Overview

Remote Trainers let you send a signal from a handheld transmitter to a receiver collar worn by your dog. The signal gets the dog’s attention and can be used to teach and reinforce training commands and to change undesirable behaviors.

The BigLeash® is a safe and effective training tool with more user-friendly features than other remote trainers. It is the only remote trainer with digital FM technology and exclusive ‘In-Touch’™ two-way communication between the hand-held transmitter and the dog’s receiver collar.

Bring out the best in your dog

The BigLeash is the only remote trainer with two-way communication between the hand-held transmitter and the dog’s receiver collar.

LCD Display
The LCD display on the BigLeash gives you more information than any other remote trainer. All the information you need is available at-a-glance, keeping you fully informed of the transmitter & receiver status, battery status, training level and your dog's distance from you.

In-Touch Two-Way Communication
This important feature helps you stay safely connected with your dog via the visual range indicator on the LCD screen that shows you if your dog is going out of range – so you can call him back before it's too late.

15 Levels of Stimulation
The BigLeash Remote Trainer offers 15 training levels (levels of stimulation) to accommodate a wide variety of training needs and pet personalities, but not so many that picking the correct level requires an advanced degree.

4 Signal Options
Select the signal you need, when you need it – audible or vibration, brief or continuous.

½ Mile Range
The signal range is up to ½ mile – more than enough to give your dog some room to roam when you go out for leash-free walks.

Two Dog Ready
Easily add a second collar so you can train or manage two dogs with the same hand-held transmitter, storing separate settings for each dog.

Rechargeable Batteries
Both the hand-held transmitter and the receiver collar have a long-lasting, easy to recharge battery.

Low Battery Indicator
Both the hand-held transmitter and the receiver collar have a low battery indicator to let you know when it is time to recharge.

Lightweight, Waterproof Receiver
Because dogs will be dogs.

Weatherproof Transmitter
Because weather happens.

Soft-Touch Coating
A unique coating that provides a comfortable and secure grip, while protecting the hand-held transmitter.

LED Nightlights
Easily activated from the hand-held transmitter, the nightlight feature with 4 LED lights is great for walking your dog at night or locating him in the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a remote trainer?
Remote trainers allow you to communicate remotely with your pet. With proper use, they help reinforce your commands and correct your dog’s unwanted behaviors. They provide the ability to train your dog with precise timing and with consistency, both of which are important for effective training.
How does a remote trainer work?
There are two basic components to a remote training system: a handheld “transmitter” and a “receiver” which is worn on a dog collar. You use the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver on the dog’s collar. Depending on the training situation, you can select one of four different signals to send to the receiver:
- An audible tone or a vibration
- A brief stimulation* (1 second)
- A constant stimulation (up to 8 seconds)
The signal from the dog’s receiver collar can get your dog’s attention or distract him from an unwanted behavior. By obeying your obedience command or by stopping the undesired behavior, your dog quickly learns to avoid and/or stop the tone or sensation which is delivered by the receiver collar.
* "stimulation” may also be referred to as “correction”, “training stimulation” or “shock”
Will the stimulation signal hurt my dog?
The “stimulation” from the collar is intended to distract your dog by delivering an unpleasant but harmless sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks.
The BigLeash training collar provides you with multiple stimulation levels. Most dog trainers find they can achieve their desired results using a low intensity stimulation, often barely perceptible to humans. All BigLeash models also include both an audible and a vibration signal which allows you to condition your dog to associate the audible tone or vibration with the training correction, thus eliminating the need for the stimulation altogether.
Which stimulation level is correct for my dog?
Always start with the lowest level and work your way up as needed. You will know you have found the proper stimulation level when your dog responds to the stimulation with only a mild twitch or perk of the ears or like you have given him a quick tug on a leash.

What is the difference between “Brief” and “Continuous” stimulation?
Brief stimulation is a quick “attention getter” that lasts only for a fraction of a second, regardless of how long you press the button. This stimulation has been described as feeling like a mosquito bite.
Continuous stimulation is a pulsating stimulation that continues until you release the transmitter button (up to 8 seconds maximum).
What kind of safety features does the S-15 BigLeash have?
In addition to having 15 training levels as well as audible and vibration modes, the BigLeash can be set to level “0” so that you will not accidentally send a signal when you have the collar on the dog but are not actively using the trainer. Additionally, the BigLeash includes an automatic shut-off feature that limits the continuous stimulation to 8 seconds.
What age should my dog be before I begin using a remote trainer?
The appropriate age depends on the dog and his readiness for training. Your dog needs to have a basic understanding of what is expected of him and he must understand basic commands. Some trainers recommend waiting until the dog is five or six months old; others will train younger dogs if they understand the basic commands.
Can my DogWatch Dealer assist me with training?
Many DogWatch Dealers offer assistance with training or will recommend a local trainer.
