PATPET Dog Training Collar with Remote – 2 Receivers Dog Shock Collar for Large Medium Small Dogs Up to 1000Ft Control Range

Game changer! Great for training, bad behavior, stopping digging, and getting used to cats!
So, I resisted getting one of these a long time because I’m very humane with my pets, and was just ignorant about the whole topic and didn’t think it was necessary to try to stop a dogs natural behavior to bark. I’ve had a lot of pets over my lifetime, and never needed this type of item.That was — until I adopted an Aussie-mix spitfire of a dog with barky all day, non-stop destructive, hyper energy! (If we don’t exercise her for hours daily, she tears everything up.)This collar has so many benefits and features, it is well worth it! We never even have to use the shock feature, and it’s already helped us train our aussie herding dog to curb digging behavior, stop chasing our inside cats, and to stop barking at the neighborhood kids non stop, and barking constantly at people on walks. I’ve also used it to stop her from eating my plants and landscape items outside so she can learn which sticks are okay, and that my forsythia shrub is ‘not okay’ to chew.Pro tip>Get yourself a lanyard to hook this to make it wearable. Now, all I have to do is show my dog I have the lanyard around my neck and she behaves! (Again, I haven’t even had to use the shock feature). She just knows what it means and that I can follow her behavior more closely.We had an auto bark collar first before this that I tried, and my dog didn’t care at all. With that other one, even on level 5/highest level she kept barking even though it buzzed and vibrated.For some reason, she is was better with this PatPet collar, because of the controller I think and she knows I can press the button more unpredictably.If you see your dog digging, you can warn them with the beep and vibrate. If they lunge or bark on walks, you can use it to keep them better behaved and train better behavior.It was great redirecting our aussie with our indoor cats too. When she went to chase them or lunge towards them, we’d beep and then vibrate if she continued. Now, she pretty much ignores them for the most part.This collar has been well worth the price, I highly recommend it! Within about 6 months of more consistent use, we often go weeks without using it, but when bad behavior stats up – we simply use it again and our dog is back to her good behavior.We do make sure to take it off when inside resting and at night for comfort, and we don’t use it at all when she is doing well behavior wise. The charge lasts a long time.We also tested it on our older dog when he gets extra barky, and he hated just the vibrate feature. Now all I have to do is just show him the collar, and he stops the outside constant barking. He’s a sweet old guy who doesn’t need it though! Overall, solid, great purchase!

Best e-collar overall
This is our go to e-collar. We have had to buy several over the past 3 years which is why I’m rating it 4 stars. However, I think the battery just goes bad after a while. we have tried other in between and they don’t compare. It’s easy to use, good quality, range is great. I will only continue to buy this one.

Works great
Works great like butter

There is NO LOCK on this shock collar
This shock collar has a VIBRATION mode and a SOUND mode as well as a SHOCK mode. All work from #1 (low) to high. Choose LOW setting on Shock and see FIRST if your dog responds to it before increasing intensity. Read instructions and look online for reputable use in using a collar like this. I would actually use VIBRATION first; I thought my dog would need to be shocked because her jumping was more extreme than I’ve ever seen in any dog we’ve had (she playfully left bruises on us for her first 7 months) but I WAS WRONG!! The VIBRATION gets her attention and STOPPED her jumping! She is obedient to “sit”, “wait”, “heel”, and even “no”, but would not respond to “no” when it came to jumping. She body-slammed us several times a day even with normal training. I gave in and bought the shock collar. She jumped at me with the collar on her the first time, I said “no” firmly, she ignored me, and I buzzed her. She hasn’t jumped on us starting the end of the first day and for several days since. At first, I carried the controller with me and then my voice was enough, firmly not yelling, if I could see she was getting excited to jump—even though she was afraid of the VIBRATION, and did not jump after the first day. She is a calmer girl in other areas than she was, tho I had not anticipated this. My only problem with this device is that there is NO LOCK, so I can accidentally shock my dog just by carrying the remote and bumping it. Forget putting it in your pocket!!! This is bad for a number of reasons, one big problem being that your dog can get an accidental shock for not doing anything wrong! Confusing to her. You cannot just lay the remote on a table either—-it ALWAYS goes BUTTON SIDE DOWN, and you need both hands free to get it on its back—where there are no buttons. Other than that, if used correctly, collar is good in breaking a bad habit from a distance as well as up to inches away. I would buy one which locks tho, and I thought this did. Must have looked at so many and the specs became confused in my head.
