The Pet-Tech off-leash communication system helps Australian pet owners build reliable obedience and safer recall in real-world environments. In wide open spaces filled with distractions, a remote dog training collar keeps your cues consistent while reinforcing core commands like come, stay, and heel, even at longer distances of up to 800 metres.

Designed for everyday Australian conditions, this dog remote training collar suits small breeds from 4kg through to larger, more determined dogs. It includes three feedback options so you can match the correction style to your dog’s temperament and training stage: an audible tone for attention and positive reinforcement, a tactile vibration for gentle guidance, and 16 adjustable levels of static stimulation to address stubborn habits when lower-level cues are not enough.

Whether your dog sticks close or loves to roam, this off-leash dog training system supports clearer boundaries at home and on walks. It can also help reduce nuisance behaviours like garden digging or barking at the postie, while making off-leash time more controlled and predictable on parks, ovals, and bush trails.

1. Is the remote dog training collar safe for my puppy?

A remote dog training collar can be safe for puppies once they are around 6 months old, weigh at least 4 kg, and already understand basic commands like sit and stay. Start with tone or vibration training first and keep sessions short, calm, and reward-based. The goal is clear communication, not punishment, so always use the lowest effective setting. If your puppy is anxious, very small, or still learning leash manners, consult a qualified trainer before introducing any e-collar training tools.

2. Is the collar waterproof or only splash-proof?

Collars rated IP67 are dust-tight and designed to handle rain, puddles, and brief submersion, making them a reliable waterproof dog training collar for outdoor use. Before wet activities, confirm the port cover is sealed and the collar is fitted securely so it doesn’t shift. After water exposure, rinse off salt or grit, then dry the unit fully before charging. Avoid charging if the contacts or port area are damp.

3. Can I use one remote to train more than one dog?

Yes, many Pet-Tech models let one remote pair with up to three collars, allowing you to switch between channels for individual control. This is ideal for households wanting a multi-dog training collar setup without juggling multiple remotes. Train each dog separately at first so they understand the cues, then practise together once basics are consistent. Keep collar settings personalised for each dog’s temperament and sensitivity.

4. Will the static stimulation hurt my dog?

Static stimulation is designed to feel like a mild tapping or tingling sensation that grabs attention, not something intended to cause pain. With multiple adjustable levels, you can set the collar to the lowest level your dog notices, and many dogs respond well to tone or vibration alone. Use static only when necessary and always pair it with a clear command and immediate praise when your dog complies. If your dog shows fear, stress, or shuts down, stop and reassess your training plan.

5. How do I know if the collar is fitted correctly?

For reliable remote collar training, the contact points must sit flat against the skin, so the collar should be snug enough that you can fit one finger underneath. Position it high on the neck, just below the jaw, and rotate placement slightly during longer sessions to help prevent irritation. If your dog has a thick coat, use the appropriate contact points so the signal isn’t blocked by fur. Remove the collar during rest periods and avoid leaving it on for extended hours to protect your dog’s skin.
