The best indoor dog trainer I have ever used

I use it to keep the dog out of the basement, a couple of rooms and to stop him from getting onto the kitchen table stealing food.  Worked so well I no longer need it after two weeks of use.  Not too harsh but enough to get the point across that your not welcome in this location.  I finally can have food on my table without a worry the dog will eat it.

Amazing!! this product is amazing I've tried everything I have two big dogs I like to run and run and play free, however we live close to a dangerous road and we have fear that they d run in the road. we've tried fencing in portions of the yard with a big dog pen that didn't work they dug a hole to China. We tried an underground dog fence that goes around the whole perimeter of the yard, major Pain, didn't work. We also had a single dog trainjng collar, the idea behind it was great yet it only works for one dog and was not rechargeable. I am so happy with the dog Widget training collars I feel safe for my dogs can play and run free and I have control of both of them at the same time if I need it. with the old collar I used to have to use the shock because the alert / warn feature didn't work well. with the dog widgets collar both dogs stop their naughty behavior instantly.  absolutely love this collar. we also love the fact that you can use any dog collar with it if the one it comes with breaks. this is a must have for pet owners

Our trainer recommended this product, and we ordered it. It's a pretty amazing product! Our dog was a jumper, barker, chewer, and a high energy puppy. We used this a couple of times, and all these behaviors are 99.9% better. I have recommended this product to other dog owners I know that have pups with similar behavior problems and more...chewing on furniture, carpets, etc. Because this product is working for us, we are now able to train her with commands and positive rewards, as she's now focusing on us more than the bad behavior.

This is a fabulous training tool! I purchased this and a shock collar for my parents dog to aid in the training, is was amazing!! The dog responded very well, and it was easy for my parents as well. Thanks to the Amazon reviews and great price, I'm glad I added this to my purchase at the last minute! Well worth it, I would Highly recommend.

This training method works.  I trained my dog utilizing the lessons in this book. My friends comment that he is the best dog ever.  Two previous dogs in my family were trained with traditional methods and neither dog were as well trained as the one I have now.  This book is a thoughful, interesting, and alternative method to train your dog. Worth the money.

I own a new puppy that is half Jacl Russell and half Australian SHephard, on top of that she is deaf. We really debated for a while to use this type of collar to train, but finally decdied to do it. IT IS LIKE NIGHT AND DAY! It has taught her calmness in about two weeks, no more yelling at no avail! It has even made her demeaner immediatly change as soon as we put her. This is a great product! The ONLY downfall is that the rubber covers do fall off, so glue them on as soon as you get your new collar and you will have no problem! The company that I purchased them from have been greaat with their customer service. I needed to replace the rubber covers that feel off, and I emailed them and had the replacements within 1 week.
THe battery life has been great with the sensor on the collar that makes it shut down when there is no movement.

My German Shepherd was totally out of control. She was so protective of me, that she would show her aggressiveness by jumping and barking ferociously at any one (except family) that came to the door.  So I desperately needed help to get this type of behavior stopped. My daughter told me about purchasing an e-collar.  She and her husband used one to retrain her dogs and got great results.  So I researched and researched for the right e-collar. With her help, she and I agreed on the one I have.  My son in law and daughter came over the day I received it in the mail, and took control of showing me how to put the collar on her and of course how to use the transmitter. She became the "trainer" for the first session. Within 5 minutes, my dog was reacting to the "Come" command, and would go directly to my daughter. My dog already knew the sit and stay command.  So after commanding my dog to "come" she also told her to "sit" and "stay". My daughter showed me how to do this all in one smooth session.  We let my dog roam through the house as she always does for about 15 minutes. Then my daughter told my dog to "Come" and she came immediately to my daughter, sat down without being told.  What a miracle!! It was so great to see that only after 5-7 minutes, and only being "zapped" once, she was responding quickly and without hesitation. I still use the collar every day and have NOT had to "zap" her but once in the 3 months that she started wearing the e-collar.  If you are having a rough time with a disobedient dog, you HAVE to get the e-collar and the DVD (look at it again and again, because each time you will find something new that you didn't quite hear the first time)  and most of all follow Ed's instructions.  He is a great trainer!!! I can't thank him enough for having these DVDs and his care for training dogs in the way they should be trained.  Training is an every day commitment and you will be rewarded by unconditional love from your precious dog(s)!!!

