The All-In-One Tool Every Dog Owner Needs
Posted by The SportDOG StaffWe know there are several tools available to help with training. From e-collars, to In-Ground Fence™ systems, and bark collars … it takes a lot of tools to train and manage a dog.
The below scenarios further illustrate just how many tools it can take for proper training.
1) Boundary Training
This is achieved with an In-Ground Fence™ system. Some things you will need/receive are flags (boundary markers), Collar Receiver and Add-A-Dog® Collar Receiver, depending on how many dogs you have, and fence Transmitter. You don’t need a Remote Transmitter to boundary train your dog. This training is most suitable for individuals who want to teach their dog not to leave a certain area while outdoors.
2) General Training
Whether you want to train your dog to retrieve a bird or simply have him/her sit when given the command, an e-collar can assist you. The ability to make a correction immediately can really speed up the training process. Having an e-collar set up allows you to maintain control of the dog at all times, on or off leash.
3) Hunting
When you are out hunting with your dog, the major key to success is communication. How do you communicate with a dog that’s on a long retrieve and voice/whistle commands become ineffective? You probably don't want to run after them through a field screaming, although you may have before. This is the perfect place for an e-collar system.
Now, wouldn’t it be nice if you could purchase just one system that functions as a boundary trainer, an in-yard trainer and a communication tool when hunting or afield?
The SportDOG Brand® Contain + Train™ is the exact tool that’s needed. It eliminates the need for multiple pieces of equipment to train your dog. The Contain + Train includes an In-Ground Fence™ system that spans 100 acres and comes with a Collar Receiver and Remote Transmitter. The e-collar and Remote Transmitter function both inside and outside of the boundary and have a range of 500 yards. This system was designed to work with multiple existing models of SportDOG Brand Remote Transmitters, so chances are, the SportDOG® products you already own will work with the Contain + Train™.
Now you can rely on just one tool for boundary training, general training, or hunting.
