Gentle Leader Quick Release Black Medium 25-60 Lbs.

We have a Border Collie and the Gentle Leader stopped his pulling. My only problem with the Gentle Leader is the figure 8 shaped clasp breaks after about 6 months. We have bought two Gentle Leaders because of this defect.

Easy Walk Harness - Small, Raspberry Pink

I have a 60 lb American staffordshire pit mix that I could not walk to safe my life. But when I put the easy walk harness on him, 1. It was easy to get on and 2. He didn't pull me at all! With the leash hook being in the front it makes him walk right beside me instead of way in front pulling me. Walking is a breeze now! I highly recommend it.

This harness is great. I have two small dogs that like to try and ate the lead on walks. This harness prevents them from doing that and since the clasp is in the front there is no strain on their tiny necks and backs.

I graduated my dog from the head harness to this one that connects at the chest. I was worried about her going back to her old pulling ways, but she has taken to it nicely and walks as well with this as she did with the harness that went over her nose. They offer great colors and it's easy to put on and take off.

The collar arrived ahead of schedule, in new condition, and fully functioning. The collar fit my dog perfectly after some minor adjustments, and the color didn't run when we got caught in the rain. I couldn't be happier with it.

Herm Sprenger Pinch Dog Collar with Quick Release Snap, 16-Inch, Medium

This collar is a great product for dogs that are too headstrong to listen. My trainer recommended this brand over all others because Herm Sprenger has rounded tips on the prongs instead of cut metal, so there's no cuts from using it.

I will recommend anyone using this collar learn how to use it properly (it's for quick corrections, not constant pulling), and note that this isn't recommended for extremely aggressive or shy dogs (their instincts overpower their pain response and can harm the dog), but for walking, running and training with a normal dog, there's no better collar to help get the behavior you want out of your dog.

Our wonderful shelter dog, Serena, is a chou lab mix and she is strong. Walking her was a challenge. I have tried many kinds of collars and harnesses to make life easier. Some worked fairly well but were a challenge to put on. Others pulled off just when I needed them most. But, once I learned the simple tricks of how to put it on this collar solved the problems.

I no longer dread trying to get the collar on her in her jumping enthusiasm.

After much reading & research and talking with dog trainers, I did purchase this collar. When used correctly it will not harm your dog. If you have a large animal who will "bolt" without warning, this can certainly be a learning tool. Never to be used as a tie out-great for correcting "unsafe" behaviors that can harm pet or owner.

PetSafe Deluxe Little-Dog Remote Trainer for Pets Under 40 Pounds, PDLDT-305

We bought this for our Rat Terrier. He's very smart and was learning all his basic commands but not "Come". When he got lose he refused to come when you called him. I worried about his safety. With the kids in and out of the house all summer, something needed to be done. As a animal lover I was really torn about the idea of a "shock" collar. What sold me was that this one could be set low and could also be used with a "beep". It only took him three times before he got it. The first time he left the yard I called him, he did the typical "Ha-yeah right", and took off! I gave him the command "Come Cosmo!" and then zapped him. He did yelp, I won't lie:-( He stopped and started to take off again, I repeated. He came running to me. I praised him and gave him treats. Next time I "beeped" him first with the command, followed by a second beep (still didn't come) then a zap, then he came...more praise. Last time I just "beeped" him and he came instantly!!. Now he wears it and we don't even have it turned on! It comes with a book on training for other bad habits like chasing cars, trash raiding, and digging. Along with basic training. It was worth the money. He got out the other day without the collar on, I panicked but opened the front door and called him. He came running to the door!! Also we have neighbors walk their dogs by our house, we just tell him to "sit" and "stay". They just walk right by without any trouble. Perfect! In less then a week he was trained. We could have spent a couple hundred dollars and a month or more on classes for basic training. All of which we didn't have the time or money for. This was easy and worth it!

I have owned dogs and been with dogs since birth. The majority of these wonderful animals have been pets, but I have also spent years working with hunting dogs; raising, training and working with. Until recently I have always been rather smug, and must admit to having done a bit of bragging that I have never had a dog or known a dog that I could not train. Now of the literally hundreds of animals I have been in contact with and worked with over the years this has been true. In addition I can truthfully say I have never hit a dog, lost my temper with a dog, and other than firm voice command and gentle authoritarian use of a leash, used any other training aid. I had very mixed emotions and must admit to have had strong reservations in using such a device as being reviewed here. I have had friend who have had excellent results with their hunting animals with the use of "shock collars," and swear by them, but still and all.....

Well enter Ivan (as in Ivan the Terrible) who is a small terrier who may be 13 pounds soaking wet, although I am convinced he thinks he is the size of a timber wolf. Ivan is about one year old and was "dumped" at our place and was in horrid condition when he came to our door. Being the stern fellow I am, and already in possession of three house dogs, I did the only thing I could do...yup, took the little fellow in. After several trips to the groomer, healthy diet, being checked out an neutered by the vet, given lots and lots of love, he is doing just great. That has been eight months ago.

