 Awesome! November 25, 2008

This is an excellent training collar! The remote has a belt clip (very helpful), and has only two buttons: one that will send a "warning" noise, one that will send the "shock". There is an easy wheel on the side of the remote that adjusts for the level of shock you need....again, very easy to use. I have had it for a full month, and am now just replacing the batteries in the collar. It uses the most common size of watch/electronic battery, so easy to find at any Target/Walmart, etc.
This is NOT a "bark" collar, there a remote that requires that you push a button to give the dog the shock....it's truly a training collar that you use only during training sessions.
I am on my 3rd Scottish Terrier, and he is beyond stubborn. I tried everything to stop him from growling and lunging at people when he was on his leash, this is the only thing that has worked! I have only had to go up to level 3 out of 10 on the remote, and have only had to "shock" him maybe 10 times, and now I just put the collar on and he behaves.
I was very hestitant to use a "shock" collar, I truly treat my dogs as my children!! I put it on my forearm before using it on him, it's not really a shock; it feels like pin pricks more than anything. I am a strong advocate for the prevention of animal cruelty, and would never, ever recommend something that is cruel or unkind.
Worth every penny!!

Product is working out well. My dog really has really benefited by having this. I can now let her off her leash and she can run and play, and if she gets to far, or another dog comes around, all I have to do is use the audible beep and she stays put. Range is good, battery life is decent, and the 1-10 shock setting really allows good control over how much shock the dog receives. I keep my somewhere around 4 or 5, which is just enough to cause a slight discomfort, but not scare or harm her. Would recommend for anyone who has or wants to let their dog off leash.
 Works great, but..... September 27, 2008

I really like the collar, it has been a great correction for my Pom's whining. Just don't like the batteries don't last long and the buttons do stick.
oh so happy! September 13, 2008

I have a little terrier or should I say terror. She constantly barks,jumps on people,chases kids, shes crazy. When I tell her to stop,come,off, anything, she just looks at me and continues. I put this on her yesterday and was skeptical on using the shocker option, so I tried the ultrasonic part and it worked. She stopped barking, she came back to me when I called her. She was about to chase someone and I said no and pressed the button and she sat there quietly. I have not used the shocker at all. I know all dogs are different, but this worked on mine. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this collar for a Brittany Spaniel that I am training.
She likes to dig, bark, and chew things up. I like the tone feature.
When I observe her doing something she shouldn't be doing, I turn it
on, put it on her and sit back and wait for her to resume. Once the
offending behavior begins she hears the tone. She stops, makes a
conscious decision to continue, hears the tone again, etc. If she
doesn't stop after the third tone, I set the stimulation level to 50%
and give her a mild jolt. She gets a startled look, yelps and runs a
few steps. Then she returns to smell the site and assess. Occasionally
it takes a little more juice. At 70% she becomes a fur covered cruise
missile headed for the doghouse. I put it on myself to see just how
much of a jolt it had. At 100% it causes muscular contractions and
moderate discomfort. I'm very satisfied with my purchase. My yard
has a lot fewer holes in it. My extension cords and everything else
chewable are intact. I can sleep in on weekends, etc. Very rugged and
apparently waterproof.
