How the System Works

Now you can experience the difference a Remote Trainer can make. Spend less time training and more time enjoying your dog. The PetSafe

The Remote Trainer assists you in controlling your pet without a leash in a range of up to 75 yards. At the push of a button, your Handheld Remote sends a signal activating your dog’s Receiver Collar. He receives a safe but annoying stimulation. He’ll quickly learn the association between his behavior and your correction; in no time, you’ll have a better-behaved pet. The PetSafe and effective for both small and large dog breeds.

Using the Remote Trainer consistently and correctly, any basic obedience commands can be taught and many misbehaviors that your pet exhibits can be corrected.

Important: The Basic Remote Trainer has a range of up to 75 yards. Hold the Handheld Remote in a horizontal position away from your body to achieve optimum range. Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.
