Review on GoodBoy Mini No Shock Remote Collar For Dogs - Beep & Vibration Modes, Waterproof, 1000 Feet Range - Pet Behaviour Training For Small To Medium Dogs (Blue) by Joe Taniguchi

We've used the GoodBoy collar for about a week and we're impressed with its design and functionality. If left on for long periods of time, we can see how the collar might become an irritant, but our dog wears it for the training period only, less than two hours, once a day. We haven't used the static shock function and have no intention of doing so.Some users seem to think the collar is hard to set up, but it's hard for us to imagine any difficulty. (As with all electronics it's a good idea to read the directions first.) In any event it took one of us about 20 minutes from opening the box to having it ready to go. You'll have to charge the collar and the remote overnight before using it.The collar unit has a simple power button that requires holding down for a second or so to turn on. The remote is easy to use, and has a power-conserving, intuitive design with safety features. It cycles off after just a few seconds, but any function key turns it on again - making it much harder to use by mistake.We have the advantage of an easily-trained dog; training her to come back to us and to avoid food trash while off-leash on the beach is almost complete after a few days. We anticipate occasional reminder sessions. Even with large, energetic dogs I would recommend giving the vibrator function a try, since it's possible that over-use of the static shock function could irritate the dog's skin.For the money and the time investment this has turned out to be a bargain. We strongly recommend the product.
