Training Collar works! Date: August 11, 2008
"We were absolutely amazed at how easy it was to train our Lab/Collie mix dog. He used to drag me down the street even with a choke chain. It only took a few little zaps, and he was no longer pulling, but walking right beside me. We are using the high pitched sound more than the jolt now, because that's all it takes to remind him to behave. Our dog, though, has realized when the collar is on, he better behave, so we just keep it on him, and turn it on when we go for walks. This has been a lifesaver!"

Great Product Date: July 15, 2008
"I would recommend this product highly. I have a 4 mo old 40lb German Shepherd who would not leave my cats alone or their food. Not only did he quit chasing the cats and trying to eat their food. He stopped in one day! I tried everything else prior to this collar and sorry I did not get this first. I look forward to working to teach my pup alot of the basic commands as well. Great Product!!"

"My 6th month old lab/husky mix Luna is terrified of it. We just used the sound feature and she cries and runs into corners. I wouldn't recommend buying it if you think you dog will be scared of it."

WOW!!!!!!!!! Date: April 6, 2008
"Best product ever. Hesitant about buying but glad I did. My German Shepherd already knew basic comands after going through obedience school but was a little stubborn about following them. After a couple times of using pulse button now responds to tone button if not by voice command. 90% responce to voice commands now. Excellent product."

Wonderful Device Date: March 20, 2008
"I was very skeptical about purchasing this, but what a tremendous invention. "Molly" is a great big teddy bear -- 14 week old German Shephard and already 40lbs. I have a disabled daughter and needed something to keep Molly from jumping and nipping at her. The dog trainer did the trick. I do not even have to "shock" Molly -- the warning tone does the trick. (If I do use the "shock" option it is only set on 1). The Remote trainer has been great for preventing digging in the yard, nipping, jumping, and taking things that don't belong to her."

PetSafe Comfort Fit Big Dog Remote Trainer Date: February 19, 2008
"I used a different remote trainer and hated it! Every time I wanted to make an adjustment, I had to open the remote. If you don't keep the directions, you have no idea what the codes are! With PETCO remote, the buttons and directions are so easy! You can make changes by turning the dial and done! Best product I have purchased"

"Excellent!!! He seemed to learn after about two shocks. The alarm function on the collar works to get him to stop doing what we don't want him to do so we don't have to shock him anymore."

Best Purchase Ever Date: February 6, 2008
"Both of my 10 month old golden puppies and my 2 year old golden were out of control. I tried the "Bagh" method, the water bottle, the bags of hardware.... nothing worked. Ahhhh, thank goodness I tried the remote trainer. I have used the trainer for almost two weeks now and have found that each day I was able to use it a little less. my male golden needed a 4 but my female was responding to a 2. I am able to use just the beep sound quite a bit too. Each evening I would start with the beep and work my way to the shock only if my dogs were not responding when corrected by voice. I was concerned about purchasing 4 of the same trainers because of shocking all dogs at the push of a button so I contacted the petsafe website and they were very helpful. I totally believe in this product. It is a life saver. It is great to know I have control of their behavior at a push of a button. I don't have to pry them off of each other and risk getting bitten ever again. Thank you."

Worth It Date: February 6, 2008
"Excellent collar. Worth every single penny if you have a great dog with a few stubborn habits. The first week we used very low power, and then eventually switched over to the sound feature. Works just as well. Now, whenever we have the collar on him, he just behaves much better."

Wonderful Training Tool Date: January 23, 2008
"I have an 8 month old male Australian Cattle Dog (red heeler). If there is one thing you need to know about these dogs, is that they live to herd! Unfortunately my dog wanted to herd the baby horses, and they couldn't understand why this dog was running around biting their hooves and barking at them. With this collar I was able to break that potentially dangerous habit! I do not doubt that it saved my dog's life."

