Problem solver

Summary:We knew we had a big problem when our dog discovered how to run through the invisible fence to chase our neighbor’s cat and livestock. He just loves to chase those little chicks around. At first, the fence worked on him but I think he had outgrown it. So we finally decided to use a dog collar on him since the fence wasn’t working anymore. I wouldn’t want to build a fence around our house just to keep him inside. During our first training day, I had to “nick” him once when he tried to bolt again. He stopped on his tracks and I yelled at him to come back and he did. After that, everything went perfectly as I wanted. I tried using the tone on him and it worked too. So I decided to use the tone only. Although the stimulation on these collars are said not to harm your dog, I still wouldn’t want to use the shock on him all the time. This collar works great!
Pros:Woks great

Astounding performance

Summary:I wasn’t really into dog collars before. I used to believe that they do more harm than help. Our dog left me with no choice though. He was just too much for me to handle. He was very hyperactive and he loves to run around a lot. And living in a farm, this is just too much of a hassle. There are a lot of things around him that gets his attention and ups his excitement. He would chase anything around and nothing seems to stop him no matter how hard I scream at him. We trained her using this collar. We taught her the boundaries that he needs to follow. If he tries to go past those boundaries, we press the tone button and if he doesn’t responds, we zap him with the lowest level setting. He quickly picked up on this and has been very obedient ever since. I’m very happy I decided to buy this product.
Pros:My dog respond very well, Best Product

Summary:I bought this collar to train our Lab. The instructions were very easy to follow and it was also very easy to set-up the system although I do have a lot of experience when it comes to using dog collars. The collar fits our dog perfectly. For extreme cases, we occasionally have to shock our dog but we use the lowest setting. Most of the time though, he responds to the tone pretty well. The batteries are also performing well. Just be sure to follow the charging instructions carefully. You wouldn’t want to toast your batteries. I would recommend this collar. Just follow the instructions and you will get results fast.
Pros:Easy instructions, Fast result, Recommend
Cons:Batteries

Summary:We have three dogs and we purchased this product to help in training them for basic obedience and also for some occasional hunting trips. So far, the product has been exhibiting good performance. Our dogs have been listening to our commands both in our home and in the field during hunting. They have different temperaments so sometimes, one of them needs to be “shocked” but we use only the low level momentary stimulation. In the field though, we have to constantly use the stimulation buttons. I guess it’s because of the rush of hunting that our dogs somewhat get too distracted to respond to the tone feature. Overall, this product is great.
Pros:Good performance, Great product
Cons:Tone feature

Too weak for my stubborn dog
3 out of 5

Summary:We have a very stubborn dog and this collar doesn’t work well with her. Sometimes we are able to get her attention and she follows our command with it. But most of the time, she is just too strong-willed that she doesn’t even respond to the shock. I thought the collar just wasn’t working but we tried testing it and it was working fine. Maybe this product is just not fit for our dog.
