Dogtrace d-control 1042 is a set of 2 electronic training collars suitable for all dog breeds. The collar emits an acoustic signal and you can use a light signal to locate the dog in the dark. Unlike most d-control collars, model 1042 does not emit electric stimulation impulses, but vibrations. In open terrain, the collar has a range of up to 1 km. It comes with a plastic transport case.
The collar has several different modes: 8 light modes and 5 different types of vibrations. The light modes are not intended for giving commands. Such signalling would be too demanding for the dog. Dogs sensitive to electric impulses or deaf dogs get an opportunity for another training aid. Using different types of vibrations, you can teach the dog correct commands.
The collar will greatly simplify training and at the same time you can not only teach the dog, but also eliminate bad habits. It is recommended for basic training only. The manufacturer does not recommend using vibrations for correcting undesirable behaviour, because in most cases they are not sufficient. The dog can easily and quickly learn to walk to heel off-leash, come when called and, if your dog is responsive, even interrupt undesirable activities.
The collar is also waterproof, so you do not need to worry if your dog jumps into the water. Handling is very simple. The collar has a black and red adjustable woven strap 75 cm long, on which the receiver is placed. The receiver also emits an acoustic signal, light and vibrations. The receiver weighs only 55 g and is powered by one CR2 3V battery.
The control is also very simple. The transmitter has 8 buttons, one for turning on and off, one for emitting the acoustic signal, one for sending vibrations, one for the light function, and others for selecting the level of vibration and light. With buttons 1 and 2 you can switch between two different dogs. One transmitter therefore controls two different collars. The transmitter weighs only 88 g and is powered by two AA batteries. Battery life can reach up to 1 year depending on how often the collar is used.
