Dog training collars aren't just for dogs needing obedience training. There are also many specialty uses for specific types of collars. One example is the hunting dog training collar. These collars can be a bit more expensive; however they come with additional features and are specifically designed to assist a dog owner during hunting expeditions. Given the design or limited features of traditional training collars, they can be impracticable, either due to beeps that can alert the prey or the very limited range of these collars. To address these issues, hunting dog training collars are excellent choices for dog owners looking to get the most out of their pets during their hunting trips.

One handy feature of these specialty collars can be the multi-dog feature. Many hunters utilize multiple dogs during their hunting trips. In this situation, you would have the painstaking process of using separate systems on each dog and having to use the correct controls to stimulate the correct dog in each situation.

Multi-dog systems can be a valuable tool since they can equip up to six dogs at a time with only a single unit. A simple selector on the unit will allow the owner to select the appropriate dog to receive the stimulation. In addition, further features allow for you to not only select the correct dog, but also the right level of stimulation required based on the action. So if one dog needs a heavy stimulation to get him into line but a second dog only needs a light stimulation, you can easily switch between them.

Most hunting dog training collars are also much higher quality than standard training collars in terms of their transmitters, allowing for greater ranges on the collars. There is nothing worse than having your dog run off and then needing to stimulate the dog, only to find out that he is out of range. This can especially be a problem when hunting, due to the line of sight issue. If you don't have a clear, unobstructed line of sight between you and the dog, things such as trees, rocks, or elevation will considerably lessen the advertised range on the transmitter. Top-of-the line transmitters have ranges up to two miles, and are very useful for hunting situations.

Another good feature is the beeper system on the collars. Hunting dog training collar systems can be tailored so that they only beep when the dog is within range or only when the dog stops. This can be very useful because you know where the dog is at any time and also when the dog is moving. The ability of the system to be able to detect movement also lessens the chance of alerting the prey.

When you're out hunting, the last thing you want to happen is to lose track of your dogs or to have them totally misbehave. Hunting dog training collar systems are extremely valuable tools for hunters who need the appropriate device for training their dogs in actual hunting situations. These particular training collars can be a bit more expensive due to the additional features that are included, but are well worth it for hunters who need to get the most out of their dog training collars.
