Comparison of Companion Dog TrainersCompanion dog training collars are usually used in closer proximity such as urban settings in yards, parks, and larger enclosed areas such as school grounds. Transmitter size is often smaller and more convenient. Distance is in yards instead of miles. While their features are slightly more limited than high-end sporting dog collars, they are considerably less expensive and often easier to learn to use. | | | Dogtra Electronic Dog Training CollarsDogtra Companion Dog Trainers are the sturdiest of the electronic dog training collars on the market. They combine the advantages of nearly limitless levels of correction with sturdy, hand-held transmitters and simplicity of adjustment. |  |

- Dogtra Electronic Dog Training Collars have rheostat dials that "dial up" the intensity of the correction and have infinite levels to make fine-tuning precise. The rheostat is right on the top of the transmitter and is easy to work with cold hands or in a hurry.
- All have a vibration pager built in to signal your dog when to return to you or to guide his movement.
