What is the difference between this and the Petsafe one? Is it effective on large dogs with long muzzles?

I'm not sure about that. But this item is awful, it doesn't work. I used it 4 times and it broke. Plus it didn't stop my dachshund from barking. Hope this helps.

I don't know the difference, I assume they work the same, my last refill was the pet safe brand and it worked fine with the dogtek brand. and yes it works for long muzzles, we are very happy with the product.

It is a very small muzzle.. I would get one of the elizabethan collars (the cone) that way your dog could still breathe through his mouth and just not be able to bite himself. Hope he gets better soon! :)

We have the PetSafe Wireless Containment System PIF-300 and it worked fine with the receiver we had. The original collar was cut short for a smaller dog, but we now needed it for a very large dog, so we got this replacement collar. It's not quite as wide as the one that came with the PetSafe system, but it's worked fine on a mastiff.

I am not sure of the answer. Mine seems to pick up the deep bark of a big dog, but even with fairly high sensitivity doesn't pick up the yap of a little dog. Same with the results---it seems to work on the bigger dog, but not the little dog next door....Maybe some dogs are stupid and don't equate the dog silencer noise with the barking? Overall, it seems like it has some effect on the neighbor's dogs since they tend to go to the other side of their house to bark more often!

Typically about 20-30 feet. It seems to be more effective on larger dogs. I've seen it work at 100 feet on a very sensitive dog in the neighborhood.

I wouldn't trust it. Although it works pretty well on a medium size dog in attack mode, it did not stop the dog. The dog shook its head two or three times, then continued its attack. Don't trust anything that you don't know for a fact will stop S.T.O.P. any creature/critter in attack mode.

I have not used it on my dogs. The last purchase I made was for PetArmor, and I am happy with that. After two weeks, it is still working.

Hi Mark, For big dogs like the great dane we would recommend the SD-425S, it is a trainer for large dogs (over 100lbs) as well as stubborn dogs. You can find there here:

The 400s is for stubborn dogs. The zap is a bit stronger on all settings. I love it and would recommend it I went off leash after 3 weeks of using it

I actually just called the company and they said there is no difference between the two models. They just market them differently for those people who have small dogs or cats. So go with the cheaper one (small version)!

The Giant FURminator with a 5" edge is listed as being for dogs over 90 lbs I use the large tool with a 4" edge for dogs over 50lbs. My biggest dog is 70 lbs and it does the job.

No, this training device is too large for a ten pound dog. I believe Petsafe makes a version for smaller dogs.

I find the prong collars much more effective than standard pinch collars. If you have a strong muscular dog, a pinch collar may not provide much correction. You see owners pulling on the pinch collar with way to much force and this only pinches the skin between the chain links. Prong collars link this one gives even pressure with much less force. too much force will hurt your dog. Only a slight tug with command "walk" keeps my dog close to me while walking. She is only 10 months old and I am working her off the prong collar now and she stays by me with just the "walk" command. The chrome polish from the pinch collars flakes off from use. I find much more correction is needed with pinch collars than prong. I find the prong collars much more effective than standard pinch collars.

I purchased it for some friends with a seven pound dog and it was safe as well as effective. The dog may act like you've killed it but it's because it is startled. I tried it on myself and it will make you jump but it doesn't really hurt. It vibrates for just a moment when you push the button.

I have a Rottie that didn't like brushes and combs, tried to bite them every time. Tried the furminator and he didn't even flinch. There are different Furminators for long and short hair, small, large and giant dogs. It was worth the price. Removes massive amounts of hair.

The version I bought and received is the large trap. But my cousin has the small trap, and they both do the job for gophers. The small one has the advantage of fitting into a smaller hole. These traps are really effective. I have killed at least 14 gophers with my two traps.
