I have another trainer collar for my 65 lb. healer mix. It’s a Sport dog collar made by the brand, Innotek. It is what I would classify as “RECHARGEABLE” because the collar itself is what you plug into the charger. You must put batteries in the remote, but I’ve had the product now for over a year and haven’t bought new batteries yet. I just purchased this collar by Petsafe. I have to say, I’m a little Pi**ed off. The collar DOES NOT plug into the charger. It has a little “battery pack” that is housed in a plastic shell which fits into the collar. (Notice, they sell these battery packs on Amazon) Of course, you cannot just go out to the hardware store and buy batteries when the ones you have die, because you have to have the petsafe EXTRA SPECIAL battery thing-a-ma-jigger. Really, it’s just another way to rip off consumers since the collar itself is what requires the most juice, I assume I will be needing new batteries quite often. Plus, my collar came with dead batteries. Charming.
HOWEVER! I am a resourceful and defiant woman so I used my handy dandy hobby snips and a pair of pliers and trimmed off the plastic around the top of the plastic battery housing. I removed the battery and then just to make sure it still worked, popped it back in. Then I went and bought a pack of two standard electronic batteries and put them in. VOILA! F**k off Petsafe! P.S. Don’t forget to RECYCLE old batteries, they are extremely toxic!
BOTTOM LINE: Buy some hobby snips and pliers.
ANOTHER BOTTOM LINE: Other than an attempt to outwit a goddess of brilliance, Petsafe has made pretty cool little collar. It’s the only one that has a 400yd. range and also provides the ‘tone only’ option. Wonderbar! Buy it! But BEWARE!!!! Dun dun dun dun…

The unit that hangs around the neck is very heavy. So heavy, in fact, that I have not used it so far. Also, I did not expect to have to shave the neck to create a contact for the two prongs that are supposed to make contact. This is not at all what I expected.

If you want this collar to train your dog not to bark, then save your money and don’t purchase this junk, it had zero affect on my dog. I’m sure there is something better out there, this aint it though.

problem was that you should prepare to buy one every year, a few days after its anniversary. Maybe the weather, the constant motion, etc just kills it. And like most dogs, without reinforcement, old habits die hard.

I bought this collar at the recommendation of our dog trainer. It worked for exactly 3 days before the spray mechanism stopped spraying. After numerous attempts to resolve the issue with the seller I opted for a paypal refund and purchased another one. The second one lasted all of 4 weeks and it also stopped spraying.
We weren’t excessive sprayers, and even if we were the product should be designed to last somewhat longer than one refill.
I couldn’t be less happy with this product or the manufacturer.
