Check Out Tri-tronics

When it comes to electronic training collars, Tri-Tronics is a name you can trust. Their Sport Dog line of collars can effectively train your hunting dog so that he can become a good partner to you when you hunt. Also, these Tri-Tronics collars can help your dog hone his natural abilities to hunt.

Tri-Tronics Collars

Correcting inappropriate behavior or changing bad behavior into good can be done using sport dog collars. Even in water, Tri-Tronics sporting dog collars work well, with waterproof receivers and transmitters—so even the rain won’t slow you down. With ten different levels of intensity, a lightweight transmitter, and instant feedback when your dog behaves inappropriately, Tri-Tronics spor dog collars make training faster, easier, and more humane.

Tri-Tronics Sport Basic Collar

The Tri-Tronics Sport Basic Dog Collar is the most advanced when it comes to Tri-Tronics dog collar technology. Just like the above model and many other dog collars, the transmitter is designed to deliver as many as ten levels of stimulation for training purposes. However, it is more durable than other dog training collars in the respect that it is made using the same material as bulletproof glass. You can still expect waterproof transmitters and receivers with this type of dog collar. Very durable and effective in training your dog, this Tri-Tronics technology may be just right for your hunting or sporting dog.

How to Use Tri-Tronics Sport

Using these high tech collars couldn’t be easier. In addition to the stimulation they give as feedback for your dog, using voice commands to train your dog to respond with or without the collar is important. Understanding that it takes time to train any dog, regardless of whether the training is for at home or hunting in the field, is important. Your dog will need to become familiar with not just your commands, but the sound of your voice. Voice commands should always take precedence over the collar’s stimulation, especially in the beginning. This gets your dog used to hearing you and your command words and phrases. The collar should be used after the dog has refused or ignored your command. Every firm “no” should be accompanied by a stimulation from the collar to reinforce the negative associated with the bad behavior. Before long, the word “no” is all that’s needed.

Being effective with your dog training collar also requires that you understand the basic instincts for hunting your dog has and use those to your advantage. While instinct gets your dog started, careful and patient training is what hones the skills needed to make an effective companion on the hunt. Combining your commands, the dog training collar, and patience will pay off in a well-trained dog. Use the lowest level of stimulation first and move up in intensity as you learn your dogs reactions, finding the proper level for your dog. Every dog is different and size alone isn’t the only factor in deciding how much to use. If you’ve got a Tri-Tronics electronic dog collar, you’re sure to do well regardless of what kind of dog you have.
