Review on SportDOG Brand Contain Collar Ground by Melvin House

Pros: - Large perimeter zone possible (8-10 feet from cord) - Grounding plug for transmitter for added reliability - Rechargeable collars so no need to change every pair of specialty batteries - The charge on the collar seems to last at least a week on standby - Collars are more durable than others but are heavy (probably not suitable for dogs under 30lbs). Cons: - The trainer interacts with all collars at the same time, so it's not possible to fix just one dog if you have multiple dogs. - Comes with a cheap plastic collar. If you're paying $130 for a collar, you don't need to buy a snap collar separately. - Flags are useless on weed farms - Less than 12 inches tall - 20 gauge wire is thinly insulated and seems to break easily. I bought this device after trying a cheaper one that wouldn't register even if I stood directly over the line half the time and held the collar. This definitely provides a lot of potential frontier territory useful for training my dogs on the farm (20+ acres). On the plus side, this is a solid device that does what it's supposed to do. The downside is I probably should have just bought the transmitter and collar separately and saved on the bundle. The wire and flags will just disappear at this stage. I used T-stakes as boundary markers since they are visible over the growth in my pasture and I used heavy gauge 14 gauge wire so I don't have to search for breaks every few weeks. I just wish a company that seems to be pushing itself to a higher level stops, including making cheap collars that nobody (I know) likes.
