She is very smart but there were things that I couldn't deal with

July 19, 2018

I was skeptical about this product, I don't care for the idea of shocking a pet, but this collar has a beeping and vibration setting so I thought I would give it a try. I have a 1 year old mixed breed that I have tried everything to train. She is very smart but there were things that I couldn't deal with, like digging up my flowers and jumping on people that visit. When I let my dog out she would go nuts and wouldn't mind me when I gave her a command.From the time I put it on her my life has improved. She comes when I tell her, no longer digs in my flowers and has become a very well behaved dog. I have never gone past the vibration setting and after 1 week I hardly use any of the settings. The beeping was enough to warn her and if she keeps on the I use the vibration, never have used the shock. I was at a point where I was looking for her a home, now I have the dog I wanted.

FALSE ADVERTISING AND DEFFECTIVE !!!!!

November 29, 2018

I originally was super happy with the product, the instructions are very straight forward and clear and the collar easy to use......
BUT !
product details indicate 15 days stand by time for the reciever to hold charge ,
manual says 40 days
and real life proves its only 5 days !!
dont fall for this garbage this is all out the box !!!
PLUS !
to add insult to the mugging, i dont even have a month with the product and its already defective, it fails to respond many times, and the beep stays stuck , thankfully its not the vibration or shock that stays stuck.... YET
PURE GARBAGE !
BUY ONLY IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYONE ELSE TO GIVE $39 DOLLARS TO AND WANT A DISPOSIBLE OVER PRICED COLLAR .

If you have a dog who needs training, you need this

December 30, 2018

I was about to give my dog up because he was a nightmare, biting, nipping, my arms were bruised and looked like my husband was beating me & he simply wouldn’t listen. I contacted our trainer and they said it would be $4000 to correct his behaviors, i didn’t have $4000! As a last resort i got this, i had to shock him 3 times while correcting his behaviors and now he’s an angel! I shocked myself first, so i felt confident in the adjustable settings and knew i wasn’t really hurting him. This product is amazing! I can’t say enough great things about it! Battery life is great, range is awesome, adjustable settings, shipped quickly and it’s easy to use and understand. Thank you!

EZ to use and quality construction

I love the material collar instead of the plastic one for the south. It gets very hot hear and the plastic one just won't do. The receiver is a little large but I think that most of them are. The transmitter is easy to use and I love the fact that you can adjust the amount of the charge zap that is given to the dog. This is the second training collar that I have used and I love it!

Best product for large stubborn dogs

January 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have a 7 month old black lab. He's the best puppy I could ever ask for, but when he's outside he typically starts sniffing and forgets about me, his name, and all of the commands we've mastered in the house. After associating the chime as a warning tone, he quickly learned when I say "come" I mean it. The chime is a great wake-up to get him out of his "smelling daze" and back to reality. Distance, battery life, and remote are all of exceptional quality. The collar isn't as slim as the picture represents, but it's irrelevant because this product works great!

Great collar and controller!

April 4, 2018

Verified Purchase

Very skeptical as we have spent hundreds of $ on "training shock collars." This is the ONLY collar at this price point that actually works, maybe too good. Beware, make sure you set at 10 power to begin with to see how you dog reacts. We have a German Shepherd 50 lbs, and a Shepherd Retriever mix 80lbs. Set at 40 for our 80lb dog and accidentally kept setting for our 50lb Shepherd. It zapped her so hard she was literally running backwards yelping. Felt really bad for her and is now set at 15. Very effective training devices used sparingly. Compared to many other controllers, this one is really straight forward, clean design. Highly recommend. The other 8 ineffective collars have made there way into the trash can.

works great!

I put this on my very stubborn dog and it only took a few times for her to learn! The beeping noise did nothing to stop her. She doesn't like the vibration, but that doesn't always stop her behavior. The shock though works! I tested it on myself first and it feels like you touched an electric fence. No pain, just an uncomfortable strange sensation. I have only used it on a low setting for the shock, but it definitely gets her attention and she follows commands immediately. I used this collar for about 2 weeks off and on and every since then she's mellowed out. If she does start to act up I just need to show her the collar (not even put it on her) and she corrects her behavior. I have 2 other friends who have used this same collar with great success too. I was training my dog not to jump on people, bark and to stop biting/mouthing people. This worked great to stop all 3 behaviors.

Best Product on the market for training.

