Remote Control Collar with Vibration and 6 Levels of Shock for Training Stubborn Insensitive Dogs Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I used this thing for 3 weeks. My routine: My dog wore the collar for 2 hours per day. I used the shock function maybe 2 or 3 times (total, over 3 weeks) then used only vibrate -- maybe 2 times per day. After our walk, I then I took the receiver collar off her and removed the battery, as per the instructions to prolong battery life.
Even with this VERY limited use, the receiver battery (a special 6V type) went dead in a week -- 5 to 7 days. The unit shipped with 2 batteries, but when I went shopping for a replacement, I found they cost $10 each at my local discount store. And the Duracell I bought didn't last any longer than the off-brand batteries that came with the collar.
Also, note that the shock level buttons are backwards of what most people would assume: "1" is the highest shock, and "6" is the lowest. I.e., smaller number = bigger shock. The directions do say this, but it's counter-intuitive -- and the first time I gave my 80-lb dog a "1", she jumped about two feet in the air. (I apologized profusely to her for not reading the directions.)
Now, the good news is that my dog did respond to the training, and learned quickly. But I need something that doesn't cost me $10 per week. I'm returning this one.
