Petsafe PDT00-10603 Yard-and-Park Remote Trainer

Comment: Bought this shock collar about a month ago and so far it has worked extremely well. We use the number 6 setting and always issue a tone for a warning prior to the shock and it only took about 3 times before our lab began to catch on. Havent had to shock her in a week just use the tone. Battery lasts all day as long as you charge it the night before.

Comment: This collar looks great- the collar and remote both seem to be built well. The problem is that it just doesn't work. The functions quit working about 10 minutes after I started using it. This is another example of cheap junk from china that is flooding the USA. Don't buy it!

Comment: It works great. I purchased this because my dog would "bolt" after something and I could not get her back under control. I no longer have the problem. I don't need to use the shock on her anymore, just the warning beep and she listens great.

Comment: We have a 65 pound, very stubborn dog that will only listen when he wants to. We had put him through obedience classes and while I think they were great he only listened to commands when it was convenient for him. This product has changed all of that and he is now very obedient. The first time I used the product I had to turn it up relatively high before I ever got a response from him (6). But after only one time of zapping him at that level I have never had to zap him ever again. Now just the warning sound and he will listen to any command I give. He does get scared when I put the collar on him but it is just a mental thing and I hope to break him of this. So I would take the advice of others here and put the collar on 1/2 before and 1/2 after a training session and do fun activities with it on so your dog doesn't associate the collar with negative feelings.

I like the quality of the product as everything feels really sturdy and doesn't feel like it will break. The fake-leather collar is sturdy and very adjustable. I like the option to only give a warning message as I don't want to zap my dog. The charger will charge both the collar and the handset at once and no batteries are needed (This is essential). I don't have any battery issues like other people have reported and the charge seems to last forever.

Comment: Works better than expected, and the plus side is that the correctional sound is the same as for the invisible fences so If you have one of them or are thinking of getting one of them then the learning curve once the dog has mastered one is almost NIL.
