 Everything I need in an e-collar for a lot less money! Jan 03, 2012
By Doylez
I've been using this for a few weeks now and so far it's been working great. I prefer to have my dog walk off leash in the trails behind our house but my dog has been known to run off if he catches a scent or spots another dog from far away. So, this e-collar has been a great way to keep him at bay while still giving him the freedom to roam around away from me and sniff things to his delight. I love how the collar and remote are both rechargeable (it would've been nice if they provided two AC adapters - I charge the remote one night and the next night I'll charge the collar). The waterproof design will come in handy when it rains
The remote does shut off after a few minutes without use. While walking, I'll check the remote every few minutes to make sure it's on and if not, press the mode button to wake it up. I wish the remote had one button for vibrate and another button for shock but instead, you have to cycle through the modes using the mode button. It's not hard to do since there are only four modes (shock, vibrate, chime and I'm not sure what the fourth one does...). So you just have to know what mode your remote is in and if you need to change it, you only have to press the mode button no more than 3 times (e.g. mine is usually on vibrate but sometimes I need to quickly change it to shock)
No real gripes about this item which is why I gave it 5 stars especially for the price. I wasn't about to spend $100 for an e-collar and this one does everything I need it to do

 4 1/2 stars- Exactly what I needed Jan 12, 2012
By Ladoncella05
I have wonderful, sweet 5 month old pitbull. She is the perfect dog...well...almost. Her ONLY 2 flaws are the jumping and running to my neighbors yard. She's not aggressive in anyway and is super friendly with everyone. But I'm sick of her jumping. She jumps on people (bcuz she wants to kiss them or is curious with whatever you have in your hand, it was cute when she was little but she's growing soo fast), jumps on walls, jumps on my couch, jumps to see whats on the table, jumps to see whats on my counters and she starting to scratch up my cabinets :/. So I ordered this little device. I just got it today and it did say to charge the transimmiter as well as the receiver but I plugged it in for about 5 minutes each and slapped that collar on her. She kept going on my couch so I set the mode to vibrate and started at 10 (the intensity of the vibration can be increased or decreased, 1-100) I kept going up till she started to respond, I stopped at 50. She was very confused at first but eventually was starting to get it..."Every time I jump on this couch this stupid thing is going to drive me crazy". After 3 or 4 jumps on the couch she stopped. She would want to go on and I've caught her going for it but would stop and think about it and turn around. As for my cabinets, the same thing. I can tell she hates that little thing but I love it. I've tried everything and this is it. She just needs to feel a little uncomfortable and she learns quick. I tried the shocking setting on my forearm just to see how bad it was. At 8 you can feel it. I didn't bother going any higher. I don't plan on using the shock unless its some kind of emergency like shes running into the road and a car is coming and I need something to get her attention quick. I feel like the vibration is enough for her. There are 4 modes, Shock, Vibrate, Chime, and light. I used the charm to get her attention when I want her to come in the house. The light is only a little LED light inside of the receiver, I guess the only purpose it serves is if you press it you know that it's getting the signal without bothering your dog.
If I could rate it a 4-1/2 I would. The only thing that concerns me is how flimsy it feels. I feel like if I drop it (I've dropped both once already) it'll break (it hasn't broken yet :) ). When you take it out of the box and you hold it in your hand it feels like a toy. Another thing is that the transmitter shuts off after a few minutes. I wish it would turn on a little quicker for times when I need to get my pups attention quick.
Other than those two things this thing is great. If you have a dog that's at all like mine this will work like a charm for you. I'll update you if for some reason something goes wrong with this seeing as how I've only had it for 3 hours now. But so far it's been very effective. I hope this helps.

Great price! - works Perfectly for our Beagle Feb 03, 2012
By M. Rosado
We have an 11 month old Beagle, who loves to bark (at nothing & everything) and was a bit defiant when we called him to come in at night. This collar has made a WORLD of difference! He use the beep or vibrate mode as a warning (if he's whining alot but not barking or not responding to the "come" command) & that usually gets his attention. If not a 1 second shock on level 25 gets him everytime. I don't think it really hurts him, just surprises him & let's him know we mean business.
PROS
1 It works & our dog responded with better behavior immediately!
2 I love that it's rechargeable, so I don't have to worry with batteries
CONS
The directions included stink!! But it's user friendly & you can easily figure it out on your own. The mode button turns it on, then changes it between shock, vibrate, beep, & light. The "Y" button on the right delivers the shock or vibrate. The intensity is controlled by the up/down button on the right side of the remote.
NOTEWORTHY-- the vibrate & shock mode both have intensity levels. We didn't know that for the 1st few days & thought the vibrate mode didn't work, it does work we just had it on 0...oops.

Good Jan 13, 2012
By Korey Boyer
I am pretty happy with this collar. I have it on my blue heeler who is half demon and the shock stops him in his tracks every time. The shock setting goes up to 100 so dont be afraid to turn it up. The vibration and beep settings are pretty worthless on him but may be effective on a smaller dog that is not as tough/evil lol. He's only a 30-40 lb dog but he would walk me and with this collar he is doing awesome! The rechargable setting is pretty cool so I dont have to go out and keep buying batteries for it. This dog absolutely loves the water and the collar still works so far. It does have two frequencies to set it too for the wireless remote. So far I'd recommend this collar.

size is small Feb 01, 2012
By Steve WALTERS
"2bit"
the collar only goes to a 18"..so if you need bigger or smaller it will not work..more for the medium size dog.Wish they put this info on the listing...the clips on the receiver that hold it on the collar are terrible..they broke off within a few days..I still have not found it in the yard...very cheap...should be bolted to the collar like others...do not bother..get a better product..I did like the LED and no batteries though..
