DT Systems Electronic Dog Collars
DT Systems Electronic Training Collars for Gun Dogs and Retrievers
DT Systems electronic training collars are built around a clean, functional layout that gets out of the way and lets a handler focus on the dog rather than the transmitter — the R.A.P.T. series in particular is designed with a curved transmitter and rapid access button that puts corrections and beeper control where a handler's thumb expects them without looking down. They connect to the full DT Systems lineup and sit within the broader electric dog training and GPS collar category. The R.A.P.T. 1400 is the core training collar — 3/4-mile range, digital technology, Vibration Assist technology, expandable to three dogs with add-on receivers, waterproof and rechargeable, available in black and camo. The R.A.P.T. 1450 Upland builds on the same platform by adding a fully integrated beeper function with Run/Point, Point Only, and manual locate modes, numbered tone identifiers so a handler running multiple dogs can distinguish which dog is standing from the sound alone — the practical answer for a pointing dog handler who wants training control and audible locate on one transmitter without carrying two systems. The H2O 1820 Plus CoverUp is the dedicated waterfowl collar — built for retrievers and wet conditions with camo finish and the waterproof construction the job requires. The Master Retriever 1100 and Micro-iDT Plus handle the yard and obedience end of the program for handlers who want a reliable, simple setup for the training work that happens between hunts.

Choosing the right DT Systems setup
Start with how you run dogs day to day: yard work and obedience sessions call for simple handling, while upland runs often benefit from a beeper/locator to keep track of a dog you can’t see in thick cover. Pay attention to system families so your transmitter matches the receiver you plan to run, especially when adding an add-on collar later. If you run multiple dogs, an add-on receiver can keep your setup consistent without changing how you handle the controls. For wet training grounds, the H2O lines are commonly chosen for water exposure and repeated cleanups.
DT Systems e-collar questions for hunters and trainers
What is an electronic collar system used for in dog training?
An electronic collar system is used to deliver remote cues during training so a handler can reinforce commands at distance. An electronic collar system is commonly used for steadying, recall, and control when a dog is working out of arm’s reach.
What’s the difference between a beeper/locator collar and a standard training collar?
A beeper/locator collar adds audible location help for finding a dog in cover, while a standard training collar focuses on remote training functions. A beeper/locator setup is most common in upland situations where visibility drops fast.
When do I need an add-on or replacement collar receiver?
An add-on/Replacement Collar Receiver is needed when you want to run another dog on a compatible system or swap a receiver without replacing the full setup. An add-on/Replacement Collar Receiver also helps keep a working program consistent across multiple dogs.
Which DT Systems options make sense for upland work?
The R.A.P.T. 1450 Upland and other beeper/locator combinations are aimed at upland handling where a dog can be out of sight in grass or timber edges. The R.A.P.T. 1450 Upland format keeps the focus on finding and managing a ranging dog.
How do CoverUp systems fit into field training?
A CoverUp electronic collar system refers to DT Systems setups labeled CoverUp that pair remote training with a specific collar style noted in the name. A CoverUp electronic collar system is chosen when you want that exact DT Systems configuration rather than mixing parts across series.
Hey, what DT Systems collar should I look at if I run water work a lot?
DT Systems H2O electronic collar systems are the most direct match when water exposure is part of regular training. DT Systems H2O electronic collar systems are commonly paired with wet retrieves and repeated cleanups.
