Have you ever used an electronic collar before? It is a tool, and like any good tool it can be useful if used correctly. Whether or not it is effective will depend on how much experience you have with using this device and training dogs in general. If you have a dog who is exhibiting some unwanted behavior, this is a good tool as it has the vibrate feature to get their attention so you get an opportunity to correct it without using the shock feature. I have used this collar with a deaf border collie as a way to get her attention when off leash and it has worked well for that purpose, although it seems like at times the vibration is not quite strong enough to get her mind back to me. Hope this helps. Have you ever used an electronic collar before? It is a tool, and like any good tool it can be useful if used correctly.

You have to be near your pet. You could use it from a distance but it won't be as effective.

I have a husky, Product listed here is fake, real furminator works well, but honestly. .. Far cheaper products will work just as well, is nothing amazing, grab an undercoat rake and something easy to yank hair out of for a brush and call it a day, the eject hair Button is a nice concept but it just doesn't work, you end up pulling it out anyway ,

If your dog is responding to this unit great, if not please don't use it, and return it..

So here is my opinion. I love it because it allowed my dog to learn to walk again, however it isn't easy to use. It does not collapse, it is bulky, but not heavy. Your dog will always need help getting in and out of it and it takes patient for both owner & dog to get used to putting it on and off. Once it is on, its fantastic. Not as user friendly as most would hope. Good luck!!

he/she wouldn't like it and there are better things on the market to correct excessive barking. This unit "repels" an animal .. you surely don't want your pet to run from you when they bark. I'd suggest a "shock" collar or something like that. Shock collars are more expensive but invaluable tools. Don't buy expensive though as using a shock collar once or twice is all you need. Good luck.

Sorry to be so long answering. I think you would need the large size. I see it is on sale now, so might be a good time to try it. Some people seemed to find it quite helpful. And I am sure as most dog lovers, we are willing to try anything to help our best friends!

Is it safe to use for tethering a dog to a seatbelt using the back ring? I don't believe this product was ever designed for that purpose. The straps are not that wide, so if the dog were to be restrained during an accident, I don't imagine that it would feel too good for the dog. My answer for that would have to be NO. I will say, that the intended purpose for use with dogs that pull has worked wonderfully for my 9 month old boxer dog. Of course, having an excellent trainer direct us didn't hurt either, but this harness is comfortable for dogs and works. I would definitely recommend this harness and proper positive reinforcement techniques together to correct pulling.

Use an invisible fence inside of your other fence. I saw inside because for me one thing I don't like about them is your dog may not go out of the yard but other dogs & people can come in. I used one inside of my other fence for a dog who would climb or scale any fence I put him in. Depending on your breed also you may want to trade the regular collar in for a "stubborn dog" collar. I have Rhodesian Ridgebacks & this male when he had the regular collar on just stood there getting zapped & looked at me like - ya right you think this will keep me in? Only 1 of my boys went thru it w/stbn collar on & he thought I needed him. I purchased not the "brand" name invisible fence a cheaper one. Just make sure if you get the wire kind to set it all down FIRST before permnantly installing! Also watch the training video & read the booklet & make sure you train the dog correctly. Do exactly as it says don't cut corners. The newest ones out that are wireless are incredible but a lot more expensive. What is your breed of dog? That would be my best suggestion. Otherwise you will have to secure your fence on the bottom with like 2x4's around the outside nailed to posts. Have a much heavier fence installed & high enough the dog doesn't jump and the weave close enough so he can't climb. The invisible fence would be cheaper & I think a better solution. One other thing I know someone who had a Boxer & theirs got a short in it & the dog stayed right in the circled area. Many folks tell me this they shut theirs off after a while & dog stays right in the boundries. Not so with a RR my two boys checked it every day to make sure it was working. My husband did not ground a new one we put in after moving & it got zapped & ruined (make sure you do that!) & one of my boys knew it was off in less than 1/2 hour & was out.

I'm not an expert here, but the "clips" are wider than for humans. It's not as "quiet" as they said and that was very upsetting for me. I bought it especially for our cats because comments said it was quiet, but they were upset with the noise. It did get stuck once on our Tortie's fur. I wouldn't advice it at all to use on a human. Maybe someone with more experience might be able to answer better than I did.

I'm sorry, I'm an old timer, don't know what "HO" is, but I can tell you is hotter than hell; I use it not for culinary purposes, but to combat inconsiderate dog owners that don't pick up after their pets; simply spread it thin in the front yard and it keeps all animals away. After doing this, if I wear shorts, my legs will burn for quite some time. This stuff is like hot lava!

I really wanted this to work because I have a 60lb bulldog/bassett mix who pulls terribly. First, it took is over 20 minutes to figure out how to get it on as the directions are only pics. Second, when we finally did have it on securely, the dog pretty much slipped right out of it the moment we headed out. We went through this process on three separate, by two different people thinking we missed a step, and perhaps we did, but all three experiences led us to never use it again. I could see that it would work if easier to get it properly placed and fitted on your dog. It was probably owners misuse.......I don't know, but it wasn't easy for us that's for sure I really wanted this to work because I have a 60lb bulldog/bassett mix who pulls terribly.

it gives out a loud high pitched squeal to warn them first and then if they keep it up, on the second time they do it it sends out a small shock.. I wouldn't use one on a little dog, but I have a 120lb. German Shepherd so, It worked great.. it completely brokeher of the barking for no reason very quickly.. I would guess it depends on how smart the dog is whether they can figure out its fromthe barking that there getting a jolt from.. I hope that helps.

This is a cloth/cheap foam portable dog house for INSIDE YOUR HOUSE. Put in on your couch or on the floor by the TV or your bed. It is like a mini den for dogs that like a mini-den. I would not use it outside--to flimsy for that, too hard to clean off bird crap--get something wood or plastic with vents for an outdoor dog house.

Michelle....my good dogs show absolutely no reaction to this apparatus. Neither do the yappy dogs next door. I have yet to find a dog that even reacts to it at all. Keep your money or buy some ear plugs....j

Absolutely---Yes. That is exactly why I bought one. I had serious doubts about it, but it works very well. It has not bothered my dog at all either.
