Rated 5 out of 5 by Ryanwk So far... very good!
Im only a couple days into the training program and my dog is responding very well. Ive also been using it to keep him from trying to get on the furniture or jumping on people. The DVD was very helpful. Plan on also having a training chain because the concept is that the collar is a training chain at a distance, but you teach the dog by his side with the training chain.

Sporting dogs know one gear. Teaching them to reel it in a little, especially those stuck in town, can be a problem. Darwin is loving his new collar. A much better pal and a lot more fun for all of us. That tone makes sure he knows what he needs to do.

Wanted something to train dog not to chase my truck up entry road when I left the yard. Two trials is all it took! Dog still happy to ride in truck or walk around yard with us (10 acres), but no more interest in following the truck. She stays right in yard by cabin when we leave.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dwcphoto Excellent
We have a lab pup, 65 pounds at eight months and growing fast. We were having some trouble with him nosing into food, the dishwasher, trash, etc.. and a little bit on the trail. The collar helps train him that food and trash are just a bad idea, without knowing we are watching. This morning a deer ran near us in the woods and the dog started to chase. With the collar set on 3 and a sharp 'Back!" command he was at my side in no time. We usually only have it set on 1 or 2. Money well spent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MissouriGirl Keeps our wandering beagle mix near by!
Our beagle mix gets "tunnel vision" when we take her hiking and snow shoeing and will run off chasing the scent of a rabbit. We hate to keep her on leash, but she has left us no choice. The Sportdog collar lets her explore and when we think she has extended her boundary, we can "call" her back. We have not even had to use the shock feature. The tone is enough to get her attention and bring her back!!!

This is a replacement collar and much more durable than the last. Preforms as expected and is waterproof. The dog is in and out of a pond all day. Have only had to use the tone feature- good dog! Works Great!

LAicewater Works at even -50C.
Everything POSITVE that everyone else wrote is dead on - so the only thing I have to add is that i thought for sure that at -50C (with windchill), it would freeze and that i would have to wait for warmer temps to train my ~ new to me ~ 2.5 yr old German Sheppard. A few times i thougth it would be funny to shoot a Winter training video on the ice - the opposite conditions of the excellent video they provide with the equipment :). Within a week, she was coming and sitting!
From Iqaluit, Nunavut (that's in Northern Canada ;) )
* I attached a picture to show the conditions of my backyard where i walk my sheppard, if you look really closely, you will see my LOOSE husky that i couldnt catch all morning, i am ordering a second collar for him :)

Rated 4 out of 5 by goldenreceiver Good piece of mind
I haven't had this collar long. I'm sure it will be used alot this summer when my golden's socialization hits a high. With minimal use it has worked well so far. No issues at this time. However since I've used it so little I'd like to write some more about this collar at a later date.

We've only had the collar for a couple weeks but we've used it to help an English Coon Hound that we are taking care of. He didn't respond to anything else and we've tried quite a few things.
So far it has been really effective, particularly when we are walking or running with him so that he knows to stay close and it helps him ignore distractions.
He also appears to be more comfortable with us now that he understands better that we are in charge so overall we are really happy with the unit.
The charge appears to last quite a while (we use it for a few hours a day at most and haven't charged it since the first time) but obviously our experience is very short.
Overall we are impressed.
