Desperate Times...
Having a 6 month old Doberman puppy, who by nature is gentle & kind & loving, but huge size & over enthusiasm for everything began causing problems I needed a last resort after trying various training, techniques etc.
Barking and whining was a HUGE problem, the minute she went out a constant bark or loud piercing whine would start & drive me mad, this was incessant, so after much research & deliberations I decided on this collar.
Also playing with my children became a nightmare because although she meant no harm her size & power meant sometimes they’d would be knocked over or hurt through her getting over excited & thinking she too was a child!!
I can honestly say I was very sceptical and wary about a collar, but after just a few days with it on, she has become a lot more subdued, obedient & a lot calmer. She still has kangaroo tendencies but one tiny zap on level 2 is all it takes & she is back being focused and she stops the bad behaviour, saving me from shouting, chasing/stressing etc.
Just putting on the collar now has the desired effect without even using the shock/vibrate mode. I tried the vibrate to start but due to her size she took little notice, I would not go above a level 2 as I am positive it would cause pain & harm which I am absolutely against, however nipping bad habits in the bud, a quick small shock stops the behaviour that drives you mad & allows you to enjoy being with your dog again.
Also helps to control over zealous dogs with young children who can get a bit boisterous without meaning harm, a quick zap & they calm down & keep their distance.
I would highly recommend this to anyone struggling with doggy behaviour issues, just one full charge and its lasted me so far over a week which is fantastic, quick delivery & great value for money.
Really has helped reign in a lovely natured but hyperactive huge clumsy & heavy
puppy :)
