PetrainerPET916 100% Waterproof Dog Shock Collar with Remote 1000 ft Rechargeable Ecollar Dog Training with Beep Vibrating and Shock Collar for Dogs

This is an outstanding training collar. It is outperforming collars I have used in the past that cost me much more.My dog is an Australian Shepherd and is a service dog that detects seizures, helps me with my mobility, and helps me up if I fall. She is well trained and I mostly use the collar when I let her run around our two acre property. I have used it to correct her when I'm out in the community in unfamiliar surroundings or when there are lots of distractions.The collar and remote feel sturdy and I expect them to last a long time. They are both easy to operate and I haven't had any difficulty pairing them. The ability to charge them both at the same time is a great feature, and they hold a charge a very long time.As for the three different corrections, they all work well. The beep is very loud and the vibrations are strong at all speeds. The static correction is VERY strong and I recommend starting much lower than you would think.I set my initial static level by using the collar on my arm. My dog is pretty sensitive and my current setting is 17. I've only used the static correction twice, but, because my dog is a service dog, she is very smart and in-tune with me. As far as the range, I tested it out to 300 yards.I am very pleased with all of the features. One thing that seems unimportant, but means a lot to me is the black color. I have had people make comments about their personal opinions about training collars when I've used orange collars.I only have two small things I'd change. I'd feel better if the belt clip was tighter or if there was a way to attach a lanyard. I'd also get rid of the light feature. All it does is turn the tiny LED on the collar on. It is just a setting I always pass, and is just another step to go past before you get back to the beep correction if you've been on a different setting.This is a fantastic product at a great price.

We had bought one like this years ago for a rottie we were having issues training. I believe we had paid over 300$. We subsequently sold it for less than half after we didn't have that dog anymore. Fast forward a few years and we again rescue a dog, this time a chocolate lab. A lot of bad habits had been left festering in this dog so we needed another collar. At roughly 75$, I wasn't expecting much but this is as good as the 300$ one we had a few years ago. We only need the vibration effect to correct, have only used the electrical impulse a few times but dog react more to vibration. We take him swimming all the time and the unit hasn't failed yet so as far as water proof goes, it lives up to the claim. Would definitely recommend this unit. And at the price, if it end up only lasting a year (we've had it for a few months now), well I would just by same unit again.

Works great, set up and function were all as advertised. We have a pitbull, which are known to have an incredible pain tolerance. I've used the shocker a couple of times on him at 50%, and won't ever have to use shock again; the vibration is associated with it so all we use is vibe.FUR LENGTH IS EVERYTHINGThe reason this works on tough short hair dogs better than more fragile ones is usually because of the fur length.It also only works if you've taken the rubber tips off of the shock prongs, which based on a few other reviews is a given.It also has to be tight enough for prong to skin contact.The only cons are:-NOT BARK ACTIVATED-Sleep mode; you have to go to the dog and press the button to wake it up. This is a deal breaker for most, and really inconvenient.-generic USB-C charging cords would be a huge step up on user function.

This collar has totally changed my hikes with my dog. I have a 10 year old lab mix, we do lots of hiking and overnight backpacking. We got him as an adult rescue, and he's always been naughty and ran off the trail when we've tried to hike off-leash with him. I figured we would try this, and it's been outstanding. We've used it on a 3-day backpacking trip in the White Mountains, and the battery made it all the way through the trip, and the waterproofing worked fine also. We now also use it in friend's backyards that aren't fenced in, anytime he wants to dig or go somewhere he shouldn't be. Usually the audio tone is enough to get his attention and deter him, and when that doesn't work, the vibrate function is enough of a correction for him. I only used the shock feature a few times when hiking, when he really gets tunnel vision on something.The build quality feels good, range has been very good, I think the max range we've used it has been 100-150 yards, but that's in the woods with lots of trees and varied terrain. In NH he was crossing lots of streams, and the unit got wet often, but we had no problems with it functioning. The only negative on this unit is the delay when it goes into sleep mode, but I just got in the habit of double-tapping the Y button and the correction is usually pretty fast. There's a nice clip on the remote, but it won't hold up to much abuse. The collar is very long and adjustable, but I would prefer that they had left a small gap so you could feed your own collar through it instead of using theirs.The LED light is a nice bright blue, but due to the way the collar sits on his neck, it's not very useful, usually the light is blocked by his head/neck. On a lighter colored dog, it might work better, but it's a nice option if you just want to see where the dog is at night.The charger is well thought out, it's a USB connection on one end, so you can use any cell-phone/ipad type charger, and you can charge it on the go in the car also. It's nice that the charging cord has two ports, so you can charge the remote and collar at the same time.It's a great product, I'm really impressed with the battery life, durability, and general function. It's made hiking a lot nicer with my dog, and this would make any type of training so much easier by being able to give a correction immediately and consistently. I'd absolutely buy again.

The Petrainer PET916 100% Waterproof Dog Training Collar with Remote 1000 ft Rechargeable Electric Dog collar is a great tool for making great progress with training our dog. We like to take our dog off leash on trails for walks. We tested the Petrainer collar on ourselves before putting it on our dog. My husband compared it too a Tens treatment. I found that it got my attention on the shock setting. Our dog loves to play with other dogs and would sometimes shut off his hearing when we would encounter other dogs on our walks. We wanted him to listen for his own safety, especially if another dog is not friendly. We have only had to use the shock level a few times in the year we have been using the Petrainer collar. The bell sound level, and when necessary the vibration level work great using a verbal command as well. It has really made a difference in our dog! We live in British Columbia which receives a fair amount of rain and we have not had any problems with the Petrainer collar in over a year. I recently called to order some of the contact pegs and rubber caps and was very surprised when the representative said I would receive them in 3 to 5 business days and there was no charge! The Petrainer collar is a great product with great customer service.
