Hi, I have a couple German Shorthaired Pointers. One is 15 months, the other is 4 months.I have purchased the 425 model. The older one is knows right from wrong but at times she does not obey. With the collar, you do not have to keep requesting a command. You can hit the warning button and she will come, or anything else she has learned. No repetitive screaming ha. Only 3/4 times have I shocked her on level 1/2. It is a miracle how this works. I always thought of it being a bad thing. But when my dog goes over the fence, it was a miracle how well just having the collar on, it works.

It depends on how stuborn it is. I start low and work your way up. Sometimes it is necessary to to turn it all the way up and really let them have it at full power. Normally with my very large 87 pound 6 month old dog,I use it on 4. This not necessary all the time, but most of the time, just because he is big and tough. Now that I have him pretty well traind to stay in his area, etc. sometimes I just use the beeper, but is still needed on higher settings at times just to remind him who is boss. Never abuse the power. My dog has never been afraid of the collor, and it is easy to put it on after charging. He hears the beep when I turn it on and comes to sit down, so I can put his collor on.

I would start with a 1 or 2 the lowest possible setting for any dog is best. You only want to get there attention not hurt them or make them afraid of the collar. If this has the video or instruction guide you definitely want to read or watch it, it is very informative on home to pick the right setting.

My experience told me that the 425s would only be for dogs with an ultra high pain tolerance. The 425 seems quite powerful on its normal setting. You have the ability to increase the power level to a medium setting which would be way too much for my 80lb. lab. Keep in mind that one of the most important components is that you find the right tightness on the collar and mark it so that you put it on the same each time. This takes a few days to figure out. My experience was that it had to be tighter than I would have guessed.

The animal's attitude and willpower determines the model more than the breed. I have a very stubborn willful 8 year old pit mix, so I LOVE the 425S. It's also better to have more power and not need it, then not have enough. You can always use a low setting. That's why I got the 425S.

By having the "S" just means it is the more powerful of the 2. Dialing it down to the #1 setting is still pretty effective. Its like a strong static shock. And like I said, try it on yourself. (in your hand) so you know what your dog is experiencing. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. For the extra money it is well worth it..

I would say it would do it but you would be at the limit. I am not sure I would rule out the 425. To answer your question, yes it will do it.

Sorry, I don't know. We have only used the 25R and are very satisfied with it.

880 is a great starter BB gun for a child. They can then work their way to better BB guns such as the 25.

The Echo was my second choice bu frankly I would shop for nothing less than 90cc's after handling my yard guy's 90. Don't hesitate for going onn to higher displacements engines. 75 IS GREAT but 90 gets your heart aflutter.

I am not an expert. The 425 has a slightly longer range and the neck strap is slightly longer too. Really not enough to worry about

My roommate has the 425s and he said the 535s were noticeably better. I have only owned the 535s, however.

Buy the large. I ordered the med.but,was sent the large buy mistake. I tried to adjust it but my pit bull was way to small. Plus she is mising her front leg. Its a complecated device but well made. Plus you dont have to use the front and rear together if theres no need. Personally I would buy a simpler lift aid if I were you. But to answer the question the large will fit a rotty perfectly. I had a rotty yrs ago. Hope this helps. Also amazon gave me a full refund plus paid shiping. A very painless and prompt service...

Definitely. My Rottweiler is still a puppy and she is at 65lbs. We only put it on a 4...we will put it on a 5 if we are in a "traffic" area because she is so fixated on chasing cars. ONE time I had to do a 6 to keep her from running after a FedEx truck (she really hates those delivery trucks) and I felt awful because she let out a yelp! I've not put it that high since. If your 100lb dog has a very high pain tolerance, you can always turn it up (it goes to a level 8). Be prepared to replace the batteries pretty regularly. There is a HUGE pack they sell on Amazon :)

I have two cats. Our LR is now 1.5 years old. I did have to replace the base once under warranty. I do recommend the extra warranty. I was impressed with the service.

We have the large one but also large Rotti (90 lbs)! He doesn't fill it up! Small one should be fine for your puppy!

It's a conventional compressor unit, so it can get down to the mid 40s if that's what you want. I keep mine at 55 for reds.

Very nice solid low rider. Our little one is now two and is using his feeds on the floor to go forward. I think within a half a year he can really bike on it. The bike is very easy to turn around.

I think I recall it recommends 125# max, but we've had ours since last summer and everyone in the family has been on it from 40#'s to 200#'s - hope this helps!

The 252, I found, is adequate. 546 is over-kill. I am very pleased with the 252.

I am sure you received an answer to this question, but I'll answer anyway. The SE425 IS the same machine as the SE400. The 425 was a special package that is a 400 with an extra disc of 100 designs. Otherwise, it's the same machine and all SE400 items will fit it.
