My small dogs (16 and 20 pounds) have accepted their Innotek collars and the system enables them to freely roam our property. The device itself is small and streamlined but I had to retrofit smaller straps on the receivers because both dogs looked like they were caught in a trap. :)
(I just checked Innotek's website and now people are complaining about a new flimsy collar-strap design that unbuckles easily--go figure). I have several old straps lying around if anyone wants to pay shipping.
It's time to shop for another collar--the latest lasted one year and two weeks. Come on Innotek, with today's battery technology and your exorbitant pricing; these batteries should last at least five years!I have this Innotek system for about a year. So far I have gone through 3 collars and now I need a forth. Fotunately, they are all under warranty but after a few months they simply quit working. Hopefully at sme point soon, the folks at innotek will solve the quality problems.
Buy Innotek UltraSmart Extra Collar Receiver for IUC-4100, IUC-4200, and IUC-5200 Systems Now
This collar breaks every every 2 months and THEY Won't stand behind their product. I use it very lightly. I never use it in the water or mud even though they say it can be used that way. To be honest I only use it when my dog's eating "junk" behavior acts up. It hasn't worked the last two times I have gone to use it. I then get charged $45 from them to replace the parts. I have been though TWO transmitters and TWO receivers. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I purchased the 5200 system for a hound that would keep digging out. The 5200 is nice as it has the remote and also beeps before it shocks. It works but the battery life between charges is terrible. Less than a week. I needed a new collar and bought this one. Unfortunately this collar is very cheaply made and nowhere near the quality of the original. Also, what it doesn't tell you is that this collar does not have the beep function. So if you are used to using the remote to gently persuade your dogs this one doesn't. The same with linking collars to "A" and "B" on the remote. Overall I think the innotek 5200 has been a disappointment and will look for other manufacturers when it's time for a new one.Want Innotek UltraSmart Extra Collar Receiver for IUC-4100, IUC-4200, and IUC-5200 Systems Discount?
We've used the Innotek system for 3 years over a 2 acre area. The original collars were of high quality but eventually wore out. The two new collars we purchased about 6 weeks ago-one already has a broken buckle and neither seem to offer a strong enough tone/shock. Disappointed. Innotek, please, return to producing better quality longer lasting colars.
