How dependable is this collar. My last one lasted less than 90 days even after replacing the battery?

Ours worked beautifully for about a month, then seemed to loose effectiveness. I did refill the cartridge several times and replaced the battery. I needed up buying another one.

We have had ours a couple years and use it every weekday on our Basset while we are at work. She is not much of a barker (thank you, citronella collar!) so it doesn't take much of a beating. 90 days sounds like either you had a lemon or the manufacturer was questionable.

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

Honestly, I stopped using it because my dog would bark it out of spray and continue to bark so, it didn't work for him.

Friend of mine has had hers for over two years, the good news it works with 9 volt so they last a bit and are much cheaper than the bark collar batteries.

Mine came with just one collar. I ordered another from a different vendor. I highly suggest you get on the battery renewal program. Every month they ship me a battery which give me the confidence that the collars are fully functioning.

We typically have our dog wear the collar during the day and at night when we take it off to give her a break from wearing it, we put it on the charger. It usually lasts two days without charging.

It needs to be charged regularly and i noticed that I have to reset the collar almost every time i use it. Other than that, it has been working just fine. I am wondering if my dog will go back to old habits once i stop using the collar or will it program her not to do certain things so eventually she won't do them even when i don't use the collar. Has anyone noticed the difference with their dog's behavior when the collar is not used?

My dog has gone in and out of a lake with it on, and it still works the same as when it was new. I would say "yes" to your question.I charge it every couple of days. The collar, itself, doesn't tell you when it is about ready to go out, but the control does have a gauge, so you know when it is time to plug it in again.

The collar itself is rechargeable. The remote takes a regular 9volt battery

It really depends on how often your dog barks, at least to a degree. You could remove the battery when your dog is not wearing it, as that probably would extend the battery life. They should work longer than 6 wks, however, in my opinion, but most dogs should have 'learned their lesson' (re: what happens when they insist on barking when the collar is on) within 6 wks. At least our hounds did. . .

I have had mine for about 6 months now. I have 2 dogs and they are not at all cheap or fragile. I really like the fact that they have my cell number and their names on the collar in font big enough to be seen if my dogs were to get out without me.

The remote batteries last a long time because it goes into sleep mode of not used. The batteries in the collar on the other hand last about 2-3 weeks if on continuously. It feels like we have to change these a lot, but we leave the collar on all the time unless our dog is in his kennel.

When I received the collar it would not take a charge. I returned it after about a week. I had no problem returning the collar.

It has a built in battery that last for a very long time. I have been more than pleased with the battery life on this collar.

It should work, depending on your system, our system is older but the collar you are showing here did work work as a replacement one for us. The only difference is the battery is different than our other collars and have not ordered the new kind yet. After the collar came I called the company to ask them because I noticed the battery looked very different and they are but supposedly just as easy to order through the company as well. Hope this helps you a little and good luck! :)

I have the collar on my 90lb high energy high drive German Shepard. I never have to use it over level 4. That stopped him dead in his tracks when he decided to chase horses in a pasture. Just keep it right enough and the batteries fresh and it should be fine.

We purchased ours on Oct 4 2104. We just had to replace batteries for first time. So about 2 1/2 months. The only thing is, it doesn't give you warning so maybe it went dead before because one day she was down the street so we realized batteries must be dead. So who knows when it actually went dead? That's kind of a bad thing because there isn't something that tells you so some day your dog can wonder off. Other than that it works great! So I guess maybe every few weeks, or once a week we should take the collar out by end of yard and check it? We take it off her at night to give her a rest but we don't turn it off or anything. Hope that helps.

I haven't had a problem with the remote, but am not happy with the collar itself for many reasons. I honestly find myself torn as to rather or not the sell was a waste of money... have yet to decide.
