Anyone use this on a Weimaraner? We have tried all the PC methods and after 10 years there has got to be a solution!

I don't think the dog breed matters. Its awesome, my dog swims in the pool with it. Keep it on low, V setting if possible. no batteries, its the best one.

Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden? I have a GSP with this issue, using the Help Em Up Harness as well and ordering the Back on Track products as well. Using other therapies and hoping for a turn around. It's been a real challenge. Mine went lame on 6.16.14 from disc issues and was dragging hind paws initially. Hope you've seen your Vet or one who specializes in this area. I live in Dallas, TX and Dr Barton at Heal Vet does a lot of therapy for dogs with these issues, she is very kind and busy. Dr Giggleman here also does Vet Chiropractic, he is very gentle. Never allow your dog to get Chiro under anesthesia however. Did you buy these and did they work for your Golden?

Just out of curiosity, Kendall, did you have the boundary width on the transmitter set to its maximum? And how about the correction level on the collars? The Stubborn Dog containment system transmitter may be a bit less powerful than some of the other Petsafe transmitters. Maybe one solution ($ though) would be to get a more powerful transmitter that would allow for a wider boundary, and then to use the higher correction levels available on the collar.

I have a similar problem with my jealous Australian Shephard. I have considered using the collar BUT, it would mean watching the dog all day until he began acting up. Are you willing to spend all your free time watching him? I'm trying to come up with a better idea.

I have no clue. You might try rinsing the nozzle filler hole for 5 minutes under hot water. You also might try calling Pet Safe. They replaced a broken unit collar clip, No Hassle.

Please note: Other buyers say they switched to Advantix. My vet was out of Frontline and only had Advantix so I bought it. My Bichon Frise was running around the house and crying all day and night after I applied it. Turned out it gave him a chemical burn, and had to be washed off with Dawn. Be careful when trying something new.

Same thing, cleaned it and worked for a while...then started going off again. Think my little male dog was marking it. Soaked it with some distiller cleaner descaler, for 4 hrs. Rinse well. Dry completely. Put a small cracker box over it to keep dogs from marking it. Works great now. Glad I didn't throw it away. All with the same problem maybe a male dog marking it and pee making it arc. Good product killed many mice with it.

I really doubt it. My Weimaraner is about 75lbs. The collar has a little bit of adjustment available. Hope this helps

Sounds like my 8 year old female Cocker Spaniel. She didn't seem to respond any differently than usual during a car ride while wearing the wrap. I asked her veterinarian to make sure I had it on her properly. It was on just right and looked like a cute doggie girdle. Just didn't help my dog. Works for some,but not all.

Our Jack has a rough coat and it works fine. They tell you to trim the hair around the neck if the coat is to long. But now that he has worn in for a few months we don't even turn it on. Just putting it on him he stops barking. I have tried every device and this is the only one that worked.

It did not seem to work terribly well for me, but I saw other posts saying it did. The cost isn't too much so if you can afford it, I'd give it a whirl. My vet told me to get those little film canisters (from rolls) and drill holes in them, put a cotton ball inside and saturate it with the product. I put them around the perimeter of the house and sprayed as well. I think the hope is, in the containers, the product will last longer as the rain won't rinse it away. I had pretty good luck with the Scare Crow motion sensor outdoor sprinkler if you'd like to try that. Good luck and God's blessings!

I guess you'd have to contact the manufacturer. I've trusted it and have been very pleased with it. It was recommended to me by some very knowledgeable dog breeders and owners that I trust. I would be shocked, I guess, if this product were anything less than of the highest quality - I hope I'm right!!

I think you may have a problem. The unit itself is a small box about 2" x about 1.5" with the spray nozzles sort of in the middle of the short end. They need free space to spray out. If your dog's hair is longer than that, and thick, you might have a problem. Alternatively, it does spray pretty powerfully, so perhaps the odor and the wet fur will be enough for your dog to detect it and respond accordingly. :-)

My dog is a German shephard and the collar did not work. I'm assuming it is because I read another review that said the collar needs to have close skin contact and I won't shave my dogs neck. I would try another collar if I were you

My dog just did the same thing. I'm glad the replacement info was posted! We should all invent a dog resistant cord!

Use an invisible fence inside of your other fence. I saw inside because for me one thing I don't like about them is your dog may not go out of the yard but other dogs & people can come in. I used one inside of my other fence for a dog who would climb or scale any fence I put him in. Depending on your breed also you may want to trade the regular collar in for a "stubborn dog" collar. I have Rhodesian Ridgebacks & this male when he had the regular collar on just stood there getting zapped & looked at me like - ya right you think this will keep me in? Only 1 of my boys went thru it w/stbn collar on & he thought I needed him. I purchased not the "brand" name invisible fence a cheaper one. Just make sure if you get the wire kind to set it all down FIRST before permnantly installing! Also watch the training video & read the booklet & make sure you train the dog correctly. Do exactly as it says don't cut corners. The newest ones out that are wireless are incredible but a lot more expensive. What is your breed of dog? That would be my best suggestion. Otherwise you will have to secure your fence on the bottom with like 2x4's around the outside nailed to posts. Have a much heavier fence installed & high enough the dog doesn't jump and the weave close enough so he can't climb. The invisible fence would be cheaper & I think a better solution. One other thing I know someone who had a Boxer & theirs got a short in it & the dog stayed right in the circled area. Many folks tell me this they shut theirs off after a while & dog stays right in the boundries. Not so with a RR my two boys checked it every day to make sure it was working. My husband did not ground a new one we put in after moving & it got zapped & ruined (make sure you do that!) & one of my boys knew it was off in less than 1/2 hour & was out.

Wow! No idea! I would contact the company, as it suggested that it will last for years. Is there any chance there's a hole or rip in it? Maybe that let air in, but I'm just guessing. I still have the one I purchased, but my dog was only able to use it for a few weeks before she passed. I wish you all the best solving this issue! :)
