I have 3 Labs. Will this still work when they jump in the lake? Thanks!

I am truly sorry that I do not know the answer to that question. The dog with the collar never got the chance to jump in a lake.

I don't know, my lab never jumped into a lake he was an apartment dog. I just know that after putting this on, I never ever had another tick problem. He wore the collar for the rest of his life.

instructions say to remove it whenever possible when they are going in the water.

Yes! They are waterproof. We have a lake house and swimming dogs. The dogs have also gotten ticks there without the collars.

Yes. I have 2 lab mixes & I only take them off to bathe them. Been using them for about 15 years & have never been disappointed.

If it doesn't work with the dog, it will work with owner. It does give a good squirt. Just one thing, it only water one pass. It does not stay on for more that 4 seconds. Then, it needs 8 seconds to reset and do it again.

You know my dogs went thew streams here and I never had any problem with them not working but I will say get a battery changing regement in place because if I remeber right their can be accadentail discarges as they get low and water is an excellent conductor to excellence what I did because I had three dogs as I look for one that had two collars and then bought the third collarbut it wasn't cheap and neither was the batteries and if your power goes off to the main unit take the collars off the dogs as it might reset the boundaries and shock dogs accidentally I found that out the hard way

I have weimaraners 12 and a 10 years old. Cannot get the older one to go up the ramp at the angle it has to be to get into the car. since they are both still able to jump, I gave up. we practiced lower angles and that worked. the surface has good gripping stuff but mine just balked at the height.

Absolutely! My dogs are in the water a lot, splashing and shallow immersion of the collars, no problems. Good product.

Hi Mel,When we are at the lake house our dog spends almost every waking minute in the water swimming for tennis balls. The collars have been great in the water, if he starts to stray a little I just use the beep to get his attention. I bought the 2 dog system for our one dog so I could alternate the collars, and I'm glad I did.

No-I have 3 pugs that will jump at it sometimes and it hasn't been pushed over.

Probably not. I learned a trick from a trainer: whenever a dog jumps at you, hold his both paws longer than he is comfortable with, say... a minute. Dogs don't like to be constrained. After some jumps, they associate jumping with being held still by the paws, and stop doing it. If does not work, I would ask a trainer, or a vet. SPCA has great free suggestions for training dogs out of bad habits. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

Idk if it works if you go in a pond, pool, etc, however my dogs wear there in collar out in the rain and snow and it has never been a problem. I have had this unit over 10 yrs and I just buy an extra collar when I get a new dog. The only down side is the batteries wear down much quickernow that they have switched it to the new battery size. The original collars used a 2032 size battery. The new ones are more expensive. I did get a 6 pack on Amazon for like $20 but if you buy in Petco type store they are about $10 for 2 . Fyi

My dogs' swim in the lake all summer!!! I actually use a key ring or tie wrap to secure the tag in place. I do this to ensure it won't fall off. Sometimes the plastic tag will crack and the tag falls off. I just punch another hole and reattach (I've been fortunate enough to find it in the yard). It's not to hard to visualize the tags hanging from the collar for monitoring if they do come off.

I've got 3 malamutes and it works great. It will make noise sometimes but, mine are Albright with it.

Absolutely. I was surprised that it works so well. We have 2 labs & it's worth every penny.

It might. The video with the training techniques is helpful if you follow the instruction and training consistently. My 3 year old schnauzer-terrier mix learned quickly not to pull on the leash. It wasn't not effective at teaching him not to jump on people or 'counter-surf' to steal food. We used the techniques from the video and got a shock collar. It only took two zaps to teach him and an occasional buzz of sound to remind him and he rarely jumps! So the collar works for mild-mannered dogs but the technique works for more rambunctious fellow.

Sergio - I have 2 pugs that would jump on anyone that came to the house and I could no get them to stop until they decided to calm down on their own. Once I put the collar on, they learned not to jump quickly. After a while of taking the collar off, all I would have to do was grab the remote so they could see it and they would immediately settle down. I also used it to get them to not walk on the pool cover. Again, they learned quickly. I don't know much about the rat terroir breed by I think it's worth a try. I kept the setting very low so it was just enough to get their attention. Hope this helps and good luck!

There are 5 levels of correction. My dogs are 25 pounds and they jump right up in the air like their are on fire when it's on level 2. Make sure you follow the steps for training. It's a pain at first, but well worth it !

Depending how close to the edge they push Down on. If our dog steps on the edge it will dump. Unless it flips all the way over water stays in on edge
