WHAT MAKES RELAY DIFFERENT

THE SYSTEM YOU KNOW. A NEW POINT OF CONTACT.

Relay Harness shown from three quarter and direct rear views with a compatible receiver mounted on top.

The Relay Harness works with compatible remote training receivers to relocate the receiver's output from the neck to bilateral contact zones along the dog's body. It provides a body-mounted configuration without requiring handlers to replace their established training system.

TOP-MOUNTED RECEIVER

A compatible receiver attaches securely to the harness's dorsal mounting system.

CONTAINED SIGNAL ROUTING

Two independent internal paths carry the receiver output toward the sides of the harness.

BILATERAL BODY CONTACT

Inward-facing contact assemblies create contact zones along both sides of the dog's body.

Learn More About Relay

Relay was designed around a simple idea: clearer communication should come from better placement, thoughtful design, and responsible use — not simply more power.

Explore how the Relay Harness works, why Dawg-Tec developed a body-mounted approach, and the principles guiding the system as it moves from early production into real-world use.

Better information leads to better decisions — for handlers and dogs.
