Review on Paipaitek Waterproof Humane Vibration Dog Training Collar with Remote, Rechargeable & Up to 1600Ft Range - No Shock or Prongs by Laurel Rohr

I really like the size and ergonomics of this machine: the transmitter is small with a comfortable neck strap, and the receiver is smaller than those with a static percussion function. Also, despite its small size, the range is much better than other devices I've tried. Our dog is stubborn but tries to be well behaved and we have never been able to find a shock collar that delivers reliable and consistent shocks. It just wasn't worth the risk of negative reinforcement in my opinion. This one offers vibration, beep and vibration + beep (in one button). Vibration works for us to get their attention and bring their attention back to us, and then we use the beep as a "Nice dog, they're bringing you a cookie" signal. A couple of complaints: The so-called manual is a joke. This was clearly written by someone whose native language is not English and users are suffering as a result. PLEASE hire someone to rewrite your manual. The charging port on the receiver is covered with a very small, difficult to tamper with silicone sleeve. You have to have a sharp fingernail to get under a ledge and then gently pull it out again or the whole thing will come loose and the micro-USB connector will remain open. Addendum, 5 months after purchase: My receiver hasn't worked for about a week. I contacted the seller and he sent a replacement even though it was out of warranty. So that's the good/bad news: it's good that the saleswoman was kind enough to offer to make up the loss, but it's not great that she's going to fail in such a short time. Let's hope the replacement is better. :-) Second PS, 5 months and 5 days after purchase: Replacement collar broken after less than 2 hours of use. Once again the seller is very nice with the support but none of their solutions work. I'm giving up this brand even though I really like the features but I need something that works. Stars reduced to 1 due to unreliability. :-(
