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!"
