"Some kids are hooked on Phonics, My dog's on TriTronics.". Seriosly though its a great brand but I have a dog I trained for AKC and HRC hunt tests. I started with Sport Dog and they were fine nice small transmitter. Remember a small nick should be enough once you have it trained correctly and in fact I hardly ever need to use it (collar conditioning). I highly suggest you train with hand signals that way you won't have to worry about using the collar which in my mind is not really something to get attention if you were serious about the hearing thing (think you were joking though). I also think there are ones that vibrate which might be your best bet if that is what you are looking for and it truly is a hearing thing. I have had good luck with Gun Dog Supply, but Cabelas, Bass Pro and probably amazon are all options. If you need help with the avoidance training let me know, there is a lot to it, but you should appreciate the basics. Overall it is very effective and is NOT all about zapping for incorrect behavior. You train them by teaching them to turn off the stimulous. Feel free to PM me with ?s happy to help out.
