Dog Training Collars - Range, Ruggedness and Other Features
When you're shopping for dog training collars, you need to keep in mind not every make and model offer the same features. So what features do you need? This article is your short guide when you shop for dog training collars.
Range - the backyard is not a farm, and not the hunting grounds
Short, medium, and long range are the choices for transmission range of remote training collars. Choose short range if only have a dog running around the yard, medium if out on the park, and long if yours are hunting or working dogs on the hunting grounds and out on the farm, respectively.
Rugged design - soak it water, drop it, and it should still work
Whether you have hunting, working dogs, or just small dogs roaming your garden or backyard, it's always nice to know the collar can get soaked and still work. Dogs can suddenly run back indoors, all soaked up by the rain. Some dogs stay outside despite the rain. With a collar that's designed to be waterproof, you can still mange to send a signal, a call back to your dogs, even when the collar (and your dog) is really wet.
Rechargeable batteries are better than buying new ones over and over
Battery life has something to do with being ruggedly designed and being waterproof. Make sure the device the device doesn't have a lot of parts that can be removed - because it can better survive getting soaked that way. So you want collars with batteries that need not be removed, as with a child's toy. You just need to plug the collars into any electric outlet when the indicators indicate low power; come back check again later.
Benefits of docking station - faster recharging time
Yes, a collar-transmitter packages often comes with its own recharging unit and power cord, but it's often good to have a recharging dock. It also helps to keeps things kept in one place when recharging them. Docks usually help keep wires tidy. Of course, such an item may add to the price. Or if the recharging wait time is not significantly upped by getting a docking station compared to just plugging both collar and transmitter to the outlet, perhaps you can dispense with this item. Just in case the added features may be of use to you, you better check out other models.
Expand the collar count when needed - great for those with many dogs
As you look up collar-transmitter packages, you will be able to see which include how many collars and which can accommodate more collars upon purchase (which can be configured to be under the same transmitter, of course). When you decide to either get more collars, or get more dogs, the foregoing tips will certainly be of use to you. Satisfied with the "performance" of the training collars they use, some farmers or hunters may want to get more collars - of the same make and model. It may happen to you.

Fate of NBA season hanging on a thread (Star Telegram)
NEW YORK -- NBA commissioner David Stern said the league is through
negotiating.
The next time he hears from the players' association, he expects an answer:
Yes, players will accept the league's latest proposal for a new collective
bargaining agreement, or no they won't.
If they do, the NBA will commence with a 72-game season on Dec. 15.
And if no? Then the next time LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and the rest of the
NBA's biggest stars are in uniform, it might be in London during next summer's
Olympics.
So the NBA's lengthy labor fight could come to an end this week. Or, the next
phase might just be beginning.
Should players reject this deal the next one comes with terms they would never
accept, likely sending them into the court system to file an antitrust lawsuit
against the league after disbanding the union.
That's not an assured victory, but it practically assures there would be no
2011-12 season.
Stern knows which he prefers -- and which he thinks the union should accept.
"I think our teams want to start playing," he said. "That desire is matched by
our players."
The revised proposal makes some improvements over the one ...
