Review on GROOVYPETS Dog Remote Training Collar System: Rechargeable No Bark Collar and Remote Obedience Training Shock Collar Set (2 Collars) by Christine Rowe

Bought these collars for two large mixed breed dogs that weigh about 60 pounds each. We take care of dogs in a rural South American town where there are no fences and dogs are everywhere. Although dogs bark everywhere when someone comes by, OUR house had a terrible reputation because two large dogs barked wildly and chased into the woods any dog that came NEAR the house, even if it was a Chihuahua, by a dog at the leash guided. Child. The two dogs, along with a few neighborhood dogs, also met whenever a motorcycle drove by (which happens several times a day) and coordinated a motorcycle chase with the express intention of pushing the person off the motorcycle. They also hunt horses, riders, horses and chariots, which pass by relatively frequently. A rather dangerous thing, endangering the lives of people and dogs. They also barked at anything that moved throughout the night and kept us awake despite earplugs. Well, although it wasn't our dogs and this type of behavior is sort of "de rigeur" in the area, we couldn't stand it, let alone become sleep deprived, so we ordered this version for several reasons , including the fact that she has a two-dog option and they will be shipped to South America. Well, a week, and the house is a COMPLETELY different place. We have two quiet dogs that don't bark at night and let the kids run around freely with the chihuahuas. To my surprise, they no longer chase horses, but still take to the streets and hurry friendly alongside them. The best thing is we sleep at night! Hooray! All this with 1 shock and 3 or 4 vibrations for a dog and about 20 shocks for the almost pain-insensitive "slow learner". PRODUCT CONS: While the part that goes to the dogs is clunky and well made. , and the batteries seem to last a week or more on a single charge, and it's easy to tell if the batteries are low when the light is off. On the other hand, the radio transmitter looks like a toy made in China. I suspect it will break if I drop it even once. Batteries don't even last 8 hours before they need to be recharged, and there's no way to tell if a battery is dead until you don't use it and it's not working. So since I work on my computer at home, I charge it from a nearby USB port so it works when I need it. the dog belongs to which buttons. We used a marker and put her name above each button, but color-coding would have been nice. It would also be nice to have more settings. The "high" limit is probably as high as you'd like, and we definitely get the "yapping" from our dog, who has a tremendous pain tolerance. But our other dog is more sensitive even though he is bigger. We accidentally electrocuted her once while we were about to electrocute another and since then the SOUND of the vibration coming from the OTHER dog's collar literally made her tremble with fear and she slid away and hid himself, even when I was in shock. Bowl of food in hand. She even squeaked from the vibration afterwards, although I know that didn't do her any harm. However, the lowest vibration setting seems quite strong and it would be nice to have a "sound" setting or a really low vibration setting for sensitive dogs or small dogs. small dog, I think it can be very painful. This is a great product for large dogs and we have ENOUGH collar length left over for even our 60 lb dogs so I suspect it can even be used for a dog over 100 lbs but I wouldn't buy it for a small dog . I find the settings too strong. If you REALLY bought it for a small dog, you can completely remove the discharge button and put some tape on it so you don't accidentally activate it. I think two strong vibrations will be more than enough for a small dog. Some reviewers mentioned that the metal tines bit into their dogs' skin and caused sores. Seriously, ignore these reviews. Yes, it has metal tips, and yes they can bite the skin and cause sores if not exercised regularly, but the collar isn't "inherently" wrong which could cause this. The teeth just need to be moved regularly. Whenever I go to the dogs, I just turn the collar around a bit. I also don't hold her too tight to dig into her skin. Leaving NOTHING on a person or dog's skin with pressure will result in injury. That's why older people get ulcers even just lying in bed if they don't exercise regularly. Just move the tines regularly and there shouldn't be any problems.
