A dog training system, comprising: a receiver configured to generate a stimulation to an animal; and a transmitter in electromagnetic communication with said receiver, said transmitter including a command input device for inputting a training command input into said transmitter, and a transmitter controller connected to said command input device, said transmitter controller configured to translate said training command input into identification data and command data, said transmitter controller generating at least one forward error correction codeword from said identification data and said command data, wherein said transmitter controller generates a first transmission packet with said at least one forward error correction codeword and a second transmission packet substantially identical to said first transmission packet including said at least one forward error correction codeword, a modulator connected to said transmitter controller and a transmitter antenna connected to said modulator to produce a wireless signal of said first transmission packet and said second transmission packet, wherein said receiver includes a receiver antenna connected to a demodulator and a receiver controller to receive and demodulate said wireless signal to produce a received first transmission packet, said receiver controller being configured to decode and error correct said received first transmission packet using said at least one forward error correction codeword such that if said received first transmission packet includes non-correctable errors, said receiver controller receives and demodulates said wireless signal to produce a received second transmission packet and said receiver controller is configured to decode and error correct said received second transmission packet using said at least one forward error correction codeword such that if said second transmission packet does not include non-correctable errors, the receiver is configured to provide a stimulus to the animal, wherein the receiver is configured to disable receiving of said wireless signal for a period of time if said received first transmission packet does not include non-correctable errors. a receiver configured to generate a stimulation to an animal; and a transmitter in electromagnetic communication with said receiver, said transmitter including a command input device for inputting a training command input into said transmitter, and a transmitter controller connected to said command input device, said transmitter controller configured to translate said training command input into identification data and command data, said transmitter controller generating at least one forward error correction codeword from said identification data and said command data, wherein said transmitter controller generates a first transmission packet with said at least one forward error correction codeword and a second transmission packet substantially identical to said first transmission packet including said at least one forward error correction codeword, a modulator connected to said transmitter controller and a transmitter antenna connected to said modulator to produce a wireless signal of said first transmission packet and said second transmission packet, wherein said receiver includes a receiver antenna connected to a demodulator and a receiver controller to receive and demodulate said wireless signal to produce a received first transmission packet, said receiver controller being configured to decode and error correct said received first transmission packet using said at least one forward error correction codeword such that if said received first transmission packet includes non-correctable errors, said receiver controller receives and demodulates said wireless signal to produce a received second transmission packet and said receiver controller is configured to decode and error correct said received second transmission packet using said at least one forward error correction codeword such that if said second transmission packet does not include non-correctable errors, the receiver is configured to provide a stimulus to the animal, wherein the receiver is configured to disable receiving of said wireless signal for a period of time if said received first transmission packet does not include non-correctable errors.
