Remote Collar for GSD

[CoCotheGSD]

Hey guys new to this forum and joined due to wanting help choosing a remote collar for my GSD.

Thinking the people who use them most would be the best to ask especially when your dealing with highly motivated dogs that are more stubborn.

I have a petsafe bigdog remote collar.....my bitch Coco will recognise it when settled but any form of excitment or distraction and it does nothing even on full.

So I am looking towards a Dogtra 2300ncp.

Is this a good collar?

distance is not an issue as she is rarely more than 100m away from me, one that can be used in water(are these available?) would be a bonus.

But mostly needs to have a fair amount of stimulation behind it as she is complete deutch and czech working lines and seems to have a very high threshold to stimulation.

Any advice would be great guys.

I am a Tri tronics user. When I was working with the Schutzhund club, that was our go to collar. So, I would look for the basic Tri tronics 90. It is a good collar and doesnthave all the bells and whistles that you wont need. But tri tronics has merged into garmin, so you may have to go to the tri tronics pro 550.

You HAVE to show me a picture of her. I do miss my dogs. I had one from czech lines and WGW lines. It makes me sick to see how the GSD is looking here in the States now.

Hope this helps a bit.

thanks for the reply guys,

I like the tri tronics but cant seem to find a dealer in australia and also the remote is overly large for my liking.

I have just ordered the Dogtra 1900 and have a 60 day performance guarantee

Here are some pics 6 months old currently full working lines and been crate trained and trained for loud scenarios from young sitting with me on my harley in garage at 12 weeks in pools from then also ect in city through a friends night club shes great now

I too have a shutzhund background and sadly I have to tell you that it's no longer just the American lines that are looking like something Frankenstein came up with. Had a guy bring me a German imported dog to do some personal protection work about 2 years ago and that dog was built like a triangle.

I actually watched a police show and the K-9 was an arse dragger....Very sad what is becoming of the breed.

very nice dog. Have you checked out the Leerburg website? They have some top notch trainer with videos on Marker training, positive training and focused obedience training. Most videos are done with Mals, but you will get the idea.

yea there is alot of bad bredding now and "protection dogs" that I would call more of a "deterrent" as they only bark but when it comes down to it they run.

Thankfully I have a good mate who trains alot of dogs for goverment and police but doesnt use remote collars for his training so couldnt help me with that info. but he gets dogs on bite easily inhouse and street scenarios with hidden sleeves and also personally selected this dog for me so she should be good
