Great For Dog Training On A Budget
At first I was a bit skeptical. I wanted to get a collar where there was multiple settings and options, not just a button to shock my poor stubborn pup on one setting. I found this one and saw that it advertised shock, vibration, sound, and was rechargeable. Not only that, but it also had multiple levels. It was the only one I could find like that under $100, so I bought one and hoped for the best.
Am I glad I did! My dog would never come when called. When you called him, he would immediately sit down and just stare at you until you tried to go get him, in which case he would run at full speed the opposite direction. He refused to come and his training wasn't progressing. This collar did just the trick. It has 100 settings, but I've never had to go higher than 3-5. But now I rarely use the shock and just use the vibrate or sound mode to get my dog's attention. I don't use it 24/7, but now even after taking the collar off my dog will sit and stare for a moment, but then will come charging back at full speed. It's beautiful, and I hope to continue using the collar as a supplement to training.
WARNING: I tried the shock on my arm at levels 1-6. At level 6 it got to the point where my whole body jolted and left my skin tingling for a couple of minutes. Unless you're looking to defibrillate your canine companion, I advise starting at level 1 and working your way up to the minimum level that will get your dog's attention.
