Will the six inch antenna add to the 1/2 mile range that Dogtrot says is the unit's range and will it fit the unit?
Full Question:
I Bought a Dogtrot 1900NCP Field Star Electric Collar & some DVDs from you about 10-15 days ago. We love it and it was a real blessing for our 2.3 year old trained German Shepard "MAX." He was trained earlier for the older couple who owned him before us, then shoved outside when their other small breed dog objected to him being in the house.When we got him home we brought him inside and he's been great except for the fact that the trainer let him jump up on people. That was one of the reasons that we bought the collar, and for refresher training.
Two questions: Will the six inch antenna add to the 1/2 mile range that Dogtrot says is the unit's range and will it fit the unit? Will the original length probes be long enough or should I order a longer size?
Oh, by the way two short training periods today with the collar and the "off" command has improved his jumping up behavior all ready.
Thanks,
Cecil
Cindy's Answer:
I just got off the phone with Dogtra. Putting a longer antenna on the collar will not give you more range. You would have to buy a different unit that has a bigger range if you need more than ½ mile.
As for the probes, if they are making contact then they should be fine. People with very thick or long coated dogs usually go for the longer ones.
