Effective and easy to use.
This is a great collar. I bought it for my old hunting dog who only has another year left in her to work. The one we bought her as a puppy finally gave up the ghost. We haven't been hunting yet, but I've used it on her for unleashed walks in one of our forest-y parks. The vibration gets her attention when needed. I haven't had to shock her yet as she has mellowed out with age. I'm impressed with quality of this collar for the price. Now I wish we hadn't spent so much, 10 years ago, for her original one!A good piece of advice I have for finding the starting point for the shock level, is to put the collar on your dog and let them fall asleep. Then, start at the lowest level of shock and press the button. Turn up the shock until their ears move or they stir. That is the lowest level needed to grab their attention and in my experience, doeesn't cause pain to them yet.

Not dog proof
I was very excited to try and use this collar to train our two 60lb with further training. They are a little over 1 years old and we have not yet been successful in teaching them to not jump up on people and things(doors, vehicle). Anyway I purchased 2 of these collars and remotes from 2 different vendors and they were almost identical with exception of the plastic collars. One was matte finish and one glossy. Both were synthetic plastic, were very long, and seemed cheap. I fit them to our dogs and trimmed them so they could not chew on the extra 4 inches length. This was in the evening of the first day. The 2nd day I awoke to find both collars on the ground, and the receivers were both all chewed up and had bite marks on them. I am not sure if they chewed the receivers off of eachother or pulled on their collars until they fell off, but both were destroyed and rendered useless in training now. Our dogs are outdoor dogs and have a few acres of underground fencing that are hooked up to more expensive training fence collars. Those collars they have been wearing 24/7 for months and we have not had any issues with our dogs being able to destroy or even remove them. In fact those collars worked so well this is the reason I decided to try and do the additional collar for individual added training by remote. Tried the treat and word command training, as well as going through a class with them. With trying to train 2 large dogs, I was getting frustrated with the slow progress. I may look into trying a more secure remote collar because I do believe this training method works well with my dogs, just these collars did not last long enough to make any training possible.

Durable, well made, multiple settings and intensity levels
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This is an amazing dog training device! The collar is heavy duty, very durably made, and flexible enough to comfortably adjust on the dog’s neck. The training system works with a receiver and nicely designed remote control, small enough to fit in your hand or carry in pocket. Begin by threading the collar through the receiver’s lugs, then buckling it onto the dog. The remote and receiver’s rechargeable lithium batteries hold a full charge for a very long time. This set comes with a detailed instruction book, making the use of the training collar very easy to understand and operate. The remote has 9 adjustable intensity levels, and three training options to choose from: electric beep, vibration, or shock, that you can set or change with the remote’s setting controls to find what works best, and a window to digitally read the levels. I started out using the beeps, always using a command for my dog at the same time, and found the vibrations along with command got his attention the best for simple training like “sit”, “down”, etc. I found the shock option worked best for problematic barking. I also added the extra contact tips that come with the set because my dogs hair is so thick, to get closer, more direct contact with his skin so I could keep the intensity adjusted lower. Another feature I really like is the receiver is waterproof so my dog can go out in the rain without me worrying about damaging it. I would highly recommend this dog training collar, I’ve had great results!

amending previous review
features that I love that weren't on previous training collars:the screen lock switch = no accidental signals*much stronger antennae* = essentially not breaking the antennae when I sit down with it in my pocket .more flexible collar and covered prongs, sleeker transmitterall black blends in with my black dog's coat.Six months later it is trash. First the collar was delaying the response, then it completely ceased to operate at all. I really only got about 3 or 4 months of good use before it started deteriorating.

Love love love
This collar is exactly what I have been looking for for my dog! I like how I can warn with a beep and then a vibration before the shock he has already started responding to the beep so we don’t even have to push the vibration button much anymore and the shock even less but it’s nice to know it is still there. We have large family gatherings and he is always chasing after the little kids and knocking them down so I am excited to see how he does with the collar at dinner in a few days!

Does what it says it does and is easy to use
So why not 5 star review? It isn't powerful. I have an 11lb dog who goes ape sh#t when someone comes to the door. I bought this to deter that. It does not stop the bad behavior. Maybe my dog is just that goal driven that it does not affect him in the heat of the moment? I did try it on ankle and it does shock, but not hard. more of a nuisance. However, it does work just as the seller described.

Keeps my dog from running away
We have a large ungated driveway and I've been looking for a way to let me dog play in our yard but not run out the driveway entrance. He is a lab border Collie and very energetic. It was a little tough to get the collar on, but once we figured out how to do it once, it really was not a big deal the next time.we started on the lowest pulse, but he definitely needed the highest to get through his thick fur. It worked beautifully! I love that both the collar and controller are rechargeable. It was super easy to set up and figure out. This saved tons of money over the invisible fence option I was looking to do.
