We are not just another internet based company that sells you a product and disappears. We stay around, we are there when you need us and we care about you and your dog.

Pet containment systems

At K9 Collars our pet containment systems are designed to stop your dog wandering away from your property. A wire with a built-in FM radio signal is buried in the ground around your property and your dog wears a collar with a transmitter.

If your dog gets close to the wire they receive a warning beep and if they continue to get closer they receive a static stimulation or correction. You reinforce these corrections with your own commands and with a small flag that marks the point where your dog receives a warning beep. Between your commands, the flag and the warning beep your dog soon learns to stay within your property.

Stop barking collars

With the stop barking pet collars, your dog wears a receiver on a collar which picks up the vibrations from their bark. They are given a warning beep and then if they continue to bark, a static stimulation is given to them. They quickly learn to stop barking with this system.

Remote training collars

Similar to the stop barking collars, the remote training collars come with a remote control for you eliminate problem behaviour in your dog. Problems like digging, chewing or killing wildlife can be fixed by giving a command and using the correction from the collar.

This is a highly successful product, but we will only sell these to responsible dog owners. So each owner has a consultation with our Field Operations Manager and we will only sell you the remote training collar on his recommendation.

So you can see that we really do care about our customers and their dogs. That is why K9 Collars are the leading supplier of pet containment systems and stop barking pet collars in Australia.

Tips for stop barking collars for dogs

         Buy the right collar for your dog. You can buy a stop barking collar that gives your dog a quick static stimulation if continue barking, but you can also purchase a sonic bark collar. This is great for little dogs or those who are a bit anxious because it’s light weight and emits a sonic noise, rather than a static stimulation. These are also great for dogs that whinge and whine all the time or for indoor dogs.

         Make sure the collar fits properly. You don’t want your dog irritated because the collar is too tight or too uncomfortable. If it doesn’t fit properly then your dog will become overly anxious and annoyed with it. This can reduce the effectiveness of the stop barking dog collar, which if they are calm and accepting works like a charm.

         Compare different collars. Check the distributor or manufacturer’s website to make sure you are buying a quality collar that suits your needs. One thing to look for is their ongoing support. If you have any problems with the collar it is good to know that they are there to help you, rather than just selling you a product and disappearing.

How to train your dog the easy way – K9 Collars Australia

I am sure that we all appreciate the skills of working dogs. It is great to watch working dogs round up a flock of sheep or see those ripper little cattle dogs nipping at the heels of cattle. And what about the Maremma dogs who saved the fairy penguins on Victoria’s Middle Island from foxes in 2009?

I take my hat off to all dog trainers around the world – they do an awesome job and a job that many of us fail at miserably. Hands up everyone whose dog barks too much, digs holes in the garden or gets a little too friendly with guests? For some of us it just seems so hard to train our dogs.

So if you have tried everything and your dog is still misbehaving, then maybe try a dog training collar from K9 Collars Australia.


 

How do the dog training collars work?


They are quite simple really. You just place the dog training collar around your dog’s neck with a receiver attached to it. When your dog barks, they receive a warning beep and if they don’t stop barking within 30 seconds they receive a short, harmless stimulation or correction.

They actually receive a short zap from the dog training collar which startles them (and you can change the settings on this yourself). If they stop barking the receiver resets to the lowest level, but if they keep barking the correction gets a little stronger each time.

It doesn’t take very long for your dog to learn that the warning beep means to be quiet. So it lets them give one bark and then retrains them to just stop and not bark all day long.

You can even purchase a sonic bark collar which only emits a high pitched noise when your dog barks – not a stimulating correction. These are great for little dogs whose hair might stand on end if they received even the smallest zap from a dog training collar. They are also good for dogs that are easily trained and pick up the meaning of the warning beep straight away.

K9 Collars Australia sell standard dog training collars as well as a deluxe collar and a sonic bark collar. You can rent them or purchase them from their website.

It’s good to know that training your dog can be so easy. Avoiding all the stress of a misbehaving dog makes life so much more pleasant for you and your family, and your dog will be so much happier living in your home.

Don’t go barking mad – use stop barking collars for dogs and dog remote trainers

Barking dogs can send you barking mad – believe me I know. Like most people I like dogs, I even have a few myself, but good grief, when the neighbour’s dog sits at the fence line all day barking, barking mad does not fully describe how I feel.

I am sure that most of you have been tormented by barking dogs at some time or another; even our own dogs can drive us nuts if they keep barking all day long. So what can you do? Well, you can’t stop the neighbour’s dogs barking – that needs a nice little chat with your neighbour – but you can do something to stop your own dogs sending you and all your neighbours barking mad.

