There seems to be a lot of people saying that these collars stop working, is there any specific reason this happens?

I think ours got wet even though their water proof. There's a little tiny plug that has to be in and it's easy to forget about it. This collar is good for training your dogs close range. Walking, not getting too excited, jumping on people etc... Our dogs were getting loose and these collars didn't help. No range.

Not sure why but mine have. With one of them, if I plug it in to charge it starts peeping and never stops until it's been unplugged for around 2-4min. The second one still has the sound function but nothing else works. The best part of these is the collars they come with. Spend your money elsewhere

We don't know what happened, but ours never worked well. The controls were very finicky and we were unable to use them for training our dogs. In out estimation, these collars were a total waste of money.

Mine had a 2 year warranty I believe. Every once in awhile you do get a bad collar, but overall these are great.

I have four collars which I have used for many years. I have never experienced a problem with any of them.

It needs to be charged regularly and i noticed that I have to reset the collar almost every time i use it. Other than that, it has been working just fine. I am wondering if my dog will go back to old habits once i stop using the collar or will it program her not to do certain things so eventually she won't do them even when i don't use the collar. Has anyone noticed the difference with their dog's behavior when the collar is not used?

They are corrected indivually. They has a setting on the remote for collar number 1 or 2. Just have to know who's wearing which. However the distance isn't far and they turn of quickly. To turn on takes a solid 5 seconds. Quick but not when trying to correct a behavior

I used the collars for about 2 weeks but probably could have done without them after the first week. Only took a few shocks enforced with the word "No!" for them to stop just by telling them no. I use them occasionally when I see them trying to move farther away (toward the highway or into the woods) just to give them a reminder.

You have to be in very close proximity to the collar with remote. Almost touching. Other than that, is the battery in the collar fully charged and is the remote battery old? If so change it out. Good Luck, sorry I cannot be of more help.

If you turn collar off when not in use, they should last almost 6 months. Have had this collar for some time now and it works well. Although if you have a dog with thick fur like a husky, the leads on the collar to dogs neck sometimes do not make contact . It will work with them but you have to make sure it is tight and wiggle bit to make sure the leads make contact. But for dogs with shorter hair it should work fantastic.

I have not seen replacement collars. As suggested below directly call the manufacture. Another suggestion would be to contact some local Gung Fu Schools. There was a group of students at my first school that made them there, and I've run across other school that also do this.

I think it would depend on what type of training you are using these collars for. I have used these collars for years and find that even with my older, well-trained dogs they are much more responsive if they just wear the collars (without even turning them on).

Possibly. I think it's probably just because I have small dogs with small collars. They are beautifully made and if I ever have a larger dog again, I would not hesitate to purchase another of these tags.

No each set of collars seems to work on different wave length. I have five little yappers and four of them, young ones, wear the collars. I have to use two different controls for them. Thank the lord I marked the collars to match the controllers or some one would be corrected when they were innocent. The number five dog is to old to change.

The prongs work on my 90lb lab who has a lot of loose neck skin. I think some people are scared of tightening it down too hard. You need to tighten it to where you can barely get your finger between the prong and neck. When their heads are down sniffing the ground the collar will succumb to gravity and not make contact otherwise. You can buy longer prongs from the company later if the ones on there are too short. The collar and remote have worked great for us for over a year now.

This particular collar I have had for probably two weeks had to return the first one did not work second one received it broken as well. So no I don't recommend this brand collar but training collars do work well for the short time I had one. Will go to local store and purchase a reliable better quality collar.

this has happened to me 4 times and I kept buying new collars. finally a few weeks ago, I called the customer service number and asked if I could buy a couple and they sent them to me free of charge. the customer service agent was very helpful and pleasant.

I'd say if the links are cheap buy a few , but may be worth ur while to just buy another collar . All price considering .
