F-colorDog Shock Collar with Remote Control - 2600FT Dog Training Collar 3 Pack with Beep Vibration Shock and Light, Waterproof E Collar for Dogs Training for Large Medium Breeds

I have purchased a few different kinds of training collars like this. What I like about this one is the adjustable sensitivity receivers are about 70% smaller than the others and light up when activated. The flashlight in the remote is surprisingly bright and stays on until you turn it off. I like having 3 channels as we are a 4 dog home. (one dog is too old and too well behaved to need one). I will follow up with a score on the battery life after I run them for a month or so. Considering they all have a sleep timer, I am sure I will be giving it a 5 star rating when the time comes. So far so good.

The remote is easy to use and lasts a long time

I have seen many versions of training collars, and this one has the best of all worlds. I have used it for about two months before writing this review and not have had any problems, at all.It is one of the least expensive training collars, but one of the best in terms of features, range, and battery life.It's range is one of the longest: Austin has a HUGE open-lawn dog park (Zilker), and it works at more than two or three football fields away. If I can see him, the signal will reach him. (He turns to find me when it beeps.)The hand held remote is small but functional and easy to use even for my XL "man hands." The functions on the remote are intuitive and clear.The display is large and clear to read even in bright sunlight. The display also lights up with an "Indiglow" type blue backlight, so you can read it at night.The shock and vibrate features scale from 1-100, giving you a broad range of settings to adjust to your dog depending on how much encouragement s/he needs. It also has shock, vibrate, and audible beep modes. It also comes with silicone nubbies that cover the shock nodes and reduce the severity if desired.The small LED flashlight is the perfect level to look for poop or see where you are going at dusk or nighttime.The battery life is also surprisingly good. The remote holds its charge much longer because it is not using energy to produce a shock. It has a battery level indicator on the display. The only complaint I have is that the collar does not appear to have a battery meter, so you don't know when it needs a charge.As many dog owners have told me before I bought this one, you really only need to use the shock feature a couple of times before the dog learns to honor the collar. The shock is uncomfortable but does not do permanent injury. (Anyone who uses the shock feature repeatedly is doing it wrong). Even when you need to use the shock, it merely serves as a temporary reminder. Although the highest level is akin to a mild taser, the lower levels are more like soft taps. Some huge dogs might need the highest level. My dog is medium-large (50 pounds), and I have not needed to go above 30/100.After the initial two or three shocks, usually the beep works as a reminder to listen to what your command is. My dog is very loyal and does well staying next to me while off-leash. But his weakness is his enthusiasm (and speed) when seeing other dogs, and he kept running to other dogs in the park while off leash no matter what I did (yell, run, use treats, etc.). So I needed something to reinforce commands so he did not startle others or unnecessarily create conflicts. It worked. Two or three small shocks and he now obeys when he hears the beep: almost as if it is a reminder "don't ignore him." He now obeys better even when the collar is not on, which helps us avoid innocent confrontations or conflicts.Overall, it is a well-made product with all the features I can imagine you would need, and it does its job very well. Very happy with it.

It's nice to have but some times it seems to lose the signal or get blocked by little things. Sometimes the shock is wonderful others seems like it gets lost, and yes all 3 are fitted appropriately.

Works amazing

We purchased these collars for our 3 new puppies (appx. 6 mo. old at the time). These were prefect. I never wanted to use the "shock" feature but these collars make it so you can turn it down to practically nothing. After testing it on my husband we found that the low setting of 10 would get the point across with more of a "shock" of surprise than a "shock" of pain. We got our puppies trained that they get 3 "beeps", then if still not following directions (of staying in the yard and not trying to socialize with every person that walks down the street) we would use the "vibrate" once, and if still not following directions, they will get the "zap". After the first use, they got the pattern. They know their boundaries based on "beep" training and when they do get up the courage to try and break that, it never takes more than a ''vibrate" for them to reconsider. The collar batteries last for days, especially after initial introduction, because you rarely have to use it. The remote battery has only needed charged 3 times in the 6 months we had it, and I'm not even sure it needed charged, it was more of a "I haven't charged this in months, the battery still says it's full, but I'm going to plug it in anyway" sort of deal. The collars light up when you press a button, so you know it's "connecting", and they will blink faster when the battery is getting low. You can charge two collars at a time. Sometimes the collars will be on but the connection isn't working and the good ol' "have you tried turning it off and back on?" troubleshoot always works. There is plenty of length to the collar for all sizes of dogs. We have 2 boys and a girl all from the same litter but they all have a different neck size and these adjusted easily to meet everyone's needs. The collars don't "slip" and loosen even during the most "vicious" of sibling battles. They are water proof, we take them to the park and the pups run rampant through the streams and swim in all the pools with out an issue. It's also easy to replace parts if you try to be a nice puprent (puppy parent) and take off the collars and someone decides to chew the closures. Pull a stitch here and there and replace the connectors easy peasy. The reflective strips are nice at night along with the steady blink of light. Honestly, we barley even use them now. We put them on for park trips because of all the temptation for misbehaving but otherwise, they run around with just a plain collar and I'll occasionally say "beeeeeep" to remind them of what could be. It works....i'm pretty sure lol.

It claims that it only needs charged once a month but even when I don’t use them they still have to be charged every other day

I love that there is one remote for my 3 dogs! However I have a Newfie/stbenard and he broke two collars but luckily we just switched the collars to a heavy duty one and the shocker still works. My dogs listen well now and know the farm boundaries.

I didn't love the collars as they seem to slip, but other than that they work fine.

Surprised how well they work

Collar keeps shutting off every 5 minutes very frustrating.
