PetSpy Shock Collar for Dogs-Waterproof Dog Shock Collar with Remote Control,Vibration,Electric Shock,Beep-E Collar for Dogs Training,Collar with Remote for Dogs 10-140 LBS

Short life – Only worked for 7 months!
6/7/18 Update: I changed my review back to five stars! The manufacturer emailed me about the problem and immediately sent a replacement collar for the one that was not working, along with some valuable advice. The collar is back on my dog and training is continuing. The training device is excellent. I use the vibrate button as a signal during training and sometimes the beep, and have only used the “shock” button a couple of times in emergency situations (after, of course, training my dog on what the signal means. There are lots of videos online on how to train with an e-collar and I highly recommend watching a couple before starting training). I have a young smart working dog who is always looking for a job to do. He has so much energy and drive I found it difficult to impossible to get his attention and focus before I started using the collar. The PetSpy training collar allows me to get Freddy’s attention immediately and remotely. At that point, training is easy. But to be honest, I haven’t done much training yet – I have mostly focused on getting his attention and getting control and a reliable recall. My dog has gone from totally out of control to a still energetic but fully under control dog 98% of the time. Friends and family have all remarked about the huge change in Freddy since I started using the collar. I have close to a 100% head snap when I call and a rapid recall from anywhere on my 2 acre property – even without using the remote and without being in sight. He has stopped digging up the property hunting for gophers and stops with a “no” on the few times he starts. What is interesting is Freddy is much calmer in general now that he knows what I want him to do – the consistent and quick signal from the e-collar allows him to relax because he knows I’m in charge, he doesn’t have to be. Now I’m going to start formal and advanced training and it will be easy. Thanks to the training collar.Hold off on my review below. I am asking the manufacturer for a replacement under their 1 year warranty. I’ll let you know the upshot.Thanks, SueThe collar worked great at first, although it didn’t seem to have the range reported, However, it stopped working 7 months after I purchased it. All the lights seem to be working, showing the unit was charged and ready but it no longer produced a “tone” and neither the vibrate or shock function worked at all. At this point it is worthless. I am going to try to contact the manufacturer to see if they will fix it since it wasn’t sold as a disposable item. I will let you know if they make good on their product. Very disappointed because it was a wonderful training tool while it worked!

Works well
Love all the options. Haven’t had to use the shock button at all. My dog responds well to just the beeps. Wish battery in collar lasted a little longer before needing to charge, other than that, great product.

Terrible Battery Life
Having purchased the PetSpy P620 Collar about a month ago, I must express my considerable dissatisfaction due to its severely limited longevity and unreliable performance.Let me start with the positives. Out of the box, setting up this collar is relatively easy. It comes with directions, different length nodes depending on your dogs fur length, a node tester, and remote and charger. The remote is nice and small, with easy to use buttons.Now the negatives. Initially, I was impressed by its design and promising features with high hopes of it being a reliable tool to ensure the training and well-being of my pup. However, the real experience was a far cry from the expectations set by the product’s advertisement.The most glaring flaw was the collar’s battery life, which dies at an alarmingly rapid rate (within 2 days), requiring frequent recharges and leaving me anxious about my pet’s safety during our outdoor training sessions or adventures. This relentless cycle of charging rendered the device essentially impractical and drastically lowered its utility. I also realize that I may have just received a faulty device, however I do have higher expectations for a $70 device, twice the amount of a collar I’ve purchased before with little to worry. Additionally, the vibration on the device is not strong enough for my dog to feel.Moreover, this constant unreliability of the collar compromises not only the convenience but also the safety and harmony within the owner-pet relationship. A device intended to train and assist should not become a source of distress and disappointment.In conclusion, the collar fails to deliver on reliability, durability, and advanced functionality. Its rapid battery depletion and questionable durability make it a product I cannot recommend. Prospective buyers should consider exploring alternative options that ensure both peace of mind and the well-being of their furry friends. I hope they can improve this, only then will it be worth spending $70, otherwise, go buy a $30 e-collar.

Arriver intact

I was looking for a good 2-collar system with a medium price range and this fit the bill.Firstly, the packaging instilled confidence- very well packed and I felt even as I opened the box that I was getting my moneys worth. The Li-Po batteries in the collars and transmitter have amazing staying power and last through at LEAST 4-5 hour-long walks- the transmitter battery indicator still read “full” after said walks. The range of the unit is vast and my dogs respond to the stimuli well beyond 200m through thick trees/brush- in the open, the range is much greater. The collars are very large (you trim them to length-if desired) and would fit the largest of dogs. Two sets of metal “electrodes” are included (short and long) and I found the long ones worked best on my Basset hounds due to their wrinkly skin. My dogs love their collars and get excited when I get them out.Offering 3 modes of stimuli (beep, vibrate, shock) my dogs learned immediately what “comes next” and it only took a couple shocks…90% of the time they now respond to the beep, the vibrate option is rarely even needed. Walks are now far more enjoyable for them AND me… they have more freedom and get more exercise off leash. I can’t describe how wonderful these have been for us.CONS: there are a couple, but not enough to lose a “star”. I wish the vibrate and shock intensity was adjustable separately. When you set the vibrate intensity (which just alters the duration- not strength) it also changes the shock strength. The belt clip on the transmitter could be stronger. It was hanging from my neck on the lanyard when it caught on my pocket when I bent down- the plastic clip bent and remained so making it effectively useless…a stronger clip would be welcomed. Lastly, a charging adapter with a 3rd plug would be handy (the charger has two connectors) so I could charge both collars AND the transmitter at once.This is my first e-collar but I will never own another dog without one. One day, if this unit is lost or fails, I will buy from PetSpy again. Quality, durability, and function. Amazing.
