I need two controllers that can control one collar when the dog is at different locations. If I buy 2 pair, can I make it do that?

Yes it can. The remote have a 2 channel setting so one remote controls both collars

Since you have two collars you have to re-establish the connection to the remote in order to assign which collar is 1 or 2 and yes that's everytine you take the collars of the charger. Hope that answers your question.

When you are programming the remote to the 2 collars you will be able to set up them up desperately.With the ability to send the vibration to different dogs at different times. I called the customer service number that is included on the box and a very friendly, helpful guy walked me through doing this. Took only a few mins.

You can get the corresponding remote system from SportDog (see their website) for relatively cheap, which you can connect to multiple collars.

Thanks for your question. Please kindly note that this item can control up to 5 collars at a time.

I have Dogtra 282 pair. Just tried it buzz and zap. Not at same time but can do one collar the other very quickly.

I use this with two dogs and it works great. When we go to the park, I just have to carry one transmitter to control both dogs. I specifically bought this because of this feature.

Can be used by multiple collars, it's pretty variant in size from medium to large dogs, I assume to use multiple you would have to get multiple collars

Yep! In fact, with our two dogs we started out with only one collar. Later on, we found out we needed a second collar because the other one had become an escape artist as well. We went to wally-world and bought a second collar there, activated the collar, and it was good to go!

The remote has settings for both collars. Collar 1 or collar 2. Very easy and it works great. The only negative is that the rechargeable battery in the collar runs down in less then a week and needs to be recharged again

My son has two dogs and uses a single transmitter. You obviously need to pay attention but the controller is very straight forward. He loves it.

I can not think of very many circumstances where you would want to correct 2 dogs at the exact same time... you would be much better off buying the 2 dog system. Look at the Dogtra 1902NCP model -- this model lets you correct 2 dogs independently of another with a single remote. Also, PLEASE take the time understand how to use a remote trainer before using it -- there are many videos out there (both free and paid) that detail how to use a remote trainer properly.

There is a button on the right side of the remote that allow you to select from collar 1 or collar 2.It can get tricky when switching but you get used to it.

Yes. That is one thing I like about the collars you can program them to work with both or individually. I have mine set on #1 for one dog and #2 for the other dog. That way I correct the one that is misbehaving .

The Alpha will control up to 20 dogs with the one controller. Its fairly easy to operate with 2 dogs. I run 2 dogs with my Alpha and love it when it works. I had problems with one collar losing gps communication. The training collar side would still work so I would call the dog in and turn off the collar for a few seconds then turn back on and it start working again. This would happen once or twice on a all day hunt on some hunts not at all. I returned the collar to the retailer for a replacement which took much longer then it should because of backorders from Garmin. Other then then collar problem it has been a game changer for me and the way I hunt chukar here in Nevada. The Alpha will control up to 20 dogs with the one controller.

If you are going to connect the 2 sets the all you need is 1 controller. If you are going to use them in separate situations you will need two controllers.

We have 2 dogs - their individual collars are triggered by the barking offender only. They do not trigger the other dog's collar (the non-barker). Best. Collar. Ever. There is peace in the house!
