Bousnic Dog Shock Collar - 3300Ft Dog Training Collar with Remote for 5-120lbs Small Medium Large Dogs Rechargeable Waterproof e Collar with Beep (1-8), Vibration(1-16), Safe Shock(1-99) (Orange)

This is good when it works. But it doesn’t always respond

I’ve been using e collars for about 5 years. After trying and using Patpet, Jugbow and Bousnic, Bousnic is my favorite. My dog, Daisy, a German Wirehair Pointer. Typically use it twice a day. We live on a lake and the collar is totally waterproof. In the fall we upland hunt, 6 days a week, the collar works when wet, frozen or caked a bit with mud. The distance is never an issue for us. The transmitter is laid out perfectly when hanging from a lanyard- Tone on top, Vibrate in the center and shock on the bottom. It’s easy to use, logical. The tone is excellent. I use the tone for 2 things: total recall- holding the tone button until the dog has come all the way back and is sitting in front of me. Also use the Tone Beep for locating my dog while hunting when Daisy is in the cattails or in tall grass. I momentarily press the tone button and I can locate her within about 50 yards. She can be on point, won’t move when she hears the momentary tone. Vibrate- I use vibrate on its highest setting to signal to Daisy stay close meaning she’s going out in front too far. I press the vibrate and Daisy will turn back and wait for me, this isn’t a sit command. Lastly, the shock, I use it on the 6 setting. It is rarely used. It gets her attention but doesn’t cause distress. I’d use it to stop her from doing something like heading off the property. This is a super e collar, I am a fan.

I bought this for my 14 lb Shipoo few months back and could not be happier. I have since recommended this to many dog owners to buy but I see that most don't know how to effectively use it so I wanted to add a little direction here which others may find useful. 1. Read the instructions manual in how to setup the system 2. Once the system is setup, test it to ensure it is in working condition (ensure your dog is NOT wearing the collar when you are testing the functions) 3. There are normally 3 buttons on the controller: a. Sound – this will just beep when pressed to get your dog distracted form what he/she was doing and pay attention to what you are asking. b. Buzz – this is a vibration produced based on the number you have set on your controller. This is the second level attention getter. c. Zap – this sends a very low voltage and harmless electric zap. This resembles the head of the pack biting the neck of a pack-mate to let them know who the boss is. This is to be used rarely when you want to make a permanent impact. 4. Once you know the collar is in working order, place it on the dog’s neck, 5. Starting with the lowest setting (sound), in a confined area at home (within a room), issue a command and activate the sound. For example: Come and then the sound. At this point I would even have a leash ready if the dog is young and not familiar with the command, and for the first couple of times I would reinforce the sound and command by pulling the leash, until the action is no longer required. If your dog is already familiar with the command, this becomes easier as you are trying to connect the sound to the command. Treats are normally also another way of getting his/her attention. You can even make the sound to be a treat command. 6. If the dog remains unresponsive to the sound, after three sounds, use the buzz. Do this consistently. Meaning always three sounds (you can decide what number is right for you, but be consistent) before a buzz. At this point the dog will understand that the payoff is higher if the command is not followed. 7. The Zap is used rarely if you feel the dog will be harmed if he does not respond to the command. The recall command is one of the most important commands we need to concentrate on. I have used Zap for example when the very first time my dog tried to eat goose poop. Since then, she will only sniff and walk on and never touch it as the price is too high. The Zap also needs to be set based on your dogs coat and size. Heavier the coat higher the degree as they may not even feel it if you set it on low. 8. Make sure to set boundaries as soon as you can and when they are very young as this would last their lifetime. Each button on the controller can be used for as many commands as you want to set. For example, I use the sound for: wait, come back or the buzz for: don’t touch, don’t go there, avoid, leave it, drop it. The Zap is set to one command: Danger/No 9. Once the dog is completely familiar with the collar, try him/her out in the whole house or in the yard before trying to use the collar in a public area where there are many distractions. Try walking with the dog off leash and ensuring the messages are properly received. 10. Consistency is the key. Pay attention to the dog at all times and use the command regularly to ensure effectiveness. Not being consistent will mean you need to start the process over again and will prove to be time consuming, frustrating and ineffective. 11. Do not press the controller keys few seconds after the dog has done something, it needs to be done exactly at the time of the action. 12. Do not press the buttons to test and see if it is working, while the dog is wearing the collar. Always test the collar first thing before you put it on the dog. 13. Finally and most importantly, if you are stressed, so will be the dog. When the owners are relaxed, the dog is also relaxed. 14. If you yell at the dog, this comes across as a game, I bark, you yell, let’s go. Hope this helps.

