This product, the Spray Trainer from PetTec, is characterized in particular by its high quality and an impressive range of up to 600 meters. It is easy to use and offers a user-friendly experience with five adjustable spray or sound pulses as well as the included lemon spray. With 100 sprays per fill and a runtime of 18 hours, it ensures reliable use. The search light that can be activated at the touch of a button is particularly practical. The remote control allows two dogs to be controlled, which is particularly useful for households with several animals. In terms of the effect, the dog may be irritated at first, but learns quickly. However, the collar may be too large and heavy for very small dogs, while larger dogs have no difficulty wearing it. Overall, the Spray Trainer from PetTec offers an innovative and effective solution in the field of pet training. Nevertheless, the packaging sustainability should possibly be improved to further reduce the environmental footprint of the product. It became clear that this trainer is not only powerful, but also has the potential to strengthen the relationship between pet and owner and facilitate training.
