My dog is a lab and jumps in the lake often. Will this hold against being submerged in water several times a day?

Sandra, thank you for your question! The collar for this system is waterproof and can withstand frequent dips in the lake. However, we do suggest to make sure that the battery compartment is sealed prior to putting the collar on your Lab each day. If the battery compartment is loose, water damage can occur.

It's watetproof. My golden loves the water too. He's even crammed it into the snow. Always make sure the cover to the charging space is in completely. Good luck.

Hi, we never submerged the collar. Our problem with dog was in the house getting into cats food. We also have the Petsafe underground fence and that collar is very similar to the remote training collar and we've had that collar wet with no problems. It's almost 7yrs old now and still works like new. Petsafe products seem to be very well made. I hope this helps.

I have two ten pound poodles, and put them in a wire carrier (got it here) that fits right inside the basket, and I've gone at least 200 miles with them in back over the years, and the basket is still rock solid. I worry about them jumping out, but if yours is trained to stay in under any conditons, I'm sure it would hold him... just be sure you have a "floor" of cardboard or carpeting on the wire.

I think it stays put pretty good. Even after my dog's been laying on it and jumps off, it's still in the same place.

It will not float. you can attach your dog to the unit but if it's a big dog the dog will pull it around.

Yes, we have a lab that is in the pool all the time and the basket often has hair in it. The mesh is pretty fine, so you'll have to empty out the dog hair pretty often.

I was it weekly and have had it for six months (for my dog) It is holding up very well. As long as the puppy doesn't chew it up it should be fine.

I think your dog would enjoy this one. Even more if your dog loves water. My 2 puppies love this and even more today because of the snow outside. I would give it a try and if he turns his face away maybe put a little bit of peanut butter under it. Good luck!

It comes with stakes to hold it in place. if you have it on concrete, you may need to come up with a different solution (I've filled 5 gallon pails with water and tied ropes to the gates on 4 sides) I think it depends upon your dog whether it will stay in. I have 75 pound golden retrievers, and it holds them in. If you have a dog that keeps jumping up on the sides, it might be a problem. Ex pens are not for all-day unsupervised containment. But it's a fantastic product at a reasonable price compared to others I've had.

I don't believe that it is waterproof in the sense that it can go underwater. It is a training tool to be used during training for short periods of time. You shouldn't leave it on the dog for extended periods of time. We have used ours in the snow and the rain and it functions properly.

The official word from the manufacture is "water tight". I wouldn't drop it in the lake just for fun, but holds up to nasty weather just fine.

I believe the plug will hold however it is narrow and would be difficult for a dog to get in and out. I would recommend a shorter, wider steel tub or even a child's wading pool that the dog can lie down in.

I would say Yes that a dog of any size would have difficulty climbing onto this board due to the thickness. The dog may not be able to get enough leverage to pull itself up out of the water.

Pretty much. My DOG isn't a swimmer but she's in and out of her kiddie pool. I usually reapply once or twice depending how long she's outdoors.

I have an 80 lb. lab and mine has held up very well . I keep it under her outdoor shed , so it's out of the weather. I have had it 7 or 8 months. She likes it. no problems

I have never submerged it in water completely. But I have used it in the snow/rain and it still works fine. Pretty durable,I was really happy with this product.

The SportDog 350 is waterproof down to 25 feet. This is true for the device that goes on the dog and the device you hold in your hand.My lab swims almost every day and there has been no problems at all.
