Good collar - easily damaged
We got this collar to train our medium sized dog. We needed to get her attention as shouting, clicking, rewarding, leash jerking, etc... did not have any effect on her. We used this collar's shock feature fairly regularly for about 2-3 months. Then we switched over to using the warning beep. That got her attention. Next we switched to saying her name and showing her the remote, which also worked. Finally we were able to take it off in the house and only use it outdoors. Overall I think we used it for about two years and a little bit over the past year. My big complaint is that the antenna runs through the fabric of the collar. Our dog tried to get her collar off and chewed through the collar. Petsafe does not offer replacement units, so even though the electronic portion nwas operating perfectly fine, we would have had to buy an entirely new collar, just because she chewed through the fabric portion. In my opinion this makes it a poorly designed collar.
