Fast forward and rewind? Do you think that this is a good collar for her?

hold the &lt;&lt; or &gt;&gt; down for a bit and it rewinds/fast forwards, you release when you are to the point you want to be at. a quick tap will go back and forward by track. hope this helps!

The collar is adjustable. Just buy the one appropriate for the size of the dog. It's not magic, but it does help!

Lauren, the DVDs by Don Sullivan say to replace the command collar upon "graduation" and then to reintroduce if mid-course corrections to behavior are required. Please also note the need for lightweight strings as explained in the DVDs. We are new to dog training, however feel we are close to graduation. Regards Bronte H

Thanks for your input, I really appreciate it. I find that with the spin lock bar I have the collars are always coming loose.

I have not used it for that reason however this collar has changed the response time I have with my canine mix. No matter what she is doing, she turns her attention to me once I sound the buzzer. Best of luck to you.

I'm sorry, I no longer have the collar because of the reactions it caused. I believe it is a one size fits all. You cut off the length not needed.

If you are consistent and work with them a lot it will train them to walk politely with a normal collar. You can't just use the collar and then expect that they will know to translate that behavior to a regular one. There are training instructions provided in the package if I recall correctly. Personally I just this continually with my dog because it is safer than having the pressure on the neck.

Depends on what you are going to use it to train him to do or not to do. But the best way to use this style of training collar is by using voice reinforcement along with the "tone" key. I rarely have to use the shock feature anymore as I give a command and then beep the tone button. 9/10 times she responds positively because that was how I trained her. A verbal command, if I got no response, a beep then followed by a shock. She learned quickly that the tone would mean a shock if she didn't respond to the command.

Remember first, this is a training device not a cure all. You should remove the collar when in the home or if you are around to supervise her actions. Don't leave it on the dog turned off, this defeats the purpose. You and your children need to set aside 10 minutes a day and reinforce the positive result (treats, petting, lavish attention) when the collar is removed so she will still bark when appropriate (intruders, protecting...etc.) but not at certain times. It won't take long for her to associate her behaviors with the collar for certain times. Dogs are very smart and will pick up good, consistent training because you are the leader, the collar doesn't train her, it is only a tool. If you train her behaviors now you will only have to refresh her commands maybe once a week or month so she never forgets. But the collar I used for my cocker spaniel was only needed for 3-4 months. After that she had learned there was no barking at the required time of day (my work hours). I also taught her basic commands (sit, come, stay) and walked her consistently at specific times so she knew what was expected of her. It sounds hard but after a few weeks or months, dogs are conditioned in their thinking as long as YOU take control and it gets easier because they feel more secure.

I think that depends on how much you use the collar. Usually a few days, a week or more.

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?

Charlene, I just saw this today. I apologize for the delay. If you don't mind waiting another day, I will check tonight to see how small these collars can be adjusted, and I will let you know. I am still at work right now. My dogs are considerably bigger than a min pin and the adjustment is as large as it goes. I will let you know how small it will go.

I dont think she could because even if the harness part of the leash came undone cause of her backwards motion you still have to clip the leash to her regular collar so she couldn't get away from you.

My part sheltie rescue is now on his 3rd collar since May. I don't think he got hung and activated the breakaway feature. He has never slipped his standard collar.He is very active and outside a lot. It works well no fleas no attached ticks while wearing it. That's why I've replaced it 2 more times than I wanted to. If I replace it again I'm thinking about attaching it to the inside of his standard collar

It's really up to you but we have found it helpful to leave the collar on during the day and charge it at night. That way we re-attach it in the mornings and it provides us with some protection knowing that its there if we need to use it. Our dog seems to actually like the idea of wearing the collar because it provides him with more freedom to roam without being chained in one space or spot. Hope this helps.

Fred, I used this collar on my small dog, to help train him and I must say it got the job done. Only had to shock him once to get his attention, now all I need to do his put the collar on him and that take care of any behavioral problems. This $20.00 collar is worth every penny I paid for it. I hope this help you and believe me it works excellent.
