Dog training collars – good brands?

by admin on January 28, 2012

I am going to have to purchase a training collar for my pit bull/lab mix and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a brand. I have seen Innotek and Pet Safe, are either of these good.

My problem is about once a week Charlie gets a wild hair to chase the cars coming down our country road. There’s very little traffic, and even though we will be putting a fence up in the next year I need something I can use now to deter him. I appreciate any comments.

Thanks
My 4 dogs are house dogs and they stay on my 5 acres. However, Charlie is the only one that feels the need sometimes to run after a car.
