- Dog Shock Collar - 4200FT Dog Training Collar with Remote Innovative IPX7 Waterproof with 4 Training Modes, Rechargeable E-Collar for All Breeds

First off, I am an experienced dog handler of Shepherds and Dobermans. E-Collars get a bad rap because people don't know how to use them properly. It is VERY important that anyone using this or any device like it understand that it is NOT meant to be a punishment or an alternative to proper training. It is a communication tool. You issue the command, if they don't honor it, you issue the command again in combo with the stimulus from the collar. You might elect to wait til the third try at the command to issue the stimulus and work your way down to the 2nd try depending on your dog, the situation, etc. High drive working breed dogs like mine sometimes need a reminder that I'm talking to them. Its a nudge, an incentive to honor commands the first time on behaviors they've already been taught. Start at the lowest setting and work your way up just until you find that sweet spot. Its likely lower than you think you'll need. Do NOT use this as a punishment for things you haven't taught them yet. Thats what reward/treats are for. Put the time in to train your dog with positive reinforcements for the desired behavior. Use this device to remind/reinforce behaviors they've already been taught. I work from home and a house full of large breed dogs can really mess up a zoom meeting so these were acquired simply to control barking and general disruptive behavior that might otherwise force me away from my desk. This device is way better than standard bark collars as you control the stimulus and if you have multiple dogs at home or in your neighborhood, any bark collar that responds to sound will be going off constantly on the dog wearing it regardless of who is barking or if the unit hears something resembling a bark. Thats cruel. I do own some of the much higher priced E-Collars which work well for off leash, hiking, public settings, etc. but can be confusing for many folks. I purchased these specifically for use at home/on my property as they were simpler for my 13yr old daughter to use and I wasn't as concerned w/battery life, wear and tear, added features, etc. at home. I am very pleased with these units. I initially purchased one and quickly got more for all my dogs. I elected to get full 2 piece sets for each dog instead of multiple collars on one hand held unit because the switching back and forth between collars can lose important seconds when correcting a dog. It was easier for me for each dog to have their own set of a different color. Theyre all lined up on my desk while I'm working making rapid correction of the offending party easy. They were inexpensive, VERY easy to program and use, battery life for me lasts up to a week. Just 3 buttons (Beep, Vibrate, electro-stimulous). I only use the vibrate and beep options which is enough. As with most e-collar training, once the dog knows the consequence of not minding a command, they quickly mind the command the first time. They understand what the collar is and behave better simply by wearing it or seeing you reach for it. My house is MUCH quieter. Thank you.

Excellent battery life on the collar itself. Simple controls on the controller. Each function has its own button on the handheld controller: Four buttons total and one knob to change the levels of each function. One button for tone, one for vibrate, one for static shock, one for boost static shock. The turn knob at the top to change the levels of everything: Just press the control knob down repeatedly until you find the desired function/effect, it will blink on the screen and then turn the knob to cycle through the levels. Levels: There are 8 different tones, 16 levels of vibration, 99 levels of static shock. My dog has very long hair. If the prongs aren't on the skin, even level 99 doesn't stop him. He feels it, but it doesn't stop him. He is also very high strung, high energy. However, if the dog has short hair or if the hair around the neck is kept trimmed, it's is REALLY, REALLY effective. Also, the range is awesome. My dog likes to escape like a sailor on Liberty Call, and I can sound the tone from far away and figure out his location. I would definitely purchase this one again. The battery life on the collar itself makes it worthwhile. We've had it for weeks, used it extensively and only charged the collar once. It is rechargable and comes with the charger cable. You'll have to provide your own adapter. This is the best training collar I've ever purchased. So much easier to use than the more well-known name brands.

