Radio Systems New Electronic Trainers Teach Pets Safely from a Distance

Knoxville, Tenn. – February 9, 2006 – Radio Systems, the industry leader in pet managementsolutions, introduces new PetSafe brand training products designed to help control pets from adistance without a lead. The new systems allow consumers product choices based on their ownpet’s weight and training distance needs with effectiveness spanning areas 100 to 400 metres.Radio Systems electronic trainer systems are based on a Handheld Transmitter that, on the pushof a button, sends an owner-selected correction option--tone or static--to activate the receivercollar. With consistent and correct use of a PetSafe remote trainer, most dogs can learn basicobedience and change or correct many misbehaviours. Features common to each trainer system include: eight levels of stimulation; a waterproofreceiver collar and handheld transmitter; and a low battery indicator for both receiver andtransmitter. Additional features vary by system such as: tone only stimulation; rechargeablebatteries; and expandability for additional pets. Available internationally in markets across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia, the newPetSafe systems add to the company’s already strong line-up of electronic training solutions. These products available can be found by visiting www.petamenities.com.

“Our newest PetSafe trainers offer both weight and distance options to more closely match aconsumer’s needs,” said Brad van der Veen, Director, Radio Systems International. “Because training requires attention towards the desired response, our systems feature adjustablestimulation and tone-only options allowing owners a better way to communicate with their dogs.”

Electronic trainers allow flexibility in training off a lead at greater distances. The electronicsystem allows an owner to observe the behaviour near by or at a distance, draw attention to thebehaviour and apply a correction technique that is ultimately learned and understood by the pet.With time and proper attention to training, misbehaviours a pet might exhibit such as jumping up,digging, chasing or excessive barking can be corrected.
