Title: Would have lost my mind without it!
Review: Awesome collar! Used this with my very stubborn heeler pup. I mainly wanted this for recall. It was hit or miss whether she would come when called (mostly miss), especially when she was distracted. It does take some time to get your dog used to it, but once you get the hang of it its very easy to use. My pup is 5 months now but we are off leash in the yard and woods. This is also great for corrections when you can’t get to the dog fast enough.I use the collar at a level 3 which I can’t even feel. Boost at 13 which I can feel but isn’t painful. I use boost for when she tries to herd my daughter, and worked great for training her not to eat the chickens.The vibrate really does nothing for her except cause her to itch her neck.I’ve not tested the range, it’s plenty for my purposes and we’ve not even got close to needing the full range. We have tested the water proofing many times and never had any issues there.I guess the only negative is that she chewed the bungee cords off where she could reach them immediately, luckily there was enough left to still use.Overall this was definitely worth the money. I would’ve lost my mind without it! My dog now helps me with the chicken chores and comes with me to check trail cams, no leash needed and it’s great. She’s actually excited when I get it out because she knows it’s off leash time!

Title: My reactive dog can watch dogs pass her fence without yelling at them
Review: I love almost everything about this collar. My dog had a rough first 2 years of her life, from an abusive first owner to an entire year in the shelter before I found her. We have faced some challenges in the year and a half she’s been with me. She’s been aggressive toward people walking along the street while she’s in the fenced in backyard. I muzzle trained her because I was so concerned she would bite somebody. Last summer she was terrified of fireworks. I followed guidance from trainers recommending no aversive measures and she just got worse.The final straw was when she escaped three different times inside a month and found the $350 show chickens down the street. Thankfully the chickens have a high fence she hasn’t figured out how to get around, so no birds were harmed. I hunted for any means to improve her training and found Tom Davis’s YouTube channel. I like his training style and very much respect how he explains e-collars, so I decided to give it a try.In just over 2 months, I now have a dog who will recall off a squirrel or dogs walking past her fence. Passing walkers and dogs might get a growl and a bark, but she comes back to me before I even call her half of the time now. Somehow, I also do not have a dog afraid of going outside in the evenings even though fireworks were just as brutal this year as they were last year.This collar works exactly as Dogtra and Tom Davis describe. The remote is easy to use. I have my dog on a 4 setting with a boost of 4 (meaning a setting of 8 when boosted) which I do still need when dogs take us by surprise.The only thing I don’t like is the collar. I thought I would like the easy elastic collar, but it’s a pain to put on for a squirmy dog. I still can’t get her to sit still! I recently switched the collar out for a regular buckle, and with the size of her neck I like it better. The stretchy ties were really too long for my girl, but her big pitty head (and squirminess) made it so that shortening them wouldn’t have worked. I can see it working better on much larger dogs.

Title: Very Dangerous, DO NOT PURCHASE
Review: I purchased the 1st model of this device back in July 2023. Love the unit and never had an issue until recently and I've had to send it to Dogtra twice to have repairs done. The 1st time the collar wouldn't turn on. This last time the remote would be fully charged and I would press the "nick" button and the battery would drop to 1 bar and the light would rapidly flash red. Press the "nick" button a 2nd time and the remote would be dead. Not sure why it worked great for a yr then the last month I've had 2 issues. I purchased the newer model with the Boost N Lock to have as a backup because we use the e-collar daily. I purchased this one on July 15th, delivered on the 26th and it was dead so I charged it and used it for the 1st time on July 29th. Used it for an hr and it left a bad spot on my dogs neck. Amazon and Dogtra should be ashamed this device is being sold and can do irreparable harm to a dog. I called Dogtra but their customer service line was closed for the day, but u can guarantee im calling as soon as it's open tomorrow. Nobody buy this device and subject their loved one to this type of harm. I feel terrible a decision I made did this to my sweet boy. It seems Tom Davis cares more about what money he is making from Dogtra than to make sure a product he attaches his name and brand to is safe. The 1st model is a fantastic unit minus the last month due to the issues I've mentioned. I'll be at Bass Pro Shop as soon as the doors open and purchasing a Garmin e-collar.

Title: A Transformational Tool
Review: After a disappointing experience with a budget e-collar that left my dog more stressed than trained, I was hesitant to invest in another. The leap of faith was worth it. This high-quality e-collar has been a game-changer in our training routine. Its ability to adjust to very low stimulus levels means my dog responds without any stress or fear, a critical factor in effective training.The lock button is a feature I didn’t know I needed, but now can’t live without. It eliminates the worry of accidentally increasing the intensity, allowing me to focus fully on the training session. However, the standout feature has to be the boost button. It's brilliantly designed for moments of higher distraction, gently reminding my dog to focus without overcorrection.In just one week, the change in our walks is night and day. No more tears of frustration for me; we're enjoying our time together, and my dog's responsiveness, even to the first call back indoors, has improved dramatically. It's not just an e-collar; it's a bridge to better communication with my dog. Absolutely a 10/10 purchase.
