Changed my world June 16, 2008
Following the guide that's included this trainer is great. The fact that it's rechargable is HUGE since it's easy to leave on and drain batteries. My dog has been swimming in ocean and fresh water with no problems.

After following initial charging etc. this product worked great with minimal effort. We have a mid-size dog who used to bolt for the street upon seeing a dog or a squirrel etc. That problem is now gone. We did not need to trim any hair off the dog. We simply make sure that the pins make constant contact with the dog's neck. I tried the unit on my bare arm using settings 1-7 and it generates quite an annoying jolt. We set it to 5 for our dog. You obviously have to monitor your dog while he/she is wearing this. My only complaint is that the collar could have another steel ring on the opposite side of the receiver to hold up the excess length of the collar. I would advise not cutting the excess length in the event you ever decide to sell the collar. Bottom line is we're very happy with it.
Simply amazing!!! April 28, 2008

This thing really works. I got it because my previous collar used regular batteries and needed to be replaced weekly. I can leave the SD-400S charging all night and put it on my dog during the day. He has learned new tricks like "come" and "heal" since I got this collar. I have only used it up to level 3 and that's strong enough for a 80 lb lab. Hope this helps :-)

This product has worked great. I was a little scared to spend the money on this product because I did not know if it would work, but it does. The first day it took some getting used to-me and the dog. After that I can take him out without a leash no problem. DO WATCH THE VIDEO FIRST OR THE COLLAR WILL NOT WORK FOR YOU.
Absolutely Amazing January 6, 2008

Tested on one of the most stubborn dogs I've ever seen - a German Shorthair Pointer. The battery life is good (I usually recharge the batteries after 1 1/2 - 2 hours training session). Also, the claim that the collar and remote are waterproof is true. I have not tested the collar over 100m, as this was not my training objective, but I can confirm that at this range it works fine (usually I avoid allowing the dog getting more than 40 m away... as I train the dog for pheasants and quail shooting).
Something else - I was initially afraid to let the dog running with the collar attached in dense bush (due to the suffocation risk) but if you attach the collar is tight, there is little to be concerned of...
Ahh.. Last, but not least: this is the first time I use such device, and it really simple to get around. Soon I guess I will put away the collar as the dog already behaves.
