this thing works
Date: July 1, 2009
"I have a 9 month old male Golden Retriever with a mind of his own. With the ADV 300 I have only needed to use low level corrections a few times. I used the tone before the hot button and now he responds to the tone for most things without any need for additional correction. If you have any concerns about shocking you pal, try it on yourself first (low level) - not painful, just uncomfortable. Have not tried maximum range yet. So far I am impressed with the quality and performance of this product and would recommend it without qualification."

What a Difference
Date: June 29, 2009
"Our beagle was named Boomer, short for boomerang because of the many times he left the yard and then returned. After almost being hit by a car on a busy street, I decided to buy the Deluxe Remote Trainer. WOW, what a difference. He no longer leaves the yard even when joggers, dogs, cats, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. are beyond the boundaries. The STIMULATION button was used only twice during the training period. Now the TONE button is all that is needed. Boomer also loves his freedom without a leash. It a win/win situation. I can’t say enough good things about this product."

Why didn't I buy this sooner?
Date: June 8, 2009
"This is a product that, before you buy it, makes you think, "Do I really need this? Do I really need to spend money on this?" So after agonizing over the decision you decide to make the purchase. You're doubtful but hopeful. But when the product actually does what it's supposed to do, the heavens open up and trumpets sound and you think, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" I have a year-old Golden Retriever named Daisy who weighs 80 pounds. I am a single mother of a toddler and have spent the past year trying to train this dog. She was a fairly good puppy, but had some bad (and dangerous) habits like jumping up on people, begging for food, nipping, chewing, digging, etc. I tried my best to train her myself but some habits are hard to break. When Daisy dug out my newly planted rose bush, that was the last straw - I decided to purchase a "shock collar." After reading countless reviews, I decided on this product. Golden's are notoriously easy to train, but this collar seems like a miracle. I watched the helpful DVD the product came with and as soon as I put the collar on her and gave her a mild "shock" (which is like a static shock) for jumping, she immediately sat down like I told her to and didn't move until I gave her the "okay" command. I tried it again this morning when she was begging for food. All I had to do was put the collar on her and tell her to sit. I've only "shocked" her a few times but that's all it took. After a year of unbelievable stress of trying to train this dog and almost getting rid of her, this has made my life so much easier. This is so worth the money. I love that the collar is rechargeable and that the contents come in a handly little carrier. I can't wait to take Daisy to a park and give it a try. I bet there will be no more running away. I also love the 300-yard range and the 7 stimulation levels. Daisy responded to the first level so I didn't have to increase the strength which I was thankful for. Daisy doesn't yelp or act like the "shock" is hurting her. She just turns her head in the direction of the shock like, "What's going on?" I think it startles her more than anything because she doesn't know what it is. I also love that there is a button for a continuous shock (up to 10 seconds), a button for one shock and a button for just a tone."

Great training tool
Date: August 19, 2008
"Our pet is a two year old Manchester Terrier. We spend hours hiking with her in the hills surrounding our rural home. Although we trained her extensively, and she had been very well behaved until a few weeks ago. Recently, she began to "disappear" when off leash and would not always respond promptly when called. Concerned about her safety, we did a "retraining" session, but it was not fully successful. Since our dog would be very unhappy if she did not have the freedom to "range", we decided to try the Free Spirit Advanced Trainer. We have been working with the FSA Trainer for just over a week - it is EXACTLY what we needed. Our dog can hike with us off leash, but, with the Trainer, we still have control over her behavior. If she does not promptly respond to a command, we first use the "tone" feature as a reminder. Further failure to respond calls for a momentary "pulse" from the Trainer. This invariably gets her attention, and she promptly responds. Generally, the tone is all that is needed to reinforce desired behavior. At most, we have used the "pulse" feature once per day. Overall, since we began using the Trainer, our dog is much more responsive to our commands, whether she is wearing the Trainer or not. We are much more confident of her safety. This is an ideal training tool for our situation. We have been very impressed with the range and consistency of the signal, which gives our dog the greatest freedom, while we have total control."

Great training tool!
Date: June 21, 2008
"My very stubborn beagle was trained to run in the park off leash in 2 days!! After trying to control him for two years, this amazing product did it all. I am still stunned by the results. He listens and behaves better all the time now. My only disappointment is that the battery on the collar cannot be turned off and needs to be recharged often. It would be nice if the battery would last longer than a couple of days. But, that is a small price to pay for the awesome results achieved!"

GREAT COLLAR
Date: July 10, 2007
"I got the collar for my small (14lb) dog who listens only about 90% of the time. I was having trouble with him running out the front door or getting off the leash and running into the road. He did it about once or twice a month and was impossible to catch him. So I researched training collars, I got the Innotek Free Spirit Advanced Trainer because of rechargeable collar and price.
I have had the collar for about 3 days and it has worked great. I was worried about it being too big but it can be trimmed to fit almost any dog. The first day I set it to level one and only had to use it 3 times before he obeyed 100% of the time. I had to go to level 2 on day 2 because he got distracted, but it worked and he came. The setting I have used the most is the tone, barking, begging, and even jumping up stops almost instantly.
So far I am happy with this product, my only worry is that he will have to wear the collar all the time. I want to be able to one day take the collar off and have him still listen. It is not to that point yet, but I hope it will happen. I also see a difference in my dogs behavior, he seems to pout. But after playing or giving him a treat he seems to get over it."

Obedient Dog Can Run Without Leash
Date: December 7, 2005
"Until I bought this product, I thought my Husky would never be able to roam our thirty acre farm without a leash. Now, thanks to Innoteks Free Spirit Advanced Trainer, we are almost at the point of no leash. I would definitely recommend this training device to anyone who wishes their disobedient dog to become a wonderfully obedient one!"
