The Ultimate Solution

October 24, 2020

Septuagenarian lady brings home German Shepherd puppy during pandemic. Dog is going to outweigh her. No dog training classes due to Covid and multiple deaths in the family, delay obedience lessons. Pictured is Hudson at 7 months, when he began displaying male GSD dominant tendencies, and unnecessary barking. It took me longer to properly charge and position the collar, then it took Hudson to know he was wearing the collar and should behave. After 3 to 4 days of a couple of vibrations that are usually followed by 5 or less shock, I only have to show him the remote and he behaves. I wish the instruction manual was a little clearer about on/off and charging procedure, but this is a great collar.

Pros

It comes with an actual charger that plugs into the wall and WORKS, instead of slow pretending to charge on your computer. It stays charged and it WORKS.

Cons

There are none.

Great training tool

Excellent resource for training and reinforcing those learned commands.

Pros

Easy to use and compact transmitter

Cons

Older models came with two sizes of contact, the newer ones don't. The longer contacts made it nice for dogs with thicker coats.

IT WORKS

June 2, 2021

I ordered the training collar over the telephone. The woman I talked to was very nice and new what she was doing. She didn't try to sell me anything other than what I wanted. We had a pleasant conversation.

The collar works very nicely. I bought the small dog training collar despite Duke IX being a German Shepard and weighing 100 pounds He doesn't respond to the vibrating mode but I'm sure if he was a small dog the vibrating mode would work. He respond very nicely to a low setting on the shock part.

We go to the beach every morning and he is off leach most of the time, depending on the bicycle traffic. I highly recommend IQ Small Dog Training collar.

Quick training control

March 28, 2021

Recently got a year old rescue dog from the local animal shelter. She was always friendly and playful in the yard. (Sometimes too playful). Taking her for a walk was a handful since she just wanted to keep pulling. After one day with the collar and only mild stimulation, she is now a pleasure to take for a walk. She responded so well with only vibration that we changed to the plastic probes. This insures that we don't accidentally hit the stimulate button. Her vibrate response level was 60 or above but her stimulate response level was around 20. We rarely need to hit the vibrate button anymore. She responses so well that when the collar is on, she knows we are in training mode, Now we push the button only to get her attention if she doesn't respond to our voice command.
We were initially leery of using a collar device to train a dog. This unit has taken away the frustration and confusion of training.

Pros

Works well. Transmitter and receiver housing are compact and well made. Holds charge for a long time. Comes with metal and insulated probes.

Cons

Turning the unit off is hit or miss with the proximity switch. It may just be getting use to it. But you need to visually verify that the receiver green light is flashing or not.
