D.T. Systems H20 1800 Series
Four varieties of e-collars fall under the umbrella of the 1800 Series waterproof and weather-resistant line, each of which has 1-mile range, 16 levels of intensity and a rechargeable battery. All four of the two-dog models also feature nick and continuous stimulation. For trainers with more advanced needs, jump and rise stimulation are also available, along with a beeper locator that can be heard up to 450 yards away. Jump stimulation is a useful function in emergency situations when an over-excited dog needs a quick, clear command, and rise stimulation allows a gradual build-up of strength until a dog responds. For sensitive dogs, the Gentle Touch option delivers extra-mild stimulation.

More than 500,000 ID codes exist to further avoid a potential clash of signals.
