I’ve been using e collars for about 5 years. After trying and using Patpet, Jugbow and Bousnic, Bousnic is my favorite. My dog, Daisy, a German Wirehair Pointer. Typically use it twice a day. We live on a lake and the collar is totally waterproof. In the fall we upland hunt, 6 days a week, the collar works when wet, frozen or caked a bit with mud. The distance is never an issue for us. The transmitter is laid out perfectly when hanging from a lanyard- Tone on top, Vibrate in the center and shock on the bottom. It’s easy to use, logical. The tone is excellent. I use the tone for 2 things: total recall- holding the tone button until the dog has come all the way back and is sitting in front of me. Also use the Tone Beep for locating my dog while hunting when Daisy is in the cattails or in tall grass. I momentarily press the tone button and I can locate her within about 50 yards. She can be on point, won’t move when she hears the momentary tone. Vibrate- I use vibrate on its highest setting to signal to Daisy stay close meaning she’s going out in front too far. I press the vibrate and Daisy will turn back and wait for me, this isn’t a sit command. Lastly, the shock, I use it on the 6 setting. It is rarely used. It gets her attention but doesn’t cause distress. I’d use it to stop her from doing something like heading off the property. This is a super e collar, I am a fan. Read more

My mother ordered one for her dog before, and I've just ordered another for my own quadruped. She lives with me, so she tries to keep her dog in line as much as she can. In days past, she could first discipline with the fly swatter and then just threaten with it, but her current lack of mobility makes that impossible. This lets her reach out and touch em. It's easy. If my mom can master it, there's nothing to it. She can easily switch between functions and adjust intensity as desired. I've heard nothing but praise from her over this item, and this is coming from a woman that couldn't program a VCR 30 years ago, let alone use today's technology. It works. This is really what matters. Mom started off using the tone and vibration functions, because nobody wants to hurt their "furry kid". But, being a dog, of course he learned those are just nuisances. After the initial confusion wore off, they had no effect. Once the shock function was introduced (top setting of just 6), that changed. Now there is a tangible consequence to the other functions, and he knows what's coming if he ignores them. The difference is stark. Of course, he's a dog, doing dog things. In suburbia, other dogs barking will set him off, but he's doing what he's supposed to do. However when Mom has had enough, she now just holds up the remote without pressing a single button, and it ends right there. Doesn't even have to cycle through everything else. If he's not wearing the collar, the dog still knows what it means. I work nights, so this has been a godsend. The adjustable shock allows her to keep it to a bare minimum, so the shock only gets her point across without causing fear or trauma. We've seen other dogs traumatized by these things, and didn't want that. At that setting, the dog doesn't even yelp - he tenses up for half a second and immediately returns to her side. Doesn't even cower. Of course, this is only after she's warned him and the other dogs are still going full tilt, keeping him worked up. There will be some fitting needs done at first, but you only need a pair of scissors and a lighter to melt the end (keeps it from fraying). Not hard if your dog is still, but if not, that's why you're looking for a collar. Just make sure to use the finger gap rule and you'll be fine. Read more

The shock collar works excellently! My dog responds well to the beep and vibrate functions, so I almost never need to use the shock function. It looks wonderful on my German Shepherd and is made very well. The clip function is very nice. I would recommend this product Read more

We adopted a dog from the shelter and we struggled with leash training for a few months before we finally decided to try an e-collar. She gets overly excited when she sees other dogs and would start pulling, barking, and whining anytime we would get too close to another dog. She is about 50 lbs and very strong, so it was difficult to redirect her and she never cared about pulling against her collar and would just ignore my corrections. I also tried a gentle leader with her, which helped with the pulling but she would still bark like crazy. This e-collar has been a lifesaver and she is a completely different dog now. We started with just the beeping to get her attention, then moved to the vibrate whenever she ignored the beeping. Once we felt more comfortable with the collar and took her on the first walk with it on, we used the shock setting when we saw the first dog and she started to bark and pull. She ignored level 5/99 and did not respond until level 10, but once we did level 10 she immediately stopped barking and sat beside me and just watched the dog as it passed on the other side of the street. We have been using the collar consistently for about a month and she has made incredible progress. We are now practicing with her being off-leash so that she can have more freedom to enjoy her time outside. We only use the shock (still at level 15 max) if she is unresponsive to the beep/vibrate and we need to recall her quickly. She has been doing a great job of staying relatively close to us while outside and her behavior when we see another dog has transformed. She will still whine a bit and watch the other dogs because she wants to play, but she stays near us and is no longer barking and pulling. For the vibrate setting, we usually use this at its maximum level (16), as it seems like it is not that strong and our dog will ignore it completely if we lower the level past 12. The beeping setting has a pretty good range, but we normally use it around levels 5-8 because she responds more to the higher-pitched sound than the louder/lower sound it has at level 1. For the shock setting, it seems crazy to myself and my boyfriend that this collar can go all the way up to level 99. My boyfriend tried up to level 15 on himself (which is the max we will use on our dog), and that has been plenty for us. Our dog is a shepherd mix and about 50 lbs at 11 months old. We make sure that the collar is snug against her neck and will only use the shock when absolutely necessary. She jumps just a little when we use it, but does not yelp or cry at all. The battery life on this has been great. I have charged it twice so far overnight, but both times the battery still had 2/4 bars left and I could have used it for longer before charging. We have been using it every day when we go for walks and when we go to the park/fields to play. I turn off the remote and collar when we're not using them and this might be helping the battery last even longer. The range on the remote is great so far, but I also try to stay proactive to keep her in my line of sight and not let her get too far away before recalling her. On the remote, it is kind of easy to accidentally switch the remote off or to the second channel if you're not paying attention and holding the remote wrong. Other than my user-error, I like the controls on the remote and how easy it is to use. I like that this remote gives you the ability to switch quickly between the 3 settings - I have been able to use the buttons quickly when training off leash and my dog looks like she's about to take off and I need her to come back to me. Update: A few months after getting the collar, the receiver seemed to stop working out of nowhere. The receiver and remote were both fully charged, but the collar was not making any noises/vibrations/shocks. I reached out to the company and the customer service was excellent. They sent me a new receiver in the mail, free of charge by the end of that same week. Update: We have had the collar for almost a year now and have used it consistently to train our dog. We almost exclusively use the vibration setting and only need to use it for recall when she is far away - much easier than yelling as loud as I can. The collar has held up well to daily use and our dog's love of puddles and shallow water. She's not much of a swimmer so we have not had it tested in deep water/prolonged swimming. This collar really has been a great training tool and helped our rescue make unbelievable progress, and now she gets to enjoy most of her time outside off-leash and free to roam and play. Read more
