Bousnic Dog Shock Collar with Remote - for Dog 10-120lbs 1000ft Waterproof Rechargeable e Dog Training Collar for

Edit - 30/APR-2021 I received the extra collar strap today. So I was able to replace the missing piece. The strap they sent even had rubber pieces that hold the extra length of strap in place. So I took those and put them on the strap too. I’m wondering if the updated collar has those. That would be an added luxury for sure. Some additional notes I didn’t mention before: The rubber contact points are a bonus for allergy prone dogs. Most ecollar a have stainless steel or titanium contact points. My dog has reactions to both. More so the stainless steel than the titanium but he has zero reaction to the rubber tip. Nice touch. The plastic clasp is easier than a buckle. One and done. Set it to the right size and you’re good. No more fumbling around trying to remember which hole. No more struggling with a bouncy, happy dog that just wants to get out the door. Just snap and go. I tested it in the rain. We had a surprise downpour the other day and we had zero issues. Aside from being covered in mud... if that’s considered an issue. Changes that would be nice: Putting the display at the top. When I use it through my pocket I find myself hitting vibrate when I’m wanting to use static. I feel that’s because I’m subconsciously telling myself the display is at the bottom even though my hand already knows that. So my fingers move automatically move up. I’ve tried flipping it before putting it in my pocket but I do the same. Could be a me issue though. Adding a beacon light for nighttime visibility. If the collar itself had a beacon light like my other collars I would probably use this one exclusively. Edit - 25/APR/2021 The company has contacted me about the issues I mentioned. The sunlight issue is already being improved upon for their next batch and the collar was missing a clip that keeps the strap in place. They are sending it to me straight away and also offered to send help videos. They’ve assured me that with the clip the strap does stay in place, and that if I have any issues that they will be there to assist me. If this is the case, after I receive the clip I will update my rating from four to five stars. End of update It works for my high drive Malinois. It’s not perfect and has a few quirks that could be improved, but works almost just as well his $300+ collar. I was initially unimpressed when I saw that it only went up to 16. Then I tried it and instantly was reminded of one of my go-to sayings, “Sometimes less is more.” And boy is this more. It’s a little firecracker of a collar, that’s for sure. It definitely packs a punch. Functionality-wise I’d give it 4 stars. It does the job an E-collar is supposed to do, and it can control two dogs. However, the strap didn’t always stay tight. Which could be a disaster if you’re fully depending on the collar. Which, btw, one should never do. It’s not a magic wand. It's a tool. Always have a backup tool. E.g. - Training. Training. TRAINING! You can train for off-lead work with verbal commands/sounds, treats, toys, etc. Never let an untrained dog off their lead thinking the collar will bring them back. You'll be sorely disappointed. Ease of use I give it 5 stars. It's ridiculously easy to use. Charge it. Turn it on. Put it on your dog. Find the right setting by pushing the side button. Done. Tip* Find the setting in a quiet place so you can see your dog's initial reaction. Then test that setting in a stimulating environment before letting your dog off lead. A lot of times the setting will need to be adjusted. ;) Battery life possibly 5 stars. It’s been two days now and I haven’t needed to recharge it. The indicator still shows all bars. So I’d say this will probably last all week. Overall appearance 5 stars. The size of the collar and the remote make this a winner in my book. All the other collars we have are big and bulky. They say “LOOK AT ME! MY DOG HAS AN E-COLLAR ON!” Which makes ignorant people judge my dog and more so judge me. This is, in my opinion, a more low-profile collar. It’s grey, so it stands out a bit, but it's small. So it’s not like a bullseye to your dog's neck. The remote fits right in my pocket too. It doesn’t have a lanyard or belt clip, but it does have a wrist strap. I’m sure you could loop it through and attach that to whatever. I’m thinking for the days I don’t have pockets, I KNOW! Who makes bottoms without pockets? Anyway, for those days, I’ll loop it through and attach it to my fanny pack. Also, the fact that the remote doesn’t have a bunch of confusing controls makes it relieving. It would be very hard to mistakenly hit the wrong button. There are three. I love that. However, I did notice that when I was in the sun I had a hard time seeing the display. I didn’t like that. Minor problem though. They could either up the display light, which could drain battery life. Costing them nothing. Or put a protective film over it that would bounce the sunlight off of it. Costing them a few cents. Either one would be fine in my opinion. The major con that make me not love this collar is the strap. It's an easy fix for them. Not so easy for us because it’s not removable. You can, however, find the right size for your dog, if they’re full-grown, and then clamp the strap with a rivet or the like. That should keep it from self-adjusting. So if they could fix that it would be a perfect collar at a GREAT price. Seriously though, every collar I've gotten has had issues. So if I compare all of them. I'd say this collar outweighs the more expensive and confusing collars I've gotten. I've yet to find a perfect one and probably will not, as I'm beyond picky. That said, this little beauty is for sure comparable to some of the top e-collars I've gotten so far and for a fraction of the price. So with what I've said, and the warnings I've given regarding the strap and training, I feel confident in recommending it. Read more

