Innotek Basic Remote Trainer

This product has been nothing short of magic. I set the collar to give the tone before giving a shock, and took our independent 7 year old Akita mix to a large fenced enclosure. In fifteen minutes training he came reliably and immediately when called. I don't believe he received a shock from my short button presses, only the tone. That was two months ago. Since then our off-leash walks in the woods have been a delight. No more embarassing shouting and I rarely use the button. It's easy to switch the collar on and off by touching it with the remote. With my level of use, less than an hour a day, I don't expect battery life to be a problem.

The collar worked well at first -transmitted slight, annoying but not painful shock (tested on my hand). Range was OK, but not great. Then totally stopped working after about 2 weeks.

I purchased this as a desparate measure to train an 8 month old Golden mix that we rescued to stop nipping at my two young children. She is still a puppy, but with two small kids, I didn't have the time to spend training her or the patience to tolerate it until she outgrew it. She was also digging a little and jumping on people. This changed all those behaviors almost instantly. I still use this, but not nearly as often as I did at first. Now I did have an issue with a somewhat defective remote. Seemed like the battery wasn't connecting. But that was fixed by calling customer service. They sent a replacement. Don't hesitate to buy this. It is not inhumane. In fact, I believe that it's more humane than traditional training as there is no yelling involved or frustration for you or the dog.

My dog, like every other dog, wants to be good... They just don't know what we want. Charlie gets excited. He's not fixed and his hormones start raging and he starts getting crazy. We moved on to 3.5 acres and I wanted him to be able to enjoy it, but there was no way we were gonna put a fence up. Our neighbors have chickens and that is really exciting for him.

The first day out with the remote trainer, we had quite an adventure. I initially changed the settings to have a tone, then correction and left it at level one. When we got near the chickens, he wasn't responding, so I boosted it (takes it up 2 levels) still wasn't enough, so I had to pop off the cover and increase it to level 4. He eventually started responding. Then we got over by the other neighbor, who has a rottweiller. Once again, he was excited, someone to play with!! He got a lot of corrections at this point, he wasn't listening. When he decided he was tired of the corrections we all walked home together. We hung out outside for a little (away from distractions) and all was good. After he had calmed down, the correction was set too high. So, I put it back down to one.

After that first day, I've only had to push the button once. It's only been three days, but it's remarkable. He goes in and out with me and listens like a hawk. If I say no, he stops immediately. I always give him a warning and say no a couple times before I push the button. Now, it only takes me saying no once to get a reaction. He gets excited to put the collar on, because he knows that means no leash.

I have been turning it off to save battery life. I can't imagine the batteries running out very fast if I don't push the button very often. This collar has made our new piece of land 100 times better, because now our buddy Charlie can enjoy it with us, with little hassle.

We are very pleased with the results; we used the lowest setting to begin with and is now in the mid-range after using it for a month. This collar is on a German Shepherd with thick hair around her neck. We are happy and our dog doesn't mind it a bit when it is on and most of the time now when we put it on, we never have to use the "control to zap".
