How do I teach my GSD to be around my horses without going after them? - Page 2

There are several brands that were recommended to us, dotra and tri-tronics come to mind. However we also read rave reviews online of the sport dog brand which we bought at TSC for $180ish. It's completely water proof (the collar part), rechargable, and very durable. I've been very happy with it. It has 8 levels (1 being lowest, 8 being highest) and you have the training option of using a warning beep sound, a "nic" which is essentially a very quick correction, or a seperate button that can issue up to an 8 second correction. I would only use that in an extreme situation though...if we use that button we will only hold it for an extra second from the nic.

It has been an extremely effective training tool when the dogs are off leash.

Thank you, Rerun. I will look up the sport dog...is that the brand name or the model of it?

It's a sport dog (brand) field trainer (model). I think it's a 400 yd range.

Rerun, where do you board at?

Would prefer not to disclose that kind of info on the web but we can talk if you are looking for somewhere to keep one. It's about a half hr north of the north side of Indy.
