PetSafe ST-70
70 m Basic Remote Trainer
SUMMARY OF PRODUCT
Now you can experience the difference a Remote Trainer can make. Spend less time training and more time enjoying your dog. With 12 levels of electrical (Static) Stimulation (4 low, 4 medium and 4 high), train your dog up to a distance of 70 metres. When the undesirable behaviour occurs, the owner sends a signal from the Remote Transmitter to the dog’s Receiver Collar which delivers the safe but annoying Static Stimulation. Alternatively an audible tone can be sent to the Receiver Collar, without Static Stimulation. Your dog quickly learns to associate the stimulation with the undesirable behaviour. Suitable for dogs over 3.6 kg.

Does my dog need a Training System?
Many owners struggle to train their dogs reliably because they cannot maintain their dog’s attention. Dogs are actively inquisitive and easily distracted. Even when an owner considers that their dog is well trained this may break down when their dog is challenged with an appealing temptation. A dog’s safety and that of other animals and people can be put at risk if their basic training fails. Jumping up, pulling on the lead, chasing livestock or traffic are common problems that Training Systems can help solve.
Why should I use a training system?
Dogs enjoy freedom and the pursuit of pleasure. Often the dog’s unbridled pursuit of its objectives will bring it into conflict with human sensibilities. These conflicts between the dog and humans can be resolved by restricting the dog’s freedom, using leads and crates or by training them. If a dog is restrained to control its behaviour, even if it is for its own benefit or safety, it could have a very monotonous existence. A well trained dog will enjoy far more freedom and consequently will enjoy a better quality of life.
How do Training Systems work?
Remote Training Systems are a tool to improve communication between owners / trainers and their dogs. The dog has the impression that the trainer is constantly beside them, monitoring their actions. This makes the dog much more likely to follow commands.
Remote Training Systems use mildly unpleasant stimulation to gain a dog’s attention. Once the dog pays attention the trainer stops the stimulation. The dog quickly learns to avoid any stimulation by paying attention to the trainer as soon as it is requested. The dog continues to follow the trainer’s request to avoid the stimulation even though stimulation may never be experienced again. This is different to using treats as a training tool because when the treats are gone, the dog stops paying attention. If a dog avoids a stimulation it is as much of a reward as a food treat but it has a much longer lasting effect.
Once you have your dog’s attention the training can begin! Remote Training Systems are ideal to re-teach basic obedience training where reward-based training has broken down or failed. They are also an ideal way to train recall and enhance off-lead control.
Introducing your dog to a Training System
It is the ability of the stimulation to ‘annoy’ or ‘startle’ a dog that makes these systems such valuable training tools. However, because of these responses, it is important that these systems are introduced slowly and carefully according to the instructions for each product.
Electronic Remote Training Systems are compatible with other training tools such as ‘clicker’ training. Intensity of stimulation can be varied to suit individual dogs and situations. Stimulation can be delivered remotely at the optimum instant to aid learning.
