Best Electronic Dog Training Collars (Jan 2023 Update)

These collars work great with a little bit of time and training. After a year of use, with supervision, I can now take my dogs (Basenji & G.Shep) outside on our 3 acres without the collars because they have now learned the boundaries. My favorite feature of these collars is the nightlight and the beep function. The nightlight is perfect for going out at night and keeping my eyes on where each dog is located. The beep function is fantastic, my dogs have learned the beep means to turn around and come back. During training I used the shock function (level 8 & I did test the level of intensity on my own leg) only a handful of times when absolutely necessary and it's never used now. Both dogs now respond to the beep and if they're chasing a deer they'll stop to the vibrate function. The two CONS I have with these collars are the rubber covers for the progs come off so easily when the dogs are wrestling and get lost constantly. The other con is that I've had the collars close to a year now and the rechargeable batteries within the device are dying. The collars are on charge constantly now so that they are charged up for when they are needed. The collar dies within about 8 hours before it needs a charge even if it's turned off. Whereas when I first got them the charge lasted about a week. This is after treating them correctly, turning off when not in use and only charging when needed.Elizabeth R.

I have used this collar for 2-3 years now, I went with it as it is one of the highest rated collars when researched. I do run into technical difficulties as you do with anything else and have had no problem with having them replaced. I favorite part is the range and diverse control settings. When my dogs are out of the yard, I just hit the sound button and they know they have went to far and to get back. They come usually immediately. My least favorite part is the product does not seem to last very long.. in the two to three years I’ve used this, I have had to get a few replaced and all with different problems. I recently bought a brand new set of two, and I am very happy. I just have a problem with one of them flashing the green light constantly while the device is on and the battery life on that specific collar does not last. Overall still my favorite collar, although I haven‘t used anything else!Sarah

I love how the vibration & shock can be set from 0-99. The sound tones are also pitched slightly different for each collar & has the option to add a third collar. I’ve had this for months & the battery in the remote lasts extremely long. I think I’ve only charged it once. The collars last days as well. The only thing I wish was easier is the ability to switch over from each channel. When you switch from shock to vibrate, the first click is to switch over, then the second click actually vibrates the collar (& vice versa). When switching over to the other channel, you have to follow the same procedure. Which is fine for normal circumstances. But, when it’s an emergent situation, that extra time it takes to shock/ vibrate the other collar can make a huge difference & lead to a struggle in a stressful situation.Erin

I'll first start by saying I never do reviews. However I was at my wits end with our nine month old chiweenie. I thought my husband was going to kill me and the dog…and I was praying my neighbors did not have guns because this little 8 pound cutie barked like a 100 lb squealing pig at anything and everything! Previous to this device I tried the citronella collar and the ultrasonic remote. Neither phased her. I will say on day one I thought this thing was a piece of junk. I called pet safe and learned that the collar needs to be tightly fitted on the dogs neck or it will not work. After adjusting the collar and I was still on the phone with the representative my Daisy girl went outside and I witnessed it working immediately. We still have some light barking which I imagine occurs before the strengthened static but it is completely manageable. I will say after reading the reviews we have lucked out with the battery… It has been in use with an aggressive Barker for a month and still has not needed to be replaced. Our only downside is that the collar is bulky… I take it off when she comes inside. If I do forget to put it on when she goes outside she will bark up a storm again! PETSAFE RESPONSE Thank you for sharing your experience, Melisa! We are glad to hear that our bark collar has done the trick to keep your Chiweenie's barking down. You may find it helpful to know that we have a smaller unit that is not so bulky that can be seen here : http://store.petsafe.net/deluxe-little-dog-bark-controlMelisa W.

I bought two Basic Static Bark collars to help alleviate my puggle's and beagle's separation anxiety barking when we are not at home. The collars are fitted properly and in accordance with instructions and the batteries are working, yet BOTH dogs continue to bark. The biggest problem is that both collars tend to move to one side of the dogs' necks, so the dogs are probably not receiving the static correction. The directions state to "REPOSITION THE COLLAR ON THE PET'S NECK EVERY 1 TO 2 HOURS.." Obviously, if we are not home, this is impossible to do. I wasted almost $100 on collars that do not work on either dog. Petsafe customer service recommended that I should purchase the more expensive Deluxe Petsafe Collar. No thanks. I'm done wasting my money! PETSAFE RESPONSE Thank you for taking the time to review the Basic Static Bark Collar. We are terribly sorry to hear that it did not work well for your puggle and beagle, and can understand your frustration! These collars must be lined up with the vocal cords in order to detect the vibration of the bark. It is possible that an alternate strap that is more like a belt instead of the nylon make make a difference. Please reach out to us at 1-866-738-4379.M.

