How Do Kelpie Work?
Products in our Kelpie 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 Kelpie
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 Kelpie 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.

Kelpie FAQs
Kelpies are one of the most common Australian working dogs. They are tough, intelligent, and obedient. Being bred for farm work, the Kelpie has extremely high energy levels and must be kept active constantly, perfect for working with livestock. As a family pet, Kelpie owners must keep their dog well exercised daily. The consequences of bringing a working dog into a city environment can cause many behavioural issues. Owners must be diligent in their exercise routines and keep their Kelpie active and occupied.
Bark Control Solution
Dogmaster Trainers recommend a static bark control collar with manual settings for any Kelpie. Being highly intelligent, over time they can understand how an auto rise output works, making this style of collar less effective. Collars with a manual adjustment allows you to go straight to the level that the dog responds to and keep it there.
Recommend Anti Bark collars: Dogtra YS300, Garmin Barklimiter Deluxe
Dog obedience training solution
Kelpies can weight upwards of 15kgs. Kelpies can wear many of our remote training models depending on their size. The Dogtra 200c series system is one of the most popular dog training systems for Kelpies. It has strong vibration output plus 100 levels of static stimulation which is great for smart dogs. When looking for a remote trainer for your Kelpies in a working environment, we recommend the Garmin Tri-Tronics Sport Pro. This system is expandable to work with up to 3 dogs. It is feature packed with Vibration, Tone and static functions but can also double as a bark control collar. It is user friendly, which makes it great in working conditions.
Recommended Dog Training Systems: Dogtra 200c/202c, Garmin Tri-Tronics Sport Pro, Dogtra ARC and the Barkmate Training System.
