Hints and Tips No. 11 Make Sure Your Remote Training Collar has all the Features You Want!
At Bark Control we have recently noticed a lot of customers looking to buy a Dog Training Collar after having already purchased one that did not allow them to upgrade down the track as their needs changed.
For example many farmers or hunters prefer a dog training collar where extra collars can be added down the track. Some brands do not offer this and you are required to buy a whole new e-collar system. Other brands allow you to add another training collar whenever you like at a fraction of the price. The SportDog SD 1825 allows you to expand out to 6 dogs. Adding another collar whenever you like.
The moral is to check into the remote training collar you are thinking of buying, before outlaying any of your hard earned!! As we always say at Bark Control, "Don't hesitate to call. We're here to help!"
"Thank you too for the great support you and your team at Bark Control provide. You are an example of how all businesses should operate, which I guess flows from your experience and confidence in the products you sell."

Unless otherwise stated all Containment Systems come with 150metres of boundary wire. You will need to add extra boundary kits (wire, training flags and joiners) if the area you need to cover exceeds the amount of wire that comes with your kit. You may also need to add extra wire if you move to a larger block any time in the future.
The table below provides a guide as to how much wire you will need:

* this figure reresents extra boundary kits on top of the 150m that is included with most containment systems. Check the wire included with the system that you are purchasing and make any necessary adjustments. If you are moving an existing system to another property and need to rewire the new property add one extra kit to the total number.
The above figures are a guide only, based on a standard area containment. Note the distance from the transmitter out to the boundary fence will also play a part in determining the overall wire required. If you wish to add gardens, dams, chook pens etc to your overall layout plan, extra wire will be required.
