We have been loyal customers of this brand for as long as we've had my oldest doberman who is 7 now! These collars are not only very effective but they are very easy to use! They have a clip attachment you can apply on the back of the remote so you can hook it on your back pocket, waist band, wherever! They have a pretty good range as well so if your dog takes off, you can rely on these to reach your dog within 500 yards I have personally tested. Another aspect I REALLY appreciate about this brand is that they offer you the ability to buy replacement collars and remotes separately if you ever lose or break them! Cannot tell you how many times we have had to from losing them! Control is on point, weight is light, appearance is very basic and sound quality is great as well. Cannot emphasize enough how much we love this product! There are three modes and depending on your dogs personality or drive, they learn very quickly what behaviors are not ok. One of mine I still need to use the shock option on, and one of them will listen just using the tone and vibration buttons. The shock has a range of 1-16 also. My boyfriend tried out the max on his own hand and said it does have a grip of power so proceed with caution on that! Read more
6/7/18 Update: I changed my review back to five stars! The manufacturer emailed me about the problem and immediately sent a replacement collar for the one that was not working, along with some valuable advice. The collar is back on my dog and training is continuing. The training device is excellent. I use the vibrate button as a signal during training and sometimes the beep, and have only used the "shock" button a couple of times in emergency situations (after, of course, training my dog on what the signal means. There are lots of videos online on how to train with an e-collar and I highly recommend watching a couple before starting training). I have a young smart working dog who is always looking for a job to do. He has so much energy and drive I found it difficult to impossible to get his attention and focus before I started using the collar. The PetSpy training collar allows me to get Freddy's attention immediately and remotely. At that point, training is easy. But to be honest, I haven't done much training yet - I have mostly focused on getting his attention and getting control and a reliable recall. My dog has gone from totally out of control to a still energetic but fully under control dog 98% of the time. Friends and family have all remarked about the huge change in Freddy since I started using the collar. I have close to a 100% head snap when I call and a rapid recall from anywhere on my 2 acre property - even without using the remote and without being in sight. He has stopped digging up the property hunting for gophers and stops with a "no" on the few times he starts. What is interesting is Freddy is much calmer in general now that he knows what I want him to do - the consistent and quick signal from the e-collar allows him to relax because he knows I'm in charge, he doesn't have to be. Now I'm going to start formal and advanced training and it will be easy. Thanks to the training collar. Hold off on my review below. I am asking the manufacturer for a replacement under their 1 year warranty. I'll let you know the upshot. Thanks, Sue The collar worked great at first, although it didn't seem to have the range reported, However, it stopped working 7 months after I purchased it. All the lights seem to be working, showing the unit was charged and ready but it no longer produced a "tone" and neither the vibrate or shock function worked at all. At this point it is worthless. I am going to try to contact the manufacturer to see if they will fix it since it wasn't sold as a disposable item. I will let you know if they make good on their product. Very disappointed because it was a wonderful training tool while it worked! Read more
This is a great shock collar it works for a little encouragement in the right direction for our 215lbs Beorboel. The dog seems comfy and responds to the sound and vibration well. It also fits his neck. This is our second exact same collar the first lasted realistically about 3-4 years. He’s been becoming obstinate so we need a touch of reinforcement again. Hence the second purchase. Read more
PetSpy Shock Collar for Dogs: A Comprehensive Review The PetSpy Shock Collar offers a versatile training solution for dogs. With features like vibration, shock, and beep modes, it provides a range of options to reinforce desired behaviors. Key Features and Performance: * Durability: The collar's sturdy construction has proven effective against chewing, making it a great choice for dogs who tend to gnaw on their equipment. * Functionality: The three modes - beep, vibration, and shock - offer a progressive approach to training. The beep mode is particularly useful for gentle reminders, while the vibration mode provides a more assertive cue. The shock mode should be used as a last resort and only on the lowest setting necessary. * Ease of Use: The collar's intuitive design makes it simple to operate, even for those with visual impairments. The clearly labeled buttons ensure easy identification. Battery Life: While the collar's features are impressive, the battery life could be improved. Frequent charging can be inconvenient, especially for owners who are constantly on the go. Overall: The PetSpy Shock Collar is a reliable training tool that can effectively reinforce positive behaviors. Its durability and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for dog owners seeking a comprehensive training solution. However, the shorter battery life may be a consideration for some users.

I’ve been using these collars for my two coonhounds and they’ve been great. In the four years I’ve been using this brand, I’ve replaced one collar and one remote. Personally, the battery life is fantastic. Lasts multiple days. I charge the collar maybe twice per week. The remote itself lasts even longer. The range is also great. Much cheaper than the name brands, and works just as well. Read more
