 ON/OFF Switch could be improved January 11, 2007
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
Unit is small and compact. The hand control is compact as well with a belt clip which is handy. The price is fair but a bit high. It has both sound and shock options. We have been successful with the sound virtually 100% of the time with our Golden Retriever. The only drawback is the on/off indicator. You press a very small button and if it is being turned on-the LED blinks twice. When you press the same button again--to turn off- it blinks 3 times. The LED should stay lighted when in use and blank when off. Otherwise you really don't know if it is on or off and you could drain down the batterys. It would have gottene 5 stars otherwise.
 batteries need some help January 9, 2007

You will end up spending more on batteries than the collar itself. I've replaced the batteries twice in a month and have delivered very few actual 'shocks'. I'll go with a rechargeable collar next time.
Wonderful Product When Used Correctly January 4, 2007

First of all I have yet to have battery problems with either the receiver or the remote. I've had to replace the receiver batteries once in 2 months, and I think it cost me all of $3 total.br /br /The remote so far has been wonderful. I got it initially for my 9 month old Saint that is now just over 100lbs. She had started getting aggressive with me at certin times of the day. That has all but stopped. I've started using it for jumping on people and trying to get food from the dinner table since then and still love it. For the most part it only requires the tone now. I was quite hesitant to try a shock collar, but both my husband and I tried it on ourselves first and it was not painful. br /br /It is simply a distraction to the bad behavior that she does not associate with us. In that sense she will see the negative distraction as something to do with the behavior or object and continue to associate that when we're not around. If it's simply us saying "no" repeatedly she will only think not to do something when we're right there watching. In conjunction with behavior training this collar is excellent. However, I do not recommend this collar if you are not willing to research and read how to use it effectively. Simply shocking your dog at any moment is not going to help.br /br /The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it seems the adjustable strength is dependent on how far away you are from the remote. A foot or two away and we didn't feel anything under 4 on the dial. You need to pay attention to how your dog reacts at certain distances to judge the level. You're dog should not be jumping out of his skin, look for smaller reactions and a general distraction. Be prepared to adjust the dial depending on your dogs response and distance.

Wonderful product to help the stubborn dog learn the lessons. No matter what I did, (even after professional training,) my dog would keep jumping on people. Since I got this trainer, she's not jumped once. Wonderful product when all else seems to fail.br /br /To all those who had problems with the battery: turn it off when you're not using it. Mine's lasted for 3 weeks now with no battery change.
Expensive to operate December 14, 2006

This will deter your dog from barking, but the cost for battery replacement is expensive. Setting the dial to a lower shock number is helpful, and it only takes a couple warning sounds followed by a short zap to get the point across. After which, sound warnings will do the job. But, even after only using sound to warn your dog, the batteries run down quite quickly and will need to be replaced every 6-10 days.
