PetSpy P620 Easy & Effective Adjustable Waterproof Dog Training Collar

Bought this for our Setter-Lab, Eros. Works great! We can get his attention easily and rarely have to go past "beep". He knows that the "buzz"means he needs to do what he's told and not to make us escalate to the "zap". We've only had to use the "zap" twice, otherwise he's gotten great at coming, sit, stay and "get out of there". We live on a 40 acre ranch and, because of this collar, he has more freedom than ever. We no longer have to tie him up, fence him in or chase him down. Excellent range, holds a good charge, definitely a great purchase! When we pick it up, Eros gets excited to put it on because he knows we're going outside and he can play while we work. I would recommend this for anyone Bought this for our Setter-Lab, Eros.

I purchased this collar 10 days ago. I fully charged it according to the directions and on day 2 I noticed the shock feature not working. Once that first initial charge ran out, it has not held a full charge. For example, I fully charged it yesterday afternoon. Unplugged it and left it sitting on the counter overnight, as the directions say not to overcharge. When I woke up in the morning it was already completely dead. Do not buy this. This is my 2nd time purchasing an electric collar that doesn’t work.

We've been using this collar for a few days now and thus far it's been great! The remote feels a little light and "cheap" to me personally but it does it's job. The collar itself feels like a really nice quality with a metal buckle and sleek rubber and fits both my dogs (who are very different in size, one is a corgi and the other is a German Shepherd mix. We got it primarily for our Corgi though) and after we were sure we got just the right fit we cut off the remaining "tail" of the collar. It even had grooves to cut along just for that which I though was a nice addition. As far as how well it works, the beeping gets my dog's attention and the vibration works as expected.

It even had grooves to cut along just for that which I though was a nice addition. As far as how well it works, the beeping gets my dog's attention and the vibration works as expected. Sometimes if my dog is laying down he blocks the receiver though and we can't hear the beeps. The shock seems a bit strong, even on low levels, but that may just be my dog, every dog is different. Usually my dog works well at a 2, sometimes needing a 3-4 if he's distracted. He kind of winces at a 2 and at a few points he cried at a 4 but after testing it on myself I can say a 4 doesn't really hurt. It's uncomfortable for sure and I wanted it to stop immediately, but that's kind of the point. It definitely didn't make me want to cry or yell or anything though. I have not tested the waterproof abilities yet and don't intend to, but it does give me some peace of mind. After just a few days my dog's "Heel" has gone from "meh" to "WOW" He no longer stops to sniff every other leaf, he stays by my heel instead of lagging behind or going ahead of me and he stops and sits when I stop. He still gets distracted and breaks the heel for people, but we're working on that. He also will "Hush" when told now instead of carrying on barking, which was the biggest reason we got the collar, and it's helped him learn not to break his "Stay" until told. It's also really come in handy for calling him from a distance with the beeps. I do suggest heavily researching E-collar training before you do it though. If done improperly it can make your dog fearful and reactive and you really don't want to just throw one on and start shocking your dog when they don't understand what that means. I suggest YouTube videos, which have helped us a ton! I will update this review over time should anything change, but so far I'm impressed considering this was one of the cheaper collars. We didn't want to go for the cheapest and get a crappy one and we didn't want to spring for an expensive $100+ one just yet without knowing if our dog would do well with e-collar training. This one was just right for testing the waters. … more

All I can say so far so good. I'm am a man who dislikes using any kind of shock collar. But after talking to trainers,friends who have a large breed fur baby well it works. I never tell anyone to take a review as a buying tool. I say if you like it buy it because you are the only one that can tell if it's a good fit for you and your fur baby. In our case our 7 month old German Shepherd puppy Max is very high strung. But when we put the collar on his wow what a difference. I bought a cheaper version of a collar all that can be said about that one is not a good choice. I won't bad mouth another competitors products. That's why I don't put their name in here.

I'll wait and use the training collar for a bit and give you an unbiased report. Until then stay safe and well George C. Florida … more

I got this collar for my dog to help tweak some bad habits. After testing this item on myself a couple of times to make sure it worked and wouldn't be too intense (I got to level 4/16, boyfriend 7/16) we both understood how it would feel on the dog. We used it on him and due to his fur thickness, the collar is not effective for him at all, and does not feel it.

This did not work on Roscoe, I would say No Bark and shock him when he barked and he would just ignore it and bark again. Just was not the appropriate way to train him. I am sure it works on some animals just not mine.

Excellent Training Aid and my Border Collie/Lab Mix responds very well to just the Tone Portion and the Vibrate. The Unit seems to be quality built and the training instructions are spot on.

Very disappointed! I received this in August and now it’s October and it’s not working!! When it worked it was great.

Bought this product a year ago and has been working well. Shortly after the 1 year warranty period ended, the remote began to malfunction for no explainable reason (backlight won't turn off, buttons don't work consistently). Uncanny. Per their customer service, the only solution is to purchase a new remote.

Shock does not work on my golden retriever. Even with the collar extremely tight, he does not feel a shock.
