How the System Works
The PetSafe Remote Trainer has been proven safe, comfortable, and effective for all pets over 8
pounds. This system assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range up to 100 yards.
At the push of a button, the Remote Transmitter sends a signal, activating the Receiver Collar.
Using the Remote Trainer consistently and correctly, many misbehaviors that your pet exhibits can
be corrected or any basic obedience commands can be taught.
