Range Issues on Dog Training Products

Many of Garmin's dog training products transmit wireless signals between a handheld unit and electronic dog collar. Just like any other wireless device, such as a two-way radio, a number of factors can affect the range at which these products are able to successfully communicate. Keeping the following things in mind can help set a realistic expectation for the range you will get out of your dog training device. 

• Line-of-sight: Any physical obstruction between the handheld and dog collar will reduce the effective range. To achieve the best line-of-sight conditions, you should move to the highest elevation point in your area (for example, on top of a hill):
  

• Interference: Other wireless signals (Wi-Fi, radio towers, etc.) can interfere with communication also reducing the effective range
• Listed range in device specs: The specifications for your product on the Sporting Dogs page of Garmin.com lists the range under ideal circumstances