Ivan is actually a very good little dog. It took two days to house train him, he is well mannered in the house, and is a perfect lap dog. He sleeps in my lap while I read and lies across the top of my head when I go to bed. He gets long with the other animals perfectly. Ivan though has a typical terrier attitude. i.e. a hard head. No method I tried could keep him from bolting from the door, giving a "you and the horse you road in on" look over his shoulder when called, and just keep on going. Now we live in the woods and about 200 yards from the road. Ivan was in great risk of being run over as he loved to chase cars, or being eaten by coyotes as he loved to chase the feral cats who inhabit the woods surrounding us. He would spend hours, day and night, in the pursuit of his feline "enemies." I spent many late nights tromping the bush trying to catch this little critter and bring him home. What to do? The cats are able to avoid (or sometimes not) the coyotes by climbing trees...Ivan does not posses that skill.

Well, as a last resort I ordered one of these wonderful PetSafe trainers for small dogs. I began by testing it on myself...several times, by fastening it to my arm and allowing my wife to zap me...using the high mode....I actually suspicion she enjoyed it...go figure. Anyway, I can promise you that the pain is not all that bad. It does instantly get your attention and is very uncomfortable, but the actual pain is not really all that bad.

Well we then put the devise on Ivan. To make a not so long story even shorter, this thing worked perfectly and it only took three days and about six zaps. Ivan no longer heads for the woods, has stopped chasing cars and stays within his five or more acre area. He comes instantly when called. I can truly say that this thing has probably saved him from being squashed or eaten.

The device is very easy to use. It has 10 settings, 10 being the most powerful. It has been through rain, ice and snow and keeps on working. It is easy to fasten it on the dog. The antenna is buried in the actual collar so there is little chance of it breaking. The batteries seem to have a very long life.

There are two modes on this collar. There is a "beep" button and there is a "zapper" button. It does, as advertised, reach for at least 100 yards. We found that by giving Ivan warning (two) with the beeper before we actually gave him the mild shock worked out quite well. He now instantly returns when he hears the beeping noise. Actually, at this point, he instantly responds and returns at a verbal command.

Some things to note:

Ivan is a bright dog and it did not take him long to associate the collar with the shock. After three times of being hit he behaved well but the first time we let him out without the device in place he headed for the tall timber....back on the collar went. We did this a few times and finally purchased a regular collar, a cheap collar, and when it is on Ivan thinks it is the "bad" collar and behaves perfectly. We are in the process of weaning him from the non-shock collar as I write this and all is working out quite well.

Second: I read at least one review here that stated the collar burned holes in their dogs' fur and skin. This is an absolute blatant untruth...there is no way this device is capable of doing such a thing. The people who wrote those reviews either left the collar on too long and the studs wore a hole in the fur of the dog, or they are misguided individuals trying to "save" the dogs from these "dreadful devices." Hey folks, better startle your dog a bit than have him killed. I am a bit surprised that Amazon has allowed these untruthful reviews to stand. These misguided "do-gooder" reviews could cost many pets their lives and the people who wrote them should be ashamed of their selves.

Third: Even if you get overly enthusiastic with your zapping, the device will automatically stop the shock after eight seconds. This is important when dealing with over zealous children using the device.

Forth: If there are buildings, large trees and shrubs and such in the way, the collar is less effective.

Fifth: the device on the collar should be turned off when the dog is in the house our training time is over as it will prolong the battery life. Also, the collar should not be left on the dog for over eight hours per instructions.

Sixth: These devices should never ever be used as a form of punishment for your pet; a pox on your house if you do so.

I could not be happier with a product than I am this one. It was with every penny I spent and it is much less expensive than many of these devices I have seen.

Now I have a grandson, 17 years old, who is having problems staying focused on his German lessons and British Literature assignments,...I wonder......????

We have a 2.5 year old jack russell mix who weighs 25 pounds. Some of the behavioral problems we have with her are whining for no reason, barking at every little thing that moves outside, jumping on people, and not understanding the boundaries of our yard. (We normally have her tied up if she is outside or take her on a leash, but sometimes it's nice to have her loose in the yard if she would stay there).

It took us a little bit to get used to the sensitivity (or lack thereof) of the buttons on the remote. You have to push them in all the way for them to do what they are supposed to; otherwise, the light on the remote may light up, but nothing happens. We maybe use the electric button twice a week. After the first time or two, she understood what the beep meant. Now, when she hears the beep, she immediately stops what she's doing 99% of the time. The other 1%, the beep will get followed by the electric button. Definitely read the directions; you do not need to hurt your dog to get a response. Our dog will actually freeze in confusion, which is how we now she felt the shock. She doesn't yelp or jump. Once she processes it, she comes out of her freeze mode and goes completely back to normal, but she stops whatever it was that she had been doing.We also find that it's helpful to combine a verbal command with the beep, such as "Stop." She's a little slower to catch on to it, but she's starting to understand that Stop and the beep are the same thing. Hopefully, in time, we will get to a point where the collar is no longer needed at all. The barking and whining have decreased significantly. We have been using the collar for 2-3 months, but we just started taking her out in the yard once in awhile without a leash last week. She is doing amazing! The neighbors have even commented on how well behaved she is getting. It took a few beeps and shocks, but she is doing great at not leaving the yard.