I bought this about a week ago after I received a complaint from a neighbor and was given a warning from our HOA for disturbance. We had just moved in about a month ago and didnt want to make enemies. My dog barks at everything. From shadows, birds to airplanes. I decided to give this a try. I was skeptical and thought for sure this wouldn't work. I put it on my dog and let him loose in the backyard. Sure enough he barked once and to my surprise, stopped! I noticed there were people walking their dogs (we lived right next to the dog trail) and sure enough my dog darts out to the back yard and again barked once, then stopped. I was shocked! I wanted to see if it was really working so I took it off and my dog ran out there and started his annoying bark. I called him in and out the collar back on and again ran out but this time he did not bark. I must have done this about 3-4 times and the results were the same. Here we are 1 week from the day I bought it and my dog's behavior has completely changed. Everytime I let him out to potty, I'll put his collar on and no unnecessary barking from him. I would have never thought we'd get to where we are now. I'm not even exaggerating when i say my dog barked all the time and now he knows not to.Milosmommy702

This product is a game changer. I have a rescue cat that loves to meow only at night when it's time to go to bed. I've been dealing with this for the last possible year using any and everything humane way to try to quiet her down. As our last resort I purchased this collar. I think it works because cats are so sensitive just the the sound and vibration settings work on her. I wish I could have told my past self to make this investment sooner. This was worth every penny. . .and if it doesn't work you and your rescue, you can return it. Talk about a game changer.Brandi

Overall I am not too impressed. It did work as far as the beeping, but the sound it emits scared my other dog that didn’t wear the collar enough that she would shake for several minutes after. Vibration didn’t cause either of my dogs wearing the collar to edit their behavior, but you could feel the different levels of you tried it in your hand. Shock had no effect on either dog.Red

This product took awhile to receive, so keep that in mind when ordering. However, its been a great training device for our puppy! Im very pleased with it so far.Sherrie

These training collars come as a set for 2 dogs. There is 2 collars and 1 remote. They work great. The instructions are easy to follow and the collars are adjustable so they can be for large or small dogs. The clip makes it easy for putting the collar on and off. You are supposed to give your dog a break from these around their neck like any of other training collar. My dogs all I need is the beep and the vibration options but it does have a shock option as well and the vibration and shock are adjustable. You can switch from one dog to the other using the button on the side with the 1 and 2 on it. Overall a good shock collar for your money. No issues with it so far.Chris

We purchased this with it stating it was a new collar. The actual collar that it came on has been cut off. There is no charger with it. It does seem to work but with the collar being cut it won't fit our hounds & without a charger u cant charge it. It came in a envelope, not in a box like the new ones do.boyces08

Works great my husband is using it on our Dogo for a hunting trip in the woods. Great price, great quality and shipping was prompt.la_reina426

This is the second time I have ordered a mini collar from this retailer. Both collars worked as they should and for the money a good deal.denvau_15

I have used the collar several times and it does the job for me. The distance indicated on the receiver can be off as much as forty yards at times but the closer I move to my dog the more accurate the distance.Pointer0919

It is not user friendly. The icons for the dog and your location are too small and the contrast on the screen makes it hard to see the little icons in sunny conditions. The collar that came in the box is not bright green as it shows on the box. It is a medium green, harder to see on the dog than the bright green I thought I was getting. Although it states it is for use for all types if dogs, the booklet and DVD are all geared for a bird dog.Anonomous reviewer

I heard about this product from a friend last winter and after researching it and many other invisible fences, This was by far the one to get. I installed it myself in about 2-3 hrs…I live in the country and just laid the wire on the ground around aprox. 1 acre. no need to bury it at this point however that may change, (we'll see)…the ease of install and very easy to follow instructions left me feeling great, it was too easy. I have three dogs and thought it would be a chore to train and familiarize them to the area of confinement. I was stunned that after the first time out with each dog (one at a time), as dogs do they found the edge of the border very quickly and after discovering the entire perimeter they settled in and love being off the 25' leash I had them on. In any event, if you are questioning yourself about this product DON'T. For me it was a total "easy button".Charlie2509