I have only opened and charged the product so far. The product was packaged well and materials are high quality. Both the collar and charger have a light to indicate they are charging and the process is quick. After charging and during use, make sure there is a flashing green light. Now I need to learn about usage.... I may come back later and post further details after I use the collar on my dog. UPDATE 10/23/24: This is an incredible product! It is very versatile as it has several settings and intensity levels. I have a 1.5 year old Yellow Labrador Retriever. I used the vibration setting on the remote and put the intensity level at "10" to correct several behavioral issues with my dog. This setting only gave my dog a vibration but it stopped my dog in his tracks immediately. His initial response was to look behind himself as he thought he was being attacked by something. He soon realized that when he disobeyed commands or came near particular plants, places or things he received a buzz. It only took one or two instances of buzzing to get him to stop a bad behavior. This product is nothing less than miraculous. I only regret not purchasing this product sooner. When my dog was a puppy, he created lots of frustration acting out his will. My dog had the following behavioral issues: 1) not responsive (ignoring) commands to come into the house when outside, 2) urinating on sensitive rose and other flowering bushes and burning them, 3) twisting his head to the ground and flopping over so that it was impossible to take put on/take off his tie-out lead from collar, 4) grabbing soil from my potted plants and eating it (he kept getting parasites from this behavior), and 5) grabbing paper, plastic of all sorts, and other objects/materials off the floor or out of garbages and eating it and making messes. To begin his behavioral training, I simply carried the remote with me any time I walked around the house or took my dog outside to poddy. When I witnessed a bad behavior, I pushed the upper most left vibrate button and gave him a 'buzz." When my dog received a buzz he became highly irritated and a bit spooked by the buzz and instantly stopped the bad behavioral and vacated the area. Sometimes my dog goes back to a bad behavior a second time within minutes, however, when he receives a second 'buzz" he does not return a third time. I previously mentioned the 5 top behavioral issues that my dog had and one was urinating on rose and other delicate flowering plants... I taught him over the course of one day that he couldn't urinate on certain plants without getting a "buzz." Since this time he has never urinated on these bushes, but does so on other bushes (oleanders) that are tougher than nails. So, you can actually train your dog to poddy in certain parts of your yard and stay away from others (like delicate plants, a newly planted tree, or real or synthetic grass as examples). Every once in awhile my dog may want to exercise his will and go back to a bad behavior like twisting his head to the ground while attaching the tie-out cable/lead to his collar. (Not sure why this has been such a challenge to correct!) In this instances, I start to carry around the remote control for a day or two and anytime he misbehaves, I correct him with a "buzz." And wah lah he's broken of this bad behavior for another spell of time. In earlier times, these types of collars were called "shock collars" and actually inflicted a bit of pain. However, with this collar there are so many different setting including noises and vibrations that are very humane and do not harm dogs but only serve to startle and scare. My dog has never cried or whimpered during/after a buzz. This setting only startles him. Before you use a setting, I suggest using the setting on yourself against a clothed leg. If the setting hurts you-don't use it on your dog. One last comment... Both the remote and collar have a flashing green light when working. When either doesn't have the flashing green light it is out of charge or not switched "on." The remote and collar run out of charge around the same time. When one device runs out of charge the other usually runs out a day or two later so charge them both around the same time so that they are on the same charging cycle. I have tried to use the collar several times when it was out of charge and wondered why it didn't work. Haha... I highly recommend this product for its price competitiveness, quality, safety and overall effectiveness. This definitely was a game-changer for me and my dog and has eliminated many frustrating reoccurring acts of disobedience in a humane way. This product has dramatically improved the relationship between me and my dog by increasing our happy moments and eliminating a lot of frustration. Happy dog parenting! :)

This collar is great. I like the long range it has. The remote is light and easy to carry around. I like that the beep noise is so loud. The only issue I have, is the battery on the collar doesn't last long. The collar can fit along with a normal collar for walks without causing discomfort.

Excelente producto. Definitivamente no es mágico, por que el perro no va a entender solo lo quieres que haga o deje de hacer. Pero en definitiva es muy buena opción para entrenar al perro y que deje de ladrar tanto. Mi perro se despertaba en la madrugada a ladrar mucho y nos despertaba, habíamos intentado de todo, desde juguetes para distraerlo hasta música, pero comenzamos a entrenarlo por las tardes cuando ladraba con el collar puesto, reforzando con un "NO", y con el puro sonido y vibración aprendió, no fue necesario el electroshock y eso que es un perro bastante testarudo. Recomendaría 100%.

Very good

Buen producto y cumple con las expectativas
