How much should you spend on a dog training collar?

Pick a price range. We sell electronic dog training collars priced between $110 and $750 (one-dog systems). The good news is that there are several nice dog training collars priced under $200. I prefer equipment that holds up over time under heavy use, and I don't mind paying a little more for it. Some dog training collars are sturdier and will last longer than others. I look at a training collar over its expected lifespan and divide the cost over that time. I have broken down all of the one-dog units* we sell by price range so you can compare each collar against the other collars in its price range. (*except as noted)
