5.0 out of 5 stars
5 stars from a tough critic,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dogtra 1900NCP Field Star 1/2 mile Training Collar Single Dog (Sports)
I will try and keep this short but I have a thousand good things to say about this product. I have a 15 month old German Shepherd puppy that is roughly 80lbs. He is stubborn and really loves to 'test' me. His energy level is what you'd expect for a dog of his age and his size times seventeen. He cannot be satiated by a walk and I can't run with him everyday due to knee problems. I have a nearby field where he could run and play if he was just able to heel when someone else came onto the field or walked by. He is extremely nice but most people freak out (which is expected when a GSD is charging at you) if he approaches them. I couldn't risk him jumping up on someone so we normally just took short walks and I dealt with his energy accordingly.
I read the reviews here and bit the bullet after swallowing what seemed like a bitter $200+ pill. Boy was I wrong! I took my dog out once. One time. Just a single outing with this thing and his demeanor changed EVEN at home. Just make sure you have the collar VERY tight. My dog is tough so the first time I thought he wasn't feeling it and I continued to increase the intensity until the contacts touched his skin around Level: 70, which delivers a solid pop. I had gone up to 40 on my own arm beforehand. I have shocked myself at this level (70) afterwards to make sure I didn't really hurt him. It's not comfortable but it's nothing bad...especially for such a large animal. He wandered away from me and I called him back. He continued so he got the nick. It didn't stop him from running off from me so I switch over to constant (back down to level 25, where he is extremely responsive now) and held it for less than .5 seconds. He immediately stopped and looked at me. I called him back and he came immediately. I gave him tons of praise and that was it. That's the whole ordeal. I can take him anywhere now without a leash and I am in complete control. He responds to the device at just level 25 now and we are working on him learning the 'Page' feature so I can completely stop using the actual stimulation, though at this level it is not really any different than the vibration itself. The dog is far far happier and his energy level is lower now that we can spend 20 minutes with him in a solid sprint daily. His eating habits have improved and he is far less interested in people wandering around us. Now that's what most reviews of this product sound like but they don't actual review this PRODUCT, just the premise of the device. Yes, it works amazingly well and your dog will have behavioral improvement as a direct result of using it but that doesn't say anything about THIS dogtra product. So let me convince you to buy this one instead of the ones for sale at PetsMart and the like. This unit is built TOUGH. It's water resistant and comes in an extremely well packaged carrying case. I am a devices hardware engineer and I am not one that is easily impressed. This thing does it for me. It's going to last forever and it's easy to use. The buttons are not easy to press accidentally and the range has been tested to about 400 yards (half the advertised range) without a hiccup. The charge lasts forever and you can charge them both at the same time. The collar is durable and comfortable for the dog. Mine doesn't even notice it. You can easily change the intensity of the stimulus if your dog runs off and needs a REALLY good jolt, though I have had amazing results with just using constant for about 1s at a VERY low level in those situations, when necessary. After a few good zaps you won't have to worry about your dog roaming very far from you. --Can't say enough, this is just fantastic!

I read lots of reviews of many different collars. The cheaper ones all seem to have issues after a short amount of use. I also did not want to be buying batteries every month. Another comment someone made was about being water proof. The last thing was the range needed to be more than 50 feet. This collar has so far been GREAT! It lasts for days on one charge, about 3 to 4 days constantly being on, the remote last even longer. I like having the ability to just vibrate the dog for correction as well. I don't have to use the Nick or Constant hardly at all. Only when he goes brain dead, i.e. another dog or something really interesting. Vibrate makes him stop what he's not suppose to be doing almost all the time. I try and use a command before I send a vibrate correction. I will say that the power level of this collar is controllable via the remote. DO NOT LET YOUR KID ALONE WITH THE REMOTE. I tired the shock collar on my self first and found that LVL 1-20 were barely noticeable. At lvl 30 I can hold on to it while pushing the constant button. I decided to turn the power up while holding it and pushing constant. When you get to lvl 40 it starts to hurt enough you don't want to hold it long. I am a big man 6'4" 300 lbs and I stopped there. This thing goes to 127 on the dial. The reason I say don't let your kids play with it is because they will turn it up to high and shock your buddy till he cry's. My kids had the dial set at 80 and hit the button. My oldest told my youngest it was all right to do it. So you can guess what happened next. Poor dog screamed and ran to my wife because I had went to the garage to get something. The youngest was very upset at what she had done to the dog. She cried for quite sometime. I had the boy hold the collar after showing and letting him push the button on (while on 30) me. I wanted him to understand it hurts. He has not done it since. I wish they made them for kids as well, I could see these being useful :-) LOL. Oh and the collar buckle is metal and the actual belt material is VERY strong and also water proof. I had to wash the whole thing after my dog rubbed his neck in $h!t. So I was thankful I bought the water proof one. I also looked at other sites for reviews before deciding on this collar (Cabela's). I would tell anyone with a stubborn dog that is 30 + lbs to get this collar. It works GREAT on my male 95lb Black Lab that just turned 1 yr old.

Perfect Product!,
My wife and I have a 80lb puppy who has had some issues with jumping up on people. This training collar has helped us keep her from tackling our guests. Great product, the vibrate funtion is an added bonus that seems to have a great effect.