After having an Innotek in-ground fence for almost 10 years, our collars died and we were looking to replace the system. There was nothing out there comparable, except for SportDog. I've had it set up for about 4-5 days. So far, it's great. I have the 'contain and train' with remote trainer, and it's a bit more complicated than our Innotek, which did not have the remote. It works great: It gives a warning vibration and sound prior to a shock. Our dog knows the routine, so he stops at the beeping sound. It hooked right up to our current in-ground copper wire ( about 5 acres worth) and works great. No need to replace in ground wire. Potential Cons: The 'box' on the collar is about twice the size and weight of the Innotek. It's really big and heavy. I thought the Innotek one was more than I wanted to leave on my dog, but this SportDog is MUCH bigger and seems like it would be uncomfortable and annoying. Our dogs are about 40-45 pounds and they are ok for that size, but a smaller dog it would just be way too big. For the record, our dog doesn't seem like it bothers him, but I would still like it about half the size and weight it is now. The manual says to only leave on for 12 hours at a time, but that's not practical. The dog knows he can run off when the collar is not on, sooooo…. what's the point if your dog is not protected 24/7? I leave it on all the time and just make sure to leave it loose enough that it doesn't poke him. As long as it's on, he doesn't go near the boundary. Compared to our straightforward Innotek collars, this system is like a camera that has a LOT of bells and whistles. There are so many options that it makes it difficult and more time consuming to set up (even for someone extremely familiar with and experienced with systems like this) , and there are features you may not use. That said, it IS nice to have those features and options. You just have to read through the manual, which is kind of lengthy, and it was hard to find what I was looking for for basic set up. So be prepared to have a highlighter on hand and highlight those areas that you will use a lot for basic operation, so you can find them again easily.oregondesperado

The provided wire isn’t strong enough for our use, we ordered 16 gauge extreme dog wire. The rest of the system has been great. We have a strong willed Siberian Husky and it works great with her.Jeepjal

It is great to have clear choices and not fumble around double clicking for dog one or dog two or hitting shock accidentally. This transceiver is goof proof!cindywhoo1

Very satisfied with the way this item works. It is simple to operate. The only problem is you have to take cover off the collar to turn it on and replace it to protect the controls.deb DH

Does not work at 100 yards as advertised. I bought this because I have a big yard and the invisible fences do not offer a big enough range for my dog to roam. I bought this trainer because of the 100 yard range it claimed to have, thinking I could give my dog more room to play and run. My house sets about 80 yards off the road in front of our house. I have tried several times to correct my from the house before he gets to the road and it would not work.I have to be with-in 30 yards of my dog before it works. Once I'm with-in 30 yards it works great and my dog responds well to the correction. I wish I had shopped around more before bought this collar.JDPK

I had the older model for 4 years and loved it, Bought this unit because I thought I was upgrading and other collar battery was no good. This doesn't hold charge for more than 2 days.. No warning that battery is low as in previous model. Too expensive for this item and quality. I wish I could Return. I live on several acres, I need a collar I can depend on.Elaine727

I have a crazy dog that is a Lab-Pointer. He was the worse in his puppy class. I have trained dogs before, big dogs and hunting dogs. This guy doesn’t get it! He gets the trading collar though. I have had this for months. I only shocked him once. I rarely “ buzz” him on a low vibrational mode to stop unwanted behaviors like over exuberant jumping on visitors. It works. I have the upland hunting version, partly for locating the dog in thick brush, same brand. Both are very helpful. This one year old dog has done well on several pheasant hunts and game land excursions.FishHawk90

I bought the XC Bundle for training my 10 month old Drahthaar after I was disappointed with another brand…I love Cabela's Customer service and return polices, no issues retiring the previous product. I won't mention the other brand but wished I had went with Garmin from the beginning. I find it hard to believe the negative reviews on this product after my experience with it this winter. I've had no issues with battery life in the collar or handheld…its actually surprised me with how will its performed in cold weather and direct water contact training my dog in Lake Ontario,…the 1/2 mile range is more then enough for both training and field work. The control buttons are excellent, don't be fooled by guys saying dial buttons are better, this handheld is well built and very nice to carry and I've never accidentally changed settings, and you can work the buttons with light gloves easily. The contact points are great…the long version is perfect for my dogs dense wire coat. I honestly do not have a negative thing to say about this purchase..if you do not need the bark control feature the Delta XC will do everything you need it to. Don't hesitate buying this productDogDown

