"The best collar there is. I have had this for over 6 years now and it has never had a problem. It is so beat up and scratched up, yet still doesn’t have a problem. The only reason I am getting another because I lost the transmitter and it just gave me an excuse to go ahead and buy a whole new unit..."
"The collar itself is small(width) and the buckle is even smaller, making it difficult to put on and adjust for a squirming young dog. Also, one of the plug in chargers does not stay in the charger slot and keeps falling off. Not impressed with this product."
