Best Purchase for Dog Problem Date: November 13, 2008
"I had a puppy that loved to eat her and the dominate dogs excrement. I went crazy trying to stop her. I finally got this trainer, and every time she started, I zapped her with the N button and yelled her name. She stopped in her tracks and ran to me. It only took about three times and now every time she may attempt the eating again, I just yell her name and she stops in her tracks and runs to me.

I also use it to stop the two pit bulls in my neighbors yard from eating my new chain link fence to get to my dogs.

I can't get the tight screw out to change the battery though and am still trying."

not so great Date: June 4, 2008
"this didn't work well for us. we have a lab mix who can be absolutely crazy! i bought this to try & calm her down. Once she figured out where the sound was coming from she came over to me & started barking at it. It may work for some dogs - but not ours. Then again, I also bought a bark collar after this didn't work, and I had to return it. It had a "safety" device where if a dog barked more than 4 time in 1 minute it would reset itself & not go on for 3 minutes (i think?). Well, she figured out if she barked quickly it wouldn't work anymore, then she just kept right on barking!"

Works great for My dog! Date: January 21, 2008
"The N button is inaudible to humans, but when I press it, my dog stops in her tracks! I bought it primarily for training when my dog is rushing the front door or jumping on guests. It also works when she starts to get rowdy and nippy.
The remote warns against using it in a multiple dog household (because the well-behaved dog might get the wrong idea and think they are being disciplined!) It also says not to hold the button down for longer than a certain amount of time. There are two buttons, N for negative and P for positive. the positive just sounds like a cell phone or digital camera keypay entry beep. My dog doesn't particularly like it the positive tone, but I do try to click it when she has calmed down. The remote works also within a certain range, like 20 ft I think it is?
The one annoying thing about the remote is that when you buy it you have to have a small screwdriver (like for eyeglasses) to open it up to put the batteries in. That was a pain in my behind to do because the screws were screwed in tight."

It didn't work for us... Date: November 26, 2007
"I bought this product do stop my black lab from barking. Anyone who walked by the house she would bark at. So I tried it. My dog was in the backyard (we have a small back yard) barking at a man who was walking by. I pressed it and she just started running around the yard more, still barking. Maybe this will work on smaller dogs or puppies, I don't know. It just didn't work for us."

Dont even think about it Date: September 5, 2007
"I have two little dachshunds that bark and growl almost 24/7 and at everyone but me. I purchased the remote hoping it would relieve some of the headache, but no dice. When I used the negative sound, the dogs didnt even look around to see where it was coming from, just a little ear movement. The positive sound was the only sound they acknowleged, and that was just turning their head to see where it was coming from. It was just a complete waste of money."

Awful waste of money Date: August 7, 2007
"This product did nothing for my dog. The first time I used it, he just looked at me like, "Did you hear that?" He did not care at all about the tones. I am now purchasing another training collar that is more expensive, but I have now learned that you get what you pay for with things like these."

What a blessing Date: October 26, 2006
"This is as excellant easy to use training aid. One quick push of the button and my golden retreaver stops in his tracks. After only a few lessons he changed is behavior. I have recommended this to several friends. Just keep it out to the reach of children. Over corrention is a bad thing."

Not for Multi-pet households Date: September 8, 2006
"We purchased this item to prevent our new dog from chasing our cats. However, after purchasing, we found out that this product corrects every pet within approx. 30-ft range. This product would work great for single pet households, but would not be for a multiple pet family. If we only had one pet, I would love this item. But, we will have to return the item because I was unaware that all pets would receive the correction. I would recommend this item for single pet households only."
