 My bad! Too big for my dog......... August 13, 2008

I ordered this product for use with training my Chihuahua. It was too large and bulky for such a small dog (12#). Appeared to be well made, IMHO would be OK for a dog above 15# or so, minimum. Returned for an Innotek "Lap Dog Trainer". The Innotek was more money and had considerably less features. It fit just fine,however. I used the optional "close" (REAL small dog) contacts. I would rather have used this (Petsafe) trainer if the receiver weren't so large.

Works wonderful. Purchased as per our trainers advice and we have used for 3 weeks now. You do need to turn off after each use or it burns thru batteries after a while and they cost about $7.

I bought this to help train my 9 month old, 7 lb Cockapoo on a few issues that she was having some difficulties with and it has worked WONDERS! I've only had to actually use the "shock" setting a couple of times. Before I used that setting, I always gave her two warning beeps and said "NO" first. Now, all it takes is the warning beep or a firm, stern "NO" to make her behave. Thanks to this device, she no longer jumps on our neighbors when they come to visit, she no longer digs in the hamper and plays "chase" with our dirty clothes (I was running out of socks that didn't have holes, thanks to that "game") and she also keeps away from the doors when people are coming and going without running outside and playing keep-away (which was a big issue for me, since I live near a major highway). She now comes when I call her. The different settings are a godsend as well. My pooch never needs a setting higher than 2 (on a scale of 1-10) to get the point across. One thing I would recommend for ALL owners who buy this---USE IT ON YOURSELF FIRST! I know that sounds crazy, but I think that if you know personally how each setting feels (I myself couldn't go past 7) you won't get overzealous with turning that dial and you'll only put it on a setting that you, yourself are comfortable with. I highly recommend this for anyone who is having issues with training their dog. It definitely makes them start paying attention.

Worked very well! Bought an extra set of batteries and haven't had to use them yet. Just put in on while she is outside to teach her the boundaries of the property and come when called. Made training very easy!
A great rehabilitation tool July 21, 2008

Before using a device such as this on your dog, one must consider that this indeed is an "Advanced" training tool. I would really suggest getting familiar with more simple rehab tools such as a non-roaming leash (regular leash.) Specifically, I would recommend reading Cesar Milan's book "Be the Pack Leader" first. Be the Pack Leader: Use Cesar's Way to Transform Your Dog . . . and Your Life
Here's my case scenario: I have 2.5 year old Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix we adopted from the Pasadena Humane Society. She was in their "Shy Dog Program". In other words, she was a fearful dog. Fearful dogs can either go in to fear-submission or fear-aggression. "Ribbon" went into the latter. She's improved so much in less than one year by leaps and bounds, but still had scary episodes with other dogs. I needed a way to teach her good canine social skills. I wanted a way to prevent her from escalating her fear into red-zone aggression before she would get hurt by a bigger dog at dog parks.
After exhausting other training aids and getting over the stigma of an e-collar, I finally decided to invest in this collar. I'm glad I waited since I created a good foundation with other techniques and tools. I was able to incorporate this e-collar into my everyday rehab exercises with my dog. In other words, I was able to use this collar to communicate to the dog instead of using it as a "negative" enforcement tool. It is a way to get the dog's attention to the handler instead of its fixation (ie. fear of an approaching dog). For example, if I didn't know when and how much of correction to use on a fixed-length leash, I believe I wouldn't have been as judicious on when to hit the "beep" button or "zap" buttons.
Good training tip:
Like other training tools (like a muzzle), when you are initially introducing the collar, be sure to make it into a positive experience. I used treats to have the dog come to the collar instead of having to force the collar on the dog.
