Side by Side Comparison of: Aetertek vs Generic

For about a year I've used one of the collars that triggers when the dog barks. It worked for a while but after a couple of months the dog figured out that she could bark, get shocked, then have 15 seconds of non-stop barking before it would shock again. So it didn't really deter the barking after she'd worn it a while.I've had this collar for about a week now and seems to work great. Since this one allows me to press the button, without a 15 second delay, she stops barking after about the second time of hitting the button. I know it's only been a week but I think this one will work much better. The only downside is that it's not stopping her when I'm not home. But hopefully after a while she'll know barking=possible shock and it will stop her when I'm not there too. It seems to have pretty good range as I'm inside my house and she's out in the yard and can be up to about 100 yards away from me and it's picking up the signal.

Would highly recommend this product. It takes a full three hrs for collar to charge but last a few days before another charge. The remote has beep, vibrate and shock buttons. My dog that I bought it for I a completely different dog after using it. It comes with a great case and a great booklet to read through. It's WATERPROOF too! I don't submerge it on purpose but it's great to know when your dog let's himself into the pool when he wants!

My dog is a chow chow, Australian shepherd, Alaskan malamute, Irish setter mix, ( territorial, aggressive, possessive, and hunter tracking abilities) basically he is a little warrior and i needed this collar to establish a dominant role with him, as soon as i beeped him the first time he looked at me and knew it was me communicating with him, since i made my verbal command at the same time. he usually would tune me out but since i can have impact on him even if he is far away with an audible, and physical touch its made a big difference. I definitely progress up, beeps being a warning, then if he doesnt respond i go to vibrate, and then shock if its a severe situation and he is not listening. So he has learned to listen to the beeps cause then heed other progressively worse consequence.I give this product 5 stars because it has allowed me to bridge the gap in connection with my dog, and allowing me to have the ability to communicate with him and even interfere with his instincts.... I originally got this because my dog was starting fights with other dogs, being protective over me or something he thinks he has claimed. . . silly dog stuff.... now i am able to beep, him when he is approaching a dog and showing signs of aggression. If he doesnt listen i vibrate him, this usually does the trick and he learns to avoid the dog that is triggering his bad behavior. He is also a tracker and a hunter, he loves hunting foxes and we go hiking all the time and to local park where there are native foxes, sometimes if he takes off or gets too close to one, (im just not sure what would happen, mostly concerned about the fox hurting my dog) i beep him, then progressively vibrate or even pulse him with the shock option and he usually will stop or come back. It works great for these things and i feel i am finally not stressed about my dog, i feel like i have control over him and he listens much better than ever. He is also about two so he is getting to that stage where all he has learned is integrating into his puppy behaviors.Although i have had nothing but an amazing experience, there is one complaint about this product.... If you don't beep, vibrate or shock within a few minutes, the receiver(collar) goes into a sleep mode. And then in moments where i am not fully watching he may begin a fight with another dog and then i turn around to see whats happening and press the shock button to get him to stop, and then it takes about 5 seconds for the receiver to awaken, so that five seconds while Obi (my dog) is engaged in battle, the collar is doing nothing even though i am pressing the button, of coarse as soon as the 5 second delay is up then he stops because he will feel the shock and then he learns his lesson and begins to avoid that dog again... either way that is a super bummer about the product. This incident has only happened once since i have had the collar we mostly just avoid his triggers, but its nearly impossible to always focus one hundred percent on your dog if you engage in conversation with another dog owner or something.one other complaint is that when Obi plays with his BFF they wrestle hard and sometimes his friend does a collar biting thing, and usually i take the collar off at this point, but in situations where we are somewhere that he must wear the collar i keep it on. Harvey (obis friend) somehow got his collar loose and the prongs were not touching him anymore and the belt buckle thing was coming un done, this is not cool because who wants to lose the collar, or in this case i was shocking him because he was running after a fox, luckily he is just a really smart dog and i think since i have gotten the collar he definitelky listens more intently to me. . . . but he stopped and came back , then i realized about the collar being loose and that he couldn't feel the shock or the vibrate, , ,other than that this collar is a life saver and u wouldn't give it anything other than 5 stars since those things aren't that big of a deal once you figure out how to work with them.