Friendly Alternative To Expensive Training Date: January 20, 2008
"I have a pitbull/lab, and he is one rambunctious little fella, He likes to jump on people as they come in the door to greet them, and likes to use corners as a temporary disposal area :P, I purchased this product and within a day I had him letting me know when he had to go out, and within a week I had him not jumping on people; My next step is to test his running boundaries. Great product, a definite must for those training they're pets."

best bully breed field trainer ever! Date: January 3, 2008
"i bought for my 1 1/2 yrs old pit bull terrier. Eveyone has known that bully breed are stabborn and hard headed. My dog already knows sit and stay , but not the "come" command . First day i tired it out on him he freak out and then got used to it and "come" on the instant command. but would recommand using negative setting lowest to highest like the booklet tells. Even my pit bull freak out when i would set it only to 7 or 8. i found 5 is the best setting to get his attention and to listen from far away as 50 ft!"

Very helpful Date: December 7, 2007
"We have a 1 year old black lab who is very spirited. We had purchased a wireless containment unit to train her to stay in the yard and that worked wonderfully. All but one thing - she loves to jump on everything. She has jumped all over my car, visitors cars, my 2 year old daughter and anyone that walks through our door. We couldn't keep her calm enough to let her stay out when people came to visit. We finally decided that we had to get her a training collar to tone her down. Within the first evening, she was sitting and being calm when someone walked through the door, she has stopped jumping on my car and she now doesn't think my daughter is a battering ram :o) The only thing I have found that is a semi-negative is the batteries don't last as long as they probably should. Otherwise, I would recommend it highly!"

AMAZING! Date: November 26, 2007
"I purchased this collar as a last resort. I have a 10 month old puppy that still loves to jump up on me and other guests and He also has a habit of jumping on the patio door to get our attention. After much training, nothing seemed to work. After only 5 minutes with this collar I have already seen improvements. The tone only seems to work great. I only need to use the shock part if I need to get his attention. My only regret is that I didn't find this collar sooner."

UNBELIEVABLE! Date: February 24, 2007
"I purchased the PetSafe Comfort Fit Big Dog Remote Trainer as a last resort. I have an 8 month old Lab mix who was completely out of control. I tried obedience training, I watched every episode of The Dog Whisper and NOTHING was working. He was so hyper, I couldn't walk him without being pulled everwhere. Guest couldn't come over without being licked and jumped on. My son couldn't walk across the room without him jumping on him. The night I purchased it I saw amazing results. It was a shock to him and he didn't leave his crate. The next morning I took him for his walk and by then end of our walk he was right be side me. He now sits on command and lays down on command. By brother came to visit the next day and he didn't jump up on him. I have only had to use the 'shock' device 3 times. He responds to the sound that the trainer makes without having to use the shock technique. It is a wonderful training device and I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone at their wits end."

Works quickly Date: October 7, 2006
"I have a 53 pound 8 month old Australian Shepard/lab mix and he was out of control with jumping, biting, and barking. I was ready to bring him to the rescue that I got him from because no matter what I tried he would not stop. I started by just beeping the thing and sometimes he would respond to that but I have only had to give him the stimulation 4 times in the week and all other times the beep was enough. He has not jumped on me in several days and is really behaving himself. barking is down to appropriate levels and no biting after just 1 week. This is an excellent tool. I was hesitant to use a product like this but I am now thourghly convinced it is effective. He now sometimes respnds if I reach for the remote, he will sit and wait for me to stop and then comes to me for praise."

Smart Border Collie Date: March 21, 2006
"Our year and a half old border collie was very territorial. While he could not jump the fence of our yard, The USPS actually put our mail on dog hold because of his barking and jumping on our picket fence. Although we had to move the mail box, the Big Dog Remote Trainer has made a big differance on his barking, digging and jumping on the fence on the first day. The tone is very effective and we have used the shock only with the mail carrier in the area or when he really gets worked up. This training aid has made a big differance in less than one week. I would highly recommend this product to anyone with good strong willed, smart dog who has all the ability to be great and only needs some reinforcement. This product gets you over the hurdle and simplifies training. Very effective. Wish we discovered it 6 months ago."
