Petrainer Training Collar for Dogs - Waterproof Rechargeable Dog Training E-Collar with 3 Safe Correction Remote Training Modes, Static, Vibration, Beep for Dogs Small, Medium, Large

Ok we have a nice dog we rescued from a rescue group who in turn had rescued him literally within an hour of being "put down" by the animal shelter.... he is a little over one year in age.....definitely abused but also incredibly stubborn always wanting to chase things and leaving the safe boundaries (he has acres to run on but always wants to head to the highway which is super dangerous)..... so we decided to give this a try. King does know commands....so this behavior is nothing to do with lack on intelligence...but his hunting instinct is strong which is a dangerous thing when you live where coyotes, bobcats, panthers, and other natural predators rule the woodlands....and the cars/trucks rule the highway... He chases anything from animals to huge trucks lunging in front of the vehicles.. This is a SERIOUS Danger to not only him, but to others.....and must be stopped. He is a sweet dog......well behaved except when outside here at our ranch where he goes from King to King Krazy. We are his last hope for a home so we are willing to resort to more extreme measure to help him "learn" what is acceptable and what is not...knowing that the alternative would be likely his death by either the animals, vehicles, or worse. 1st Day our dog King (who is more stubborn than a Angus Bull playing tug of war with a mouse) responded to the audio tones and at times the vibration modes.... no shock level was needed. We were happy with the results but knew that a scenerio would arise to where King would say "I'm Doing it anyways" and off to the races...it was just a question of when and NOT if. 2nd Day King decided it was time to ignore all the warnings and chased the damn UPS truck......ignored the tones...ignored the vibrations... I hated to do it but I was forced to use the shock setting.... it was clear that he did NOT like the sensation and immediately started racing back to within his boundaries.... It was clear that he "made the connection" that he had better stop what he was doing... Later the same day a family member was leaving and "Once again" King Krazy" emerged and the Chase was On.... once again he ignored the repeated warning tones...I used the vibration setting and he paused...but decided the Chase was STILL on and started to move after the vehicle which had stopped (he gets in front of a moving vehicle which is stupid and dangerous....of course no one wants to hurt him so we usually stop the vehicle when it is us). I had no choice but to use the shock setting again.....he instantly got the message, broke off his pursuit, and flew like the wind back to the house & within his boundaries. We are confident that with the small breaktrhoughs made so far that the Petrainer device will result in King learning once and for all.....which as we all know is much better than finding him mauled by a bobcat or something becuase he cornered it. Advice: Buy this version even if you have one dog.....I did because I figured if one of the collar devices were to fail that we would have a compatible backup...it also comes with an extra collar etc...... This is a decent product and I would definitelt reccomend to anyone who needs and most especially if you have your very own "King Krazy" If you've found my review to be helpful, please give me a thumbs up because it helps me too. :) UPDATE December 10: King no longer chases vehicles... yeah I never thought I'd live to see the day but when a vehicle comes down the driveway he hangs back at or near the stairway barking at them (barking is not an issue). He also will not follow me out of his boundaries when I walk or drive out of the area we have trained him to consider HIS territory (he has over an acre+ of land to run in near the house...he does not enter the pasture where predators such as Gators live nor down the driveway toward unknown and known dangers such as cars,coyotes, panthers,bobcats,etc). So this Petrainer product has allowed us to Declare Victory!!!

The device arrived exactly as described. The dog trainer is very easy to use, and has a great battery life. I had purchased a static correction collar 10 yrs ago for a different dog, and that one cost 3x as much as this one for a single collar/remote, and required coin batteries as well. I really appreciate that this training kit not only allows me to train two dogs, but also uses rechargeable batteries. My only complain is actually with the strap for the collar; it is of a cheaper material, and does not seem as durable as the collar I had used before (the collar for the older one was braided nylon). However, this is just a minor ding, as the straps are totally replaceable, where the collar I had used before was not (it contained the radio antenna), and again, this collar is a steal at the price I paid ($43). A very flexible tool for training your dog. The older dog did not need more than a day with the collar before she realized that we were serious about training; My 1-yr-old Pit Bull/Labrador mix, however, needs more time under collar, but has learned very quickly that the different settings are an escalation, so when he hears the beep, he settles down; I rarely have to use the static correction setting. I do like the fact that this collar has a great range (I can correct bad behavior from anywhere in my townhouse), and I really appreciate the vibrate setting, as it allows me to properly escalate feedback prior to introducing the static correction. If you have never used a static correction collar, the goal is to get your dog to obey the command before you use the static (shock) setting. You should give the command and use the beep if they do not immediately comply. If they still do not comply after the beep, use the vibrate setting; on this device the intensity of the vibrate setting is adjustable to levels between 1-100, like the static setting. For the static setting, always start low, and incrementally increase the intensity until either your dog stops the offending behavior, or you notice a spasm, whichever comes first. Please think of your dog when you use a collar like this; they are extremely effective and humane training tools in the right hands. To not be aware and compassionate when using a tool like a static correction collar is just cruel. "Shock collars," muzzles and "choke chains" are examples of effective dog training tools that when used properly can be great tools, or just inhumane if used without care or forethought.

A diferencia de otros collares que he comprado, éste se ve muy sólido y mucho más profesional.

I Bought this to help train my two dogs to stop barking when it wasn't warranted. I can't comment on the shock capabilities as I have never and hopefully will never need to use it. So far I have only used the Vibrate and the Noise functions which work great. I use the collars as they came and have not installed any of the screw in contact pins. This way my dogs can wear the collars for longer periods without irritation and they still work great on the vibrate function even on relatively long hair (A Husky/Australian Cattle Dog mix and a Rottweiler/German Shepherd mix) The Backlight on the display is very nice at night/while camping. I really like the ability to use one remote for two dogs, once paired the remote remembers the settings you have for each dog and changing between dogs is as easy as pushing a button. Each setting goes from 0-100. For vibration I have one on 18 and the other on 30, when used it just vibrates like an PS4 or Xbox controller. Another reviewer complained about having to turn them on - all you have to do is push a button- which I do just before I put the collars on- so no big deal. The collars will go to sleep if the dog doesn't move but they wake up and are on once the dog moves, which saves the battery power. Make sure you charge them fully before using them. Mine last over 8 hours on one charge. I haven't tested the range of the remote but they do work for at least 150 feet and through the walls of my house. One note: In all the descriptions on Amazon they state that all the versions are waterproof, but if you check the manufacturers website, 2 are water resistant and one is waterproof. So if your dog is going to go swimming/ in water make sure you get the waterproof one. I would definitely recommend this, I use the vibrate to reinforce my verbal commands and nuisance barking has been cut by at least 50% in the first week and now they respond much better to just the verbal command.

excelente

I have to admit I was a little leery about purchasing this for my dogs. I have two amazing doodles that loves to bark at everything. We put the colors on both dogs and because the remote control can be used on both dogs it makes it really simple to operate. There are three different functions with these dog collars. I wouldn't recommend using the shock function on the collars!! We started using the vibration function just to disturb the dogs barking. And it works amazing, we have now switched to just the sound function. And amazingly it works great. Now all we have to do is put the collars on the dogs and they are absolutely wonderful. No more screaming at the dogs.

this is a great collar, works well. i just wish that the ZAP was alot stronger than it is. my dogs have electric fence collars that zap them well if they get near it and so they are use to it. this option is good for a dog who isn't use to it. it deters them for a day or two then they just go back to barking. so i gave it 4 stars because it would work well for most dogs.