Got it today and charged it up. Easy to follow directions and dog draining videos told me to set it on 1 and go up from there to find the lowest level of stimulation needed to get my dog's attention. I gotta be honest, this dog is big, dumb, stubborn and may actually be a mentally deficient hellhound so I was expecting to have to take it to the max since no amount of bad dogging him as worked. Level 1 has him chasing his own tail thinking it somehow bit him on the neck. I think his days of trash can foraging, chasing the cat, eating drywall and mowing down my children and guests with his giant feet are behind him. I'll bet in a week I'll only need the vibration or beep function! I can't wait to teach him how to walk on leash without obsessive pulling! For anyone thinking of going this route with a stubborn pup- watch training videos and have a plan to use this as a method of negative reinforcement when positive reinforcement alone doesn't yield results. I think in no time at all I won't even need the collar! :)

I think this is the one. Sound, vibrate, and shock. I used the sound and vibrate first and it works well. Went for a walk and he took off after a neighbor so I used the shock and he stopped in his tracks and came running to me. On the way home I would use the sound to make him respond to my commands and seems to work well.

After obedience classes and home training were not enough to deter certain bad habits in our dog, I researched online multiple training collars looking for help. I like that this one had a tone, vibration and a shock option. After reading the other reviews on this product I decided to give it a shot.We have been using the collar on our 1 year old pit bull mix for just over a week. I cannot believe the difference!!! Her nickname was Demon before the collar.First I want to say that I did try the different settings on my hand before putting it on the dog. I want to train her, but not be cruel about it. The shock (on levels 1 and 2) is extremely mild. I have had more of a shock testing a 9-volt battery. For our dog, this was all that was necessary. Just enough to distract her.The first day she had it on, we went through the progression of options on level 1. When she would begin the bad behavior she got the beep. If she continued, the vibrate, and finally if she still persisted, the shock. In a week's time I have only got as high as the shock twice, and that was the first day. She now responds very well to just the tone. She is a changed dog!!We continue to use the collar as there are multiple issues being addressed, but I would have never believed such a large change could come about in such a short period of time.The first issue we addressed was her digging up frozen poop and eating it (later throwing up because of this). After the first day with two shocks and the following day with just a beep, I have not seen her do this again. She takes care of her business, sometimes runs around playing, but then comes right in.Since she was already familiar with the progression of the collar from the first issue, she grasped very quickly when it came to things like jumping on visitors, or chasing our cats. I highly recommend this to anyone who feels like they are just not getting through.The charge on the collar lasts about three days. I take it off of her at night and on the third night, put it on the charger. The only downfall I have found is the charger itself which I believe is a standard European charger. It does come with an adapter for US plugs, but the adapter pops off if bumped. Our solution was to plug the charger in behind something where it couldn't be accidentally knocked loose. The remote does have a sleep mode if it hasn't been used in awhile. If you go to use it the first time, the collar indicator will light up, but nothing happens. Hit the beep again and you can hear it works.It map be in the directions somewhere, but when you go to put the battery in to the remote, you remove the door by just popping it off. Once you put the battery in, you need to unscrew the screw at the top of the compartment to use to close the compartment door securely. It took a few minutes to figure this part out. Could be just me.To sum it up. Great collar! I highly recommend this. This has saved one dog from possible re-homing.

So far this is doing great charging my dogs collar. Nice bonus it charges the remote and collar at the same time so every three days we charge them both at night. I did not even notice at first it was a double prong so it was a really nice bonus for me and is so convienent. Would recommend and for the price it doesn't break the bank!

Worked perfect.

Works perfectly as a replacement!

Works great. My old one was not communicating very good. was 3 yrs old with a broken case where antenna mounted, glued it back and still worked great but the second time it came loose i think i might have gotten glue inside. So ordered a new one. Back to 100% This whole system is a great training system.

Have had my 2-dog system for 2 years now and it has worked great with no issues. One of the collars with receiver got lost so I needed to replace it. Accidentally ordered the wrong receiver but after contacting the seller they let me exchange it for the right part. Receiver is an exact match to the old one and works perfectly. So pleased to know I can get spare parts from the company here at Amazon, which is where I purchased the original system. Highly recommend Aetertek training system for my 2 stubborn English Bulldogs.

original remote became inactive, the dial was stuck. ordered a replacement.

We have a 109 LBS Doberman that wouldn't stop running away. His attitude changed completely within the first day of using this remote.It claims a 600 yard range but we've found it effective at 250 max.The shock power is enough to completely stop him in his tracks if need be, though we don't like to ever shock him at this level. He is not aggressive. We use it at level 4 and it is sufficient for his short hair.Charging and pairing work flawlessly.My only regret is not buying this product sooner. A big thanks to the inventor of the product!

