When we say multiple dogs, we mean more than two. I used to joke that the big difference is going from one to two dogs, and any more just turns into a slightly bigger pack. That was until Hurricane Katrina hit, and we spent much of September 2005 rounding up stray dogs and finding homes for them all. We could for the little’uns, but not the big’uns, so we ended up with nine, big dogs! I digress …

If you have multiple dogs and need a trainer, you are confronted with two choices: 1) use a hunting dog trainer, or 2) use a two-dog trainer with multiple remotes. If you are not sure if you need a hunting dog trainer, then you probably don’t. They are more complex, and have a long range – over 1,000 yards – and consequently are more expensive than a regular trainer.

That leaves you with the option of the two dog trainer and multiple remotes. We know how expensive it is to feed the pack and take care of vet bills, so you’re on a budget, right? (How did we guess!) A great trainer for this purpose is the Innotek BT-502A Two Dog Remote Trainer.

Although the remote only controls two dogs, more units can be purchased. The trainer knows which remote to talk to via an ID and it is possible that the ID number of your new trainer will match the ID number of the orginal. In this case it is an easy fix: there is a process for resetting the ID number in the owners manual.

So, there it is. Help could be at hand. We know what it is like when the inmates try to run the assylum!

Question:

Do you sell the Innotek IUC-5200?

Answer:

The Innotek IUC-5200 Contain ‘N’ Train Fence is no longer manufactured and has been replaced by the Innotek IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train Pet Fencing System.

The IUC-5100 is an excellent solution for someone who wants both an Electric Dog Fence and a Remote Dog Trainer.

We were contacted by a lady that wanted to control two large dogs. The pet owner has 6 dogs, but said that the labs were a little badly behaved and she wanted something that would work to control them.

Initially she had looked at the PetSafe PDBDT-305 Big Dog Trainer since it is designed for dogs 40 lbs plus. She asked if this was the correct product and we told her that the PetSafe PDBDT-305 is an excellent unit, but is designed for only one dog.

For her situation, two large dogs, on a budget, and needing a range of 150 yards or less, we recommended the Innotek BT-502A Two-Dog Remote Trainer. This is an excellent device for pet owners with two dogs since it comes complete with two waterproof rechargeable collars and an easy to use remote.

She purchased the Innotek BT-502A and is very happy with the performance of this remote trainer. As with all of our collars, trainers and fences, the unit was shipped from stock with free shipping.

Question:

Will the Innotek Contain & Train collars work with the Pet Safe Stubborn Dog System?

Answer:

Unfortunately, no. The systems are different and not compatible with each other. Perhaps you could consider a remote trainer as an additional option. In this case, the dog would need two collars, one for the fence and one for the trainer. It sounds like you have multiple dogs, so the Innotek BT-502A Two Dog Basic Trainer would be a great option for you.

Another option is to consider one our Contain ‘N’ Train systems, such as the Innotek SD-3000 Basic Contain and Train, or the Innotek IUC-5100 Ultrasmart Contain ‘N’ Train Pet Fencing System. The fences would utilize your existing wiring and add some great features to boot – particularly the IUC-5100.
