Gaurdian Remote Trainer gdt11-12132

This was the second one of these that we got. Unfortunately, my dad set the remote down somewhere outside and it's been two years and we've yet to find it. We got a similar one to replace it, however, it never seemed to work as well. So we went and bought another one like this. Our dog is a Coonhound and she, by nature, likes to run and explore and my dad is 80 years old and she was a lot to handle on a leash when my dad would take her for a walk. Now, I don't recommend that most people walk their dogs off a leash. As a matter of fact, it may be illegal in some areas. However, my dad lives in a rural, country area with great neighbors and no traffic. This device allows my dad and the dog to get some daily exercise without my dad getting knocked over in the process. Once our dog, Maddie, caught a scent, she was off and no amount of calling or whistling would bring her back until a few hours later when she would come back on her own. We worried that she might get shot by a hunter or wander off too far. We put this collar on her and the first time we pushed the beep button, she came right back to our side. We've never had to use the stimulus (shock) function ever. Now when my dad takes Maddie for a walk she stays close and if she starts to wander just a press of a button brings her right back to his side. It's amazing. Now I won't say this will work for every dog just as well (for most it probably won't or it may take a bit of training), but for us, it was terrific from the get go and only got better. You do have to make sure you don't let the dog get too far, though, because if you're out of range, you're out of luck. After continued use, Maddie stays close mostly on her own now and, most of the time, just calling her will bring her back. We use the collar only as backup. You could also probably use this in conjunction with a leash, to teach the dog not to pull on the leash. The collar does go through batteries but we found some in bulk at a discount store and they're not that expensive. Incidentally, we got the first one at Walmart for $100 so Amazon's prices was great!

This item worked exactly as it is intended. I was happy with the results and my dog was very responsive to it. I have a 60 lb Pitbull and it was very easy for me to train him not to chase cats and use with various listening and training exercises. I was happy with this item.