I am so incredibly happy I decided to purchase this training system! I have never given up on an animal but was about to give ours away. We adopted a shelter puppy at 8 weeks old in the hopes that he wouldn't have any bad habbits since we have two young children. Unfortunately, this dog grew way faster and stronger than anticipated. He is also the most stubborn, strong-willed animal I have ever known. He is very food-motivated but if you didn't have treats he wouldn't listen at all. From 3 months to date, at 5 months old, he would jump up on and bite our children, tearing their clothes and leaving marks, and when I would go to make him stop, he would bare his teeth at me and growl. I was concerned for my children's safety, and for my own in the future, as he is supposed to be about 80 pounds when full grown. *Side note- I'm in no way saying this would be appropriate for a dangerous animal, but for our out-of-control puppy it works.After exhausting positive training books and videos, I finally gave in and purchased this collar. We made sure to use the sound first, then if that didn't work, the vibration. After he got over the "What in the world just happened?" look, he learned very quickly the consequences. The vibration is sufficient to stop him in his tracks on the #1 setting and I have only used the shock setting once when he was off-leash and would not come when called. I can't imagine needing to use a higher setting.I have never reviewed a product online but am so impressed with how quickly we got results with our dog that I had to. He is now the dog we were hoping for in the first place. He is calmer, isn't biting and listens like a champ. He stays in his bed while we are eating dinner and even let my little one put pig tails in his hair when I wasn't looking! I haven't tested the waterproof aspect yet. I would have given 5 stars if the transmitter was a little sturdier.

Purchased this for our rescue lab, approximately 2 yrs old, with a very thick, waterproof coat. He is like an ADHD 2yr old, and while he knows basic commands, his behavior off leash needs work (off leash he has had no recall when asked to come).On our two trips so far to a 48-acre dog park since receiving the collar, we noticed that he started paying more attention to us. When he'd start to wander off and ignore our verbal calls, he would first get the beep, then the vibrate, and then the shock on the lowest settings. We've only needed to bump up it up to level 2 once . As he wandered, we'd call and he'd get the signal(s) at the same time - and finallly he'd turn and look. Soon he started looking on his own just to know where we were, which was the desired response. Once we had his attention, his recall was good since his attention was on us.He's gone swimming with the collar at the park twice, so the waterproof portion has held up.Reminders:- REMOVE any other collar your dog to avoid the possiblity of their metal components coming into contact with the prongs on the training collar. Training collars are for supervised use only - NEVER leave them on your dog if you are not there. Use them while training, and then remove the collar when you are through.- the collar should fit snugly to your dog's throat, with the prongs in constant contact with his skin. (This may seem tighter than a normal collar to some, but its necessary for proper contact.) If you have a long-haired or extremely thick-coated dog, you should use the longer prongs to ensure contact.Pros:- buttons are easily identified- separate buttons for each type of correction makes it easy to avoid mistakes- changing shock level is simple (0-7 dial)- collar is easily adjustable to most sizes (trim for smaller dogs)- prongs suitable for shorter and longer coats included- remote supports up to three dog/collar combinations (additional collars require separate purchase)- remote is comfortable and easy to use for both left and right handers (I'm a righty, my husband is a lefty)Cons:- the 9V battery shipped with the remote is cheap, almost no life. Just have a good quality 9V ready to use from the start (suggest a rechargeable 9V)Wish List:- the remote should be rechargeable with the same power cord as the collar. Why they didn't do this is a mystery. Taking one star off for this, otherwise I'd give it five.- remote comes with a neck strap, but a clip attachment is preferable for some (I like neck strap, husband would prefer clip)- the shock button has a small red icon on a black button, which is difficult to see in low light condtions. Changing the button color to red with black would make it more visible, and even less prone to accidental pressing when a lower level correction is actually desired.Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase in regards to the price, functionality, and durability so far.

I was literally on the verge of murdering my dog, not really, but he was driving me insane. I have an 11 year old white german shepard and decided to get a puppy, I think this puppies dad is satan. He wont stop biting, jumping, chasing the cats so I was at my wits end. I never thought I would ever get one of these collars but decided I needed to do something. I received it, and put it on him, he started to not listen and I told him no a few times then I pressed the vibrate mode and he stopped what he was doing and ran back to me. I wont use the shock on him I tried it on myself and it stung so the vibrate is what I will use. So far so good. Today he will have it on once I get out of work until I go to bed.

