Looking for remote collar?

Innotek and "works" don't go in the same sentence together. I have about $400 worth of that garbage sitting in a drawer - useless. I would never buy or recommend it.

If you want a collar that works, get a Dogtra. I use the 200 NCP and am very happy with it. If i recall correctly, Curtis usually recommends the one that is a step above that. Given the choice to buy again I would buy that slightly better one, but since you're not even going to use the stim on it, I kinda doubt that matters. (I also don't imagine you would need more than 1/2 mile range). If you don't want to used the stim, unscrew the contacts on the collar. The "page" mode on the collars is nice and strong and I have been using mine for years without so much as a glitch in performance.

The Dogtra collars don't have a tone (which I actually prefer) and from my experience no tone on a collar is going to help you find a dog, it's just not that loud. However, they do work, which is more than I can say for the Innotek products I 've used.

They say it's no longer made. They recommend buying used. Which, given the quality I have seen from Innotek, sounds to me like a bad plan. (when the collars *I* bought and had a receipt for stopped working, all Innotek wanted to do for me was give me a discount on a new collar - nice)

Innotek Smart Dog Advanced Professional Trainer (SD-300A) includes a shock element in it. It is also possibly no long available. Gentle Trainer (model GT-1) may be the better fix for your dog.

To train my dog I get a handful of kibbles and give him one each time he does something I want and keep saying good boy good *blank*.

If you are looking for used, I would suggest you take a look at http://www.collarclinic.com/ on their main page on the left there is a link to reconditioned collars and they have a warranty.

I am in no way affiliated with them nor have I used them, it's at least worth a look and if you called they might be able to help you out even more with their own suggestions.

I think those type of collars are just a way for a particular business to make money and very dumb.

What you should do is read up on how to get the dog's attention some other way. Vibrations and/or

shockwaves are not useful. I have a partial deaf Pomeranian and he and I get along just fine. I wait for his attention to be on me and "we" take it from there. If it was a life or death situation, I would just pick up my

pet and wisk him and me away from the danger. My Pom understands my hand signals that we invented

together and we converse just fine. Of course, there is always room for improvement, but, pain is not in

my game plan.

If he or she was not hearing disabled, then Clicker Training, would be a good choice.

Good Luck.

i would contact http://www.innotek.net/ and find out the info there.
