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 .

Glad I purchased this device.

The device came in on time, had it charge overnight for the morning test run. The instructions are a bit vague, I had to look under the question/answer section here to find some helpful info.
I was skeptical and nervous purchasing this but Im glad I did. I do wish the remote was a a bit smaller, it can be bulky carrying and controlling a dog at the same time. I have 70lb bully rescue and this collar has been helping me control and train her along with positive reinforcement. Before she would lunge with full force at other dogs, humans and bikers. I am a short female so it doesn’t take much for her to knock me down (trust me).
This collar does make her think twice. I like the 3 functions. The vibrations does nothing for her lol, she’ll completley ignore it. The beep beep noise gets her attention when there’s no dogs around and I need her to walk next to me and not all over the place. Now the shocking part. I do love the rubber covers that go over the prongs. It’s not metal to skin which gives me a sense of relief. I did test out each shock level on my hand. I thought it would be only right to experience what pain she might be inflicted on. When I turned it on and figured it out, I accidentally shocked myself on 99. That’s the level it is set on when I received it. I was not prepared for it. Through the searching part I mentioned earlier I figured out how to control the levels. So after feeling 99 I wasn’t as scared as much, sense I got it out of the way But I did feel it all the way to my knee caps lol.
I’ve had to use the shock on her, it is a learning experience and you need to find a comfortable “medium”. For her 25 made her yelp and freak out and 22 really gets her to focus on me without the yelp. Under 22 the shock feeling is just a tingle.
I was really against shock collars at first but since I rescued her I needed to be a responsible bully owner. I don’t like the lunging or barking and she does come off scary and I don’t want people to be afraid of her because she is really sweet. I did have to do my own research with books and videos on how to use the collar properly. She is not afraid of it, when I grab the collar she gets excited because that means we’re going for a walk. The charge does last a long time. Almost a month, mostly because I only have it on her when we go for walks. Again I do use this with positive reinforcement.
Despite some of the struggles I went through at the beginning it gets 5 stars because it does the job. I also love the lock on the side. It prevents any accidental pushing of the buttons.

Adjustable setting are perfect!

February 3, 2018

I have a 8 month old lab. Nothing got thru to her, when she went outside. I love the low adjustable settings. Now with just a little beep and the occasional lvl 20 buzz she turns right around and comes running home. Not even the horse pasture next door distracts her.

Dog and owner approved training collar!! Doesn't exactly look like a shock collar either which is a plus.

January 9, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is exactly what I was looking for in a "vibration" collar. I tested the shock part on myself. I can just start to feel it on 10 using the silicone caps. Doesn't hurt. Felt like a very small static shock. My dog notices it on 15. The beep works when it's quiet and there are few distractions. The vibration works when there are a few distractions but she's still overall paying attention. Only once gas she attempted to run off when told not to. The shock distracted her enough to stop, pause, and come back with her tail wagging. Good girl! I hope to rarely use the shock. Nice that I can charge it with one of the many micro USB cables I have. I do wish like all others that the remote was more picket it even keychain sized but I get it. That would make it difficult if you needed to use it quickly. I wouldn't mind for my use. If I get a year out if it I'll buy another at this price. Another bonus is I've had two people so far think it was a GPS tracker and not a "shock" collar. This is a big plus since she's a pit/boxer mix and while she's a big baby many people are nervous enough around her due to the bad rap some gave given her mix. It feels a little lighter than some of the other collars I've seen so it might work better for smaller dogs as well. I'll try to post a few photos soon.

