Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the maximum effective range of the PawGuard™ T800 in real-world conditions?
The PawGuard™ T800 is rated to 1,000 metres line-of-sight in open, flat terrain. In real-world Irish conditions – rolling hills, woodland, or urban parks – effective range is typically 600–800 metres. This still far exceeds the requirements of most Irish dog trainers and working dog handlers. For maximum range, hold the remote above waist height and minimise obstacles between you and your dog.
Q2: Is the T800 suitable for use on working farm dogs in Ireland?
Yes the PawGuard™ T800 is specifically designed to handle the demands of working dog training on Irish farms. With its 1,000-metre range, 16 correction levels, and IPX7 waterproof collar, the T800 is trusted by Border Collie handlers, Sheepdog trainers, and farm dog managers throughout counties Roscommon, Galway, Mayo, and Donegal.
Q3: How many correction levels does the T800 have, and which should I start on?
The PawGuard™ T800 offers 16 static correction levels in addition to tone and vibration modes. PawGuard™ always recommends beginning at the lowest level (level 1) and conducting a response test – increase by one level until you observe a subtle response (ear flick, head turn) without distress. Always use the minimum effective level. Most Irish pet dogs respond within levels 3–6.
Q4: Can I use the T800 for multiple dogs at the same time?
The standard PawGuard™ T800 kit supports one dog. However, multi-dog remote kits are available at pawguard.ie, allowing you to train two or more dogs from a single remote handset. Each collar is independently controlled so you can deliver corrections or cues to specific dogs without affecting others.
Q5: Is the backlit LCD display useful at night or in low light?
Yes. The PawGuard™ T800's backlit LCD remote display is clearly visible in darkness, overcast conditions, and during Ireland's long winter evenings. The display shows the active correction level and current mode, allowing precise control without fumbling with buttons in the dark – ideal for early morning or late evening training sessions.
Q6: How long does the T800 collar take to charge, and how long does it last?
The PawGuard™ T800 collar charges fully in approximately 2 hours via USB and delivers up to 40–50 hours of battery life on a full charge. The remote handset lasts up to 60 hours. This means even the most intensive Irish training schedules multiple sessions daily – can run for several days between charges.
Q7: Is the T800 approved for use in dog training competitions in Ireland?
Static correction training collars are legal for private use in the Republic of Ireland. If you are using the T800 for competition training, PawGuard™ recommends checking the specific rules of your competition body (e.g., IKC – Irish Kennel Club) regarding permitted equipment, as rules vary by discipline.
Q8: What breed is the T800 most suitable for?
The PawGuard™ T800 is designed for dogs 8 kg and above and is particularly suited to medium and large breeds used in working and sporting roles in Ireland – including Border Collies, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Irish Setters, Springer Spaniels, Weimaraners, and Vizslas. With 16 correction levels, it can be calibrated for sensitive breeds as well as more stubborn or high-drive working dogs.
Q9: Does the T800 work if my dog gets wet in a stream or puddle?
Absolutely. The PawGuard™ T800 receiver collar is rated IPX7 waterproof – it can be fully submerged in up to 1 metre of water for up to 30 minutes. This makes it completely suitable for training near Ireland's rivers, lakes, bog streams, and coastal areas, and is ideal for Gundogs and water-loving breeds that regularly get wet during training.
Q10: What is included in the PawGuard™ T800 box?
Every PawGuard™ T800 kit includes: the remote handset with LCD display, one waterproof receiver collar, USB charging cables for both devices, a test light (for verifying collar function), a contact point key, and a full training manual. All components are covered by PawGuard™'s Irish warranty and customer support.
