BigLeash Remote Trainer
Because Dogs Will Be Dogs
Remote trainers can be used to teach and reinforce training commands and to change undesirable behaviors. They are also an effective way of communicating with your dog even when he is too distracted or too far away to hear you.
BigLeash Remote Trainer (S-15)
Overview
Remote Trainers let you send a signal from a handheld transmitter to a receiver collar worn by your dog. The signal gets the dog’s attention and can be used to teach and reinforce training commands and to change undesirable behaviors.
The BigLeash® is a safe and effective training tool with more user-friendly features than other remote trainers. It is the only remote trainer with digital FM technology and exclusive ‘In-Touch’™ two-way communication between the hand-held transmitter and the dog’s receiver collar.

Bring out The Best In Your Dog.
Dogs love to run and jump. Dogs love to dig. Sometimes they bark and sometimes they don’t come when you call. A BigLeash® can help with that.
The BigLeash is the only remote trainer with two-way communication between the hand-held transmitter and the dog’s receiver collar.
LCD Display
The LCD display on the BigLeash gives you more information than any other remote trainer. All the information you need is available at-a-glance, keeping you fully informed of the transmitter & receiver status, battery status, training level and your dog’s distance from you.
In-Touch Two-Way Communication
This important feature helps you stay safely connected with your dog via the visual range indicator on the LCD screen that shows you if your dog is going out of range – so you can call him back before it’s too late.
15 Levels of Stimulation
The BigLeash Remote Trainer offers 15 training levels (levels of stimulation) to accommodate a wide variety of training needs and pet personalities, but not so many that picking the correct level requires an advanced degree.

½ Mile Range
The signal range is up to ½ mile – more than enough to give your dog some room to roam when you go out for leash-free walks.
Two Dog Ready

Rechargeable Batteries
Both the hand-held transmitter and the receiver collar have a long-lasting, easy to recharge battery.

A unique coating that provides a comfortable and secure grip, while protecting the hand-held transmitter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Remote trainers allow you to communicate remotely with your pet. With proper use, they help reinforce your commands and correct your dog’s unwanted behaviors. They provide the ability to train your dog with precise timing and with consistency, both of which are important for effective training.
There are two basic components to a remote training system: a handheld “transmitter” and a “receiver” which is worn on a dog collar. You use the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver on the dog’s collar. Depending on the training situation, you can select one of four different signals to send to the receiver:
- An audible tone or a vibration
- A brief stimulation* (1 second)
- A constant stimulation (up to 8 seconds)
The signal from the dog’s receiver collar can get your dog’s attention or distract him from an unwanted behavior. By obeying your obedience command or by stopping the undesired behavior, your dog quickly learns to avoid and/or stop the tone or sensation which is delivered by the receiver collar.
* “stimulation” may also be referred to as “correction”, “training stimulation” or “shock”
The “stimulation” from the collar is intended to distract your dog by delivering an unpleasant but harmless sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks.
The BigLeash training collar provides you with multiple stimulation levels. Most dog trainers find they can achieve their desired results using a low intensity stimulation, often barely perceptible to humans. All BigLeash models also include both an audible and a vibration signal which allows you to condition your dog to associate the audible tone or vibration with the training correction, thus eliminating the need for the stimulation altogether.
Always start with the lowest level and work your way up as needed. You will know you have found the proper stimulation level when your dog responds to the stimulation with only a mild twitch or perk of the ears or like you have given him a quick tug on a leash.
Brief stimulation is a quick “attention getter” that lasts only for a fraction of a second, regardless of how long you press the button. This stimulation has been described as feeling like a mosquito bite.
Continuous stimulation is a pulsating stimulation that continues until you release the transmitter button (up to 8 seconds maximum).
In addition to having 15 training levels as well as audible and vibration modes, the BigLeash can be set to level “0” so that you will not accidentally send a signal when you have the collar on the dog but are not actively using the trainer. Additionally, the BigLeash includes an automatic shut-off feature that limits the continuous stimulation to 8 seconds.
The appropriate age depends on the dog and his readiness for training. Your dog needs to have a basic understanding of what is expected of him and he must understand basic commands. Some trainers recommend waiting until the dog is five or six months old; others will train younger dogs if they understand the basic commands.
Many DogWatch Dealers offer assistance with training or will recommend a local trainer.
