Great product, but NOT waterproof
Rescued a pair of Newfoundlands that a couple bought just to breed but found out they are to much work so they had ZERO training and no leash presence. With a dog that big that's a big no no as the male is over 210# and the female was at 165#. Both slightly overweight at the time but no by much as the male is back down to 190 and looks great. So tried my normal slip leash to help break them, and the make after dang near dragging me (275 and can hold my own) responded beautifully became a treat to walk by the second outing. Female, is NUTS. She Turner and Hooched through the fence the first day I got her and the big guy had to follow. Super hard to walk. Even with slip lean up where it's supposed to just wouldn't respond for anything. Doing your stops and breaks to get her to listen you almost rip her head off and boom she is trying to run and pull again so break the other way wher she flips almost and boom runs out in front. She would blow through the kids if the front door was open and of course, like us all men, the big guy would chase the tail out and all his training disappeared with her around.... So got these which I have used before when training hunting dogs. Would slowly work in the house with her. Go in another room and call her while beep at the same time. Do it twice and no response then give her a buzz while calling and boom she was here. Move some where else and beep while calling and she was here. Worked great. Was always taught by an animal behaviorist on these collars is, it is a tool and the pets are your kids. The beep is a command/communication. Just like words it's a noise they begin to pair with a task like come or pay attention. The vibration is when you raise your voice or a little smack on the butt for not listening. And the shock is a good whap, your grounded go to your room. It's also to snap them out of their "zone" if they are going to cause harm to person or property".. If all you do is shock there is nothing else. It's a rare thing, but if your the person that only says No and gives a slap on the wrist, if they really want something, it might be worth that to them. So we were in the fenced in yard after about a week of using this collar and her being AMAZING of over where we started, and we are in the backed fenced area off leash. And I see her eyeing the gate. Puts her head down and bounces her butt like "I am gonna do it" beep her and say no she stops bouncing but doesn't move. I said OK let's play... So I walk around the corner and she goes back to bouncing, one step I vibrate her and she belly flops straight down I come around the corner and say NO pointing at her and walk inside... Looking out the window I watch her stand up turn back around look for me and back to nose down butt bouncing ready for this gate. She takes a hard 2 steps and head down to run through it again, ZAP she summersaults and comes right to the back door. Haven't had a problem since. Bout a month later, no able to walk close to 400# of dog at the same time with leash in one hand, behaving amazing, big guy is not doing his supervised trips for his therapy dog certificate, we are at the house and I am on the mower. My little guy tries to bring my phone to be but knows if I am mowing he can't leave the porch until I see him. I get off and the female turner and hoochs right through the screen door, big guy is tail chasing and bolts down the driveway... I run inside to grab the remote and they are at close the end (1/4 mile away) and I hit vibrate watch her shake her head but not stop so I HOLD the zap she starts shaking and still going for a good 2 seconds before finally turning and running back so I let go she turns back around and ZAP. Now she is in a full sprint to the house. Works flawlessly. Take them to the Ozarks, bout 3 months the the collars and have them both off leash in a 10 ft distance while we walk the back roads for a good mile, car comes. Call them and they come to sit while it goes by. And back off to walking. They get out of my 10ft I want them in I just say Hey and a beep and their are back. Night and day from where we started. So we introduce them to the water as the old owners never did and the female is halfway out swimming like crazy. Playing with the kids loving it. The big guys won't let his feet leave the ground so just sits in it. Now he don't need the collar but it helped with off leash commands also max vibrate is the only thing he responds to... Litteraly had max shock on him and he doesn't even react more then moving his ears a little. Tried both collars and prong readjustment, nothing... So we go back in the house and the big huy is just shaking his head and lays down, and I am like what's that noise? Non stop vibrating like someone already posted a video of. Pulled the collar apart and it's full of water. Tried drying it out with no success... So there goes one collar..... Next day the female is swimming and my son comes up and says her collar is beeping, so I dive in to listen and sure enough it's beeping, pull it off and she is off and going. Also realized it must of vibrated too because she wasnt coming to shore as often like I was calling her... Her collar still worked which was the main one needed, but not as good as before, intermittent singles, not beeping sometimes and not vibrating others, haven't had to shock since except for when she darted after a skunk, which thankfully it worked. But now needing to find another pair so they can swim with because they keep trying to get in the pond and it's old Taking it off everytime, not to mention if she gets and another female wind change and feel is like running all the sudden again haha. Easily 5* if you never plan on getting wet Read more
