I have a 100 lb coon hound. Regular collar didnt stop him at all. Stubborn dog. Well. Sometimes he still runs through. But he knos he's paying for it. He's very stubborn headed. This is my second one fir this dog. He is now 6 yrs old. So first one lasted about 5 years. But not Normal dog years. He swims with It. Runs threw brush very very rough on it so i woukd say it was built well. Anything on this dog that lasts 5 years has to be tough.

I've used these for years and they work really great. I really like the adjustable level of correction as you can set it high when the dog is new to the conditions of operation since even though you train them before putting into use they always test it a couple times before they get the message. Once they have gotten accumstomed you can turn down the zap so it's just a reminder if they get a little over-excited about something. Only thing that can be improved is a more robust means of holding the two halves together since the edges of the receiver get scaped on the ground when the dog is lying down and this over time erodes the corners where the screws are located and wear away exposing the screws and the female screw receptor until eventually the two outer screws cut away completely and only the two inner screws are holding the two halves together. Hence the 4 stars otherwise I would give this device 5 stars.Read full review

I use these collars as a reminder for our Airedales. They are used in conjunction with our fencing to warn the dogs to stay back. They can run through the shock collar by themselves but with the fence and the collar combination they are safe and the fence is safe from them. The zone over lap by the gate keeps them in when the gate is open. This is the truly safe and easy way to control the dogs and still let them run free on the farm.

I have 3 large stubborn dogs and this system keeps them contained within my yard perimeter. I do have to keep it on the highest setting, but they learned quickly. The only issue I have is the little plastic screw in cover over the settings button, they tend to get brittle and crumble if you try to take it off.

Our dog is a 40 lbs Shiba mix who is too smart for her own good. She found that 1 spot where her collar didn't zap her...or she would get a running start and go right through it with the regular collar. She hasn't even tried with this collar. She walked towards the weak spot the first day and hasn't even tried since. no more chasing her down the road :)
