I got this collar about 2 months when treats and positive reinforcement were not helping much outside the house. Even with chicken and hot dogs in my hand my dog would run about and just do his own thing. i've tried every suggestion on the internet and have read multiple training books. This was my last resort as my dog's safety became an issue. In the house my dog is fine and mastered the sit/stay command, leave it, drop it, roll over, beg, shake paw, wave, and stand. However, once he is outside in the park and off leash his energetic side takes over and not even chicken or hot dogs can get him to obey the above mentioned commands. My dog is a highly energetic 1 and a half year old weimaraner/greyhound mix. Even having him outside and exercising him for about 3 hours a day was not enough to bring down his energy level to the point that he would obey my commands. One day he ran into the parking lot of an open park and it took me over a half hour and a near heart attack to get him back. I hadn't returned with him to the park and he was restricted to gated dog runs, which meant less time exercising since these dog runs are far away from my house. I followed the instructions and the dvd training that came with it, as well as, researching online. This collar has definitely changed my life and my dog's life. I now bring him on a regular basis to the open park and i hardly ever have to use the collar. He even sits and stays when he sees another dog and won't move unless i give the command. I even walk him back to the car off leash, which i park in the street. I'm still amazed that this is the same dog that use to run circles around me and fly to the other end of the park and nearly run into a busy intersection and get hit by a car. People think that this is torture and inhumane. I've tried this on myself and it is not painful unless you go to the highest settings and even with my energetic dog i haven't had the need to even come close to the midway point on the remote. Like i said i hardly even use it now. i probably average 1-2 times of use in the park over a one hour span. Most importantly his "come" command is spot on and will drop anything he is doing once he hears the command. I love this collar and the only inhumane part would be keeping your dog trapped in the house rather than having him run out in the open chasing the ball,playing with other dogs, and just simply sniffing off leash by your side. Remember its important to use it responsibly and take your time training yourself first. You won't be dissappointed.

Nice product but not able to stand up to normal wear and tear. After only a short time, about a year the "belt loops" or Collar strap Retaining loops broke on both sides of the collar. After talking to TT, they blame the problem on the user, saying that owner were chaining their pets up to the collar or grabbing the dog by the collar creating too much presser, but admit to changing the material used on newer units. I would not recommend this unit TT doesn't stand behind their products they want to charge us $60.00 to repair their defective unit. Sorry TT but that's pretty poor customer service.
Unhappy customer. Bad review. Spread the word.
Here is a link to some pictures I took to show the broken unit. Copy and paste this in your browser.

For safety, I use a Tri-Tronics Sport Basic G3 remote shock collar for two issues. First, this collar has assured me that my dog will "Come" when commanded. I also used this collar to stop a problem in the local dog park that my dog was causing. And it worked!!! It has been one year since purchased, and I now rarely have to use it. Training my dog was a snap too - 1 day. VERY IMPORTANTLY, I recommend you initially supplement your dogs training using TREATS after any shock. When you see the look on your dog's face after his first few shocks, you'll understand why this is a great, and humane, training method. Treats, and lots of petting, were used to let my dog know that everything was OK, and he obeyed my order. "Good boy! Here's a treat." I believe it really made all the difference in how my dog interpreted those initial shocks. Additionally, if you take your dog out for off-leash fun at night, purchase the optional (red, white, or blue) light that can be added on to the collar for $44 or so. So far, it has passed the rabbit chasing test and has not shut off like most cheap clip on type LED lights. Highly recommended for off-leash.

I was apprehensive at first to utilize an electronic collar with our dog. The suggestion however came from an expert trainer and after educating ourselves on the pros/cons of this training method, we decided it was a good fit for our dog. We mostly use the collar on the lowest setting and it has allowed us to begin taking our dog places off leash (where allowed). We know she'll respond while at the same time, she gets the independence she so much desires. This is a great e-collar - it has great range, is waterproof, is easy to charge, easy to use, etc.

i recently purchased this collar in an effort to regain control over my 2 year old german shepard.I was not able to take him out for walks alone out of fear for him atacking someone and because he would be the one walking me.Ive used this product 3 times and after the first their was a total change. I can now walk him with one hand and feel like i have complete control over him. Im not a very strong person so for me this was a wonderful thing. We were to the breaking point with him and i know that this was the best thing i could have gotten. The only thing that I do differently than the video is shocking him every once and a while like the video teaches you to do. I feel that the purpose of this product is to correct him when hes doing something wrong and dont feel it necessary to do it all the time....All dogs are different so do the method that you feel will work best. But do watch the video first
