Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
PRO: My lab has always been a smart dog, easy to train. However I got deployed for 400 days and my family did not have time to keep teaching him and correcting him when he was bad. So bad habits like getting on the table for food happened, and having to tell him to sit more than once. With the Dogtra collar I am able to put him back into good standings with my wife, since he doesn't act up when I'm around (LOL he thinks I'm the alpha male.. if he only knew). I also have a wireless shock fence, but that didn't give him much room to run in the back yard. So I took the flags for that and walked him around showing him the flags and just vibrating his collar when he got too close to them. So now he has more room, and I'm not worried about him running over to the neighbors. I used the collar to shock him once for jumping up on people, haven't even needed it for that issue since. If anyone has anything bad to say about Dogtra I would immediately say they need to learn how to train their dog first. CON: I was reading some place that the device only has a few hours of use before you need to charge it for 10 hours. That's not true, but I guess that depends on how much you shock your dog. My charge last's two to three days. The "Nick" button doesn't really do anything for my dog. He just gets a look on his face that looks like he was wondering if he imagined getting shocked. If he's excited and bouncing off the walls the "Nick" button does nothing. Overall I would recommend this to anyone, and everyone. I got into trouble for buying this even though we "talked" about it costing too much, but now even my wife is recommending it to her friends.
