Completely changed everything with our dog
We have a rescue dog that the rescue people said was a Border Collie x Staffordshire Terrier. We got a DNA test and it turned out to be 40% Pitbull, 20% American Bulldog, then a mix of Rottweiller, Doberman, Dogue de Bordeaux, and Dogo Argentino.He is powerful and he is stubborn.We had a trainer who was entirely focused on only using positive reinforcement, this was ok in a low stimulus environment, but outside the house it wasn't working at all. We struggled using her methods for a long time and I felt frustrated and had started to dislike our dog. Eventually we got a different trainer who also used positive reinforcement but this one used e-collars as well so I ordered this Garmin.Now our stubborn dog, who had no recall, and would previously pretend he couldn't hear us, after using this collar just a few times, has dramatically changed his behavior and he's now much more like the good cooperative dog outside the house as he used to be inside.It has changed everything about how I feel about him and our family relationship with him. He still gets distracted sometimes and I give him a chance to remember to do what I say before I give him a little buzz, but I can now if I need to I can give him a little zap along with a command if he forgets himself, so I'm much more comfortable letting him play in places where I previously would have kept him on the lead because he was too unpredictable.If you have a stubborn dog then try this collar. But learn how to use it before you put it on your dog. Don't expect your dog to be able to do things it hasn't been trained to do. This is another tool that sometimes seems magical, but it's not magic and if you treat it like it is then you will just hurt your dog.Garmin have some quite good videos about using it, finding the correct level (essentially use the lowest level that has an effect).With such a powerful training tool you could do a lot of harm very quickly if you use it at the wrong time or use it at the wrong levels.Pick your moments, and know when not to use it as well.Also I suggest you try it on your own arm or leg so you understand how the effect ramps up, at level 1 I can barely feel it, level 2 it feels like someone lightly scratching my arm, but by level 6 it feels very painful.

If your dog bolts, use this!
Awesome product - works like a charm. I won't take my dog outside without it. It gives him the needed freedom without needing to send him out on a farm. Quality is also amazing!

Worth every penny !
I have a 2 year old 90lbs female yellow lab who loves swimming in the river and just roam our property and this couldn't work any better for her. We have previously tried to go with cheaper options but they never pan out. I do not know what exactly this on does different but she responds every single time to just the Beep alone. We have yet to need the shock which is a huge plus for us.

If used properly, this thing is a game changer!!
We have a 7 month old chocolate Labrador pup who has been blasting through our invisible fence brand e fence. Rather than splurge and buy a new stubborn dog invisible fence that may or may not work, I decided to buy an ecollar, figuring it was a less expensive way to see if our Willy would train with a bit more juice.I looked at a lot of different options but settled on the garmin sport pro based on other reviews and that I wanted someone in the $200 range that would last and not be a novelty. Overall very happy with the build and first impressions of the unit.I really like the following:- ability to beep and or vibrate before giving correction. If trained properly, your pup should start to respond to these eventually without having to correct.- waterproof...don't swim Willy more than probably 20x a year but it's already handy in the wet snow... don't have to worry about it.- led lights. Thought this was a gimmick when purchased but it is really nice to be able to give Willy the lighting "ground effects" so that I can see him at night in the woods on walks.- analog, 10 level correction I wouldn't buy a digital dial-- too much fumbling and looking at it when adjusting levels. Ice you get the hang of it and know your starting level, can adjust easily without looking.- garmin has training videos on u tube which are helpful.Now for operation...At first the pup didn't feel a thing and I thought the collar was snug enough. After doing more research, I replaced the short pins with the long ones and really tightened it down. I found that Willy will notice something (no pain or yelp) at 2. I can use this for general training with zero distractions. With high temptations/distractions (e.g. Wanting to bolt for another dog or person) , level 4 usually does the trick. The goal is to grab attention without freaking the dog out and making him fearful. The most I've had to use is 5 and now most of the time a few beeps and he either stays or comes, depending upon the commandBottom line is this has been an extremely helpful training tool and Willy loves wearing it Because he gets freedom off the leash. Just this morning I took him on a walk and there were ids playing on a frozen pond. Typically, he would just take off to greet them and the. Run all over the place without coming back...until after a 39 minute cat and mouse, with me ready to lose it. A few beeps and he didn't even try to approach them, gave him praise and we went on our way and played fetch in the woods. This thug has really been a game changer for both of us. If used properly the dog is NOT being harmed and is not fearful or changing his demeanor what so ever, other than gaining control and trust. The goal is lots of praise, NOT punishment. Highly recommend this product.Downsides:Would like battery to last longer. I sometimes leave it on him during the day if I'm around and the battery doesn't have much left in the evening. It will appear to be working per led, but beeps and correct diminish.- collar is long enough to harness a Holstein cow. I snugged it tight, marked it , left about 6 inches for growth and then cut itOverall very pleased and would recommend, game changer for quality time off leash with our pup.Pic is pup with collar on. Doesn't irritate him at all, even snugged up.

Good BUT plan on extra costs
The main device and handheld are good. Make sure to start with a low setting. My dog jumped 10 feet in the air when I put it on level 2. Knocked down a star because the plastic collar is cheap and hard to fit. Plan on replacing with a bungee type e-collar. Also does not come with a wrist strap, belt clip or the carabiner clip for the remote. It would have cost them less then $5 to include these. Instead you have to buy separately at $15 each.

Not the most intuitive, but it does work well once you learn it
It works quite well - including with 3 collars linked to the same controller. My main complaint is that it is nor very intuitive to control the various features. Despite me being very technically minded, I found myself having to resort to referring to the owners guide for the first couple of weeks to figure out how to do what I was wanting with the different modes. Eventually I learned it, but its not as simple as you may assume. My other complaint is that you can't control the blinking lights on the collars which can be quite bright. They are fine when the dogs are outside, but we often use the collars inside especially for the bark limiting feature. In the dark evening, those blinking lights will light up the whole room briefly, and they do so every few seconds.