July 11, 2018

Bought this product for a year old black lab.... Received product and was instantly please by the minimal packaging.... Came in a small cardboard box with company logo and zero excessive plastic, bravo. I was able to feed receiver easily through provided quality collar. Although, one could put it on collar dog already wears, if you want receiver on dog at all times, very nice benefit... Did not charge immediately, put instead wanted to try it out.... Our dog does not have severe behavior issues, but does like to jump at guest when they enter... I triggered the sound and commanded down, then vibration and down and finally the shock (level 1)and down... I then had a friend come over, who she always jumps on. Friend walked in dog approached, triggered sound, dog paused and then walked slower up. I then triggered vibration and the dog immediately laid down... I did not have to shock again.... Wahoo!!! This device is by far the best product on the market, forget spending 100$+ on top of new batteries every month... It recharges and is humane for the animal with a range of shock intensities 1-99.... I even tried on myself before the dog, if it hurts me, than I will not use it on her.....

Charge lasts about a week (on our 3rd week of using it)

July 11, 2018

My first dog I had an underground fence and I trained him from a pup up. He turned 16 Feb. A couple years ago we rescued another lab who was 5 years old. He already had all the bad habits a dog could have.
The first year I focused on our property line. I take my 4 wheelers and go around the property allowing him to run free and do as he pleases. But this dog was not fixed (and the vet charges more for a dog 5 and up, I am to dutch to pay anything so...) he would run away assuming he was humping everything in site. Finally got that under control. Then the last thing I have left is him peeing on everything in site. He doesn't just pee. He waits until everyone is gone and then lets the fire hose fly. I had to put cameras up so I could watch him from inside, the moment that leg comes up, zap. 3rd week and we now can leave the barn door open, once we let him out of his coup we have to watch him for his initial just woke up pee. Once that is done we are good.
Hoping by this time next year he will be trained to be on his own.

Excellent Training Tool

I have a 65lb Golden Retriever who is 8 months old. I decided on this breed because we have a decent chunk of property, but no fence, we also have 3 kids and needed a family dog. But lo and behold, this Golden sees the first dog/person/cat/whatever excites him, and books it. He WILL NOT COME, and recently ran almost right in front of the neighbor's car, grounds for immediate action. I at first ordered a more expensive collar, but cancelled my order right away when coming across this one with better reviews. I am so incredibly pleased with this collar! It's an affordable price, and we have such a well behaved dog now. The first day, I walked him down to the mailbox as a test, multiple dogs behind fences and possible people contact, he did amazing and stayed right by my side. Until the neighbor's dog caught his attention, he ran into their yard, I used the shock and wondered if it even worked because he took so long to respond, but he did come back to me after a minute. The setting was at 30, I later put it on 8 and put it on my skin, it was very gentle but still a shock (similar to an electric fence if you've ever accidentally touched one). I have found that he responds best actually to the beep sound and the vibrate. I'm assuming because the vibrate has more movement than the shock. I take him out to go potty and no leash anymore! Even if it's pitch black at night on the side yard and he wanders a bit, I can call him, and then beep and the collar makes sound/flashes so I can visually locate him as well as send the signal to him that he needs to listen. He has tested me with this, occasionally he will look at me and not respond, but most of the time I just need to let him see the remote, and he submits to my will. I have a happier and safer dog! He can now go outside and explore more and I have the peace of mind knowing he is safe within my "reach" should I need to stop him from running off down the busy road. I recently took him to an outdoor school track and football field, he stayed right with me or the kids and I never needed to even touch the remote. He was so happy to run free out in the fields with his kids.

Pros-
Easy to set up
Charge has lasted over 8 days, keeping it on all day, taking it off at night
Immediate change in behavior
Options other than just a "shock" as a warning
Handheld control
Adjustable settings
Flash
Comfortability

Cons-
The only minor thing, is that the collar itself could be made of better material, but so far, no issues with that at all. Absolutely have loved this collar.

So far so good! Over a year now!

Good quality, Easy to use, would recommend. Still want to test long range and batteries.

Update: 12/28/18
Still works great after a year! I barely have to use it now, only had to use the shock on low setting a few times in beginning. The sound and vibration buttons work really well.

I love this Dog Training Collar

December 10, 2017

I love this Dog Training Collar! We recently adopted a sheltered pup who had a biting problem and loved to dig up the back yard. With a warning beep and just one zap, he has completely dropped both habits. We only have to use the warning beep and vibration function and he knows to stop what he's doing immediately.

The battery life on the receiver and transmitter are both great. It only takes an hour or two to charge both and last for days. The transmitter allows multiple receivers and custom settings for shock strength as well as a lock button so it doesn't accidentally go off.

The waterproof function is an added bonus. We've only tested it in heavy, wet snow but it functioned perfectly. We look forward to testing it out in the river or beach while taking the dog to swim.

This set is perfect for the price and a great investment for any dog.