It’s called a stop barking collar for dogs and they really do work.

HOW DOES A STOP BARKING COLLAR FOR DOGS WORK?

The stop barking collar for dogs has a special receiver attached to the collar which picks up your dog’s barks. So when your dog barks, the receiver emits a warning beep and your dog receives a harmless static stimulation. Your dog will soon learn that if he doesn’t bark again that nothing else happens – but if he does bark again within 30 seconds he receives another warning beep and a stronger correction.

Don’t worry – your dog will quickly realise that remaining, quiet makes his day a whole lot better. If your dog learns this and doesn’t bark again within 30 seconds, the receiver on the stop barking collar resets to the lowest level. It’s a great way to teach your dog not to bark all day long and the stimulation or the zap they receive is not harmful, but certainly retrains your dog to behave himself.

DOG REMOTE TRAINERS

Dog remote trainers are great for dogs that have troublesome behaviours like digging, chewing your shoes or humping guests. It is similar to the stop barking collar for dogs in that your dog receives a harmless zap if they don’t listen to your commands. It is a very effective way to train your dog.

You can even use a dog remote trainer for basic obedience commands like ‘come’ or ‘stop’. With a range up to 800 metres you can even use it in off leach areas or on the beach (they are water proof).


So if you think you’ve already tried everything to train your dog, you probably haven’t tried the stop dog barking collar or the dog remote trainers. Life may suddenly become a whole lot quieter and simpler.

How to train your dog the easy way – dog remote trainers and dog training collars


Do you have a dog with a problem behaviour? Maybe they dig all your roses up, chew your shoes or sofa, jump up at people all the time, kill wildlife in your garden or try to hump your male friends?

Well fear not – because dog remote trainers are here to help. Unfortunately, dog remote trainers are not little men who pop out of nowhere to correct your dog’s bad behaviour. They are an advanced technology involving dog training collars with a remote control - which makes it an awesome piece of gear to fix problem behaviours.

You might be happy to know that professional trainers use these dog training collars, so they must be good at making your dog behave.

HOW DOG TRAINING COLLARS WORK
Your dog wears a receiver on their collar and you have a remote control. Every time you see your dog doing something they shouldn’t – something important like digging massive holes in your yard, not looking at you cross-eyed – you press the remote control and they get a harmless, but seriously uncomfortable stimulation.

They soon learn that what they are doing is no longer a good idea. These dog remote trainers are also great if you are teaching your dog to walk off-lead as they associate the stimulation with a command.

The key to making this work is that you are consistent and that you do not abuse it. You should only use the dog training collars to correct inappropriate behaviour, not for amusement or to abuse your dog. I know you would never do that, but there are some people that may.

So whenever you buy one of these dog remote trainers be sure that you are doing it for the right reasons. And keep the remote out of the hands of young children or people who may think it funny to zip zap your poor dog for no good reason.

Wandering dog containment systems and stop barking collars for dogs


If you have a problem dog, one way to fix them is to pay for one-on-one consultations with a pet expert or book them into a boarding kennel which will train them for you, but both of these can cost a pretty penny.

Other options for common problems, such as roaming dogs or nuisance barking, are dog containment systems (dog containment fence) for wandering dogs and stop barking collars for dogs with excessive barking.


DOG CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS
Properties that are inadequately fenced are great for dogs that like to wander through the neighbourhood. Sometimes the dog digs under a perfectly good fence, escapes through an open gate or the property can be far too large to fence well enough to stop a dog wandering.

Dog containment systems solve these problems by having a wire that runs around your property line or smaller defined area on large properties. This creates a dog containment fence (it can be buried as well) and a FM radio frequency is then run through the wire with a receiver attached to your dog’s collar.

The collar beeps when the dog comes close to the wire and gives them a harmless stimulation if they don’t stop. Dogs aren’t completely daft – they soon learn to wander the fence line at just the right distance so they don’t get stimulated by the collar. Many people find they can remove the receiver after a while and their dog still stays within their perimeter line.


STOP BARKING COLLARS FOR DOGS
Nuisance barking during the day or night, sometimes can’t be stopped even with training, long walks before you go to work and lots of toys to keep them busy during the day.

Stop barking collars for dogs are similar to the dog containment fences. When your dog barks the sensor on their collar beeps and if they don’t stop barking, gives them a stimulation after 30 seconds.  Continual barking within 30 seconds gives them an increasing level of stimulation. As with the dog containment systems, they learn very quickly that barking after a beep is not very clever.

So if you want more information on dog containment fences or stop barking collars for dogs, call 1300 130910 or check out our contact page on our K9 Collars website.
