I am still not impressed by this collar. I bought because all of our close friends stated this was a good brand. I am having to charge this collar more than the cheaper brand I bought for it to not work or hold charge longer than a day. I really got my hopes up with this collar and beings I paid what I did for this, I’m highly upset.

What’s to say. It’s a great tool. We have six dogs out on walks for them on trainers. Does just fine, keeping them away from cattle and occasionally from chasing wildlife that is encountered in the fields. Wish they came in more colors though

I got this for about 6 months. The most frustrating thing is the charging cables. The previous one I owned and this one the little plastic plug broke off inside the unit. The one I have now I am continuing to use it by carefully inserting the metal tabs where they go but geez PetSafe what is with the proprietary charging ports. Would also be nice if you could see what %charge they are at, or that it is charging... But it is good, the beeps bring him back 90%of the time.these should not be left ont he dog for extended periods, especially if you have multiple dogs. When the play, there is a tendency of breaking the plastic buckle.

I got this collar out of desperation because our very very stubborn and high-energy 5.5 month old rescued husky/lab mix was tormenting our very sweet cat and I needed something NOW instead of waiting for an online order to arrive. Beeping did nothing, vibration did nothing……I ended up needing to use the static shock on level 10 to get a response. She doesn’t yelp or act like she’s in pain, just like something got her attention. She still receives loads of positive reinforcement and is now a totally different dog within a couple of days. Now a verbal command or beeping is all it takes and she immediately quits and runs back to me. I don’t find it hard to use…though the directions weren’t super helpful and I had to google a couple of things. The initial charging did take about five hours, but since then we only have it on her when we need to and it charges at night when she’s sleeping and during the day when she’s kenneled and we haven’t had an issue. Overall, I’m happy with the purchase.
