Dogtra Element 1/2 Mile Training Collar

We purchased this unit over a year ago for a young beagle-mix rescue that was generally well behaved, but would occasionally bolt after wildlife and escape our 1-acre fenced yard. Buried wire fence is not an option, and we tried the "broadcast" devices that transmit in a radius with a collar receiver, but they did not work at all with our topography.

Our dog wore the collar for about a month. She was trained after about 3 days, but we couldn't believe it, so we put it on during the day "just in case." Following the clear instructions and videos available online, we walked the fenceline with her, only using the "vibrate" and gentle "nick" function whenever she would touch the fence. No kidding-after maybe 5 or 6 sessions of that training she would not approach the fence. She was just as bold, happy, and energetic, tearing toward the fence but stopping short.

She has not worn the collar for over 9 months now. She is perfectly behaved, well-adjusted, and (frankly) alive because of this trainer. The unit is also very well built, and the rechargeable battery is great. Plan on leaving the collar on the charger overnight, but we never ran out of juice.

Like most people, I felt spending $200 on an e-collar was a bit much, however I bit the bullet well over 8 years ago and I must say I'm super pleased with my investment. At the time I had a 6 month old, high energy weimaraner. I wanted to be able to train him off leash without worrying about him running away or having to use a long rope. This collar fit the bill perfectly. I would guess that this collar received daily use for the first 6 years and at least 3 times a week after that. In an 8 year period, I only had to replace the battery once, which was effortless (contacted Dogtra and they mailed one out). Possibly I was one of the fortunate ones to receive such a great model, but this one was worth every penny. I finally had to retire the collar due to an unrepairable button, however feel I got my money's worth. I'm hoping this next one I ordered will last just as long and endure as much use.

We've been very pleased with the quality of this remote trainer. It's very simple to use and effective. We plug it in at night to charge and in the morning it's ready to go and quick to get on the animal. The gentle stimulus was just what we needed to reinforce verbal commands with our farm dog, and we saw concrete results in just a few days. Now we can do the chores and he walks calmly by our side no more jumping up on fences, chasing chickens or scaring the goats! Well worth the money!

We were running out of options to train our large and very disobedient dog to stop jumping up on people. We worked with a trainer to learn how to use the collar and have used it very effectively to train our pup to be more of a gentleman. It has good range, seems durable (the collar has survived our rough & tumble dog and the remote has survived our uncoordinated cases of the dropsies) and is easy to operate though I would definitely recommend working with a trainer to learn to use it so you're using it correctly and humanely. Our dog is a bit of a brute but responds well to the low-ish levels and will return to us using just the vibrate feature. I just wish it held a charge for longer (about 2 days for us).

My husband and I decided to purchase this for our 8 month old German Shepherd. We have a dog trainer that has been great at teaching her basic commands, however, there were certain things that she just wouldn't listen to when the dog trainer was not around. The trainer recommended this particular collar. We debated for a long while if we wanted to spend so much money, but finally decided to go ahead and buy it. So glad we did, this is such an AMAZING product and TOTALLY WORTH EVERY PENNY. We wish we would have done this a couple months ago when we started feeling so overwhelmed and frustrated! Our dog within the hour started listening to our commands without hesitation. We were having issues with her chasing our two cats, jumping on us all the time, and constantly mouthing us. I finally feel like we own the dog I always wanted. I am so grateful for this collar!
