Considering single collars can sell for hundreds I was suspicious of this kit because of the low price. The first kit I received didn’t work but I got a replacement and it’s ok this time.

The instructions were written by somebody who doesn’t understand English very well. For example they describe the antenna as “anti-broken” and suggest you give your dog “socks” when they obey your commands. I think they meant snacks . It’s pretty funny but you can figure out what they are trying to say so it’s no big deal.

The collars work quite well. The vibration button doesn’t really have an effect on my dogs but the shock get’s their attention for sure! So far I’ve only used the lowest setting and it’s working great.

I would recommend this product but just remember you get what you pay for. It’s obvious this product is not top of the line.

4 batteries for the collars come with the kit. They are cheap and don’t last long. That’s to be expected but it can be a challenge to find replacements at the store. They require size 28A which most stores don’t carry. I bought 28L (lithium) but found out these don’t work. You must use the Alkaline batteries. I had to order more online.

Just received this unit today and haven’t had a chance to try it on the dogs yet, but will update this review after I use the unit for training.

This unit arrived very quickly, and works perfectly at a good distance according to the included and my own test lights. The quality of materials isn’t quite the same as the ‘name brand’ unit I purchased last year for 3x the price, of course, but this one works. The high priced one didn’t. And I got two decent quality collars.

The unit I purchased last year arrived defective, was replaced, and the replacement unit lasted about 2-3 weeks. Yes, it was constructed of better materials, but that didn’t keep it from sitting on the shelf. I was finally told the (rechargeable) battery had gone bad. I didn’t buy one.

I’ve read the other reviews here that battery life is short on these units, but for the price I would have paid to replace the battery in the more expensive unit I purchased an additional 20 batteries for this unit. More than enough for the training I’ll be doing.

For basic training under normal conditions, this unit seems to be a very good deal for the price. If you’re not a trainer and you’ll only be using this to train your household pet(s), there’s really no need to go with the much more expensive units. Packaging is great and the unit works, and for this price I could buy one a year and come out farther ahead than I did with the other systems. You don’t always get what you pay for.

I’d have to recommend this unit for the casual trainer…

Update:

I’ve been using these collars for about a month now, and have to say they’re as good as I thought when I initially received them. Though the quality of construction isn’t quite on par with the much more expensive units, I haven’t had any trouble with them on two active outdoor dogs.

They continue to work well, and the 3 level shock range is very adequate. At first I was removing the collar batteries when not in use, till I realized there is an automatic shut-off feature if the collar remains motionless for more than two minutes. I don’t understand other complaints about battery life. Though they’re not rechargeable the collar batteries do last a good length of time, and they’re inexpensive and easy to order.

Basically (and what matters most to me), is that I had nothing but problems with more expensive units but have not had one problem with this item. After a month of regular use I’d still have to recommend this product for the casual trainer…

This unit worked really well on my mid sized dogs. But the unit stopped working after 3 DAYS!

Pos.

————————–

- Range is really good, I could zap the dog in the back yard from my room on the second floor. (great for when the dog is doing something wrong because he thinks no one is watching)

- I tried it on myself before the dogs. (Yes on my neck) it zings!

- two dog feature is really neat…just mark the remote so you don’t zap the wrong dog (ooopps)

- comes with two dog collars

- works really well on my midsized dogs

- worked right through the coat

————————-

Neg.

- this unit stopped working after 3 days it is Very fragile according to other reviews

- it is slightly bulky but not that heavy

- works on batteries the kind that are in a camera

- There is no “Bark” feature. to zap if dog yaps.

- There is no ‘distance’ feature that will zap if dog is too far away. similar to a wireless fence.

I would not recommend this product for 2 reasons. When I recieved the product it did not come with directions. After calling customer service I was told that the directions would be sent to me via e-mail and I recieved was a return policy. The batteries that came with the collar went dead after less than a week. I bought new batteries and they lasted less than a week. I spoke with customer service about this and was told that they would send me detailed directions on using the collar which would save battery life. I have not received directions. Not impressed.
