Review: Awesome! Way easier than the original dogtra collar - Love this product! And love Tom. He is an amazing human and I love the unique way he goes about dog training. I use the dogtra products for work as a trainer but also use them on my dogs at home. The issue for me was, I don't need the e-collar on my dogs all of the time just when training or going somewhere off leash. My dogs have different sized necks and I did not want to cut the original collar my unit came with so I was folding it over. This however makes things wayyyyy easier, quicker & more efficient! I read the bad reviews this product has received and I just want to say the following. If your dog chewed the bungee cord that's dangling, sorry but that's on us (the human) tuck it in, fold it, get creative. Dogs will chew things that dangle or are bothering them in the same way we would want something removed if it were bothering us. Also, how did your dog reach the back of its neck to chew the cord off? Because the electronic part should be towards the front of its neck or to the side not on the back. Anyways, if my cord does eventually need to be replaced I'll go ahead and replace it. The time this thing is saving me every day is worth it! I'm going to start recommending it to clients who don't have the time to fuss with the typical buckle collar on the daily. I especially love that when I'm out with my dogs doing active things, it's tight and secure without it being as constricted as the buckle collar was. I'm having my dogs run fast, jump up, go swimming and there is a lot of movement therefore this helps alot! Thanks Tom for creating this awesome and very cool lookin collar. NO BAD DOGS! Love it.
Review: Training tool that works! - This product has help define the dog my puppy has grown into. My puppy wasn't terrible at listening, but often was more distracted at what was going on around us when we were outside. It helped grab his attention and keep him focused on my instructions. I live where there are wild animals, cars, snakes and plenty of other things that could potentially hurt a curious pup. This has helped keep him from harm, that my voice alone would not have many times over. It may be a bit pricey but the durability and the quality speak for itself. As long as you keep an eye on the battery and use it as its intended it works great. I did buy some other collars to attach this to, to get the fit just right. I am very thankful for this product and my dog truly loves to wear it. Most of the time now I can just use a command without even using the collars features because he has it ingrained into him now. I never have to turn it up much and usually a quick buzz does the job.

A: I too have a (I think about a 90 pound)  pitbull . and boy can he be stubborn and hardheaded at times.  but the minute I mention the word “collar” whoo -  does he straighten his butt up right now!! but I put it on him not every day but on the days when he’s just being stubborn and not listening, and then he’ll be good for another few days because he doesn’t want the collar on .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Would have lost my mind without it!
*by C***A on September 20, 2024*

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!
