Are the collars waterproof? We have labs that swim every day and need the collars to work if they get wet repeatedly!

We wound up returning the collars. One malfunctioned after two weeks of use, by constantly vibrating.

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.

Brand new you can get about 2 days but then that depends on how often used.We just plug in at night . This is the second double we have had. Our dogs go swimming a lot and one of the collars got wet one 2 many times lasted about five years with one set of replacement batteries.Here is a tip we did learn to use black electric tape to cover the charge plug on the collars to make sure it stays closed while the dogs are swimming.

it does appear to be.....i have a lab (loves water).....keeps working.....only bad thing is he chewed through the collar and part of the shocker so we aren't sure if it actually still works......but i would definitely agree that it is water proof

I don't know the answer to that question. I do know that when I bathe my dogs, I take the collar off and once they are dry, I put them back on.

Here are my thoughts on your question. My dogs are 10 and 13 lbs. neither one really likes to go outside except to do their business (and not always then). What I can guess about your situation is this...The tags are attached with a cloth and Velcro wrap that goes around the collar. I'm not confident that they would stay on with no trouble on a very active rough and tumble kind of dog. But, I do think they could easily be stitched to the collar in a couple of places and this would alleviate any problems from arising. They have heavy duty needles and thread that could work easily. A regular needle may even do the trick. They are really cool tags and worth the little bit of extra effort, I think.

Hello, I have not had a problem with these collars, I have a 60# lab youngster that has not broken it. I have used these collars for 3 years an have not had any problems with them on any of our dogs. I would highly recommend them to you.

There are available connectors with a rubber boot over the top of the collar to make them "water proof" (water getting in through the collar end). For the exposed metal, I think it is fine, but if you're worried about weather exposure, just use vinyl electrical tape to wrap the collar end or the entire connector -- but it has to be done properly or water could make it in and get trapped (if unwrapped, any water would otherwise dry up).

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.

In my experience, it has been water resistant but not water PROOF. I accidentally let my dog swim with the collar on and had to let it dry out before it worked again.

I really don't know as this has not been a problem with our two dogs. I would think that if the dog doesn't chew on the collar it wouldn't be a problem, but then I can't say for sure. Your best bet would be to contact the company and ask them this question. We keep the collars pretty snug on our dogs too.

Yes water does not affect the collar. But from my experience the collar did not work at all on my puppy. He continued to bark and act the same with or without it. He did like using it as a chew toy.

As far as wet hair and occasional drooling go, yes they are waterproof. However, I haven't tried them in the pool yet.

Thank you for your question! The receiver collars for this Innotek System are waterproof.

The collar is not water proof and will stay wet until it dries, Check with your doctor, I suggest you buy two and switch after the shower.

I just got mine but not had to wash yet. I would say Yes! I really don't don't know why you couldn't wash them since they are embroided on. We love these collars!!

Yes, they fall off constantly during use. I re-tighten them between every set. I've gone as far as wrapping the threads in tape to give the collars some friction.
