Is the collar water proof?
754187
Idk if it works if you go in a pond, pool, etc, however my dogs wear there in collar out in the rain and snow and it has never been a problem. I have had this unit over 10 yrs and I just buy an extra collar when I get a new dog. The only down side is the batteries wear down much quickernow that they have switched it to the new battery size. The original collars used a 2032 size battery. The new ones are more expensive. I did get a 6 pack on Amazon for like $20 but if you buy in Petco type store they are about $10 for 2 . Fyi

Thank you for your question! As long as the battery, correction button cap and metal contact points are all tightly in place, this receiver collar is fully waterproof.

There are available connectors with a rubber boot over the top of the collar to make them "water proof" (water getting in through the collar end). For the exposed metal, I think it is fine, but if you're worried about weather exposure, just use vinyl electrical tape to wrap the collar end or the entire connector -- but it has to be done properly or water could make it in and get trapped (if unwrapped, any water would otherwise dry up).

I haven't had any issues at all with the collar while my dog was swimming. I took him duck hunting all season last year with no issues. Love this collar

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!!

Thank you for your question! The receiver collars for this Innotek System are waterproof.

No, it isn't water proof. My dog had bladder surgery and I allowed her to sleep on my bed as she has all along. She had an accident and wet the bed. I had to wash the cover. It is very comfy though... you might be able to find a waterproof sheet to put over it.

It's water "resistant"; not "truly" water proof. That stated unless you have a real "swimmer" like a waterfowl retriever this is still a very good product.

That's what the instruction state. I have never had it wet, but it is a heavy plastic collar and the electronics appear to be tightly enclosed.

I don't think so, but the dog's collar is accessible. The problem is that the shirt had no detectable effect.

yes, but my experience was that I had to secure the collar with a small zip tie. It wouldn't stay secure.

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.

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.

Sandra, thank you for your question! The collar for this system is waterproof and can withstand frequent dips in the lake. However, we do suggest to make sure that the battery compartment is sealed prior to putting the collar on your Lab each day. If the battery compartment is loose, water damage can occur.

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

My dog has gone in and out of a lake with it on, and it still works the same as when it was new. I would say "yes" to your question.I charge it every couple of days. The collar, itself, doesn't tell you when it is about ready to go out, but the control does have a gauge, so you know when it is time to plug it in again.

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! :-)

My dogs have been swimming in our pool and the collar is still good. As a matter of fact, they still have it on and its been months they have been wearing it and not one single tick or flea on them. So I would go as far as saying the collar works long after its past date.