Our Dobie thought she owned us.
After we hooked up the training collar she found she was wrong. Only buzzed her once. Now when you call her, she's on her way

Highly recommend for leash pullers

December 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

My dog is 120 lbs and first it got to the point where I was wearing weight lifting gloves to help me hold his leash and then I just didnt walk him at all. Then we got a personal trainer and that helped a lot but he still pulled from time to time.
if you're like me you're agonizing over whether this collar is "the right thing to do" or not. It is. I tried this collar out on my thigh. a level 10 was like "hmm theres something there" and 15 was "oh ok!". i also noted that the shock was nearly instant with my button press which is important for accurate correction. with my double coated, thick fur giant malamute the first time we used it I had to go up to a 40 out of 100. our second walk with it I was able to dial it down to 26. and during an hour walk I only had to use it exactly 4 times. On the second walk after each of the 4 corrections he would go back to walking with a nice loose leash almost immediately and stayed that way the rest or the time! There's already so much improvement that I can now enjoy walking him and therefore walk him more frequently therefore enriching his life.
The range is so variable you can safely use the lowest setting necessary and Correct your dog, not hurt them. the lock feature also means you don't have to worry about accidentally shocking them when fumbling with it or anything.
I truly believe this collar isnt hurting him even as much as a prong collar would and it's going to greatly improve both our lives together.

Great product at a great price!

December 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

So I purchased this collar and remote system for 3 of my dogs. I recently adopted a 3rd dog and prior to that had purchased another ecollar brand from Amazon, but that system only accommodated 2 collard max. Most of the collars I was looking at had a max of 2 collars and that was just going to be a pain to have to work 2 remotes. I’m not sure how I discovered that this system could accommodate up to 9 receivers, but that definitely caught my attention! I actually 4 dogs total, so knowing I could put the 4th dog on with the other 3 and still only have 1 remote is great! So I ordered the remote with collar and then ordered 2 extra collars. For the price, I’m amazed at all the features and functionality of the product. I love it so far! The collars(receivers) are a little big compared to others used in the past, but to me they almost look like bow ties and I thinks it’s cute on my 2 males dogs! The remote fits nicely in my hand, I appreciate the wrist strap that comes with it, these remotes (in general) tend to slip out of my hand easily so I really like the strap. Once you get the hang of the buttons, it’s pretty easy to switch through collars and type of corrections. I also love that the remote has a lock. These were very easy to set up, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. I did make the mistake of plugging all the collars in to charge them prior to reading the instructions and did end up setting a couple collars to the same number, but it was easily fixed. Another feature I love is the battery life for each collar and the remote. This is so helpful! I realize the collars have flashing lights on them, but in the past with another brand the lights would get covered by fur or I just wouldn’t see them and I would go to tone my dog and find that the collar was dead. So I’m loving the battery life displayed. The receivers were easy to put on the nylon collars and adjust as needed. The only minor issue I have noticed a few times is that there can be a tiny bit of delay between pressing the button on the remote and hearing the tone or seeing them react to the vibration. It has not caused me any issues and tends to happen after they have been idle a while. I understood these are cheaper but so far the quality is great and I’m hopefully they will last a while! I will update my review as needed.

This is I would have to say THE BEST collar I have bought so far . I have a Pitbull mix and he has always been a good dog but recently we add a new kitten to the family and well I’ll just say the litter box is very exciting for him . I put this on him and when he went towards the litter box I used the vibration function and well he hasn’t been near it since. He is my handsome angel once again .

An excellent product so far...

February 9, 2018

I am writing this review after using the product for only two days. It has a sleek design and is not cumbersome for my dog. The three modes; Sound (beep), Vibration, and Static makes it a viable training tool. I have used the Sound mode the most since it allows me to change behavior with the least amount of input from the collar. I have only used the vibration mode once and it was so effective that I may never have to use the Static mode. Charging was quick on both the remote control and the receiver. I like that it has the silicone cover for the receiver electrodes to ensure no harm to my dog in case the Static mode was inadvertently used. Excellent product!

Great Training Collar!

January 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

This has been the BEST training collar so far! We've tried 3 other brands prior to purchasing this one and they were all garbage. This one works great and the collar and remote are both great quality - and the best part is they actually hold a charge! Other ones we've tried wouldn't last a full day! Great training collar overall - the only thing that I would chage is the size of the receiver, it's huge especially for a smaller dog, but I guess that's the trade-off for it being able to hold a charge for so long.
