The Professional Lead in Remote Training With the new EXT range of digital remote trainers, incorporating UHF radio technology, PAC has advanced even further to give yet higher reliability and longer reach than ever before. PAC thus retains the leadership in the specialist field of Dog Control systems. .
For a dog to enjoy a fulfilling life, he needs plenty of exercise, ideally running free. This can only be possible if you can trust him off the lead. To gain this trust, there are very few dependable methods recommended by the experts, and whereas spray collars might offer a short term respite, certainly there are few more successful long-term, long-reach tools than a PAC Remote Trainer, which acts as a very long, invisible line that can tingle, but never tangle..
The EXT uses state of the art, mobile-phone technology, minimising the size and weight of both the collar and handset. At the same time as enabling reliable ‘communication’ with a much longer reach, up to 2 miles (3 km’s) on ideal terrain. Nevertheless, such a long distance control should only be enforced, if you know what the dog is doing at that moment of correction.
At the time of supplying me with the PAC dog trainer, you expressed the wish that you would like to hear how successful we found the device to be, and how in particular our problem dog reacted to it. I have much pleasure in informing you of the outcome…
You may recall from the telephone conversations we had at the time of my initial enquiry, and on your follow up call a short while after we had received the collar, that we had rescued a Weimaraner dog that had been picked up by the local “Dog Warden". He had been given twice the normal 7 days for his owner to claim him, but no one had come forward and he was about to be put down. Fortunately for him the "Dog Warden" knew we had recently lost one of our Dobermans, and asked us to give him a home. He was approximately 18 months old and obviously by his behaviour had not been owned by someone with any knowledge of, or ability in dog training. He was an absolute "nightmare".
Every day, whatever the weather my wife has taken our dogs for a 2 hour run in our local Country Park . Max joined in with our remaining Doberman on this daily routine, but on most days my wife would return home virtually in tears. He would not answer to recall; he wanted to fight every other dog he met; if a car drove past with a dog in it he would give chase and when the driver stopped he would jump all over the car (creating many arguments); and when it was time to go back on the lead to come home, he did not want to know. My wife would hang about for ages, waiting for him to get near enough to someone for them to grab his collar.
At this stage we enrolled him on a dog training class, and we had him neutered.
We take our holidays in a touring caravan enabling us to take our dogs with us, again Max blotted his copy book each day we were away, chasing horses in the New Forest, sheep in Dorset and catching and eating myximatosed rabbits in Sussex. All this time we were being very patient with him… no beatings… lots of love and fuss… plenty of treats… periods on the normal lead… a long length of rope etc… but as soon as you let him free again, he was back to his old habits. It became a daily battle between my wife and me. When I got home from work or when she returned to the caravan it was "HE HAS TO GO. I CANNOT PUT UP WITH HIM ANY LONGER"
I argued to save him, because I loved him and did not have to put up with his bad behaviour – as she did each day, and there was only one place he would have to go, that was to the Vet’s to be put down. It would have been impossible to re-home him like he was. Then someone my wife was talking to one day suggested the PAC collar. One can honestly say that it has saved, and it has completely changed his life.
He is now a well behaved boy, very affectionate, a pleasure to take out… and this has been achieved by activating the collar on 8 to 10 occasions only, but as my wife remarks, she now feels in control of the situation, should the need to use it arise.
Max can now look forward to a long and happy life, and many happy holidays. Without the collar he would have been put down several months ago. He has now been with us for 13 months.
I would certainly recommend it as a training aid when all normal methods have been tried and failed, as in our case.

I should like to take this opportunity to say that, although I have had the PAC training collar for only 6 weeks, I have been most impressed with its performance and results, even at this early stage. Following the recommended period of familiarisation using the dummy collar, I introduced the training collar to my 4-year-old, extremely enthusiastic, Labrador dog. The dog’s tendency to go deaf to oral and whistle commands as soon as he is more than 20 yards away is, I am pleased to report, well on the way to being a thing of the past. The ability to attract the dog’s attention as soon as he fails to respond has, in my view, been the key to this. This sudden improvement in obedience has been achieved with the collar set on minimum, and with remarkably few initiations.
I am sure that the improvement in the dog's behaviour has benefited us both. Not only do I have more control over the dog, but I feel more confident and relaxed when working him. I am sure that the dog senses this and responds accordingly. I look forward to consolidating the early improvements with less and less use of the training collar.
Thank you for supplying an excellent product, complete with good advice on its use.

It is now a while since we purchased the remote training collar from you in an effort to restrain our young, very wilful Irish Red Setter. Our main problem was her great interest in farm animals, the sight of which made her quite deaf and liable to run off, ignoring our commands to return and the attendant risk of irate farmers shooting her. She is now much better behaved particularly towards my wife’s commands who has undertaken most of the training. She tends to become deaf to my commands when I had to take over recently when my wife fell ill. It was most interesting to see that by just placing the collar on her again that she immediately became more responsive, taking immediate notice of the buzzer without having to apply any other correction.
We now seldom need to use the collar when at home but do use it in unfamiliar surroundings, particularly such as when on holiday on camp sites and similar locations, where she tends to become so excited as to be a danger to herself and others around.
It is in fact a comfort to have, since she still tends to ignore my commands but with increasing age is becoming better… but as she is still very fertile we have periods when she is in season that she becomes very unruly.
Indeed we left her with her breeder whilst on holiday, at the end of which the breeder stated that if their first Setter had been as wilful as ours then they would not have taken up the breed to show (at Crufts last week). They had quite a time getting her to settle down amongst their six other dogs over the 14 days she was in their care.
Thus, in conclusion, our first experience with the collar has been positive and our dog, being very intelligent, has responded in a very good way to the lessons from its use and its availability. It is a great boon to those owners faced with the seemingly intractable problem that we faced when we took on this young puppy. Her temperament is quite different to our other Setter, whom we had for thirteen years.
I am glad that I found this piece of equipment, as otherwise we might have sent her back to the breeder as being untrainable… She is now a valued member of our family, being quite a character in her own right.
