Product Description
Don't be fooled by its pocket-sized handheld transmitter--this easy-to-use micro remote pet trainer delivers an array of advanced features found in much bulkier units. The system provides a range of up to 300 yards, nine stimulation levels, a plus-two boost option, a tone-only training option, and a backlit LCD digital display. Rechargeable lithium ion batteries quickly charge in about two hours, and the highly advanced, integrated collar offers a remarkably thin and comfortable design. Used properly, the receiver collar delivers an electronic stimulus that dogs find undesirable. By obeying, the dog quickly learns to shut off the stimulation, thus gaining confidence in response to human commands. For added convenience, the system's exclusive ReadyTest produces a brief, pleasant clicking to indicate the perfect collar fit, plus it shows the three-way battery charge status and warns of potential system problems. The 4-ounce receiver measures 2-3/4 by 3/4 by 1-1/4 inches, the 2-ounce hand-held transmitter measures 1-3/4 by 3/4 by 4-1/8 inches, the collar fits neck sizes 8 to 24 inches, and the system carries a limited lifetime warranty. Innotek recommends dogs be at least six months old before starting a remote training program. For the safety of the dog, a long lead should be used during initial training to ensure control of the situation. If the dog shows signs of growling, snarling, or biting while using the collar, stop immediately and consult a professional dog trainer or animal behaviorist.

Well worth the investment April 28, 2008

We adopted a 7 month old dog that had been thru 5 homes. She was very intelligent, but had serious behavior problems. We tried several training techniques with her, everything from reward only, to pennies in a can, squirt bottles of water, newspapers, you name it, we tried it. They make cartoons out of some of the things we tried. Some things she learned by rewards and praise and sheer persistence on our part. Other things she absolutely refused to obey. She knew what we wanted but she stubbornly refused. The one issue in particular we couldn't break her of was to bully our other dog, who was in her teens and didn't deserve to be bullied. The new dog saw competition so she went after it. Also, we needed some way to control her outdoors.
We finally resorted to the Innotek collar, and the results were absolutely amazing. She immediately responded to it, and most of the time we only use the sound button. This collar stops her dead in her tracks if she's about to leave the yard or bully our other dog. We're working on weaning her from the need to use it.
This collar works. It does have a couple of downsides, however. It's difficult to put on her, very stiff and hard to adjust if she's not sitting totally still. She figured out very quickly that if she's not wearing it, she can go back to bad behaviors, so it will take awhile to get her to that happy place where she doesn't ever need it. The little screw to replace the battery is tiny and not very user friendly. It is one of the least bulky of the collars of this type, which is one of the reasons we chose it.
Would I recommend this collar? You betcha! It helped us take a problem dog that had been dumped at the dog pound twice in her life, who had been thru five different homes, and turn her into member of our family for life.
the best money I ever spent! April 10, 2008

I buy a lot of things from Amazon and seldom feel compelled to write a review. I am so delighted with the results of this product that I had to review it. We have tried for 9 months, since adopting our eighteen month old Golden, to stop him from counter-surfing and jumping on guests. It was no fun to have people over because of his awful behavior, even though he is a sweet dog. I tried everything, reading books, consulting trainers, leashes, etc. etc. This collar stopped both behaviors IN ONE DAY and he only had to receive one correction!!! Now we only use the tone and he stops whatever he's doing. If your dog is trained to an invisible fence, I think the connection of the tone and the stimulation is made more quickly. I am so thrilled that we bought this collar. We had company and served food all weekend and he never jumped or counter-surfed once!! It is a new life for us with him. All our guests enjoyed being around him and praised his good behavior which has never happened. Now we are going to use it on our other Golden for excessive barking in the yard. I encourage other dog owners to try this for resolving problem behaviors. I am so glad I gave it a try
