 Highly Effective January 6, 2009
Kaal Cruickshank (Reno, NV)
Great Training Tool. you can use low voltage to make sure you are being very humane. My Lab was out of control, but after a month of controled training, I shelfed this product and now enjoy a well mannared stable dog. MAKE SURE YOU FOLLOW THE TRAINING DIRECTIONS!! or this tool can just be a form of animal toture.
I would highly recommend this.
 Not for stubborn dogs December 12, 2008

I tried this product on a stray that showed up at the house. The dog was in poor condition so we took her in but she had a problem with chasing the cats and running off across the road. I got the collar in an effort to prevent her chasing the cats and getting hit by a car. The collar however at its highest setting doesn't even phase her, she just keeps doing whatever she was doing. The beep will always get her attention if she is within about 10 yards but after that shes gone again. Also I had a problem with the fact that there is a delay between the time you push the button and the time it actually sends the shock. The delay is about 5-10 seconds. I think that is too long because every now and then she would either stop the behavior on her own and then the shock would come or she would get out of range. I tested the collar out on myself and it does shock but again there is that delay. Also I am not sure that the collar actually shocks everytime you push the button due to the delay I have to watch her carefully to see if she feels anything. Sometime she will flinch when shocked but it is not enough to make her leave the cat alone or to prevent her from running across the road. I will state that this is not because she has no training she seems to infact have had obdeince training and will come, sit and stay when she is in a controlled location. Once she gets into the open though she simply ignores all commands. It might work on a dog that isn't quite so intense or stubborn, but I wouldn't purchase this product again.
Great product! December 12, 2008

We were at our wit's end trying to stop one of our dogs from chasing rabbits and squirrels across the nearby street. I hated to resort to a "shock collar" - it sounds so inhumane - but we decided to give PetSafe a try. I used it on myself, and it doesn't actually hurt so much as feel really weird and uncomfortable. I made sure to look up the proper methods for e-collar training on dogs (http://www.uwsp.edu/PSYCH/dog/LA/castle3.htm), and within a week, our crazy hunter was staying near us and mostly ignoring the furry meals scurrying around the yard! If you use it properly, this is a wonderful product!
 2 rowdy dogs November 30, 2008
AmyB. (Nebraksa)
I have to rowdy dogs at home who just turned over 9 months and they are very much still in that puppy stage. They are constantly running around and biting each other but they do actually like each other. After my dogs chewed up my carpet and part of my bathroom wall I reached my breaking point and realized that they really didn't take me serious when I scolded them. I was hesitant as many people are to use a shock collar but my only other option was to find a different home for at least one of them but I really really didn't wanna do that. So I invested in this product and after trying it on myself first I realized that it should definitely get their attention. After the first night I noticed a change in my rowdiest dog and it was so great to have a peaceful and calm night! I think this is one of my best investments! Thanks so much!
 Works Sometimes November 29, 2008
Gus' Mom (Stockton, CA)
The collar only works sometimes. I checked the connections with the neon lamp and it is lighting up but my dog is not feeling a charge 80-90% of the time even when it's set at 8 or 9. I switched to the longer probs and it still isn't working as promised. My next option is to shave his neck and try to improve contact that way. I noticed that the button sometimes sticks in the charge position and if it happens to be the time that the dog is actually feeling the charge he jumps several times becasue of the continued shock before I realize the button is stuck. If shaving his neck works and I can "zap" him using a 5 or 6 I will say the collar is worth it but if I must crank it up to 8 or 9 and really cause considerable discomfort I won't recommend it.