I think there are a couple of things to remember about the collar. First of all, it's not a replacement for good dog training or spending time working with your dog. It's a tool to aid in the training. By itself, it is not going to transform your dog...it will take time, work, and patience. Second, as I mentioned, you don't have to hurt your dog for it to get the message. I saw someone once who shocked their lab so badly, it squealed in pain...and the only thing the dog had done was approached another person in a very friendly manner. All that did was teach the dog to be afraid of approaching strange people. Level 6 on this collar is the lowest level our dog responds to, so we always have it at 6. Once in awhile, if the collar is situated oddly, she doesn't feel 6, so we will turn it up at the moment we are using it until she goes into freeze mode. Then, as soon as that instance is over, it goes back to 6. Use the lowest level you can to get a response.

I am only rating this a 4 because of the batteries they do die frequently as we often forget to turn the collar off when we leave, but we just replace them. It's a little costly after awhile, but we have found the benefits to outweight the monetary cost.

This collar worked well for our dog for several months, but then the wire antenna inside the collar broke off where it attaches to the receiver. We tried soldering it back on, but it broke again. It is just a bad design, not meant to last. it only works within about 10 feet without the antenna, and our dog figured this out.

We just bought one of the Innotek units after a friend highly recommended it no antenna to break, and is rechargeable.

This product was a god send. It arrived super fast. It has really worked fantastic. My dog is a full grown dog and boy is he stuborn. He only took less than a week before he started obeying commands (not too bad for a full grown hard headed dog huh). I would recommend getting this collar and espically from this shipper and seller. Because it was here so fast and in perfect condition.

Vibration Dog Remote Trainer, 300 Yard Multivet

Not only was the product very slow in reaching us, wrong color of collar plus no matter what we did, no vibration came forth! The little flash light works and a little tiny twerp sound works. But that is all that works. I am returning them. Our dogs thought the collars were just that, collars. I don't think they were disapointed the collars did not work!

I purchased this collar several times for a few clients who had Deaf dogs. This collar is perfect and cheaper than the alternatives as a way of getting your deaf dogs attention. We used the Low Vibe as a look at me. And the Higher Vibe as a COME. The flash light was also used to help the dog figure out which person was calling him. Worked perfect!

Only complaint is that it is a little bulky both in collar and in remote and the brown plastic could really be updated! :)

Other than that, this is a fantastic collar for training Deaf dogs!

This product was ok. it's not the best vibrating collar out there, but it does work. I would say that the vibration buzzes a little too long to be especially effective as a training tool. I was also disappointed that the collar came with electric shock, I thought it was only a vibration collar from the ad. I don't intend to ever use the shock and don't like the risk that I would shock my dog by accident.

Titan Snap-On Pinch Training Dog Collar

The sticky big latch is *not* unique to this manufacturer of an otherwise fine product. I feel guilty about docking the rating a star over an industry standard, but inherently sticky, latch.

I guess I can understand why someone would think a larger latch is easier to handle -particularly with gloves on. BUT, big latches jam quite easily.

I trotted down to my friendly neighborhood pet stores and checked out the latches on their pinch collars. All were this large size and and had the same tong like design. All were sticky to operate like this one.

I prefer the smaller plier like latch; but, it too is not without problems. In use the smaller latch can slip into the loop of the end pinch link. That opens the latch and the collar drops off much to the delight of a fast escaping mutt.

[BTW, the trick with the small latch is to fit the collar by removing links until you are just able to latch and unlatch it without punishing your dog. During the last 10 years and two large dogs I've never had a small latch open on a properly fitted collar.]

The longer larger latch may be less prone to releasing a poorly fitted collar with too many links in it. But a poorly fitted collar doesn't work as it should and ultimately does the dog and owner a disservice.

OK, enough ranting about latches.

The collar is well made with smooth prong tips and heavy chrome plating. Frankly, I can't see the difference between it and the name brand collars costing at least twice as much. And, it arrived in Washington DC promptly and well packed.

"Wasn't what I thought it would be, Steel, like the one I was replacing. My fault, I think, since I did not read product info carefully enough, I think. Now that I have opened it to feel material, I'm not sure I can return it. " April 6, 2013

Black Large Martingale Heavyduty Nylon Dog Collar

Just to let you know the product itself isn't bad at all, and seems quite durable in quality. ONLY THING!!!!! I purchased 3 of these for when we do mobile pet adoptions with the shelter I volunteer at. These collars run giant, the large is like a giant size that could fit a moose. Even a very large headed pit bull, it was too large to use on her. If I had known I would have gotten mediums!!!!! So far, of the 3 purchased, havn't yet been able to use the product because the large is really that big without any exaggeration. Perhaps the large would fit well on a St Bernard sized dog. So buyers beware and if you have anything less then a giant sized dog stick with the mediums!!!! It is a good product and a fair price. I went for the deal and got 3 because I thought we could use them, and as I said, have not found a dog that's head it could fit so far after several months!!!!! I doubt we will ever be able to use these unfortunatly do to sizeing.

I have a martingale collar for each of my huskies they can't back out or slip out of it, and it's loose when they're walking on a loose lead.
