I’ve had this collar for a few weeks and it still hasn’t died yet. I don’t use the shock feature however, just the sound and vibration. My schnauzer is pudding but he tends to see people from a distance and barks non-stop. I give him the beep as a warning. I’ve only had to use the vibration twice. Very well made. I did have to cut the collar shorter because the length was too long but that’s about it.
