Highlighted Reviews
"My pup loses her mind outside! Her nose picks up a scent and she is gone. This collar is working well to get this behavior under control. Rarely now do I even have to use the stimulation, the tone gets her attention. Happier Mom = happier pup!"
"It lasted only two charge cycles and the collar will no longer turn on. Used for very short period only two times. I estimate total usage time at 30 minutes. I do not recommend this item at all."
Bottom Line
Overall, it's a good option for training small dogs but be prepared for potential durability issues.
