Camo Wetland Hunter (camouflage) or the SD-1825 SportDog Sport Hunter (black), represents two of the best training collars for dogs that we have studied. The SD-1825 remote training collars are incredibly versatile and widely used by a wide range of dog handlers, including pet owners, obedience trainers, and hunters.

This training collar series is excellent whether in the backyard or in an open field. That makes it a perfect choice for the everyday dog owner who likes to take their dog for walks in wide open spaces, or for hunters who want to teach their dogs how to hunt, as it has a 1 mile range. What's great about the SD-1825 is that it is made with the outdoors in mind, as it is waterproof and submersible.

The device has up to 16 stimulus levels of correction (8 levels of continuous stimulation and 8 levels of momentary stimulation) so you can modify the settings according to the comfort level of your pet. It also has both vibration and tone options even for long distance, so you can choose which method of training will work best for your dog. The SD-1825 also comes with DVDs to help you learn how to use this dog training collar safely and effectively.

There are quite a few dog training collars on the market that you can use when training your dogs, but we've found one of the best ones to be the SportDog SD-400S Field Trainer for Stubborn Dogs. This state of the art remote dog training collar is designed with the most stubborn dogs in mind. It is light and durable so it provides convenience both for the dog and the trainer.

What are its key features?

SportDog SD-400S has a few key features that make it stand out from other training collars for dogs. For one, this remote dog trainer is made with waterproof materials to increase its level of durability. This allows the trainer to train the dog even on wet areas without having to worry about damage on the device. At the same time, the receiver attached on the remote training collar is very small that it does not give any discomfort for the dog. It also has adjustable settings so that it can receive transmitted signals easily and more effectively without the need of an antenna. 

Aside from that, SD-400S remote dog trainer also has 8 levels of brief stimulation along with 16 levels of constant stimulation. This feature allows the trainer to increase the level of stimulation with ease depending on the level of disobedience of the dog. Such intensity of stimulation definitely helps soften the behavior of even the toughest and most stubborn canine thus, making the training easier and faster.

As a remote dog trainer, SD-400S is also capable of controlling 2 to 3 dogs at a time. It has an Add-A-Dog feature that allows the remote to send stimulation signals to more collars. Such feature makes it easier for the trainer to train more dogs at a time, making the job a breeze.

Remote Training Collar Review:

Rated 4.2 out of 5 stars

"This product is intended for dogs that are at least 10 pounds. The Dogtra IQ 400 received excellent reviews from approx. 90% of online customers in our spring, 2011 online research. However, we only found 11 reviews at the time of our research on this collar, so we felt that the small sampling keeps us from rating this training collar even higher than #4. But so far, the feedback on this collar is excellent - possibly top 2 or top 3 material - if not #1!"

The Dogtra IQ 400 yard remote training collar has the tagline "a small e-collar for a big problem", which is perfectly fitting for the device.

It also has a non-stimulating (vibrating) pager so you can choose what system to use on your dog training collar in order to help your dog go through behavior modification training. The Dogtra IQ remote dog dog shock collar is also waterproof and water-resistant, and a fashionable two-tone case adds protection to the unit.

As such, the Dogtra IQ dog training collar does everything involved in pet training practically single-handedly to help you teach your small and medium sized dogs to avoid bad habits.

There is this notion among certain circles of dog-owners that a remote dog training collar can cause serious harm to their pets. The truth about the matter is that it all depends on the type of remote dog training collar that you would use. The best option is to choose a dog training collar, like the PetSafe PDT00-12470 Yard-and-Park Remote Trainer,  that has a range of options (this one has 8 levels of corrective options to choose from), depending on the temperament of your dog. .

The whole point about using a remote training collar is to imbibe on your dog's mind the right actions. This remote dog training collar can be very helpful in instilling discipline in your pet. However, this is only true when the device is used responsibly. A lot of basic commands such as come, sit, stay, and heel can be taught to your dog with the help of this device. It can also be used to correct your pets unsavory behavior. If your dog is stubborn about learning, you can then increase the intensity of the correction.

In choosing a remote training collar, there are many factors that you need to consider. The most common factors are the range and of course, the flexibility. It is best to choose one that has the longest range so you can have control even on long distances. The PetSafe PDT00-12470 Yard and Park Trainer has good range (up to 400 yards), and as mentioned, a good amount of corrective options, too.