I am a certified police K-9 trainer, I was introduced to this product by a person I met at my kids soccer game. I bought it as an alternative to offer some of my customers who don't want to pay the hefty price of a higher end unit. I tested it out for the last month and I am surprised by the performance. I have used this unit on everything from my high drive protection dogs, down to service animals and so far its fine. For the price you are getting a lot of higher end features such as multi dog control, audible correction, vibrate with audible tone correction, and static correction with 7 levels. I tried all of the settings on myself to see what type of output it has, and its on par with my more expensive units. I would not recommend static correction above setting 3 for most breeds of dogs, I strongly recommend you try all the settings on yourself to get a feel for how the unit functions and avoid the thought that more static correction is the answer. In most cases, you should only have to use static correction two or three times at the most, followed with the audible or the vibrate with audible. The range is not as advertised, I could get a little over 100 yards line of sight. I like the waterproof feature, good strong collar, I would recommend.

I'm very happy with this purchase. I have a 6 month old Newfoundland that is about 70 pounds with thick fur. Generally she is well behaved, but she has issues with chasing the cat and sometimes running over the kids in excitement. When I try to catch her to tell her "No" she gets even more excited thinking I'm playing a game so I needed a way to stop her without running after her. This fit the bill perfectly.On shock strength:On setting 4 it is just strong enough to break her concentration and confuse her. It obviously doesn't cause her any pain because she doesn't look the least bit hurt - she just starts sniffing around her fur trying to figure out what happened. Usually that is enough to get her to quit running after whatever she is chasing when combined with me yelling no. If she really is being bad and intentionally ignoring me then one or two presses of level 5 combined with a strong no from me will usually get her to stop and come back and sit by my side. I haven't gone above level 5 yet and I don't think I'll have to. Settings 1-3 have absolutely no affect on her, but I think this is mainly because her fur is very thick - google images of Newfoundland dogs to get an idea of what I'm talking about. On smaller or shorter coat dogs lower settings might be effective.On initial setup:It takes about 3 hours to charge up once you plug it in. The directions say that when it is charging a red light will be on and then when fully charged the red light will turn off and a blue light will come on. For my collar the red light came on and then when it was fully charged a blue light also came on but the initial red light never went off. I left it on the charger an extra couple of hours and the red light was still on so I think this is just a mistake in the directions. Supposedly you can use a single controller for three collars but I only have one dog so I can't test that. You can switch between collars with a single button push, so it looks like that feature would be easy to use. One additional note: This collar has to be worn a bit more tightly than my dog's normal non-shock collar in order for it to be effective. If it isn't on fairly tight then the electrodes don't press through her fur and the shock feature doesn't work at all. I wouldn't want to leave this on the dog all the time for that reason (the directions say not to leave it on the dog permanently anyway) I switch our dog into her regular collar at night and then put this back on in the morning. Again this may only be an issue because of her thick fur.On quality:When deciding which collar to buy I read several reviews on this product complaining that it was made of plastic. I'm really not sure why that is an issue. Yes, it is made of plastic - but it is good quality plastic. All of the screws line up well, the plastic parts are well molded, and it feels solid in my hand. The collar is also perfectly suitable. A large angry mastiff on a chain might be able to rip it off, but if you are trying to stop a large angry mastiff with a shock collar you are probably just going to make it more angry anyway. For normal use, where you aren't trying to chain up your dog with this collar, I can't imagine it ever failing.On range:I haven't had a lot of opportunity to test the limits of this collar's range. My dog is an indoor dog so it never gets extremely far away. It has worked from two rooms away though (open floor plan - I could still see the dog), so walls and furniture don't seem to be a problem. I can vouch for at least 100 feet with no problems. I haven't tested farther than that.Why only four stars?There is one thing I really wish were different about this product. The controller doesn't have a belt clip. So basically you have to carry it around in your hand everywhere you go. It does come with a long string if you want to wear it as a necklace, but that looks stupid and is extremely irritating so I'm not sure why they even made that an option. You can put it in your pocket I guess, but then you risk accidentally sitting on the shock button - not something I'm willing to risk. If you forget to carry it around with you at all times then you end up with a situation where the dog is chasing the cat and the controller is nowhere to be found. If they stuck a belt clip on this thing I would gladly give it five stars.

