Are there different correction levels on this collar? is the lowest setting on this similar to highest on the regular collar?

The lowest setting is tone/vibrate only. The other 4 settings have various levels of shock along with tone. Tone comes in first, then the anti-linger shock comes in after a couple/few seconds. I have to keep everything set on high - boundary at max, level 5 on the collar. She is an extremely fast runner and get through the boundary on the lower settings when she has her mind set on a rabbit or coyote.

There are different correction levels. Don't know about lowest/highest comparison. It is working well on our high-energy, highly social yellow lab.

I don't know about the comparison, but I have my collars set high on my min pins. They stay in the boundaries except my male occasionally can run across when he's not thinking about it. I don't think the fence has enough time to respond or his collar bounces away from his neck when this happens. I love this system none the less.

Yes, there's a warning area (only tone) and a correction are (shock)! I used the shock modes a couple of weeks, and then leave it on only tone mode, because the collar sometimes give them shocks randomly when they are close but not even in the warning area

Yes, I have two different collars with. different batteries. Both work fine

It is a very adjustable collar. My dog only weighs 34 pounds and it fits her but, would adjust to a smaller size as well. Hope this helps you in your decision.

Well I ordered the product anyway and figured if the collars didnt fit I would make adjustments somehow. Well for my 7 lb yorkie the fit is ok it's a bit big on the shortest setting but its fine. It moves around a bit but is not completely too loose to use. For the 8 lb cockapoo the shortest setting is also ok. the instructions say not to have the prongs touching the neck anyway so the shortest collar setting is fine for both my small dogs! Hope that helps!

The Preventic collar is fully adjustable to any neck size smaller than the collar. It uses a standard slip buckle. I use a 25" collar on a NS Duck Toller with a 21" neck, and I join 2 - 25" collars for a Mastif with a 40" neck.

I'm not sure but don't buy these. Only one of my collars work fine but the second one doesn't. Followed directions to reset them, NO luck still didn't work.

The collar is adjustable,the other question you need to ans. is the height correct?I am over 6ft tall with a 15.5 neck size but like a 2 inch high collar.

The unit I purchased cost $799.00 and came with one collar. So I am not sure we are talking the same unit or if they have lowered price of the one I purchased. Have been very happy with the unit and have had no problems. HTH

I use it with two dogs - one bigger and more stubborn than the other. We set her collar at a higher level (on the collar itself) than we set the little guys. The only time it causes issues is when you are needing to change the dial to a higher/lower setting and push the wrong button. Then the dog who gets a vibration or shock looks at you like "I am being good!" while the other one is trying to cross the street. ;-)

Another response based on the other responses regarding the sensitivity. I think this will depend on your dog. The dog we purchased this for is deaf and he's very sensitive. Usually, we only use the paging feature but for correction, rarely have we had to turn it above 20. He weighs about 45-50 lbs. As I mentioned about the collar size in my other response, my other dog is about 55 lbs and she's all muscle. She seems to respond in the 30-40 range for correction and is responsive to the paging as well.

Probably, this is the collar for STUBBORN dogs. I have a 60 lb dog with super thick fur and level 3 is strong enough for corrections...it goes to level 8 but there is an option to double the settings so you actually have 16 levels. By day 2 just using the audible sound corrects the dog...this product is amazing. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

Yes, this collar have a vibration mode in a fixed level, can't be adjustable

I'll jump in on this old thread. First the price will fluctuate between $38 to $52 on Amazon depending who the third party seller is. I actually got one for $38 on a lightning deal. I've purchased four in nearly three years and on my last collar, it was still working ten months later. Again, do the match on Advantage or similar products and you'll find this very cost effective.

The collar and device is very large, it does not have holes in the band for smaller necks. I would suggest buying one that is meant for small breeds.

Nick, The collar is very big, I have an adult golden retriever mix and we have considered cutting down a portion of the collar. There are plenty of holes for any adjustment, large or small. Great collar!

The collar only has one vibration level. You can use either the shock or the vibration at a time. This collar is the lowest quality that you will find in training quality. I bought it for the price. It's always on unless you take out the batteries. If you don't want to use the shock option you dont have to. The shock and vibration have different buttons. Hope I helped!
