AETERTEK AT-919C 2-DOG 1100 YARD ULTRA RANGE REMOTE TRAINING SHOCK COLLAR WITH AUTO ANTI-BARK,RECHARGEABLE AND WATERPROOF

Easy to use and control. My two dogs needed just the one training walk with the collar and now just need to be shown the collar to know that they must behave. Really I do mean just the one training walk. We do still use them just to confirm the training expectations and behaviour that we want and expect from them. This has made them better and more enjoyable to be out around others in public places like cafes etc. it is better for them and others and they get many comments on their good behaviour.

bark option is junk. reacts to movement of any kind. elsewise a great training collar.

I purchased this product for the features it offered with both bark control and manual correction. But I warn you to not leave the bark control feature on at all, if you are not monitoring it within ear shot. It does & will go off on it's own and if you are not at the kennel to monitor it you face injury to your pets. Both my dogs recieved burns, one was sever burns where the prongs were located when the bark feature was left on his. The intensity setting may have been why his was worse then hers (his was 9 hers was 6 since he is my most vocal pup). I am not sure how long it was going off or how it was able to get hot enough to burn through his flesh but I am extremely disappointed in this product because of it.(For those that would comment I shouldn't have left them unattended with it on-the product advertises being able to have a quiet kennel and that you can do such, I was relying on this while we were out camping and it failed horribly.)My first impression was good when I figured out the controls and how to connect the remote and receivers. It was pretty simple. They work good for manual correction while we were out hiking and the battery lasted 2 days before needing to be recharged. The remote is still on it's first charge and it is still showing full battery after 1 month of use.When connecting the remote to the reciever you have to make sure the selected dog (1 or 2) is on the screen and does not have the bark control feature on. The remote will not pair to the reciever if it is on. Only have one reciever on at a time while pairing. If you pull the receiver off the charger it will turn on automatically and makes it easy to pair right away. The remote safety feature, where it locks by pushing the intensity Arrows on the side simultaneously for 3 seconds, is a good feature so you don't accidentally bump the remote and falsely send a correction.We now only use the manual correction and do not leave the collars on them for any length of time other when they are out with us because of the possibility of them getting burned again. The collars go on at the door and off when we get back.So in the end it does rate 2 stars for the features that work correctly and looses 3 stars because of the one that does not.If you are looking at getting this, like I was, for the bark control feature I would highly advise shelling out the extra cash for the Garmin model with the bark control feature where it has a better reputation for being more accurate with it. For now it does it's job for manual correction and once I have enough saved up we will be purchasing the Garmin as it's replacement.

Works fairly well. I've had these a couple of weeks now. My two energetic black Labs are behaving much better. It only required one pass through the sequence of the beep, then the vibration, then the shocks for them to get the idea. They spent a short time huddled around my legs begging forgiveness for their misdeeds and have been much better since. An occasional beep then vibration reminds them.I have not actually seen or heard them getting the automatic bark correction, but they are barking much less, which used to be incessant as soon as I got out of the car.Three suggestions for the maker:1) The directions are a little hard to follow. This may be in part because the control scheme is not well-thought-out and thus is hard to explain.2) It is inconvenient to have to re-pair the control with the collars every time the collars are recharged.3) The control button icons are hard to see. Not all of us users have eyes as young as those of product designers! Design engineers - if you live into your fifties, it WILL happen to you too, as the lenses of your eyes lose elasticity!4) It would be good to have the shock button be a different shape, color or position than the level adjust, collar select, and beep and vibrate buttons.Otherwise, though, this looks like the best compromise among cost, value and function on Amazon to me. I've spent four times as much for collars that didn't work nearly as well.As an aside, for anyone considering a collar with a replaceable battery - don't. The batteries are expensive and hard to find. You'll wind up not using the collar.

Ok 4 starts because these work well and have improved behaviors (especially barking) quite a bit. So they serve their purpose. If this was less effective I would rate 1 star and return because--Battery life is AWFUL - they last 1.5 - 2 days, so it's a pain to be constantly charging these almost more often than they're actually wornAnd then every time I charge them they un-sync from the collars or change the sync so that both dogs are on the same channel or whatnot and at this point they don't resync easily to what they should be and I spend minutes after ever charge to get it straightened out again.They are an absolute pain to deal with.
