Ultra-Small Dog Shock Collar, Ultra-Light & Thin Dog Training Collar with 1300ft Remote, Tailored for Small Dogs 5-15lbs & Medium Dogs, 198-Level Precise Control, Waterproof, Rechargeable (Black)

At first, I was hesitant about getting a training collar because I’m usually pretty gentle with my pets. However, I recently adopted a 2-year-old Chihuahua rescue, and while he gets along with my 4-year-old cat, things weren’t going so smoothly. Whenever he saw the cat, he would bark like crazy and wouldn’t stop until he scared my kitty off. It eventually got to the point where my poor cat was losing weight from all the stress. After thinking it over carefully, I decided to try out two training collars to see if they’d help.When the collars arrived, the fit for my Chihuahua was good, but the strap definitely needed some trimming. The extra length, which I assume is to accommodate bigger dogs, was more than necessary for my little guy. Fortunately, setting everything up wasn’t too difficult, although it did take me about an hour to go through the instructions and get the collars ready. Interestingly, I didn’t charge the collar initially and was still able to use it for about two days before it needed a recharge. Now, after fully charging it, it’s been three days and the battery is still going strong.As for the collar’s features, it comes with three modes: beep, vibrate, and shock. I mainly bought it for the first two because I’m not even considering using the shock function. Given that my Chihuahua had already been through so much before I adopted him, the last thing I want is to cause him more distress. Thankfully, the beep catches his attention well, and the vibrate reinforces the “Quiet” command without any discomfort. So far, these two modes have worked perfectly, and I haven’t had to consider the shock at all.Now, whenever the beep goes off, he’s much more aware, and if I use the vibrate function while saying “Quiet,” it’s like giving him a little nudge. Over the past few days, I’ve only been putting the collar on him when I leave the house. He still barks when someone comes to the door, which I don’t mind—that’s normal dog behavior. However, the collar has really helped control the barking when he’s home alone, and it’s reinforced his training without stressing him out. Additionally, his interactions with my cat have improved too. He’s not barking at her as much anymore, and they seem to be getting along better now.

Our pups are in their terrible twos, the bulldog gets spooked easy and she’ll start barking, which then will trigger the cavalier only she doesn’t stop and it becomes problem, we’ve been trying to work with her to stop.She has also taken to barking when animals appear on the TV. Nothing we were doing was working until we found this. We had tried another version elsewhere, a was just a remote that would make sounds that dogs could hear, but it was punishing both dogs for something. only one was doing, and the one that needed it the most wasn’t phased by it.I really like that this gives you the option to choose between an audible beep sound, vibration, or shock, and you can also choose the intensity from one to 100. We started off with the vibration and she responded quickly to that, occasionally we’ve had to use the shock to get her attention when she was really on a roll. But we keep it at a very low number, and I have tried it, feel similar to light static shock, just enough to kind of get your attention without causing pain.After using it nearly daily, and when she does respond to it, we do give her praise and a tiny treat, we are at the point of just wearing the collar is enough to remind her to not go crazy just because the bulldog barks and most days if she does, we can correct her with just the audible sound.The collar is kind of a one-size-fits-all, it’s adjustable and I’m pretty sure we could take out the extra slack it would fit it on the bulldog without any issues. This company is actually really respectable and I highly recommend this product.

As a dog owner with experience using shock collars with multiple dogs over a 25+ year period of time, I feel comfortable giving an honest review of this product.The collar:The collar itself is a basic nylon strap with a buckle much like you'd find on a backpack or belt bag. This is likely suitable for a small dog. The strap is fairly thin and I would not feel comfortable leaving it on a larger dog without supervision. With that being said, this strap will only fit a dog with a neck up to 19 inches so be aware of that. The receiver on the collar is very lightweight and has prongs that can be swapped out depending on your needs. This is great for a smaller dog, but if you're looking for something rugged for a sporting type breed, this likely is not going to work for you. The receiver is a hard plastic rather than the coated/rubberized receiver you would find on Sport Dog, old Tri-Tronics, or Garmin. Again, suitable for what it is meant for.The transmitter:The transmitter is actually fairly impressive in my mind. The buttons are a bit hard to read without tilting them into the light to see the symbols, but this could be remedied by the company in a future iteration by placing white symbols on the black buttons. This isn't necessary per-se because you're likely to get used to where everything it, but it would be handy. The screen is about the size of a quarter and in color. I'm impressed with that part of it. It also comes with a strap that could be worn on the wrist. A belt clip would also be nice in my mind for quicker accessibility, but again, not necessary.The features:Tone: My dogs both are trained to the point that they will respond to the tone on their own collars. When testing the tone on this collar at my desk, my youngest lab made a beeline out of the room. The tone is strong and will get the attention of the dog as is intended.Vibration: You can adjust the level of vibration. At 99, it is almost stronger than my Sport Dog collars. If you have a small dog, you might consider turning this down.Shock: You can lock it so that you never shock your dog. I would also recommend trying the level of shock on yourself by laying your own finger across both prongs before just slapping this on your dog. If you're going to do it to them, you should know what you're actually doing. When testing the collar with my finger, I could not even feel the slightest tingle in my finger until the collar was at level 9 for shock. By level 17 it still was not that strong, but on a small dog it doesn't have to be. The level increases all the way to 99, so use your discretion.Overall:If you own a small dog who could benefit from some correction and you are willing to learn how to use a shock collar correctly and appropriately, this is a good collar for you. If improvements are made to the product in the future, I think it could benefit from a belt clip for the transmitter, a different style strap for the collar itself and maybe even a more durable material for the receiver. This is an expandable system so you can have more than one dog on the same transmitter which is nice. The big limitation is the range of the collar in my mind. It has a range of 1300 feet. This is fine for in the home, the yard, or on walks, but would be lacking in a larger area.With that said, this collar is suitable for its intended purpose and I give it 5 stars overall.
