PetSpy P620 Dog Training Shock Collar for Dogs with Vibration, Electric Shock, Beep; Rechargeable and Waterproof Remote Trainer E-Collar - 10-140 lbs (Extra Collar)

6/7/18 Update: I changed my review back to five stars! The manufacturer emailed me about the problem and immediately sent a replacement collar for the one that was not working, along with some valuable advice. The collar is back on my dog and training is continuing. The training device is excellent. I use the vibrate button as a signal during training and sometimes the beep, and have only used the "shock" button a couple of times in emergency situations (after, of course, training my dog on what the signal means. There are lots of videos online on how to train with an e-collar and I highly recommend watching a couple before starting training). I have a young smart working dog who is always looking for a job to do. He has so much energy and drive I found it difficult to impossible to get his attention and focus before I started using the collar. The PetSpy training collar allows me to get Freddy's attention immediately and remotely. At that point, training is easy. But to be honest, I haven't done much training yet - I have mostly focused on getting his attention and getting control and a reliable recall. My dog has gone from totally out of control to a still energetic but fully under control dog 98% of the time. Friends and family have all remarked about the huge change in Freddy since I started using the collar. I have close to a 100% head snap when I call and a rapid recall from anywhere on my 2 acre property - even without using the remote and without being in sight. He has stopped digging up the property hunting for gophers and stops with a "no" on the few times he starts. What is interesting is Freddy is much calmer in general now that he knows what I want him to do - the consistent and quick signal from the e-collar allows him to relax because he knows I'm in charge, he doesn't have to be. Now I'm going to start formal and advanced training and it will be easy. Thanks to the training collar.Hold off on my review below. I am asking the manufacturer for a replacement under their 1 year warranty. I'll let you know the upshot.Thanks, SueThe collar worked great at first, although it didn't seem to have the range reported, However, it stopped working 7 months after I purchased it. All the lights seem to be working, showing the unit was charged and ready but it no longer produced a "tone" and neither the vibrate or shock function worked at all. At this point it is worthless. I am going to try to contact the manufacturer to see if they will fix it since it wasn't sold as a disposable item. I will let you know if they make good on their product. Very disappointed because it was a wonderful training tool while it worked!

This is the only review I have written a review on. I have a 90lb Euro doberman. This is the second time I have bought this item. The first one lasted over two years, until my dog got bored by himself and chewed it up, smiling all the time I'm sure.I ordered the second one last October. It worked well for two months. The return time had passed but there was a one year warranty on the product. I contacted PetSpy and told them the collar wouldn't hold a charge.They sent me instructions on how to reset the collar. I tried again to reset the collar to no avail. They sent me a new collar that arrived less than two weeks later.I really like the PetSpy P620 Dog Training Shock Collar. I rarely use the shock. only when my dog ignores me off leach, which Dobermans do. Mostly I don't use it at all. He minds very well. When I need to remind him a beep will do. I will also say as a point of interest, that he loves when I pick the collar up. He gets excited and dances around until I tell him to set. Then he pokes his head out to help get the collar on. He knows we are going some where!I have already bought this collar twice and will again when this one either quits or gets chewed on!

Only issue I have with it is that despite lack of use (worn just not needed) it seems to go down in juice kinda quickly. But it is easy to charge so eh. Otherwise it works great, charge is plenty strong just on vibrate. Would recommend.

This is the second unit that I bought. We have two Wire Fox Terriers that are very active and excitable. I have only used the "shock" feature once on each dog which is all it took for them to understand that it follows the beep or vibrate feature that the collar has. I have owned the Garmin e-collars but they were overly complicated and a hassle to use. These collars are very simply and straight forward to use. I highly recommend these collars. They also give me peace of mind so far knowing that my dogs respond as hoped to the collar's signals. - John

Replacement part, I cut the original lead too short, my bad. Great quality, durable, tough. I love the quality of this item. Definitely would buy again!

Perfect replacement collar fits perfect as well

I was looking for a good 2-collar system with a medium price range and this fit the bill.Firstly, the packaging instilled confidence- very well packed and I felt even as I opened the box that I was getting my moneys worth. The Li-Po batteries in the collars and transmitter have amazing staying power and last through at LEAST 4-5 hour-long walks- the transmitter battery indicator still read “full” after said walks. The range of the unit is vast and my dogs respond to the stimuli well beyond 200m through thick trees/brush- in the open, the range is much greater. The collars are very large (you trim them to length-if desired) and would fit the largest of dogs. Two sets of metal “electrodes” are included (short and long) and I found the long ones worked best on my Basset hounds due to their wrinkly skin. My dogs love their collars and get excited when I get them out.Offering 3 modes of stimuli (beep, vibrate, shock) my dogs learned immediately what “comes next” and it only took a couple shocks...90% of the time they now respond to the beep, the vibrate option is rarely even needed. Walks are now far more enjoyable for them AND me... they have more freedom and get more exercise off leash. I can’t describe how wonderful these have been for us.CONS: there are a couple, but not enough to lose a “star”. I wish the vibrate and shock intensity was adjustable separately. When you set the vibrate intensity (which just alters the duration- not strength) it also changes the shock strength. The belt clip on the transmitter could be stronger. It was hanging from my neck on the lanyard when it caught on my pocket when I bent down- the plastic clip bent and remained so making it effectively useless...a stronger clip would be welcomed. Lastly, a charging adapter with a 3rd plug would be handy (the charger has two connectors) so I could charge both collars AND the transmitter at once.This is my first e-collar but I will never own another dog without one. One day, if this unit is lost or fails, I will buy from PetSpy again. Quality, durability, and function. Amazing.

Would give 5 stars, unfortunately after a couple of uses I cannot use the remote without having to remain on charger. As soon as it is removed, you cannot use. Lucky for the amazing distance the collar can be reached. Tricky on a farm when you need more freedom and wireless use for remote. Other than that fast delivery and detailed instructions.

Batteries could last longer though