Best investment I've ever made for dog training....I have a St. Bernard puppy which are a stubborn breed to train and she was a different dog even after the first day

Best indoor dog potty I've found so far. No more chewed up puppy pads! The plastic is very durable. It is super easy to clean and keeps my dogs' feet dry. I do wish they had this in a larger size though.

When I was first starting to look into getting a dog, I read a lot about crate training and decided that was the way I wanted to go, and decided (based largely on its reviews) to go with this one. It was easy to assemble, though putting in the puppy wall insert was a little difficult, and using it at times made using one door or another impossible. Not a big deal. The crate seems to have held up well. My dog has never (as far as I have witnessed) gone through any extraordinary lengths to get out--chewing, thrashing, etc.--and I haven't noticed much wear and tear in the seven months we've been using it. The slide out tray definitely came in handy while she was potty training (and while I was figuring out just how long I could leave her alone while I was at work without her having an accident) and is pretty easy to clean. However, it is a little irritating how often the tray ends up poking out because it's slid a bit, but I think any clamp system would be icky to deal with if there were a mess, so I'm not sure how this problem would be solved. I have only ever really used the door on the longer side, but I like to know that I have both options available depending on where I live or what room I want to put it in. Overall, I would definitely recommend this crate to others!

A couple of tips, for people new to crate training: 1) After the first time my dog messed in her crate (I should mention that the couple of the times this happened, it was as a result of me getting home late from work. Crate training was very effective potty training for her), she didn't want to go back in her crate and I realized that the tray wasn't fully clean. I had simply hosed it off in the yard, and that didn't quite get everything out. The tray is textured and kind of grabs onto little stuff. So I recommend going back over it with some paper towels or a sponge and some Nature's Miracle. It's probably kinder to your dog's nose, too. 2) I give my dog a treat every time she goes in her crate, even now that we've been at it for months, and she always goes in her crate on demand, no problem. She associates this little home as a place to get her favorite thing: food!

My husband and I love this collar and remote trainer. We have a 6 month old German Shepherd puppy and a 5 year old Miniature Schnauzer. We've had a problem with a neighbor walking his dog along our fence line. The dogs would charge towards the fence barking and growling. We've only had to use a mild shock correction twice to stop this behavior. Now they bark a few times to let us know he's there, run to about 2 feet from the fence and watch him quietly, which is the exact behavior we wanted. Also had a problem with the Schnauzer jumping up on people and getting overly excited when we've had company. Couldn't seem to get him to calm down and stop. It was so embarrassing. With a few vibration corrections that poor behavior has stopped. He now obeys his sit/stay command and waits to be petted by our guests. Same thing worked on stopping the German Shepherd puppy from digging in our yard. After a few mild vibrations, he has decided he doesn't like to play in the dirt anymore. The best part of these corrections is that the dogs don't realize we did it. We stopped yelling at them when they were at the fence barking or digging in the yard. Instead, from a window where they didn't see us, we gave the correction. They just know that certain behaviors don't feel good. So far we haven't needed to use the collar and remote for training commands such as sit, stay, come, heal, etc. We've been fortunate that both dogs have done that training with praise and treats. But the collar and remote have been great for us to stop unwanted behavior of aggressive barking, digging and jumping on people.  We only used the shock correction for the barking at the neighbor, as both dogs were becoming more and more aggressive towards this man. My husband and I tested the degree of shock on our arms before using it on the dogs. We wanted to make sure it was safe and  wouldn't hurt them. We ended up using much less of a schock than we were willing to tolerate ourselves. This collar and remote trainer was a very quick, effective and humane way to stop unwanted behavior of our guys.