Bought the Delta XC couple of years ago and had no luck getting my stubborn dog to respond. Finally out of frustration I hired a qualified trainer to get this dog’s reactive aggression under control. Told the trainer that I had one of these after the first session where the dog was not giving into our will. Trainer took the time to educate how it works and why. Helped us set it up and we began using this as a tool to get compliance. It really hasn’t taken long to get the dog to understand the command, the mild correction (2-4 setting), and the treat or no treat for compliance. The dog is by no means perfect, but barking can now be controlled with command and either tone or small correction. Dog recall is much improved as before the dog would not come when called. Now, call once. If no response, call a 2nd time and add a minor correction and the dog returns to me immediately.Thanks Bob

We’ve been using our Garmin Delta Sport XC for quite some time now, and it’s been working pretty much flawlessly. Sometimes our GSP reacts more, as though she’s more sensitive to the static signal, but then she’s a stubborn dog that *wants* a stronger signal than most dogs. She usually responds best at 13-High. (She’s trained to the collar as a signal for the most part, not so much as a “correction.”) The dogs wear their collars every day from wake-til-bed without issue. The remote’s signal strength seems to be at least 1/2-mile through heavily wooded terrain, so it’s lived up to our expectations.Joyce

Worth the money. We wanted the alpha 200 but couldn’t wait any longer for it to be in stock. I bought this for my puppy who is deaf and needed a way to train her since we take her everywhere we go. The functions work great. I’m still learning too. But for the price and what I needed it for was well worth the moneyNicole

I have German Shorthaired Pointers. I use this for hunting, camping, and horseback riding. My dogs run pretty big. I love and rely on this tracker. I only gave it 4 stars because it doesn't have the range that's advertised. 2-3 miles max, on flat terrain. When Garmin first came out with the Astro 15 years ago, I thought it was pretty expensive and hesitated to buy it. Then I lost a dog for 3 days, missing 2 days of work and hiking 20+ miles and lost 7lbs in one day. Then it didn't seem so expensive. The price hasn't gone up for the Astro after all this time. And the Alpha has been extremely reliable after 1 year of 24/7 use. (My dogs are escape artists)tina

I had the Astro 220 and traded up to the Alpha 100. Purchase 2 T5 for field trials and 5 TT15. It is great to know where your dogs are running at all times. Training pups has gotten so much easier. You know if they slip away from the pack or are having trouble finding their way back in. I highly recommend the Alpha and Outdoor Dog Supply. You can trade in your old gear and move to a better Technology. GreggGregg M

I have hunted 6 times now with the device. Has only lost contact one time in very deep brush for about 10 seconds. Otherwise this has been spot on. Already saved my dog once when he was caught on a branch from his vest. Well worth the price. Battery life actually seems better than reported. I’ve only had to charge it one time for six different hunts. Each lasting about 3 to 4 hours. Hopefully it lasts for years and years!Ryan7

Wish you could give more options.Like colors,adding brass plate,etc.Other than that it's a great deal.Works like it's a new one.ekmorr-75

I have a pup that is a large breed, he looks like I been feeding him steak and potatoes cause he's so dang big. He is ALL puppy though. Chews on everything loves running around like a chicken with its head cut off. Been trying to train him to chill with me, yeah, right. He wants to play. And because he wants to play, he wants to run every stinkin where. Decided, for my sanity as well as his safety, I'd get this thing. Put the flags out, set it on a low static charge, and it didn't take long before he figured it out. You DO have to WORK a dog with this. It's not just a plug it up and watch their hair shoot up when they get popped. Walked him around the perimeter for 7 days, he sees and sniffs the flags. After that, I let him run around, and he got popped maybe 3 times, and figured it out. Now he's pretty dang happy, and I can let him rip around with zoomies while I work in the yard. He likes the freedom of being off leash in the yard, and like the fact that he's not road burger.SlimslowShady

I wanted to give it 5 stars so bad, but the batteries die pretty fast without warning. You need to keep at least one or two replacements on hand.

