Following PetSafe's THREATENED legal action Sally Bradbury is now unable to comment to anyone about electric shock collars. Since the Level 8 Legal correction she has been far more subdued than usual and confused as to what she has been punished for. In the light of this I am taking the opportunity to put forward my views in this controversial area.


ProTeam Remote Trainer

Russell Thompsett PhD.

Shock collars in general rely on punishment to train. This is a very successful way to teach anything as we all discovered at school. However, the objection that such collars are cruel is related more to the fact that the owner punishes the dog than the actual level of static correction. For this reason we propose a new device that redresses this balance.

How the system works
The ProTeam Remote Trainer features a unique Owner Feedback Correction system. The training system works not just on the canine half of the training partnership but on the Team. The ProTeam system therefore delivers a corrective signal to the owner, and speeds training considerably.

The ProTeam Remote Trainer can be set to deliver the Owner Feedback Correction Signal via the handset, or via the optional neckbrace. Two electrodes deliver a harmless electric signal to the operator each time the unit is deployed. By encouraging the operator to find an alternative training option, teaching is accelerated 400% (according to expert prediction).

The system also features an Operator Correction Signal Bias. This allows novice owners to set the Owner Feedback Correction Signal at a level higher than that of the canine receiver unit. With 8 separate level settings the Operator Correction Signal Bias can be used to give significant results without needless punishment.

ProTeam Plus+ Remote Trainer

For stubborn or willful Teams where the trainer is reluctant to find alternative teaching strategies there is the ProTeam Plus+ Remote Trainer. The ProTeam Plus+ Remote Trainer features an extended gain setting with a volume control that goes up to 11!

The unit is only available with the operator neckbrace receiver system.

Customer Feedback

"We've been wearing our ProTeam system now for 5 months and I've managed to avoid all tingles. We've found treats and training can keep us on the right track"

"When I set the Operator Bias Setting to level 7 I finally decided to move the rubbish bin out of my dog's reach. Thank you ProTeam"

Mrs L Golightly, Maidenhead

"Please send me the ProTeam Plus+ system as I am determined to still allow my dog off lead in the woods. I'm hoping this will bring her back."

Mr Askew, Cirencester


If you would like to own a remote control dog, then perhaps consider one of the following. They don't need food, just batteries, and will do anything you tell them - just like the real thing.
