As described, albeit stronger than anticipated still a very good product.

love the beep beep & vibrate on the collar thats all it takes to stop my dogs barking

I am a young pet owner who grew up with having a dog and other pets. Of course once I got my current dog, I took all the responsible compared to when I was younger my parents sharing the responsibility. With this in mind I am not a professional or advance trainer at all. I am still learning and trying what’s best for my dog. My dog is 8 months old female and is a short haired Louisiana Catahoula Leopard mix. She is very high energy, affectionate, intelligent, but stubborn as well.With this in mind, training and keeping her attention on me 24/7 has been a constant challenge. But let me tell you. Once I put this collar on her things changed immediately. She stopped jumping, pulling on the leash while going outside for potty time, overly barking, and basically turned back into the chill puppy she was around 3 months when we got her. I could easily let me walk around the house without me worried about her chewing up everything in literally less than a day of using this collar.Everything you need to know:When you first open the package I would recommend charging it to make sure the battery life is good then I would read up on the instructions to get a good understanding. After that look at the remote and immediately turn down the power level by holding the button that says “level”. When I opened it it said level one, frequency 85 which is way too much to do. I lowered it as much as I could which was around 10 and by then we had tested around the level when she would misbehave and she immediately corrected her behavior. It is at the point where I only have to turn on the remote and the remote to make a beep noise and she knows to look at me and stop whatever she’s doing. I would recommend to only use the shock button when the other two options are not getting your dog’s attention to stop whatever they maybe doing that’s bad. The vibration and ring is plenty to use for quick correction without any pain involved.Literally fast and immediately results. My family and I are thankful and very pleased with this product. Do not pay over $100 for an e collar when you have this product here for under $50. Trust the reviews and do thoroughly read the instructions and reviews on how this works because the shock button is strong so BEWARE your dog will yelp from the shock so ise cautiously this is for a last resort. Buy this product. You will feel much more relaxed and so will your dog when they understand what’s good and bad behavior. FYI this is not a sponsored review.

May bee this unit is OK for US gentle dog breeds like pit bull's but here in Australia my Australian cattle dog hardly even acknowledges the shock even on setting 99 he still barks and jumps all over visitors despite my pressing the remote, he happily greats all my guests with barks, and carrying on, so collar didn't work for my dog.

So far it is working, I have an English Bulldog four months old that has a bitting issue. No it is not your normal puppy bitting it made me go for stiches twice. One time on the leg and two weeks later on my lips, she jumped on my face while I was correcting her as the trainer taught us.I spent $1.6 k on training at home and at a dog-school and she still has issues. I had to have her on her choke leash inside the apartment all the time and she has not.giben up the strong bitting.The kennel owner did advise she as the litter alpha, but he said that she had the best bulldog temperament as well. And she does, she is sweet but also thinks she can dominate us.So I got this collar sent over to Brazil where we live, it arrived rather quickly within a week. Taxes and duties where paid by the DHL carrier even though it was not necessary, we only pay duties on imports that are over 50 dollars here. I never understand why that happens with Amazon shippings to Brazil, they always pay duties even when it is not necessary.The ecollar box inside did not had a seal, but it appeared to be new with the exception of the controller that has tiny scratches on the LCD.At a total cost of 100 dollars I could not send it back, maybe that is why the seller sent it to me, he knew International shipping was not going to complain and lose $100.Things I miss:-A clip on for the controller-The ability to adjust the intensity of the static as you press the static button. My puppy has not felt anything until 20 so I had to keep doing the static until she felt, I was a little scared of that because for me level 4 was enough ( on my skin).-a more comfortable collar, bulldogs have sensitive skin and the material a very harsh nylon.-easier way to adjust for sizeNow for the works:On the first day, I just used the vibration for correction, and bell for positive reinforcement (as a clicker). It worked very well on that first day and we use it for 5 minutes only as it was late.The second day we went for a walk, she stops at every single person to say hello, and I always had to choke her to continue the walk. With the vibration it worked but not all times.She started paying more attention to me without having to give short pokes on the chocking leash as the trainer told us to.At home when playing with my son she started to rough play biting him, then I turned to the static and I had to do the tries until found a correct level. We always use the shiii or ah command with the static so she knows that we are correcting her. She stops and started answering better to the "shiiii" and "ahhh" command when we want her to stop. We have been using it for three days now, so we still have a long way to go.I told my son that she needs to be wearing it everytime she is with us to avoid any other bad accidents, and if not she needs to be on the leash. He does not like the static, but he knows she can hurt us and will get worse as she grows, so she needs to learn to behave within the next two months.Training a dog is hard but I hope this device will make it easier for us. I had several dogs throughout my life , I trained them all without this device.I trained bulldog Campeiro to work with cattle when I was a teenager and lived in a farm, I trained a doberman for agility, I trained a cocker spaniel when I moved to an apartment in the big city. I trained a Whippet as a companion. Never had a biting issue, I was very close to returning the puppy to kennel and cutting out my losses, but we do like the puppy. And the professional trainer is also a behavioral trainer so we felt the need to give it the last shot.In two months I will update here.

the dog training collar is a good addition to our dog training. there are 3 different modes and able to set the intensity for each, allowing us to use the right mode with the appropriate strength for every situation. we mianly used this device to help us with leashing pulling and it allow us to communicate and correct the wrong behaviour effectively. my dog has react positively to the training and has improve on her walk. we can enjoy our walk with her even more than before. We plan to start more on off leash recall and training with the collar. highly recommend this training collar to fellow pet owners!

These training collars work great. The collars themselves are large and adjustable. The three feedbacks are an audible beep, a vibration that can be held for continuous feedback, and lastly a static shock. One of my dogs responds better to the beep and the other to the vibration. Learn and use what works best for your animal and use that. I do wish the beep could also be used in continuous mode but it can be pressed multiple times for the same effect.The shock can be raised or lowered in intensity from 1-99. My dogs both respond at 15 as a last resort.I find it best to do an audible beep then issue the command. if the command is followed respond with a praise word. If not use the vibration feedback to let the dog know and feel a minor annoyance until they do as they were commanded. Lastly the shock can be used as a last resort when the dog is going to be in danger or will not break focus from an unwanted behavior such as barking or chasing after a squirrel.The battery life is good. My biggest complaint is the collars themselves do not have battery indicators like the remotes do. Also that they will shut themselves off after a large period of inactivity. Because I use these to prevent my dogs from getting into potentially dangerous situations I find that turning them off and back on before attaching them resets this timer and makes sure that they will not be accidentally shut off when they are needed most.I also wish there was somewhere on the collar to affix their dog tags.I would and have recommend these to anyone looking to train their dog who needs reinforcement when at a distance.I give 4 stars out of 5 because I believe there is still room for improvement but these are an excellent tool..

We use the buzzer for everything good and reward at the same time. We've found this teaches her that the buzzer is a good thing, then , if necessary, she will feel the vibration if she doesn't listen or obey. Seldom we've had to go to the next level of the Zap, but when we did it was for her own safety.