I have a 2 yr old LARGE French Mastiff that weighs 180ish! I bought with the (red in color) “stubborn” collar. We previously installed a wired underground fence. (Which I have to mention took 2 FULL DAYS TO INSTALL AND READY TO USE!!) My Bo would realize he was close to the boundary, take a step or two back then take a run right through it, with no second thought!!! We watched him do this several times. I guess he was thinking, well this is going to hurt but only for a few short seconds. Idk?? But it did NOT phase him one bit! I had talked to 4 or 5 people that had this system, so reluctantly I decided to give it a try. I thought to myself well if it doesn’t work I will simply return it, no harm no foul. My boyfriend had it installed and collar on Bo in 30 mins flat. We walked ole hard-headed Bo around maybe 4 times to show him the boundaries. Once he heard the beeping, he kept walking then he felt the shock 1 time and that must have been enough because he never ventured close again! It has been about 2 months of use and I would give it 100 STARS IF IT WAS AN OPTION! We live in a subdivision where houses are fairly close. I was ultimately worried that the zone would lead into the neighboring yard. (which was the #1 thing we are trying to prevent) And although it may, Bo doesn’t even attempt to go that far. I believe he now understands to stay in his own yard! Living in a subdivision, many people take walks and Bo just sits and watches them now!! Matter of fact, just to see, we have sent him outside WITHOUT the collar and ironically enough HE STAYS IN OUR YARD!! The ONLY complaint I have is the small clear piece on the collar broke off the first time I went to adjust the strength of the shock. So far it hasn’t effected anything so fingers crossed on that! Just an FYI, we set ours on a level 3 to begin with and my boyfriend was ready to give up, so I told him to have some patience and we just kept adjusting the level on the collar and we ended up discovering for Bo he needed to be set on a #6. Again, I repeat he weighs 180 lbs, and the Mastiff bread is KNOWN for their stubbornness. I would suggest starting at the lowest level for a smaller dog PLEASE! But, if you are hesitant as myself, about this system just give it a try AND I PROMISE YOU WILL BE SO SURPRISED!!!!! I love this system, and just hope that it lasts!!!!!!Owner of French Mastiff

We were initially worried that this product might not be the best for our little schnauzer, but it has proved to be very effective without hampering his socialising. He has quickly learned that he shouldn’t bark when wearing the collar. He wears it for short periods, as per the comprehensive instructions. He is happy for us to put it on, so we are confident that the experience isn’t harmful or frightening. A very good training tool.Claire W

Stopped the shrill barking in 2 hours! Seven-month-old GSD lost her mind in her crate when you were doing anything but paying attention to her. This allowed her to learn quickly and now we associate the 'quiet' command when she stops. We've had the collar less than 24 hours. I no longer feel like I have to work at a supersonic speed to get anything done with the other dogs. I wish I would have gotten this sooner.Quieter In Florida

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! DT systems has gone downhill. This company used to make a quality product. I get maybe 40yds of range before it starts to lose response. I will be trashing this and buying a Dogtra or Garmin.Rose Herrera

Taking back to the store. This was hit or miss. I turned it a the way up and my GSD never felt it, and then sone rines she would xeel ir. Also the on/off on the colmar did not work.RAFox

This product is a blessing! My dog was an escape artist, but no more. He also is more into the family now, then trying to run and get out! He learned real quick where his boundries are and stays within them! I opened one of the side gates and tried to call him through it and he wanted no part of it, until I shut down the gate and then he came to me! The product works and recommened it to all my freinds!RadicalRick

The wire hook up was light weight and cheap. When the connectors fall of you can twist the wire around the pig tails from the outside alloawing it to work.tippintfarms

This product will shock your animal inside! We have a 6 pound chihuahua who is now utterly confused. The collar picked up on the housing wiring and went off repeatedly before we could figure out what was going on. Maybe it's just our home, but we are really having to convince the puppy that it's okay to be inside.Dennis

This was a waste of my money and time. Bought this system hoping it would work keeping my dogs in my yard. It doesn't. One It took forever to arrive since it's an international purchase. Two when you adjust distance above 5 radio signal is weak. Three the shock setting is so low doesn't stop dog and you can't adjust shock setting. So for me it was a loss of my money.Samantha B.

This product has changed my chaotic home environment for the better. I have a one year old husky who has an extreme amount of energy and cannot be trusted off the leash. This product has allowed her to not only be able to burn off energy but have a whole new quality of life. She has so much freedom and she loves it. She learned very quickly to respect her boundaries and never tests them.Joey R.

Overall the collar works great. My dogs stay in the yard now and the dogs understand that when it beeps to come back. It’s really nice to be able to adjust the distance so if you want to shrink the distance or expand it you easily could. I have an acre and a half and it easily covers the whole property with the setting still below the 100 range. So I’d assume you may be able to do 5 acres. The only issue is occasionally it acts like it’s super far away like there is a signal blocking the transponder, so it’d beep at the dog but it only happened with one dog so it could be a coincidence. I use my collar almost every day on one dog and it’s keeps all the dogs in the yard. I’d say this collar is a great investment without having to dig a trench in your yard to bury a wire.Brooke O.
