Your Questions About Dog Training Collars

Thomas asks…

How do I extend the range of a wireless transmitter?

I have a dog training shock/vibrating collar. While training dogs I use it to curb bad habits, problem is it’s supposed to have a one mile range, but in reality it only seems to work from about 30 feet, is there a way to boost my signal? Can I get or build a stronger antenna or something?

admin answers:

It’s a sign, that you should train dogs in a more appropriate manner.

Daniel asks…

Can I use 120v power adapter in Australia?

I bought a Petsafe remote dog training collar from Ebay (America) but I live in Australia. On the power adapter/charger it says the input 120v Output 9vdc 6.5w. Australia’s power supply is 240v. Can I just plug it into an Australian power point? I have the plug converter but not a power converter.

admin answers:

NO. It will burn out. Might even burn up.

You need a transformer-type voltage converter. Try Dick Smith Electronics.

Another possibility (also at DSE) is to get a 9vdc adapter, 1 amp or so capacity, that will run from 240 volts. It’ll be much cheaper. (second link)

Lisa asks…

What is the difference between Dog Training Collars & Dog Tracking Collars?

Looking for difference between dog training and Dog tracking collars…..

admin answers:

A dog Training collar is used to assist in teaching your dog certain behaviors. Choke chains, head collars, shock collars, and grip collars are all used to modify your dog’s behavior (either positively or negatively) or gain control over a particularly stubborn, strong, or possibly dangerous dog.

A Tracking collar helps locate your dog in the event it gets lost, and some even consider reflective collars tracking collars, as they help locate and identify your dog, whether you’re just out walking at night, hunting, or he gets lost amid a group of dogs that look similar. 🙂

Hope this clears things up!!
