Can you take the receiver off this collar and put it on another collar? (the dog's main, more attractive collar)..

Yes I had to replace mine cause the snap latch was broken. Just a couple of minutes and done. Was not as wide as original but atill worked.
1873799
I would not, unless you can duplicate the holes and stabilizing method. And why would you want to do that?
1873800
Yes you can, I've had these on several different dog breeds for over 10 years, as others have said just punch holes in the dogs collar (I used a scratch awl), unscrew the prongs and do the reverse on dogs collar. Why would you want to do it, because these collars are cheap and lame. Can you leave it on all of the time, I do with my dogs but they learned quick and only need to hear the beep now so it's not that tight on them.
1873801
Yes, I did it and it works fine. You have to punch two holes for the shocking wires. Used a hot awl to seal the frayed edges.
1873802
I would say no because you can't leave it on all the time because it could cause sores on the dogs neck. if you put it on the main collar, he/she wouldn't have his tags at the times you remove it.
1873803
Yes you can. Just measure the prongs and use a hole-punch to make the holes and unscrew the prongs, remove off the original collar and attach to the personal collar and screw the prongs back on.

We don't think so. The main mechanism would need to be unscrewed to release it from the red collar. I would be cautious about doing that. I wonder if you can just cut the main black mechanism about one inch on both sides, from the red strap............and secure it WELL to your dog's original collar. Perhaps with an industrial staple gun? Or a commercial sewing machine? Also, we have three dogs on these collars. In good weather they are out all the time. The batteries need to be replaced once a month. When they wear out, the dogs will go off property, so that's a word of caution as well.............I hope this helps. We don't think so.

Definitely!! I have replaced mine several times. I do have a few recommendations in doing so. I use an ice pick and heat it over an open flame (gas stove) and burn/melt the holes in the nylon collar for the prong to fit so the hole does not unravel. Then when replacing the prongs I put a little clear nail polish on the threaded side so it will hold tight. Next time you need to replace the collar you are able to loosen the prong using a pair of pliers, it's not a big deal at all. I have two golden retrievers and one is a chewer, he has chewed the collar off my other golden several times.

Hello, the collar expands up to 28 inches from tip to tip, but keep in mind you can also put the receiver part on any nylon collar with holes in it, so if you needed something larger you could unscrew the posts and put it on a new one. The strength of the collar is adjustable and is idea for a dog from 75-100 pounds...no problem at all.

No. The collar is remote control only. You probably wouldn't want it on for something like that anyway. What if there's an intruder? Shouldn't the dog bark for that? Collars require judicious training.

On the remote you can switch from one collar to the other one directly from the remote. The distance is not all that great about 50ft. If you are 50ft away from your animals you can switch to whichever collar you want and shock. Let me tell you that the shocking power is great i have a labrador and I put it between 1 and 5 and it will not take more than one shock for her to listen.

Yea, it will work and the shocker could be removed from original collar and attached to another.

Yes, you can move the pet tag to a bigger collar. Best do it in minutes. It is advised if collar w/ tag is removed, must be on dog less 2 hrs. 2 hrs w/o the collar, you have to start over again 3 wks let pet tag build up the protection again.

Probably... the unit can be removed and placed on a different collar. You might have to do that. We have it on our 26 lb. dog with absolutely no problem. The actual unit is a 2" x 1" box that is 1" deep. It is not very heavy at all.

I have found that for my dog, a male boxer, taking the collar off at times only confuses him. I extended his free area by adding an extra spool of line. He has quite a large area now. I tried taking his collar off a couple of times, but trust me, he figured it out! I would rather be safe, than sorry. Hope this helps?

We have 5 dogs that we put these collars on and the smallest one is 45 lbs. Based on what it looks like on her I would guess that the receiver would be too large for a 20 to 30 lb dog. The collar, itself, would be no problem because it does have holes all the way around it but my concern would be the size of the receiver.

Keeping it doesn't bother the dog, and it's a neat little collar so it's not a necessity to take it off, but if you want to give him another collar, for appearances later on after he obeys all commands without correction then you could do that too

Yes. it can be used with up to 3 collars. The setup is not simple and this collar should not be used on soft dogs.

Yes it does work just fine. All you need to do is remove the metal studs and replace the old collar with this one. The holes on this one are a bit bigger, so the receiver moves a bit on the collar, but still functions just fine.

You can cut the collar to fit if you have too. I had a German Shepard that I tried it with on two acres and it didn't work right for me. My dog would run out of the perimeter. So I sold it. But I didn't like it.

If your transmitter still works, you can use the same wire and same transmitter. You will just need a second collar.

Thank you for your question! You can find an additional receiver collar for this unit at SportDog SDR-AC Add A Dog Collar - SDR-AC

I asked the person I bought this for and he said yes you can but if you have a dog that bite the tags on his collar then it will be in you best interest not to put it on the collar.

I think it would be possible. The remote has two channels, but I don't know where you could purchase a 2nd collar