When I was looking for a training collar for my puppy I spent hours and hours researching the best one for my dog, my family, and my wallet. My research took me many days and I looked at several different brands and models before I finally found the right one for my dog. The areas of most concern for me are safety, reliability, and ease of use. This collar ticked all those boxes and more. First off, the fact that the remote has three separate buttons for each feature was very important to me. I didn't want to get confused or in my haste not properly cycle through the options on a remote that uses one button for multiple options and therefore accidentally shock him when I meant to only use the beep or vibrate options. With three dedicated buttons with clear and easy to read functions as well as colored lights that illuminate on the remote, I never have to worry about accidentally hitting the wrong button. Another important factor for me was a lock on the remote to ensure that I wouldn't accidentally hit any of the buttons when it was in my pocket or purse. Surprisingly this was a feature that was not on many other remotes. The remote also has a loop on it which is large enough to fit my hand through so when on walks I can use it or have it at the ready while also keeping my hands free for holding the leash, filling a bowl of water for my dog, or even cleaning up his waste. As a dog owner who walks her dogs daily, having a hand free is very valuable. The remote also has a LCD screen on it which shows which channel you have it on which is very useful if you have more than one dog you are using it with. Two receivers can be paired with one remote. It also shows the strength of static shock that you are currently using from 1-16. It is bright enough to see it in a dark setting, however in a bright outdoor environment it is very hard to see. I would recommend that in the future versions they either make the light brighter or put a tinted screen on the remote so you can see it better. I can see the colors light up in the bright sun, but I cannot read the screen in the bright sun. This is one of the only complaints that I have with this collar and I have used it every day for a month now. Another important feature for me was for the collar to be waterproof. As the owner of a labrador retriever, my dog loves any and all water sources and not having to worry about the receiver shorting out on me is a huge plus. Make sure to close the little cap over the charging port after charging it and you won't have to worry about rain or spontaneous swims when your dog is wearing this collar. I bought this mainly for training my stubborn and strong willed puppy to not jump on people, not to pull so hard on the leash when walking and barking when he wants something. For these purposes I wanted to get his attention and keep it without hurting him. I mainly use the beep function and when he is really being stubborn and continues to pull when walking, I use the vibrate function and he will start listening to me again almost instantly. Keep in mind that this collar is not a "bark collar" in that it won't stop his barking on it's own. You have to be there in the moment to press the desired button and verbally communicate the command when your dog barks. I prefer this for my dog because I don't want him to never bark, I just want him to not bark incessantly. I have not had to use the shock function on my dog yet. I did however test both the vibrate and shock functions on myself so I would know how they feel before using them on my dog. The vibrate is similar to a phone on vibrate just a bit stronger so it is not painful or uncomfortable but it does refocus the dog by getting their attention so you can correct unwanted behavior. The shock is a static shock so it is not like a taser or stun gun and therefore is not painful but it is uncomfortable and it will certainly get your (and therefore your dog's) attention. It has a range from 1-16 and I don't think you should have to go very high to get the desired results. I recommend to start low and adjust as necessary. Some of the other brands I looked at had vibrate and shock levels from 1-100 and to me that seemed like too large of a range to find the right one for you and your dog. At first I was worried that only having levels 1-16 would not be strong enough because of seeing so many brands having levels 1-100 but in my experience there is definitely a difference between the levels and 16 is plenty strong enough to get the attention of the most stubborn or thick skinned or furriest dog you know. The range on this receiver and remote is great too. It works for up to 1000 feet in open areas and it also works well through walls, although I am not sure how far away it works. It works throughout my house and yard so for most homes and yards it should be plenty strong enough of a signal for you and your dog. It takes 2 hours to fully charge and both the remote and receiver are easy to charge on the same cord provided and last for a while even with daily use. The final factor that led me to choose this collar is the thousands of satisfied customers reviews and the lifetime warranty. It is rare these days to see a company that stands behind its products with any warranty let alone a lifetime warranty. That certainly sold me on the reliability of the product. I have talked with several owners of this collar at my local dog park and each if them also had glowing reviews for this collar. I have only had this collar for about a month but so far I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. I definitely recommend this collar to others looking for a safe, reliable, and budget friendly option for a training collar for your dog. Try it for yourself, you won't be disappointed. Read more

We have 3 chocolate Labrador retrievers who all have training collars by a different manufacturer. I was asked to provide a review of this Bousnic collar and transmitter. I am impressed by the ease of use of the transmitter from dialing the intensity up or down to the perfect fit in your hand of the transmitter to the buttons to push for either a beep, vibration or shock while training your dog. The length of battery life of the collar and transmitter is also amazing. Usually I have to recharge the collars every day for use the next day and this collar and transmitter by Bousnic does not require charging for a full week after continuous use! Impressive battery life. The range of the collar is also adequate in training hunting dogs in the field - averaging 300 yards. The collars also fit all my dogs who range in size from 70 pounds to 100 pounds with the receivers fitting snugly against the side of their throats without worrying that they are too bulky or will catch on field obstacles. Overall a very impressive training collar, receiver and transmitter. Highly recommend for any size of dog. Read more

This has worked wonders with my 10 month old Husky. He now responds just to the beep. He no longer chases Elk or deer when we encounter them on our hikes. I live where it rains over 120 inches a year. We are outside every day no matter the weather. The collar/receiver has had zero issues with being wet or immersed in water. I put the transmitter in a small zip lock baggie on especially wet days. I can still access the buttons through the bag. The batteries maintain a charge for weeks before needing a recharge. I reccomend this product if you are looking to buy a training collar. Read more
