Waterproof dog shock collars are helpful tools when stubborn dogs or working dogs with important roles. Waterproofing is important when training dogs near water. If you are training them to behave off the leash with other animals, the device can’t pose a risk if the dog plays in puddles or ponds.
Many beginners don’t quite understand the waterproof dog training collar. Is waterproof really waterproof? Why is it said waterproof in the detailed introduction, but water is still in the dog collar? This article will answer these questions in the form of Q&A.
A:
There are two types of waterproof: one is rainproof, and the other can be placed in water.
Here we describe the waterproof function of the electronic dog collar
Generally, the waterproof level we call is divided into 8 levels, from 0 to 8, 0 is not waterproof, 8 is the highest waterproof level.
Please see the bar chart below
As a waterproof dog training collar manufacturer, PATPET’s requirements for the waterproof level are:
a. Battery Type
Receiver (collar) reaches IPX5
The transmitter (remote control) is designed in accordance with the IPX5 standard
b. Charging Type
Receiver (collar) reaches IPX7
Transmitter (remote control) reaches IPX5
This means
The receiver (the collar) can satisfy the dog to swim in the water for less than 30 minutes when it is IPX7;
The transmitter (the remote control) should be wiped dry immediately when it rains, not soaked in water
100% of the products manufactured by our company have passed the IPX7 sealing test and meet the requirements of the industry standard. However, some parts of the collars are worn for a period of time, and water may enter. It is recommended that users stay away from water sources when using them.
A:
The main reason is that the battery type of waterproof shock collar requires AAA batteries. The battery cover is made of ABS and cannot be sealed and waterproof. If the dog needs to swim, it is recommended to use a rechargeable model. The rechargeable model has a soft cover to cover the charging port to make it completely waterproof.
A:
There are 3 reasons
a. As far as market feedback is concerned, the transmitter (remote control) doesn’t need to require the IPX7 level, and the most common use scenario is to get caught in the rain, so rainproof is enough.
b. The remote control has several buttons, which would make the waterproof effect poor.
c. Due to the structure of the transmitter, the IPX7 will lead to an increase in the cost of funds.
Therefore, considering the actual use place, structural waterproof effect, and cost, the transmitter is selected as IPX5. Of course, if you have higher requirements for this, we can customize it.
A:
According to the correct way of use, PATEPT’s waterproof dog trainer will not enter the water.
The correct way to use is:
the transmitter (the remote control) is wiped dry immediately after being sprayed with water; the receiver (collar) cannot be soaked in water for more than 30 minutes.
But waterproofing is not permanent. After using for a period of time, The dog may tear the silicone cover and there would be abrasion, the water may enter, so it is recommended to stay away from the water source.
