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 Mod Kindred

Great Collar (and great price) for training small dogs-This is not my first experience using a dog ‘training collar’, (on a much larger 65 pound breed of dog 14 years ago) so this one did have some expectations to meet, which it did. This time I was specifically looking for a small lightweight collar for a small breed dog. I found the collar and control unit VERY well made, slick design, simple and intuitive to use. Briefly I will address some of the other reviews I read prior to buying. Obviously folks simply received ‘bad’ units and should have returned them for properly working units. Most other complaints I would judge they simply bought the wrong size/model collar for their breed of dog OR used it improperly. I agree the ‘beep’ and ‘buzz’ function are somewhat anemic, however, they do work well if not overused and employed properly. My Jack Russell-terrier-poodle mix (exceptionally active, barker, biting, chewing breed of dog) has responded so well I have NEVER found it necessary to use the static/shock function so I can’t truly swear how well this collar would work on medium or large long haired breed, but, I did TEST the shock function on my bare arm, it works great, and even the lowest setting (1) is ‘an attention getter.’ Believe me; I didn’t turn it up to maximum (9) to test if I could stand it, however, based on my past experience training with a shock collar I would be amazed if even a large breed could ignore even the lower medium settings. Like everything else, if you don’t understand how to train with the collar, you will get poor results.
