SportDOG Brand WetlandHunter 425X Camouflage Remote Trainer - Rechargeable Dog Training Collar with Shock, Vibrate, and Tone - 500 Yard Range - SD-425XCAMO

Purchased for use with my lab on the farm and while hiking or riding horses, we have many acres for him to explore and roam. As he is still a pup, having the ability to recall him from a far distance lets him explore and have fun but also not be able to ignore commands. Included instructions and usage guide helped me set the remote to the setting I wanted, there are several modes but I use the tone/vibrate mode as primary. I have zapped him but only up to a 1 continuous while chasing cats, that little bit is just enough for him to be reminded to listen and follow. He knew his commands very well on and off leash when in close proximity to me but when he gets the okay to go on ahead while on the trail, the ecollar is a great tool for both of our securities to be able to reinforce the commands from afar. This collar is not a replacement for taking the time on a leash to learn commands and build a relationship with your dog. The collar is a biothane collar with unit on, neither chafes my dog, we use it daily, his regular fit hole shows no sign of wear. Both unit and remote are rechargeable, the cord is a 2 tail charger which is fabulous, both items can charge at the same time. Remote has an included lanyard, I have it tied up and on a carabiner clipped to my dog bag for ease of use while riding horses. Overall I do recommend making the investment. I purchased this wetland model over others because I have a lab and he gets in water at every chance, I figure every little bit of waterproof ability is worth it.

These are easy/peezy to use. Helped train a dog that killed chickens. Works well. So far…. Helped chickens…. Recommend

This works great on my lab. I only need to give him the tone/ vibrate and he returns to check in with me. I would recommend

Works as advertised, only gripe if left on my dog's neck long, the prongs dig into his skin creating a sore. Must be taken off regularly and do not overtighten the collar. I use it for hunting and to control barking. Good range of the remote.

Works well, more than what I expected.
