Collar Dogtrace d-control 1040

Dogtrace d-control 1040 is an electronic training collar suitable for all dog breeds. The collar emits an acoustic signal, and to locate the dog in the dark you can use the light signal. Unlike most d-control collars, model 1040 does not emit electric stimulation impulses, but vibrations. In open terrain the collar has a range of up to 1 km. It is supplied together 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 the opportunity to use another training aid. By using different types of vibrations you can teach the dog correct commands.

The collar will make training much easier for you and at the same time you can not only teach the dog, but also unlearn bad habits. It is recommended for use only for basic training. The manufacturer does not recommend vibrations for correcting unwanted behaviour, because in most cases they are not sufficient. The dog can easily and quickly learn to walk to heel without a lead, come when called and, if you have a receptive dog, also interrupt unwanted activities.

The collar is also waterproof, so you do not have to worry if your dog jumps into the water. Handling it is very simple. The collar has an adjustable woven black 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 a single CR2 3V battery.

The controls are also very simple. There are 8 buttons on the transmitter, one of which is used to switch it on and off, one to emit an acoustic signal, one to send vibrations, one for the light function and the others to select the vibration and light levels. With buttons 1 and 2 you can switch between two different dogs. One transmitter can therefore be used for 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.
