Great for even my most stubborn and works great for my Cockapoo up to Great Pyredoodle!

Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2019

I love that I can set this from level 1 through I believe 8. My most stubborn dog at first needed level 4 or 5 to begin with. With regular use in training, I use level 1- 2 for correcting two of my dogs and level 3 headed for level 2 for the other dog. I love the PetSafe products. I previously used PetSafe play and stay but it didn't give enough area for my dogs as we live on seven acres and it kept my little guy right up against the house. Our plan is to go with underground PetSafe so they are more free to roam the grounds. You can expand from one dog to three dogs!

You won't regret purchasing this item!

charge doesn't last

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2019

The collar takes 10 hours to charge, and the charge only lasts 30 minutes before needing to be recharged. It is very easy to use but that doesn't matter when it only works for 30 minutes then has to be placed back on the charger for 10 hours. For it costing over 70$ it should last longer than 30 minutes. Very disappointed.

This collar worked great for my dog

This collar worked great for my dog. I adopted him from SC and later found out he was a runner. Now he stays around my house even without using the collar. In fact, the company's support team is wonderful. After 6 months of use I was having problems with the remote connecting with the collar. I called the customer service line and after trying a few things they sent me a new remote without asking for purchase verification. I just told them I believed I had purchased it through Amazon within the last 6 months. Unit is now working fine if needed.

Works great but really slow to charge

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2019

First the good news... this unit works great! It is easily adjustable from a 1 which is so mild that our dog doesn't even notice it up to a 4 which makes him wince. We use it on a 3 which gets his attention without really hurting him. We have had it for about 2 months now and totally changed our dog. He was bad about not coming when called. Now with the collar... he immediately comes to us when called even if in the very back of our 2 acre fenced yard.

The only bad news is battery life is just ok and charging is terribly slow. It takes a solid 16 hours to charge back from totally drained. If partially drained... it still takes 8-10 hours. With a full charge, we get only 8 hours of use on the collar. The transmitter seems to do better with about 12 hours on a full charge. So if you plan to leave this on your dog when you go to work... it will probably be dead by the end of your work day. Fortunately for us... he now comes when called so we don't even turn it on... we just show him the transmitter in our hand if he hesitates when called and he comes running. If I were doing it again... I think I would order 2 of the collars so I can alternate days.

If the company would modify it to allow for faster battery charging... this would be a great buy.

Very easy to use AND IT WORKS. Some have complained about batt life...I've never had an issue. As long as as you aren't trying to bbq your animal, batt life won't be an problem. Low setting shocks are MORE then enough initially (Lvl 1 or 2)....the beeping is far more effective. In my case, the beeps were enough and worked in first week. Highly recommend.

I purchased it on Jan 16th and recived it today Jan 19th, expect delievery was Jan 25th, which was awesome. I have the same one but smaller. I have had that one for over 3yrs and I have had no issues with it. I love this one I bought on here. Its big and very smooth. It didn't take long to charge it. I wouldn't buy the ones that takes batteries, the charge one like this one is better. I had bought a $40 one that was battery and it stopped working in a few weeks, it doesn't hold a charge much. I am happy with this one. Great price. My other one cost $160, 3 yrs ago, which they are still that price and more in stores. Picture of the new one on left and my old one on right. I needed one for my other dog.

Great training collar!

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2019

We bought this collar for our GSD and it has changed our lives. At first I was hesitant because I did not like the thought of hurting her. We started low and worked our way up while training. The strongest we had to use was a 4 and only when she was overexcited and not responding to level 3. We are now at the point where we just have to hit the tone button and she responds immediately. The collar is waterproof, so if your dog loves the water, this is a great choice!
Never had an issue with the battery life. We put on in the morning, take off at the end of the day and charge overnight. Highly recommend.

It was good when it worked. Inconsistent quality, unreliable, no support either

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2019

UPDATE: Unfortunately, we're having trouble with the 2nd collar we purchased here - it doesn't hold charge, it shuts down by itself in the middle of the walk and overall is very unreliable. We tried contacting customer support, no reply in weeks, so I would assume you buy at your own risk. It might work, it might not. No guarantee and the price is pretty high for that.

__________________________________________

We've been using this collar for 3 years and just bought a new one because the battery life decreased and the scrolling power thingy started shedding rubber. But we've been actively using it for 3 years, wearing (but not using) every day. This collar is EXTREMELY durable, heavy-duty, sports item with an AMAZING range of like a soccer field! I know some people might judge us for using it, BUT. They would stop right after my over a 100 lbs GSD mix would knock them down.

This collar keeps me in control of every situation, like a squirrel or a cat, you know what a mean. I bought it right after my dog chased something across the road and the car stopped right in front of him... It's absolutely irreplaceable for high-energy, large size, alfa-dogs like ours. Thank you for this wonderful item, IDK what we'd do without it.

PS: please make sure to give your dog enough work and walks to release their free energy, don't JUST use the collar to discipline them - LOVE, CARE and TRAIN them, be patient with this intrusted to you life. <3

Oh, and the price shouldn't be over $70, because some sellers double the price and we almost bought it for like $120 instead of $60.

I love the product but hate that batter replacement is questionable.

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2017

I'd like to give Petsafe a 1 star and a 5 star, but I'm opting for a 4 star compromise. Huh? The fact that you can't replace the battery in what is the best long range static dog trainer available for the money really stinks. It IS replaceable, but since the only battery available comes from half a work away, I had to buy another entire set so i wouldn't be without one for the long daily walks with my newish puppy. If'n he takes off chasing a deer without me having this he may not find his way back. The battery is actiulalklq pretty easy to replace & like all rechargeable is only good for a year or so and needs charged every few days.

The product itself is great in its form and function. No need to shock your dog folks. Make sure that color fits well and then find the LOWEST level of stimulation that makes your dog notice. A wince, not a yelp is best. A beep and then a gentle static and they learn pretty fast. You'll soon need nothing but the beep for a response. And by the way, you can have many combo's of settings 2 beeps with one sounding exactly like the beep from an invisible fence collar. I have mine set for beep on side button. Then button 1 is level 1 of 9 levels of "stimulation". Button 2 is 2 levels higher, or in my case a level 3. Even my large terrier will yelp at a 3 stimulation. No need to zap them at a higher level unless your dog is Kudjo.

This brand is my FAVORITE for E-Collars!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2019

Okay so I had one very similar to this one. I actually typed in the actual product code and this is what appeared. I immediately bought it bc at the store this product usually cost over a $100. My last one lasted 5 years! LOVED IT. This one works well, but the beeping sound is very low, I barely can hear it at all. Sometimes I don't know if I am beeping it at all. The other one was loud, I didn't have to keep pressing it. The antennae is bigger and longer, so when I put it inside my pocket it sticks out - that I don't like. Otherwise it's a good product. Great for the dog, keeps them trained. No need to use the electric part of it after the initial use because they get the message. So please only use the beeper on your dog, he will understand. My dog is yard trained, he won't go outside my boundaries. He knows what not to do. I bought it for his barking. GREAT PRODUCT! WORTH IT!
