All that we expected and more
Woah! I have been a trainer for many years and always felt "shock" collars weren't the humane way to train until our new dog just wouldn't stop barking for no reason. I tried the vibrate and the "shock" mode on myself before I put it on her. 1st, Vibrate mode is a soft shake of the device. My kids and I had fun passing it around to try each level. 2nd, "Shock" mode isn't the type of shock these devices used to have. It's static shock, like dragging your feet across the floor and then touching someone hoping there's a shock for fun. Level 100 isn't fun...... Just FYI. And no I did not let my kids try shock mode. In one day our dog stopped ALL bad behavior. I only used the shock mode once. I start with asking her to stop barking and use the beep mode. She didn't listen so I used the vibrate level 50. She was confused and continued to bark a little. I gave her the enough command to stop and gave her the shock mode level 50. She immediately laid down and stopped. I've never used shock mode since. She is very smart and learned the beep means business. I'd say 90% of the time she listens with the beep and the other 10% is just vibrate on level 25. I ONLY wanted it for problem barking but she is an absolute angel in all ways. She doesn't even beg for food anymore or ambush family when they walk in. She's calmed down and is also more gentle with my kids. She's still the happy, goofy, 90 pound Bernese Mountain Dog she always was but with manners. It's only been 3 days and everyone is very pleased with the results. I love that the seller contacted us twice to make sure all was well. It was easy to set up and use as well. I couldn't be happier to be able to have conversations with folks outside and not have her barking like a psychopath. My dog is the good dog on the block now 🐾♥
