How Do Pet Obedience Collars Work?
Products in our Pet Obedience Collars range are chosen to do one job well and to keep your dog comfortable while they do it. Where a product applies a correction it runs through progressive levels, so your dog receives the minimum effective setting, and most carry safety cut-offs that pause after a set number of triggers in a short period, preventing overuse. DogMaster Trainers stocks automatic and remote-activated models wherever both are made, so the response can be tuned to your dog's temperament and environment.
Choosing from Our Range of Pet Obedience Collars
The right choice depends on your dog's breed, size, sensitivity and the environment you live in. Apartment dwellers often do best with the gentler options in this range, which work without disturbing the neighbours. Owners of large, stubborn working breeds frequently find the stronger models more effective. For sensitive dogs or puppies over 6 months, start with the lowest setting and increase gradually. Our team is available 7 days a week to help you select the ideal product — call 1800 300 364 for personalised advice.
Buying Pet Obedience Collars in Australia
What is recommended, and in some cases permitted, varies by state and territory, and some local councils have their own provisions that may affect your choice. Where a product falls under those rules, its product page says so, and gentler alternatives are stocked alongside it. We recommend consulting your state's animal welfare guidelines or speaking with our expert team before ordering. Every product on DogMaster Trainers meets Australian safety and quality standards.

Pet Obedience Collars FAQs
One of the most effective training methods available for dogs who are incessant barkers or difficult to train is a dog obedience collar. You will be amazed at how easy it is to teach your dog commands with the use of this handy training tool.
Getting your dog’s attention
One of the key factors in effectively training your dog is the ability to get your pup’s attention. Obedience collars utilise a variety of tactics ranging from a spray to distract your dog from outside factors while you are trying to call it back to an ultrasonic obedience collar that emits a sound that only your dog can hear — all of which they will learn to associate with bad behaviour.
Simple and effective
Whether they are domestic pets or hunting dogs, as soon as you introduce a dog obedience collar into your dog’s training regime, you will notice a quick improvement in their ability to follow commands and control their bad behaviours such as refusing to heel, barking, begging or entering areas that they are not allowed to. You and your dog will be much happier knowing the boundaries of your relationship and spending quality time together after just a few short weeks of working with one of our dog obedience collars.

FAQs
What is an obedience collar?
An obedience collar is a tool that will help your dog understand what behaviours are unwanted through experiencing a little unpleasantness whenever those behaviours occur. Used in conjunction with rewards for good behaviour, your dog will quickly learn the right kind of behaviour.
What are the best dog collars for obedience training?
Selecting the right dog obedience collar for your pup depends on the type of behaviour you are trying to counteract. Do you need an obedience collar to prevent your dog from straying? Or perhaps you wish to teach basic commands? Take a look at our range to determine the best collar for you.
How do you use an obedience collar?
We recommend you always start on the lowest setting to ascertain your dog’s level of tolerance. Commence training as you would normally, and activate the obedience collar when your dog is distracted or refuses to comply. Remember to provide rewards when they get it right!
When should I start using an obedience collar?
Depending on your dog’s temperament, it is recommended to wait until your dog is at least 6 months old before introducing a dog obedience collar. Some dogs might need to be a little older.
