A remote dog trainer lets you deliver a cue from a handheld transmitter. Compare the cue options you plan to use, the rated range and the exact compatible receiver before choosing a kit. Rated range is a model specification; terrain and obstructions can affect the usable distance.
Compare collar-based systems by rated range
- 90 m: PetSafe Basic PDT10-18035 for shorter-distance training. Check collar fit and controls.
- 300 m: PetSafe Core PDT10-18037 or PetSafe Pro PDT10-18039. Match the additional receiver to the exact Core or Pro model.
- 700 m: SportDOG 825X SD-825X-E. Pair with the SDR-AXF-E receiver.
- 1,600 m: SportDOG 1825X SD-1825X-E. Pair with the SDR-AX-E receiver.
When a receiver collar is not needed
The PetSafe Collarless Ultrasonic Dog Trainer is handheld and sends a sound cue; the PetSafe Teach & Treat dispenses a reward remotely. Neither is an add-on receiver for a remote collar system.