Our rescue dog would not return if she got away accidentally. No amount of training, treats and persuasion would work. I have trained many dogs. This changed our world around. She needed very little training on it. She used to lunge a little at oncoming dogs, or bikers passing from our rear. No more! She is relaxed, I am relaxed, and with verbal training along with the Educator, she quickly learned what was expected of her. I prefer this method with no treats involved. I feel she is safe now. I never have to give her even a warning now. I still carry it with me whenever I am going to take her some place where she will be off-lead. I am very happy with this product.

My mom used one a long time ago when our family dog was a puppy. Now I have one of my own that is more of a terror than any puppy I've ever met. I've only had the Gentle Leader for a couple days, but it has already paid for himself. The change in his attitude in such a short time is amazing. This is everything it claims to be and more.

Our Lab - Great Pyrenees mix was a year old, 135 lbs and out of control. He could not be let off a leash or he would bolt. He came back eventually but with his size we had to do something. Pyres are known for being stubborn and ours sure was. After much looking I bit the $200+ bullet and bought the Dogtra. At that point we were seriously thinking we might have to give up our beloved dog. After reading the instructions before it came and watching some of the web videos I was ready when it arrived
The unit is impressive. Well built and high quality. Day one training as instructed when a car drove in the drive and he took off. Nicking at 17 did nothing so turned it to 50. He yelped as if the hand of God had struck him. He heeled and that was the last time it has been used above 20. In fact the page mode is all it takes for him to run over and sit next to you. He can run all over our 2 acres and never leaves. We walk with no leash now and he rarely gets even a nick. Battery charge lasts about 3 days. He likes the collar and we take it off when he is inside. In an amazingly short period of time and lots of positive reinforcement he is a great dog. Now after 4 months we hardly use the collar unless we are walking. The best $230 I have spent hands down.

I got mine from Petsmart. Same size and design. I must say at first I was skeptical as other owners were before using the prong collar. I have a 2 yr old boxer/pit bull mix and I got him trained on EVERY command and behavior except for leash walking (the right way). It was only bad when he was over excited. Before using this kind of collar I tried the no-slip collar which I love and I tried every training trick in the book but still couldn't curb the excitement of emotions at times of walking. The night I tried this collar it was a huge difference. Black and White. His walk, direction, and demeanor is completely different. He is more calm and listens much better. He is so simple to walk on a leash that my 1 1/2 yr old daughter can walk him, and she does (with my help of course.) This collar is actually safer to use because the dog isn't damaging his/neck and trachea. Watch a video or two on the proper use of this kind of collar to familiarize yourself with the correct way to use it. I never did training classes with my dog. I've trained him from a pup and can honestly say I wish I started with this collar when he was younger.

I have been using the Pro Trainer Dog Training Collar with remote controls for about 2 weeks now.  I ordered the set with 2 collars since am trying to train our two dogs (both rescues - one schnauzer mix (about 34 lbs.) and one terrier mix (about 25 lbs.)).  It has been very easy to use.  I like that I can switch between collars on the remote control and have each collar adjusted individually for that dog.  I am using the vibration mode and have had a great deal of success in a short time.  Set-up was relatively easy but the instruction manual needs some editing for complete sentences, etc.  The collar lengths are very generous so I did end up cutting both shorter which was easy to do.  I am very happy with our purchase and would highly recommend this product.

This is probably the single most amazing dog collar you can get for your dog second only to lovatic barking control collar. I have a dog with behavioral issues that I adopted almost a year ago because of his condition I cannot use traditional training methods so I was extremely excited when I found this product to be able to use vibration rather than shock is amazing and it'd be able to have the capability to shock if necessary is even better this unit is waterproof and all those up to my expectations very well I would highly recommend this to my family and my friends or anybody that is looking to gain better control of their friend
