Training a dog is part art and part science, and any good artist or scientist needs good tools. While much of dog training may seem like a mystery to man, some aspects are understood. Positive and negative reinforcement are used to teach a dog what to do and what not to do, but there are different levels of reinforcement. In the past things such as choke chains, lease tugs, nose taps, and yelling have been used to show a dog that their action was incorrect. However, it is hard to give this negative reinforcement tools a uniform level because humans are not precise machines. You might tap a little too hard one day for a small correction and then tap too lightly another day for a more severe correction. This sends mixed signals to the dog. Also, unless your dog is right next to you every second of the day, it can be hard to send the reinforcement quick enough that the dog understands what he or she is being corrected or rewarded for.

Innotek Free Spirit Range

Electronic dog collars, such as the Innotek dog training collars, solve these problems. The Innotek Free Spirit range of basic remote trainers includes the Innotek FS-15A and Innotek FS-25A. These devices offer instant correction in multiple levels that remain consistent. This allows you to correct your dog quick enough that he or she knows what they are being corrected for. The consistent multiple levels of correction allows the dog to have a precise benchmark against which to measure the severity of each correction. The Innotek FS-15A and Innotek FS-25A offer realistic and safe features to make training your dog simple and fast.

The Innotek FS-15A is the basic and most affordable option that is the perfect choice for most dog owners. The Innotek FS 15A is the benchmark in the industry because of its many great features and affordable price.

• One ounce transmitter is small enough to be used on a keychain
• Seven levels of correction intensity
• Stimulation boosters allows you to boost correction level in critical or unsafe situations
• One hundred and fifty foot range
• Warning tone can be used before making an electronic correction
• Receiver weights less than 3 ounces

The Innotek FS-25A is more expensive but is a better option for some sporting dogs and owners that will be training their dogs on larger properties. The Innotek FS 25A features include those of the FS-15A plus:

• Larger two hundred and fifty foot range
• Low battery indicator light
• Rechargeable receiver battery

The Innotek FS-25A is better for dog and owner teams that will have more distance between them, such as during hunting or sporting training. The extra battery features also make the FS-25A more convenient for trainers that will use longer training sessions.
