A No Pull Training Simple Leash and Collar, Large (18.5" - 23")

I hope people who are planning on purchasing this notice that the majority of the negative reviews are from people who have never bought this product and are simply against using this kind of device on dogs.As a background, I had a fully trained Schutzhund dog from Germany. He is absolutely the best dog you could ever ask for. But just like any other shepherd, he only listens to one person (me), which translates to... he's a complete d*ckhead with other members of the family when they try to walk him.Really, Cesar Milan could walk him and he'd pay no attention to him.So enter simpleLeash. *heavenly music* I was skeptical and have always been one to study something for months, maybe years, before putting it into practice. I knew if used the wrong way, it could translate into a fearful dog, and a fearful GSD is a disaster waiting to happen. BUT considering he pulls other people in the family, I figured this might help in correcting the situation when it actually happens.The boyfriend was even more skeptical, and thought he would be torturing our dog by using this. HAHA... yeah, so when Albi first got shocked with him, he felt terrible. and then one miraculous day, he pulled him because he wanted to smell/lick something on the grass. Brian decided heck let him get shocked. Well, he did, and dog yelped a tiny yelp, and kept doing what he was doing. Which proves one thing:The dogs that need this are usually the strong breeds, which usually have high pain tolerance (they need it when they're in police work). Which means... this isn't torture at all. If anything, it's a surprise and that's that.We have it on the lowest setting, and it still helps. Unfortunately, my dog still only listens to just me, but this is a life saver when I'm sick and someone else has to take him out.Please don't listen to those who haven't bought it. No one will ever understand your plight with a dog that pulls more than me. And I have even hired different trainers and behaviorists to help with this problem, and nada. This leash is the best, even his vet wanted to know what it was because she thought it was a great idea (and she's a holistic mumbo-jumbo vet!).

Good idea but poor quality and questionable business practice.Received the collar shipped 2 day USPS but delayed (not their fault) so received it late.Testing revealed intermittent function. It beeped a couple of times, never shocked.Changed batteries, it beeped a few more times and shocked a couple of times but not always.BTW, the beep is barely audible. Not sure if it's supposed to be that way.The manual says that tension should be set from the factory at 5 lbs (middle range) and shock level set to lowest (of 3).The unit I received was set on heaviest tension and the highest shock level.Due to settings and drained batteries, I suspect that they sent me a returned unit.It worked intermittently but not always in testing.Returned waiting for refund.I may try to order again.

Works well only when on. Smart dogs off the collar will pull.Only solution is true training with nothing but a leash and collar (painful for both).1 star because NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. bought in September 2015.Stopped working in July 2016 for no reason. Batteries changed. Never submersion any sort of water. Probes are gently cleaned with a dry cloth. Battery changed again. It does not work.Their website does not load. They do not answer their customer [email protected] email. In fact, it came back as undeliverable . Their Telephone number goes to a gentleman's direct line.This company appears to be a total sham. If anyone has any suggestions for how I can contact them I would greatly appreciate it.I cannot return to Amazon it was bought in September.

On the VERY first walk using this collar my 110lbs. extremely exuberant 2 1/2 year old American Field Lab rescue pulled exactly ONCE. After that one correction the warning tone was enough. I've since capped one of the prongs, (as suggested in the instructions,) with one of the prong caps included in the package, (a clever use of the same tool used to change out the prongs to adjust for a long/short hair dog.)My guy has NEVER again pulled on our walks...no matter what the temptation. If he were to ever pull again, it would be very easy to remove the cap mid-walk so he would again get a correction. This is a real plus.Another plus is the control box incorporated in the collar that contains all the controls and batteries is very small and next to invisible. While I wish it was available in colors other than grey, (since my guy is black,) it is still almost unnoticeable, certainly much less obvious than a prong collar.I would have given this collar all 5-stars, but for: 1. To adjust the settings, (or replace the batteries,) requires unscrewing the control box. 2. Once you get it open, the switches and descriptions are so tiny you will need a magnifying glass to read them, and even with constant referral to the equally tiny print and pictures in the instructions, I was not sure what the actual settings were. 3. Not waterproof, (so we can walk on the beach, but if he wants to go in the water the collar has to be removed.) 4. I tried this on myself exactly once...at lowest setting, (factory set standard,) the vibration was so strong and unpleasant, it prompted me to open the thing up and try and ascertain if it was in fact the lowest setting, not really sure if it is or not, it was next to impossible to read the switch labeling... even when referring to the skimpy manual that comes with the unit. If it is the lowest setting possible, I can't even image what the higher settings would feel like, nor would I ever try it again on myself or another human I cared about.Despite these relatively minor complaints, given the instant improvement, I would recommend this product...particularly if you have a dog capable of flying you across the street and possibly dragging you along the pavement in the process as well. If that is your situation, you will be amazed at what this collar can do to improve your relationship with your dog.
