So, once you put this collar on your dog, you basically just remove it after 8 months...It's that simple?

Yes! This is how it should work. If you did read my review it does not work! Ticks on my dogs from the start and fleas after about 2 month. Never again - waste of money!My dogs did not swim or get bathed. Collar was put on correctly and never removed.... just did not do what it claims to do!

So far I have just put collars on my 2 dogs. The fleas were gone by the next day. No more discomfort for them. I will leave the collars on until Dec. Then purchase 2 more to put on in April. Nina Burke

Yes, it's just that easy, it takes 24 hours to take complete effect . Totally worth it. I have never been so impressed by a product.

My sister and I have found these work a lot longer than 8 months! I would keep it on and keep checking for evidence of fleas.

That's what Bayer's website says. Both dogs are still tick free after approximately 1 month (the first 2 weeks my outdoor lab did have a few). I will remove them in November (5 months wear) because it will be too cold for ticks. I was planning to store them in their original container & put them back on in May. I do not know if they will still work or not. However, I still feel I got my money's worth either way. Expensive topicals like Advantix did not repel my outdoor dogs ticks. Good luck!

Based on what I've read; you are supposed to be able to wean them off of the collar. What I do is I work with him with the collar on and then I drop the leash and work with him using verbal commands to see how he "listens". I'm able to step on the leash or pick it back up to correct him if need be. I still use the collar; but, I've only been using it a month or so. I do not need to use it as often as he is learning and listening to my verbal commands. He is only 6 months old; so, I assume I'll be using it for several months. I have another collar on him with all of his dog tags; but, I attach the leash to the command collar. I hope this helps.

They say about 6 months to a year...ours lasted almost 2 years. They are awesome collars. After spending and spending on all the hype and glam of the other crap...as cheap as these are, they really really work. If your thinking on it, Do It! They really are that good! Hope this helps. If you need any other info, be happy to give it.

For our dogs, we are able to have the collars off at times. It depends on breed and temperament of course. Once they were trained to stop going off the property (we are on a ten acre farm) or stop chasing people (and their dogs) walking by our farm... the dogs only had to wear them and it was a reminder to obey. Then we could even take them off and they would listen and come back when called. After a couple of months our dogs did seem to forget the training and would start to wander. We just put them back on and have a refresher course for a few days. I will say that we have hardly ever had to use the shock button... the vibrate is very effective.

Yes, 6-8 months. We had ours on the dogs for about 9 months & they seemed to work that long. We will be buying more of them this spring.

Collar is fully adjustable and will definitly fit you 8" requirement. And yes, the collar can be easily replaced if required.

I'd recommend this collar. I didn't think it would work well (on blue heeler) but it's worked great for 4 months (and counting) now. I only charged it about 4 times too.

It's a collar on its own. No need to use another collar with this one. You can hook your leash and dog tags to the loop and go.

To the best of my knowledge, taking the collar off of the dog during its 30 day active lifespan does not decrease its effectiveness.

We only put it on him when needed. This has worked, because when we put it on her understands the collar is on and he can get a vibration shock, so he behaves without even having to use the vibration. Which we have only had to use the vibration and have never had to actually shock him, the vibration worked enough.

I really don't know. Our dog won't bark now when I put the collar on and don't even turn it on. Sometimes if he is barking I will just show him the collar and say "do you want me to put this collar on you?" and he will stop. I don't know you would use it without the collar as you have to inject this directly into the collar as it doesn't have a spray type nozzle..

Yes, you can put it over their head as a 2nd collar. I use it as a 2nd collar when it's dark but it is quite sturdy to be a full time collar. It's very easy to take off, detach or unhook. It is adjustable to make it tighter or looser. Not sure how long the batter will last or if it's waterproof, but for the price, who cares. It's a bargain. Buy 2 or 3 or 4 and keep them as spares. I have 3 dogs and will buy more as needed.

Hi, I leave the collar only if needed. For example I used it for almost a week everyday and now my dog knows when she is not behaving properly just with looking at the collar, also if I put the collar she also knows she did something wrong and she behaves without using any vibration anymore.

My dog has been sleeping in my bed with this collar for 8 months. No issues here at all. Buying a new collar now.

Your fur baby's collar goes thru loops in the collar..Then it just Velcro's on. My Brittany wore it with no problem for 10 days.

Thank you for your question! Once the battery is in place, the collar is ready to be set and used. Please know that we do recommend to spend some time in training your pet with this system.

The collar will go into a sleep mode after a few minutes (not sure how many) but all you need to do is touch the mode button & it is ready to go again. Great collar & easy on the dogs. You don't have to get aggressive with it.