Have had the old 216-c version for my 100lb stubborn pit for years now and works perfectly. When we got our second big boy I ordered another collar but got the upgraded version I guess so I ordered a new remote to go with and now can't find a charger to work on the upgraded receiver which is now a 216-D I guess. Please help me get this collar going right. Tell me what I need cause I've ordered everything else so far and still no luck.???

works well. I had to wait longer than I wanted... but the product works well

THEY DO NOT FIT ANY OF MY PRODUCTS BUT I WILL KEEP THEM

The collar worked great for a couple of months and then the shock feature stopped working. I think we only shocked the dog 4 times and she got the message. The beeping feature was great for warning the dog and she responded well to that feature. Once our hard headed dog figured out that both features were out of commission she was back to being out of control. Great dog inside the house but if she can go for a run she will.

UPDATE: While reading the troubleshooting I noticed it said that similar behavior can happen if the level is set to zero. Mine was close, so I rotated the dial past 1 then back to one. This appears to have solved the problem.After only about 3 uses, the collar won't sync with the remote. Waited to ensure it charged fully. I turn it on. It syncs with remote. I press beep button. The collar beeps, then shuts off! Worthless!

It has definitely helped my dog become obedient. I think now it's come to the point where by just looking at the control he understands and just decides on his own to listen. The only reason I give the product three starts is because the control it's self takes up to three clicks till is starts working. Sometimes one click will do it and that I understand to maybe start up the control again but three clicks? That gets frustrating because by the times it does eventually beep (or vibrate or shock, whichever one I'm trying to use) a lot of times it's already too late and he doesn't even know what I shocked him for. I do like that there are two warning signals before you have to get to the actual shock and I especially like that there are levels of shocks 1-7, my dog has a high tolerance for pain and in rare occasions I need to take it to level 5 but I'm glad it's an option for whenever I may need it.

I bought this collar to train my beagle mix who had a problem with on leash aggression. The good news is that it worked and she is now a friendly well trained dog. Having the option of sound, vibration and shock was very nice and I only had to use the shock one time as the vibration mode did the trick.What I don't like about this collar is the collar itself. It is very bulky and you have to adjust where the box slides into one of the holes on the collar every time you put it on the dog. The second thing I dont like about this system is the hand held controller. It has a very large antenna and no belt clip. It does have a neck strap but who wants to walk around with something so large hanging from their neck?In comparison on a previous dog I used a petsafe collar. The collar was nylon and the box came attached to it which was very nice. The controller had a belt clip and was small. This collar offered a sound and ten levels of shock. It was not waterproof. I would have gone with that same model had it been available but as it was not I chose the lesser expensive Aeterek and I somewhat regret that decision.

I bought this to assist me in providing corrections for my 55lb pitbull terrier mix. I have been using it to deter her from getting in the trash, running out of open doors, and from attempting to harass and dominate other dogs at the dog park.It seems to be good quality construction, not too flimsy and cheap feeling. The included collar is sturdy, but very large. It is designed so that you can size it to your dog and cut the excess.Good: Even with her fairly high tolerance for pain, she responds easily to a level 2 and 3 in most situations. The controller is responsive and easy to use. It is very easy to pair the collar with the controller after unplugging it from the charger. The other features, in tone and vibrate are ok. The tone is sudden enough to break her focus and get her attention back on my commands. She completely ignores the vibration. I like that it's rechargeable, the range is good (can't verify 400 yards, but still good), and it is powerful enough to be useful. It's also neat that they include a testing device so you don't have to verify that it is working on your hand. It's easier for me to just shock myself, but I guess some people wouldn't like that.Bad: The case is kinda goofy, but no harm done. My biggest gripe is with the controller and it's total lack of a clip. I don't like to have to carry it in my hand and I'm not going to put it around my neck. That's goofy. I really don't like that there's no way to clip it to my pocket or belt. Also, there isn't an off switch for the controller or collar. After a period of not using it, it shuts off. The 9v battery was very difficult to install in the controller, but the cover is secured by a screw, which I consider a benefit.Overall, I would purchase again. It allows making corrections at a distance possible where before she would've been able to just keep doing what she wants.(If you can't handle putting it on your own hand and hitting the shock button on level 7, you better not be using this on your dog. This collar is NOT magic and requires dedicated, responsible training. Be smart.)

