BigLeash S-15 Remote Trainer
Good Behavior is Close at Hand
Our durable and easy-to-use remote training collars utilize a handheld transmitter to send signals to a receiver collar, helping train your dog and correct problem behavior. The BigLeash® stands out with its digital FM technology and exclusive In-Touch™ Two-Way Communication. It is designed to help pet parents to precisely and effectively train their dog, with more user-friendly features than other remote trainers.
System Features
LCD Display
The display on the BigLeash transmitter gives you more information than any other remote trainer. All the information you need is available at a glance, keeping you informed of the transmitter & receiver status, battery status, training level, and your dog's distance from you.
In-Touch Two-Way Communication
This important feature helps you stay safely connected with your dog. The visual range indicator on the LCD screen shows you if your dog is going out of range – so you can call him back before it's too late.
15 Levels of Stimulation
The BigLeash Remote Trainer offers 15 training levels (levels of stimulation) to accommodate a wide variety of training needs and pet personalities, but not so many that picking the correct level requires an advanced degree.
4 Signal Options
You can select the signal you need, when you need it – audible or vibration, brief or continuous.

What Our Customers Say
Posted on Crystal ZellarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. No one has gotten back to me in 5 days to provide a replacement receiver in 5 days of calling! My dog is getting out every day. Can’t get it but from your local dealer. WTH!?Posted on Earl KittleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been with DogWatch of Columbus for 33 years. They are dependable, courteous and always available when needed. In that 33 years I have had several dogs and they were all kept safe because of DogWatch's invisible fence.Posted on Marty JaegerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pat and Emily were amazing. We had our original dog watch fence put in 9 years ago by them, and always worked great. When our beloved Gunner passed away unexpectedly a year ago we had no intention of getting another dog but changed our minds recently. When I turned the dog fence on there was a break in the line and I called for service and to have our new puppy trained. Pat came out, fixed our broken line, and trained our new puppy. They’ve been doing this a long time and are very professional and dependable. Prices were reasonable and instructions for the remainder of training outlined. We couldn’t be happier with the customer service and care they provide. We highly recommend them for your dog fence needs!Posted on Todd KubliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Would I use DogWatch again? Yes Pat and Emily are great and we really enjoy our hidden fence. Our BernieDoodle does great with it and all has been good with three years. While I would definitely use them again, two challenges I have. 1) Super expensive for any repairs and the lines are not dug deep. 2) When you need to get ahold of DogWatch the phone message system is frustrating and not ideal to say the least. Again the fence is great and I would install again but when you have issues it leaves something to be desired.Posted on Amy BarcusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend DogWatch of Columbus. They installed our fence over 15 years ago and it is still working perfectly. They have helped us over the years train new puppies and do refreshers / system checks when our dogs needed it. Super responsive and friendly team!Posted on Andria KnuppTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful customer service!Posted on Jason HazenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been with DogWatch for several years now. The personalized approach Pat and his team deliver is exceptional. I would recommend DogWatch to anyone looking for an effective and affordable invisible fence system for your petPosted on Robert BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Pat West is trustworthy, smart and dedicated to keeping our dogs safe. He's a pleasure to work with and we're thankful he's in our dog loving community!Posted on Nancy Barrett PaschkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been customers of DogWatch for 25 years and the fence has kept our dogs safe. The personalized customer service over the years has been stellar.Posted on Brian BradleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love our new hidden fence.

You Asked, We Answered
Remote trainers allow you to communicate remotely with your pet. With proper use, they help reinforce your commands and correct your dog’s unwanted behaviors. They provide the ability to train your dog with precise timing and with consistency, both of which are important for effective training.
There are two basic components to a remote training system: a handheld “transmitter” and a “receiver” which is worn on a dog collar. You use the transmitter to send a signal to the receiver on the dog’s collar. Depending on the training situation, you can select one of four different signals to send to the receiver:
- An audible tone or a vibration
- A brief stimulation* (1 second)
- A constant stimulation (up to 8 seconds)
The signal from the dog’s receiver collar can get your dog’s attention or distract him from an unwanted behavior. By obeying your obedience command or by stopping the undesired behavior, your dog quickly learns to avoid and/or stop the tone or sensation which is delivered by the receiver collar.
* "stimulation” may also be referred to as “correction”, “training stimulation” or “shock”
The “stimulation” from the collar is intended to distract your dog by delivering an unpleasant but harmless sensation similar to the static shock you receive after walking across a carpet in your socks.
The BigLeash training collar provides you with multiple stimulation levels. Most dog trainers find they can achieve their desired results using a low intensity stimulation, often barely perceptible to humans. All BigLeash models also include both an audible and a vibration signal which allows you to condition your dog to associate the audible tone or vibration with the training correction, thus eliminating the need for the stimulation altogether.
Always start with the lowest level and work your way up as needed. You will know you have found the proper stimulation level when your dog responds to the stimulation with only a mild twitch or perk of the ears or like you have given him a quick tug on a leash.
Brief stimulation is a quick “attention getter” that lasts only for a fraction of a second, regardless of how long you press the button. This stimulation has been described as feeling like a mosquito bite.
Continuous stimulation is a pulsating stimulation that continues until you release the transmitter button (up to 8 seconds maximum).
In addition to having 15 training levels as well as audible and vibration modes, the BigLeash can be set to level “0” so that you will not accidentally send a signal when you have the collar on the dog but are not actively using the trainer. Additionally, the BigLeash includes an automatic shut-off feature that limits the continuous stimulation to 8 seconds.
The appropriate age depends on the dog and his readiness for training. Your dog needs to have a basic understanding of what is expected of him and he must understand basic commands. Some trainers recommend waiting until the dog is five or six months old; others will train younger dogs if they understand the basic commands.
