6 MONTH UPDATE BELOW
What a gem this item is. The good reviews were accurate and well deserved. Kudos! I checked out many, many collars like this some more expensive and some less. After reading all of the reviews settled on this one. One of the reasons was I have two dogs and each collar can be used separately even if both are wearing them. It comes with one also but for the priice difference it would be nice to always have one freshly charged. One little thing was that the first set received was defective as one of the shockers didn't work. However I called Amazon and they returned it for me (even while they were waiting for the item to be returned to them) and I immediately ordered a new one which was received only two days later and worked perfectly. So I did not take away any stars due to that.
I now know that the charge lasted over 3 weeks for the dog that needed more correction. While the one sitting on the counter that hadn't been used for a couple weeks was still going strong. NICE!!!!
I have two completely different needs for this. One dog just got a little too independent and the other one became very aggressive. I will give you both examples in case you are in either situation like I was. One situation just needed a little prodding. But the other was becoming dangerously aggressive and facing...well I don't want to think about that.
I have an 11 month old puppy that has recently decided that he did not need to come in when I called him. If it was a nice day and he was laying in the sunshine why come in I guess. One day I went out to get him and he started to run. I grabbed him that time but I could envision the future with me running out in the back yard with my jammies on, curlers in my hair, with my winter boots on, in the snow. I decided I would have to do something before Michigan winter comes and it was already October.
Puppy now comes RUNNING when his name is called. I did have to use the vibrate option and both levels of the shock once or twice (with the rubber tips not the metal ones). After a couple times I only had to use the vibrate mode. After four days of that it was all over and we were through with the collar for him.
However, I have another little dog (they are both 18 pounds) but a few months older. When she gets allergies she gets aggressive (only with the puppy, not people) until I can figure out what she is allergic too. She had decided it was ok to go after the younger dog and sometimes I had to violently pull her off of him. She is a huge Yorkie but thinks she is a pit-bull. I give her a jolt or two and it stops her in her tracks. I had to use the higher level. This was with the metal tips because the rubber ones didn't phase her. Prior to this I felt like I could not get this problem under control. It was horrible! The younger one yelping for help, running in his crate and the monster going in right after him trapping him in there with her. I was hysterical. She actually hurt him twice before I could get her off of him. I knew I was going to have to do something. I did not want to put her down. I lost my two Yorkies last year 9 days apart and when I found this Yorkie - she saved me because I was a wreck. She is the sweetest dog. She sleeps in my arms! You can see why it would be too hard for me to let her go. My little one had all of his shots. I had him neutered already and I had him since he was six weeks old. He is simply the cutest dog in the world! What a horrible decision I was facing. Until this!!! Now we are going to be ok!!! I thank God every day for this collar. She still wears hers because I can't get her food allergy under control yet even though she hasn't done it lately. I'm hoping one day she won't need the collar anymore but if she does it's still a far better option than the one we were facing.
I did think the shock was a little bigger than expected based on other reviews especially as I tried it on my arm and fingers even with the metal tips which gives a stronger shock than the rubber tips. This is how I found that out! And the rubber tips didn't even affect one of them at all so I may just be more sensitive. But it does handle the problem. I never had to hit either of my dogs which I think is way, way worse than a shock that doesn't adversely affect their personality as far as being afraid of me or anyone else and shows no lasting adverse affects at all. I was in a tough spot and glad I made the decision I did. I have owned this now for 3-1/2 weeks. But it only took a couple of days of finding out what worked to know that we were going to be alright.
I'm about to start walking with them again, but in the past both dogs wanted to walk ME. Both will be wearing the collars to help them do a better job of it. Using only the vibration mode which does not hurt at all but does put their attention back on me. I think I will no longer be pulled flying down the street trying to hold on.
This is the longest review I have ever written, but many of us have situations with our pets that we wish we didn't have. And if you are looking at these kind of collars you are probably one of us. I hope this can help someone else before they have to face a decision like I was facing. You can trust this product to help you, from simple "redirection" to more serious correction like we needed. It surely has improved the quality of our pets life and ours.
Good luck!
UPDATE: 6 months later and still going strong. The charge life is really great. They still last for weeks at a time. But the really great news is that neither dog requires them anymore. The little dog needs an occasional reminder about coming inside. I had to do this two times and both times only used vibrate with great results. Both times the charge was still good from before. I will use them for our walks as the Michigan winter was just way to hard on them this year. I never saw one dog being walked on my street all winter long! It was really cold. But I am totally confident that only the vibration will need to be used. They respond to the vibration immediately.
I did get the slightly older dogs food allergies under control. So I can't say that it was 100% the collars doing. But what I can say is we wouldn't have had the chance or the time to get her allergies under control if it weren't for the collar. She was on the verge of becoming vicious and now she is just the sweetest little Yorkie. It has all worked out wonderfully and we are grateful that there was a solution at last because for the a time there we didn't have one.
The only note of disappointment is that the little rubber cap that keeps the charge port covered came off which seems impossible since it was screwed on and the screw is still there. But I did notice when it came that the screw was sticking up kind of funny. I tried to tighten it down but couldn't so I just let it go. Since it has a one year warranty I will contact the company as by no means do I feel this is normal wear and tear. But it doesn't alter the usability at all so that is really not a big deal.

Worked better than we had hoped
We bought these to help keep our dogs in the yard, and we are very pleased. We live in a subdivision and are yard has no fence nor do we care to put one up. Our first dog was never a problem and we didn't have to worry about his leaving the yard but we acquired a new dog and she likes to wonder and my original dog started to follow her. At first I was really concerned about shocking the dogs as it's always seemed cruel but these have a very loud and strong vibrate setting which works great so I don't even have to use the shock portion. They charged over night and the next day I put one on each dog and sent them into the back yard and just waited until they attempted to leave the yard. As soon as I hit the vibrate button they came running right back into the yard and sat down. We worked them like this all day and we saw a noticeable difference in not only their behavior outside but also inside as well. I even had an issue where when we went for car rides one dog would be all over the car while the other just sat nicely in the back seat, so I decided to run to the store and see how it worked. I would get out of the truck and go into the store and just stand at the door peaking out and as soon as I saw the dog jump on the center console or hop in the front seat I would hit the vibration button and right back to the back seat she would go. If she got up on the leather doors and stuck her head out I would vibrate and down she got. I then decided to go to the park with the dogs as here again we had issues with one dog that would just bolt off running and never come back when I called and again as soon as she got too far from me I would simply hit the vibration button and back she would come to me. Needless to say we are very pleased with this purchase and can recommend this products. Will this work for you and your pet? All pets are different but if you've been frustrated and running out of options then it's worth a try. And again I never once had to use the shock settings as the vibration is very strong and loud.
