You are better off being paid a Dogtra unit. I have the Dogtra 200NCP (2 dog model) it facility up to a half a mile and it’s waterproof. I have used the Petsafe model and establish that for a modest extra money it facility better and longer, and since the Dogtra is rechargeable, you don’t spend lots of money on batteries.
Hope this helps. Oh…one other thing….make sure you know how to use it because used incorrectly, you can really mess up your dog, the e-collar is so effective that your timing needs to be “on” or you’ll send your dog the incorrect signals.
Like Sara I would recommend Dogtra. Make sure you know how to properly use this type of collar they are a excellent training tool but only in the right hands. Also keep in mind they are used to proof (compel) commands the dog already knows not teach commands the dog don’t know. In other words your dog needs to already know and know the come mandate before you use the collar to reinforce to proof it.
I very HIGHLY recommend Dogtra over the Petsafe. They are more expensive but last so much longer and work so much better.
Just really do your research and make sure you know how to use it, when to give corrections and also the timing. Doing it incorrectly can make it nearly impossible for the collar to work in the future.