Just got the device seems to work well. The pooch is no longer going on relentless barking fits when she isn't getting attention in her kennel. In just a couple days she understands what a beep warning means. I have a few issues with this device construction. The remote is simply laid out as it is, has no on/off switch so after a while of not being used it turns off. Minor annoyance of having to make sure I have some 9 volts on hand. Another reviewer stated that the battery wouldn't fit inside the remote, this is somewhat true. You really have to Jam it in. The screw that holds down cover for the battery came stripped so now I have to put a piece of tape across the back. All in all a good product but the little issues have become an annoyance to me. I would recommend this product to another person but inform them of the flaws it has.

Fit my phones free speaker

Arrived promptly but with no instructions of how to program. Tried to go buy a collar to also replace my old one but none fit so far so I can't eve use.

Didn't last long. It hasn't been abused, but quit sending the signal within a month.

This product does not last. I purchased my second trainer from this company in Sept 2015. It stopped working in December and I can not get a replacement. It only had a 30 day warranty according to Amazon. The first trainer lasted for over 1 year. I am very disappointed. This kind of trainer works very well with my Shepard/Chow mix dog, but reliability stinks and you would think the company would replace the item being that it was only a couple of months old.

I am not thrilled with this. It so not doing the trick for my 6 month old lab. Quite disappointed I have to spend more $ to buy a better shock collar. I read reviews before purchasing this and have a friend that owns one so I was hoping it would work. Not strong enough.

I would say this works to an extent. When training though, you need consistency. The beep is sometimes delayed and sometimes beeps twice when you only hit it once. For my Doberman, the shock doesn't stop him even at level 7 (which is the highest). It may get his attention part of the time but he ignores it most of the time. Granted he is hard headed but I was expecting the shock to affect him.

I followed all the instructions and placed it on my very large Great Pyrenees puppy (about 6 months old) and the only stimulus she noticed was the vibration. I set the shock at 3, 4, 5 ,6, and 7 and she did not even flinch. I put my fingers on it at the 7 (strongest) setting and felt a slight tingle. She continued to demonstrate the bad habits that I am trying to correct with the use of the collar. I personally feel this collar is a waste of money. I would not recommend this to anyone wanting to train a large dog.

I liked not having to cycle through different modes. Separate buttons are a necessity. Unfortunately, the transmitter never went into "sleep" mode and drained a 9v battery in a few hours. This was a pain, but acceptable to me so I just disconnected the battery when not in use. However, after the third day, the transmitter would no longer pair with the receiver. I did everything I could to get them to pair, but it simply won't do it. (I'm comms in the USAF so I know how this stuff works...tried everything). Anyways, I'll be sending the unit back and buying a different product.

I might have liked it...if it was compatible with my collar. The ports are too small. My Dog training collar is Aetertek, but this did not fit. Costs over have the price to send it back, so why bother. :-(

Only works when battery is first inserted. Will not awaken after it falls asleep. Even with brand new battery it will die.

Useless. It sparks out of nowhere when you are not even pressing the button, it has not once sparked or shocked the dog, (I have a GSD) when I tried to shock the dog. It attacked another dog without even carrying for the collar,since the piece of equipment did not worked. It vibrates all right but that's about it.

I'm not sure what went wrong with this unit, but it wouldn't stop electrocuting my dog. Just try to take one off a dog when this happens. As for the remote, it feels like those old kids Radio Shack walkie talkies. Very brittle plastic that would probably break if it was ever dropped.I'm afraid my dog will never be the same after this. It's basically a torture device when you lose control of it.

If I could give it zero stars I would. At first this collar worked great for my 80lb lab....then it just works when it wants to...it also states that this is waterproof....IT IS NOT. the reason I bought it was for that, because our lab likes to swim in the lake....one swim....and this thing was totally fried! Won't power on or anything. I'd def save your money.....it's garbage.

Only lasts about 24 hours or less on a single full day charge. So I can't use it all that often. The remote has a horrible delay as if the the controller fallss asleep and you have to wake it up. I would suggest buying something else.

The receiver turns off. I found myself trying to fumble with turning it back on and, by the time I got it turned on, the dog's behavior had changed. At that point there was no point "correcting" him because he would have thought he was being reprimanded for something unrelated to the problem. The only way I could get it to work was to hold the receiver in my hand and push the button to beep when the dog was misbehaving.

the collar has good ratings but there is alot wrong with it! the battery is hard to install, when you press the 'on' button on the collar, it vibrates and Shocks, high level! the Lowest setting stim made my dog yipe and leap into the air. Best of all, it Randomly Zapped my dog! when the collar was turned was off!!RETURNING!!!!!!! I'll pay more for a better quality product.
