is the collar waterproof? I would like to use it to keep my lab from swimming on top of me.

I'm guessing it should be the battery is held in place by a screw about the size of a dime. But doubt that the controller is waterproof. Also the zap when you use it is just supposed to go thtough where the contacts touch the dog. Water is a conductor of electricity and I'm sure you don't want the whole dog getting zapped.

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.

Both the collar and the remote are waterproof. Even if the cover comes off the charging port it's still waterproof. My dog swims with his on all the time and we've never had a problem.

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

Yes...It is waterproof. This hammock has been well worth the cost and I would absolutely, without a doubt, recommend it. It has been wonderful and my dog loves it!

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.

I believe so, however both the collar and remote are sealed units you shouldn't be accessing the battery. This is partially why it is water proof. The battery has lasted days before, but I tend to leave it in the charging cradle when not in use.

Yes, my dog has gone underwater completely submerging the collar hundreds of times and it works perfectly. The remote control is waterproof as well but I avoid submerging it, because the rubber cap which protects the USB charging port could potentially not be seated properly.

I never remove the collar. That's a good way to forget to put it back on and now your Pooch can roam freely. Sounds like that rumor was started by someone's Dog.

Yes definitely - it's waterproof - I've got my dog swimming in a lake all the time with it on

I didn't use a collar. It's optional but a collar will help secure it more. Especially if your pet is actively trying to remove it.

yes!! both controller and collar are water proof. I float on a raft with the controller and dog swims with collar. ALL SUMMER LONG.

It is not safe to leave this on your dog as his regular collar. It can be hazardous, both because of the danger of choking and the danger of injury. I took a dog (a pit bull) off leash but left this collar on, turned my back for literally a few seconds, and the next thing I knew, she had her paw caught in the collar. This is a great training collar, but it's ONLY a training collar.

My dogs have been swimming in our pool and the collar is still good. As a matter of fact, they still have it on and its been months they have been wearing it and not one single tick or flea on them. So I would go as far as saying the collar works long after its past date.

I think you are supposed to take the collar off prior to it getting wet. If it was just once, it's probably ok, but I would not continually expose it to water.

if it were me, i'd suggest not. just because it wouldn't take much moisture to wreck it. we got it for an english setter and she "eats the shocks for breakfast". if she sees something out of bounds, she's gone and is willing to put up with the shocks till they stop. it may well be ok for swimming but i have a water proof watch that i won't swim with..............
