How long does the collar charge last?

I have only used it intermittently for two weeks, when I tale the puppy out to do her duty etc. and it is still on the first charge, probably using for 3/4 hours per day and it still is good. Just follow instructions for first time charge and you won't be disappointed.

We use ours for a one to two hours a day. Don't need to do too much correction but use tone a fair bit, but it has lasted over three weeks at this point. This question reminded me I should probably just plug it into the charger even through the status lights are both green, meaning good charge.

I have not ran out the battery yet on the collar but it seems to last a while.

A full charge lasts me 2 days. Love this charger! But I have a Jack Russell Terrier and I now have him trained to just tone it and he comes without shocking him

I have no idea, but I use mine 3-4x a day for 15 min at a time and go weeks between charging. A lot depends on if you are actively correcting the dog or just have it turned on.

The collar itself is rechargeable. The remote takes a regular 9volt battery

I have had several Sport Dog collars. The battery will last 1 or 2 days on a full charge. I have found that aftermarket batteries from Batteries Plus hold a charge longer and the battery itself has a longer lifespan. Therefore, when the battery starts to not hold a charge as long don't buy the replacements from Sport Dog go to batteries plus.They are around $20.00 new. The same is true for the transmitter but it will work for weeks without a recharge.

It really depends on your dog. You might want to try the spray rather than the collar - it will last longer.

I could go at least a week or two between charging with a 30-60 minute use each day. Please remember this is not a quality unit when it comes to waterproof usage. When water gets into the collar pack, it will malfunction, zapping your dog every few seconds on max strength until you get the collar off. Never leave unattended!!

It's really up to you but we have found it helpful to leave the collar on during the day and charge it at night. That way we re-attach it in the mornings and it provides us with some protection knowing that its there if we need to use it. Our dog seems to actually like the idea of wearing the collar because it provides him with more freedom to roam without being chained in one space or spot. Hope this helps.

I used one and it lasted 4 months. The second battery I had, which was purchased at same time, was inserted in collar and has worked fine for two months so far. Maybe you just got an older battery with not as much life.

I only bought one collar and it works great. I would send it back and ask for a replacement...most companies will replace it free of charge.

Absolutely, but the collar must be charged ever 1 or 2 days. Also, we found that vibrate alone was sufficient for our very unruly beagle.

I don't really know yet. I have used it for 2 weeks on the highest setting. My dog is persistent. I have seen her bark for 30 mins with the collar on. I know its shocking her cause I hear her yelp. She is just a barker who will not stop for anything. battery is not dead yet.

It has a built in battery that last for a very long time. I have been more than pleased with the battery life on this collar.

No, it is a collar & the device is attached. It is waterproof (have a bird dog) and chargeable but already it is not taking a charge in one side. One side is blue & the other red. Usually 2 blue when charged. Not sure what I can do. Don't use it every day....

It should last approx 30 days on or off the dog. The effectiveness during that period should not change due to taking it on and off. They say you can put it in a ziploc bag when off the dog to "save" it. I love the collars! Hope they are working well for you all! :)

The collar is rechargeable and works great! Great investment for the safety of our dogs!! Never had a problem with the dogs chewing the collar!

It lasts a longer time once your dog knows the boundary because it doesn't use extra to beep. Mine lasts almost a week and charges so quickly(about an hour). I have an American Bulldog who doesn't want to leave the area. I can now let him out and he knows the area without the collar. I only put it on him if I am not going to be near the window to spy on him. I love this product! My dog has the freedom to run around and is not confined to a rope or fence area.

Yes....both the transmitter and collar have rechargeable batteries. It comes with a charging unit. Collar should only be "on" dog or no more than 8 hours because of prongs, even though loosely attached. My dog's collar lasts for 3-4 days before needing charging. Really glad I bought this. I first bought a "cheapo" unit.......didn't hold up at all!
