Has anyone had a problem with your dog wearing a DAP collar leaking (urine) at night?

no-never; I have used this with 2 different dogs - 1 older and small and the other large and young. No problem.

No. However, if your dog is older and wearing the DAP collar to help with anxiety, the urine problem might be just another problem that older dogs go through. Not necessarily caused by the collar.

No, not at all! I have an 8 year old Shih Tzu that has been very depressed every since her companion passed 2 years ago. I took her to the vet and the vet suggested the DAP collar. The collar made a world of difference, she was a totally different happy dog and had no problems at all. I would suggest the DAP collar to anyone. It made a world of difference! I hope this answered your question. If you have any other questions I would be more than happy to help, good luck!

I have not had an issue with that, and the dog we are using the DAP collar with has been wearing one for ten months now. I realize every dog is different, but I would definitely check your Vet.

I have not had that problem, nor have I heard of it being a side effect of the DAP collar. I would get a Vet check as a UTI is far more likely but not related to the collar.

It might, but I'd ask your vet first. There could be other issues going on. If it's behavioral rather than a medical problem, I think the collar is worth a try.

No. Although I have kept mine on my dog when she was outside in light rain, I try not to. One of our first 2 collars was damaged by a fairly small amount of liquid. (The second one broke when I pulled on it, instead of her collar... oops!)

Thank you for your purchase. The collar wraps around the black receiver. Loosen the collar and press the battery cover in the direction of the arrow. Wiggle the battery a little and it usually solves the problem. Replace the battery cover & start training your pet! Hope you have great results!

Nope! I've had 2. Went to wash one, hole in it immediately( cheap tube). My dog learned to get around the next one! I gave up!

Definitely!! I have replaced mine several times. I do have a few recommendations in doing so. I use an ice pick and heat it over an open flame (gas stove) and burn/melt the holes in the nylon collar for the prong to fit so the hole does not unravel. Then when replacing the prongs I put a little clear nail polish on the threaded side so it will hold tight. Next time you need to replace the collar you are able to loosen the prong using a pair of pliers, it's not a big deal at all. I have two golden retrievers and one is a chewer, he has chewed the collar off my other golden several times.

Yes. I used this in the middle of an 8 X 10 rug that my dachshund repeatedly urinated on. He received one shock after walking on the rug himself and another by accident when my daughter walked on the rug while holding him. His collar was removed about 4 weeks after that and he has not stepped foot on the rug since. It has been several months. I am very pleased with this product.

Unfortunately, no. My dog has the same problem. It is pretty easy to clean though.

I have replaced the batteries in mine with less expensive ones and they work great. I haven't seen a problem with water because of rain, but I don't think I would trust any collar of this type being submersed in water for swimming. I can't believe that the manufacturer would suggest such a thing either. I would be afraid that if enough water got inside, it would cause the dog to get shocked unexpectedly. I think the cost of replacing the collar would also keep me from risking it.

Ours started doing that after a couple years of use. We don't even use our unit anymore for this reason. Thought this was a longer term investment but a new collar is $100....

Have not had that problem, but have had a lot of trouble. It's kind of junk. I used it in rehab because it was small enough to sneak in, but haven't touched it since. I'll probably toss it in the trash one day.

Sorry to hear this, I have had to contact PetSafe regarding the prongs being to long and the collar strap that holds the excess collar at the end and each time, customer service was most helpful. I believe they also said that since I had the collar less than a year, they would send me a new collar strap, they also sent me shorter prongs, both free of charge. I have never had a problem with the remote or the electronic part of the collar. Customer service was extremely helpful and very pleasent every time I have had a question and it appeared that Customer Satisfaction was their number one goal. Have you tried to contact them which resulted in poor results? I do not want you to think I have a half of a brain but was the plug inserted correctly? I charge both the collar and the remote at the same time. I wonder if the battery in the remote could be bad, it is rechargeable but who knows for how long its actual life is. Hope this is helpful but do try to contact Customer Service @ Toll Free: 1-800-941-4200, this # is from the Pet Safe web site," contact us". Hope you will have satisfactory result. I always have. Good luck and I would not mind hearing if they would help. Thank you

Not that I noticed. The collar was pretty useless with our dog. She was surprised the first few times and then nothing. She didn't seem to mind it and she continued to bark. She is a Sheppard/Bloodhound - born to bark.

It really depends on how long it's on the dog..some respond quicker than others..I don't know if it seeps out while it's not being used but we have had ours for a couple of months and use it on different dogs and have only refilled it once..the battery is good too...I recommend this dog collar but it is big and we have dachshunds..

I only had leaking once, when one of the bands came loose and the top came off. You have to periodically buy new bands so they don't get stretched out, they are cheap so it's not a big deal.

I have never had that problem, and I have used this product for a few years. I always replace the cap after I use the toothpaste on the dogs. I would suggest that you make sure that the cap is screwed tightly on the tube.

yes mine is the same way,but only while collar is on even after wearing for weeks,but it helps so no one complains about barking
