Dog Training Collar with Wireless Remote M998dc Transmitter

Changed my life.Buying this was a 4 step processFor me.1. Finally deciding to buy it. Research. Ordering . And receiving/ reading manual. Definitely read the Manuel before you do anything. It’s a little complicated. Watch YouTube videos on set up.2. Map out the circuit starting with where it plugs in. Mine is plug inside the house which requires a hole through the house and siding. I used an old telephone line hole so I didn’t need to drill. Lucky you if you are starting from the garage.3. Lay in the wire. I needed a straight cutting yard tool to cut through the lawn, I hoses out the cracked in the sidewalk and used a sidewalk/cement caulk to fill and protect the wire.Get the whole circuit back to plug area. Turn on, test.4. Train you dog. Which takes a week or more.Okay, if I read all this I would not have been as enthusiastic to buy. But I really am glad I did. It works great. My dog responded very well. My family is no longer stressed that the dog will run out every time the door opens.Quality product.

I used this in conjunction with a garden fence. With the fence as a visible boundary, training was not needed. My dog figured out really quick what the beep meant. Set up was easy. As a tip, the border settings are for the full diameter from the wire. The beep occurs in the first 20 percent of the distance, then you get the shock. For example, if you set it at 10, that effectively means five feet on either side of the wire (or above, below, etc). The beep will occur for 1 foot, then the shock will happen for the remaining 4 feet, getting stronger as you get closer. So, if you are doing a double loop design (which I did on the fence), you can actually put the wires closer than 5 feet if you adjust the boundary accordingly. Cool product. If it doesn't work, you can go up to the "Stubborn Dog" collar, which delivers quite a wallop. FYI, with this model, if you dog gets out, they will get shocked if they try and get back in.

Works well. I am not disappointed. Keeps my Golden from jumping the fence and getting to the highway. I keep it on the lowest shock possible, and I would rather have a little shock then a dog who has gotten hit by a car on the highway. And to answer the question some may ask....yes I have tested the first 3 levels of shock from the collar, and I would not use a level on my dog that I have not tested on myself.

I used this directly in front of my wood fence since my German Sheppards decided to start digging out and it works perfect. I have not had a problem with them digging since

Such a great price and I was able to get it installed in 5 hours. We just used an edger tool but if you have several acres, it may be worth renting a cable installer tool. We have around 1/3 of an acre and followed the hourglass layout which allows the dog to be in the front or back yard, but requires them to go through the home when going from the front to back yard.Be careful when you take the cap off the collar to change the static level. My first time taking the cap off to change the static level, I used the tool and still stripped the cap. From that point on I had trouble getting the cap off and had to use pliers to get it off. I contacted and they were able to send me a replacement cap. A+ Customer service. I also purchased more replacement parts for the collar on here for only $6.99 for my own ease of mind. My recommendation is to buy a thicker wire than what it comes with.Training the dog was super easy. My dog got to the point of staying inside the perimeter with the tone only. I was nervous to use the static correction during Day 2, but quickly realized it was necessary as she ran through the fence to the neighbor on level 2. She didn’t even feel it on this level. I have a 12lb dog and level 3 correction level ended up working good for her. After a few days of walking the perimeter and being shocked a few times after we baited her with toys, she’s a little shy about being in the yard now but refuses to cross the fence. We can work on the shyness and can be expected. This is so worth your $$ and the is reliable and ready to help with any issues you may have.
