Summary: We love this collar. It has dramatically reduced our dog's barking. He was a very obedient dog in all other ways but his nuisance barking would make us crazy. The collar system was not hard to learn how to use and it is very effective as long as you use it consistently. It does not feel inhumane to us. We only have to set it on 2 most of the time. Every once in a while when he gets into a frenzy we turn it up to 3 or 4. We are all much more at peace now, including the dog because he has learned to stop getting so wound up about things that don't matter. We had previously used the citronella spray collar to curb his barking and that eventually became ineffective because it did not consistently spray him and he also learned that if he barked long enough he could empty the spray reservoir. Also it may be of interest that our dog is only 7 pounds and we are still able to use this collar, we just wrap the collar strap around his neck a second time. This collar is well worth the money and I'm very happy that we didn't buy some cheaper brand/model.

2 dogs: German Shorthair, Lab. Pet. Hunting dog.
It would be nice if it had changeable contacts for the collars.
Contacts provided work great for the shorthair but I need to have the collar extremely tight on the lab because of the thicker fur. The magnetic switch to turn on the collar works fine when hunting around home but you need to be careful how you pack it when going on a trip. First trip I took, I put everything in my backpack only to discover that the controller had turned a collar on while travelling and it needed charged when I got there. Fortunately, I had overnight to charge it. It is still an excellent product for the price.

Cons: Length of collar even on medium/large size dogs and you cannot cut it because of the internal antenna. The toggle switch on the remote to change dogs is easily breakable
Overall very good unit I would recommend it

The remote was cheaply made and fell apart with normal use. The collar itself took a long time to charge and seemed to deliver an inconsistant shock. We have since purchased a Sport Dog collar and found it to be a much better alternative.
