First off, I am an experienced dog handler of Shepherds and Dobermans. E-Collars get a bad rap because people don't know how to use them properly. It is VERY important that anyone using this or any device like it understand that it is NOT meant to be a punishment or an alternative to proper training. It is a communication tool. You issue the command, if they don't honor it, you issue the command again in combo with the stimulus from the collar. You might elect to wait til the third try at the command to issue the stimulus and work your way down to the 2nd try depending on your dog, the situation, etc. High drive working breed dogs like mine sometimes need a reminder that I'm talking to them. Its a nudge, an incentive to honor commands the first time on behaviors they've already been taught. Start at the lowest setting and work your way up just until you find that sweet spot. Its likely lower than you think you'll need. Do NOT use this as a punishment for things you haven't taught them yet. Thats what reward/treats are for. Put the time in to train your dog with positive reinforcements for the desired behavior. Use this device to remind/reinforce behaviors they've already been taught. I work from home and a house full of large breed dogs can really mess up a zoom meeting so these were acquired simply to control barking and general disruptive behavior that might otherwise force me away from my desk. This device is way better than standard bark collars as you control the stimulus and if you have multiple dogs at home or in your neighborhood, any bark collar that responds to sound will be going off constantly on the dog wearing it regardless of who is barking or if the unit hears something resembling a bark. Thats cruel. I do own some of the much higher priced E-Collars which work well for off leash, hiking, public settings, etc. but can be confusing for many folks. I purchased these specifically for use at home/on my property as they were simpler for my 13yr old daughter to use and I wasn't as concerned w/battery life, wear and tear, added features, etc. at home. I am very pleased with these units. I initially purchased one and quickly got more for all my dogs. I elected to get full 2 piece sets for each dog instead of multiple collars on one hand held unit because the switching back and forth between collars can lose important seconds when correcting a dog. It was easier for me for each dog to have their own set of a different color. Theyre all lined up on my desk while I'm working making rapid correction of the offending party easy. They were inexpensive, VERY easy to program and use, battery life for me lasts up to a week. Just 3 buttons (Beep, Vibrate, electro-stimulous). I only use the vibrate and beep options which is enough. As with most e-collar training, once the dog knows the consequence of not minding a command, they quickly mind the command the first time. They understand what the collar is and behave better simply by wearing it or seeing you reach for it. My house is MUCH quieter. Thank you.

This training collar is very responsive and works well in aiding the training of our dog. The quality is quite good, and the battery lasts a long time. I like the size of the hand held unit- not too bulky. Highly recommended.

This product works great to assist in training. First keep in mind the dog has to know what you want ( learned the command you are giving ) I don’t use the electric shock ( it doesn’t work past my dogs thic fur anyways ) but I used the beep on command, then beep vibrate if he doesn’t listen. It keeps him paying attention to me and gets him to listen to my command the first time. Reduced barking and wandering. Helped training him around a 1 yr old baby. Taught him the command “leave it” before the collar, now when he approaches the baby I say leave it and beep. He listens very well to taught commands.

Perfect. There is a lock on the side so you can’t accidentally set it off. Very simple to use and very effective for my 11 month Doberman Rottweiler! I haven’t had to charge it and it’s been 3 weeks straight from the box!

First of all, the battery life is phenomenal. We've had this for 2 months now and haven't had to recharge the remote once after the first full charge. The necklace has been charged about 3 or 4 times and our dog wears it everyday. The distance it operates at is long. We've had no issues with it being to far away and our dog sometimes runs about 100 yards away before she turns around and runs back. It has long hair and short hair prong options. The only thing I don't like is all the extra strap on the collar. This thing could fit a wolf no problem. The sound and vibrate warning options are great before the zapper.

This collar has been life altering for me and my dog. I live in 24 acres and my little dog had to be on a leash due to wandering into the pasture and getting into all kinds of trouble. Within two days of using this collar, he was trained!!! I used the shock feature one time and never had to use it again. He responds to the vibration and comes immediately when I use it. I love this collar and highly recommend it. Oh and it holds a charge forever!!!

The battery life is awesome, works well, tons of settings, easy to use. Maybe one thing that could be improved, - it's very easy to push the buttons, so if you have it in your pocket, be careful not to give your dog some unwanted shock by squeezing the remote :-O :(

Works good,a little too good.I tried the shock lowest level on myself and it sent my whole hand flying.I have a poodle so I only use the vibration and noise setting and level 1 and even that usually covers it.very effective training tool,only thing I wish the strap didn’t come so long,I hate having to cut on my own,didn’t want to ruin.
