How is the "waterproof" with this collar?

I don't believe that it is waterproof in the sense that it can go underwater. It is a training tool to be used during training for short periods of time. You shouldn't leave it on the dog for extended periods of time. We have used ours in the snow and the rain and it functions properly.

Your fur baby's collar goes thru loops in the collar..Then it just Velcro's on. My Brittany wore it with no problem for 10 days.

I love this collar! My dog gets really anxious, but the collar keeps him calm for about 30 days. Take it off if the dog is going to be getting wet though (like in a bath or a lake).

I don't think its waterproof. We ended up giving the unit to a friend. There are no settings on collar for adjustment and one of our dogs did not respond well to this unit...I would suggest you research all units and the get one that has adjustments. Your dog may respond well to just a beep or vibration, or it my not stop him at all! at least with an adjustable collar you can change the settings to fit your dog. Pet Safe products are all interchangable, take a look at them as well.

No. Although I have kept mine on my dog when she was outside in light rain, I try not to. One of our first 2 collars was damaged by a fairly small amount of liquid. (The second one broke when I pulled on it, instead of her collar... oops!)

I don't know the answer to that question but I would not recommend this shock collar. It didn't work at all and I sent it back. I bought a sport dog model and it has worked wonderfully and even is waterproof.

I'm not sure about swimming but the collars are waterproof if on while getting a bath. Does the insert give that info? Sorry I can't be of any more help..my dog is never in water as in swimming.

it does appear to be.....i have a lab (loves water).....keeps working.....only bad thing is he chewed through the collar and part of the shocker so we aren't sure if it actually still works......but i would definitely agree that it is water proof

Yes kinda, let me explain.... The collar has a rubber backing plate where you put the batteries so as long as thats sealed youre ok.. I havent bathed him with it but it works at the lake when hes all wet.. I hope this helps

No not really. It is ok in the rain without problems. My dog sent swimming with his on and it seemed to shorten the collars life span. If your new to this door I would recommend having a spare collar around. Best wishes.

I think you are supposed to take the collar off prior to it getting wet. If it was just once, it's probably ok, but I would not continually expose it to water.

Yes...we simply bought another plastic collar that was thin enough to feed thru the "device". Plastic is best so that it can repel the rain. I used a skewer stick (like u grill with) to push thru one of the collar "holes" to keep the device from moving around. This now "tiny 1/4" skewer piece keeps the collar from sliding around, doesn't bother the dog at all AND both me and "my baby" love the smaller width collar!!

It is leather on leather. The collar has been abused as far as getting soaked in both salt and fresh water and has held up quite well.

Hi, we never submerged the collar. Our problem with dog was in the house getting into cats food. We also have the Petsafe underground fence and that collar is very similar to the remote training collar and we've had that collar wet with no problems. It's almost 7yrs old now and still works like new. Petsafe products seem to be very well made. I hope this helps.

Yes it is water resistant! It says as long as it isn't submerged in water! My dog has wore his in the rain and I've had no problems so far! I hope that helps! :-)

I haven't had ours long enough to rust, and I am happy with the quality of this collar. We haven't had any issues with it at all, I plan on ordering another one for our other Lab.

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.
