Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Dogs can cover a lot of ground fast, sometimes leaving owners out of sight, out of mind, and powerless as Fido runs after the neighbor's cat, bolts after a wild jackrabbit, or just disappears into the woods or over the horizon to check out that beckoning scent or mesmerizing odor. With its 400-yard range, this remote Yard-and-Park training system from Petsafe lets you unleash your canine cohort and let it roam far while retaining complete control. A great containment system and the ideal way to get the pooch to quit chasing cars, digging up the garden, barking at the postal worker, or jumping on guests, the Yard-and-Park trainer features a durable collar receiver and versatile handheld remote that together help keep your canine buddy in line.

Designed for pets heavier than 8 pounds and at least 6 months old, the system delivers electric corrections within a 400-yard range, offering the dog plenty of room to roam. Ideal for training in the yard or in larger spaces, the system has 8 levels of extended stimulation and 8 levels of momentary stimulation for dogs large or small, tame or wild. The transmitter is also equipped with buttons that signal to the collar to emit positive and negative tones, a great feature for basic obedience training, helping to teach Fido to come when he's called and Spot to sit on command. Thanks to the transmitter's easy add-a-dog feature, this flexible system expands to work with up to three dogs with the purchase of additional collars.

The waterproof transmitter and receiver are built to last, withstanding years of outdoor use amidst harsh elements. Each equipped with rechargeable Ni-MH batteries and recharged with the included charger, the system offers plenty of runtime and years of reliable power. Adjustable from 6 to 28 inches, the collar fit most dogs.

The kit includes the remote, the receiver collar, charging unit, lanyard, as well as a comprehensive training manual that shows how to properly use the trainer to make training a fun and rewarding experience for both the pet and the pet owner. The trainer is backed by a manufacturer limited lifetime warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful tool; fixed a critical issue, January 21, 2007

By	Tobi's (the dog) Best Friend (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews

My wife and I love to hike with our German Shepherd. However, her (the dog) behavior had become an issue. Whenever, she sees another dog or horse, she loses her mind, and we lose control of her. We did not want to resolve ourselves to hike with her on a leash.

Now that we have this device she "comes" on command, and not on the second or third time we call. She comes the first time, and to my hand. Now we can hike with her, and gain control when we see dogs, horses, and those who do not share our enthusiasm for dogs.

I like to add this devise is not cruel in any form. It has a dial of 8 settings. I tried it on myself. I could not feel "1" at all. "2" and "3" tingled. "4" felt uncomfortable (not painful), and that is where our dog is set.

The only issue is at home. We have an "invisible fence", which works on a very similar principle. The issue is that when I "beep" her or "zap" her at home, she becomes very confused. Hence, we only use it primarily for our hikes, which was our desired goal anyways.

The conclusion is that I highly recommend it for hiking or rather "off-leash" walks. You may have mixed results at home, if you have an "invisible fence". Although without the "invisible fence" issue, I believe it would be very effective for any sort of training.

Bottom line is that it works and I wish had I bought this tool earlier.

4.0 out of 5 stars I am an animal freak and I still LOVE this, March 28, 2008

By	T. Costarella "Mom of a toddler" (Parker, CO USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've belonged to PETA, World Wildlife Fund, and I have volunteered at shelters, etc... My life has always had an animal in it and I love animals. That was until my husband brought home a pug puppy. For a year I was tortured by my guilt over my extreme dislike of this dog. She bit, she chewed (going to happen with puppies - I know - but it was INSANE), she scratched, she jumped, she made messes, she started to use my toddlers as chew toys and no matter what we did, who trained her, where we took her - she wasn't getting it. She has been crate trained from the beginning and she still wasn't getting the fact that she had to "go" outside. I don't mean an accident every once in a while, I mean - our living room was her backyard. I was a mess, I was irritable and frustrated with her 90% of the time because (mainly)of her biting. I've trained numerous dogs before and she wasn't getting it. Buying this collar was a last resort and the BEST THING I DID. She had the collar on 2 days and she got it. She got it all. Everything we tried to train her for a year sunk in on the first shock. (And we had the level at a 2!) The kids now play with her, I enjoy my time with her, she enjoys life because she is with us, my older (geriatric) dog is enjoying life because he's not her chew toy. It's AWESOME. The fact that it's rechargable is a plus and the only reason it didn't get a perfect, 5-star grade is because I wish the charge lasted longer. Saved our life, took away the guilt, my kids love her now(they were scared to death of her before), my husband is happy and it brought peace to our house.(And a house with 2 adults, 2 toddlers, 2 cats, 2 dogs and 3 birds needs as much calmness as possible:)) (Our cats are happier, too, because she's not chewing on them either!) HIGHLY recommend it and anyone who says it's inhumane hasn't seen it in action like I did. She does not wear it now except as a re-training every 2 weeks or so. I used to have to chase her all over the house to get her into her crate. My husband used this horrible, high pitch baby voice to get her in the crate (if you had heard that you would have fainted!). One week with the collar and training - and all I have to do is point to the crate and say, "Chloe - crate!" and she's in. It's crazy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product, August 31, 2007

By	C. Holmes - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I wish I would have bought this years ago for a previous dog that I owned. I use this collar on a dog that weighs 12 pounds and the collar would easily adjust to fit to an even smaller dog. We use it for many reasons i.e. stopped her nipping at the kids, walking off leash w/o running away, not barking, etc. This product is a miracle. I absolutely love it!!!