First, here is the situation.. I ended up getting this collar because my dog barks so aggressively at the neighbors dog and will run around me when I try to get her to stop or come in. She literally runs along the fence line barking and will "juke move" me and make me look like an idiot. This is the only situation where she is disobedient, she normally comes immediately and listens very well.. I have paid professionals to work with her for weeks in their facility and this is still occurring. I must say I was pleasantly surprised by this collar. My dog responds very well to it. I started out by testing the Shock Level on myself so that I could decide what level I wanted to put it on. It has settings from 1 to 99. My dog is not new to the shock collars so i didn't need to gauge by her reaction or start at 1, I know what works on her. I have always purchased a certain brand that runs around one hundred and fifty dollars. However, I always have to replace it in around one year. I decided to try this one that was a little bit more affordable for me and has more options. My dog seems to not mind wearing this collar, and she responds to the vibration and the noise every time. The only time I have to use the shock setting is when she is in a confrontation with the neighbor's dog. I only have to press it once and she immediately stops and listens to my command. One of the most surprising features is how long the battery lasts in the collar and the remote. I only have to charge it about once every three weeks. The charger is really nice to use, plug it in with little effort, unlike some others I've tried. My other collars would have to be charged every few days, rather I used it or not. I feel like it is made pretty well. The only thing I would change is that the material the collar is made out of seems to loosen after a few weeks so I have to tighten it just a small amount so that the contacts are touching her still. That's really the only con I have. Very affordable very effective and durable. I also like that there is the option to add on a second collar to the one remote. I haven't done this because I don't have that need but it's nice to have for those who have more than one naughty dog. Really good spend, it's changed our life for the better because before having it, my dog was out of control barking aggressively at the neighbors dog and the neighbors were really uncomfortable, rightfully so.. I believe this collar saved us from needing to build a different fence or maybe even move.

Kind of a long read, so I apologize! I bought 2 collars. Blue for Davey, purple for Rowan. So far I absolutely love these collars. They were easy to set up and get situated. I havent quite trimmed the collar length up yet, but they're adjusted to them like they suggested (where you can get fingers throught the collar). I might make them tighter because they seem to slip out of place I prefer them and they're neck fat gets pushed up which I feel could mess with the prong to skin contact at some point. I found that Davey responds better on the lower end of the settings with this one, where as his other collar (that I paid $200 for) could be on high and he wouldn't really care about the shock. Both pups are learning the beep part of it. And have been responding nicely. Which is a nice change from just vibrations or shocking. We just recently moved so I've been having to train them on their new boundaries and the beep is a nice warning they're getting to close to going over it. The battery life has been amazing so far. Been using for a few days in a row for their usual training and boundary training, as well as inside usage and still has plenty of life left between the collar and remote. The only thing I don't quite like is how the remote feels. I feel like I'm going to break easily. Like it's not durable enough. But I think that's just because I'm so use to a heavier remote. Otherwise I really like how it works and that it goes into like a sleep mode when on and not being used, but works instantly as soon as you hit a button. Overall, I'm super happy with my purchase and would recommend this to everyone. Very good product for the price!!!

My mother ordered one for her dog before, and I've just ordered another for my own quadruped. She lives with me, so she tries to keep her dog in line as much as she can. In days past, she could first discipline with the fly swatter and then just threaten with it, but her current lack of mobility makes that impossible. This lets her reach out and touch em. It's easy. If my mom can master it, there's nothing to it. She can easily switch between functions and adjust intensity as desired. I've heard nothing but praise from her over this item, and this is coming from a woman that couldn't program a VCR 30 years ago, let alone use today's technology. It works. This is really what matters. Mom started off using the tone and vibration functions, because nobody wants to hurt their "furry kid". But, being a dog, of course he learned those are just nuisances. After the initial confusion wore off, they had no effect. Once the shock function was introduced (top setting of just 6), that changed. Now there is a tangible consequence to the other functions, and he knows what's coming if he ignores them. The difference is stark. Of course, he's a dog, doing dog things. In suburbia, other dogs barking will set him off, but he's doing what he's supposed to do. However when Mom has had enough, she now just holds up the remote without pressing a single button, and it ends right there. Doesn't even have to cycle through everything else. If he's not wearing the collar, the dog still knows what it means. I work nights, so this has been a godsend. The adjustable shock allows her to keep it to a bare minimum, so the shock only gets her point across without causing fear or trauma. We've seen other dogs traumatized by these things, and didn't want that. At that setting, the dog doesn't even yelp - he tenses up for half a second and immediately returns to her side. Doesn't even cower. Of course, this is only after she's warned him and the other dogs are still going full tilt, keeping him worked up. There will be some fitting needs done at first, but you only need a pair of scissors and a lighter to melt the end (keeps it from fraying). Not hard if your dog is still, but if not, that's why you're looking for a collar. Just make sure to use the finger gap rule and you'll be fine.
