 Excellent Training Aid October 14, 2007
18 out of 19 found this review helpful
In a nutshell: Excellent product.br /br /Details: I recently adopted a large dog who is very sweet, but also very headstrong. He had the habit of chasing and tackling people and would also to fail to obey when he had other ideas in mind. I worked with him using traditional training methods with success in several areas, but he continued to tackle small children and to get onto furniture and into our trash whenever we weren't watching. Also, despite our having a very good fence around our yard, he learned how to squeeze under the gate. When my husband and I had to chase him down our busy road, it terrified me into seeking a solution.br /br /I asked friends and acquaintances who have large dogs, especially those with breeds known for stubbornness, for advice. Many mentioned training collars. The Innotek brand was specifically mentioned by two. I did some online research, and decided to purchase the Innotek Contain Train. br /br /This system has worked a miracle with my dog. The indoor zone keeps him off of furniture and out of the trash. The outdoor containment keeps him from going under our gate into traffic. The training remote (following the easy to understand instructional training video) allowed me to teach my dog to sit and stay on command. I initially had to reinforce the command with the correction, but he immediately associated the tone with the correction. After a couple of corrections, only the tone was needed to remind him to listen. Also, I would like to note I have only had to use the correction on the level "2" setting. (The collar has settings 0 - 9, with 0 being tone only and 9 the strongest correction). To make sure the device was humane; I tested the collar on my bare leg. The level 2 felt something like the weird tingling feeling you might experience if you touch an electric appliance with wet hands. It was not exactly pleasant, but far from painful. When he initially received a correction, my dog would perk up or twitch his ears and look around. Once he figured out obedience stopped the sensation, he would immediately obey with just the tone. I combined the training with verbal commands that he now follows without correction. To be honest I think my dog is now under the impression that I have supernatural powers!!br /br /After working with the system, our dog has become a much better behaved pet. When our preschool nieces came to visit I was able to assure he would be under control. Friends and family who came to visit before we bought the system and have since returned have remarked that he is like an entirely different dog - a very well behaved one that they are able to enjoy being around. br /br /This product has worked like a small miracle for me. I hope you will have the same success.

We started out with the other major brand of underground fence. It failed to work or contain our dogs. Within one week of use both of our large dogs were contained and safe with this system. The remote trainer has also been very handy for taking the dogs out and about. We had a small problem that required a new part covered by warranty and Innotek had it to us in 2 days. Great product and great customer service.

This is a great item. Make sure you follow the training steps for using the fence though (I thought my dog was smart enough to skip a few....I was wrong.) This product really is great. It is pretty simple and easy to use. br /The remote trainer is great too. I have never actually had to shock Jeb (my black lab) with it. It has a great "tone only" button and that is all he needs to hear to realize it's time to listen. He learned from the fence that the tone means the shock will arrive shortly if he doesn't do what he's supposed to.br /

Innotek tells me that Amazon is not one of their authorized dealers, so they will not honor any warranty. I bought one of their collars and it stopped working after two months. No warranty service if you don't buy from one of their authorized dealers.
