We have a great dog. She just would become a royal brat in very specific circumstances outside, and she was also a digger. Putting a long leash on her solved the problem, but she knew the difference between when she did and didn't have the leash on her, and having a 10-ft leash could be dangerous if she got hung up. With this, the correction is quick and specific to the behavior, which is important. For example, when she's digging, I can hit the button from the house and she thinks the shock is coming from her action and not from any outside force, which is more effective than yelling at her and only teaches her not to dig when I'm around. Just know that it's not a quick fix and involves you to commit to the training (follow the instructions and carry the remote with you at all times, so you can correct your dog EVERY time she does the behavior you want to extinguish).Read full review

I've owned 2 of the Venture Series previous to this new version. The old collars had an adjustable plastic collar with a buckle system that allowed you to pre-set collar tightness and still have the snap-toggle feature. The collar would remain where set and not loosen with dog activity. New nylon collar seems to loosen with use and ineffective sometimes for the correction when you really need it; a nuisance to keep checking on it. Other than that it seems to have good range and is lighter weight and less bulk hardware around my GSP's neck. That I like.

This collar works well. It does what it’s intended to do. However, I do have to agree with other reviewers about the collar getting loose. It is kind of annoying to have to tighten every time my dog goes outside, but at least I was aware that may be an issue so I check it every time to make sure it is tightened. Other than that a good product for the price. I would recommend the company go back to the old style collar where it does t get loose after wear.

We have 2 typically hyperactive, almost incorrigible, 1 year old German Shepherds who are in Cesar Milan training which involves use of an e-collar. Trainer recommended more expensive brands which have many more correction levels that can be changed more quickly on the fly and which have superior collars with buckles, but we had already invested in this device (actually 2). When properly positioned, it definitely works and supports the training process. However, we had to purchase the longer contact points at extra cost due to the thick coat of GSDs. One negative is the nylon collar, which will not hold tight for more than a few hours and is awkward to adjust. I have given only 3 stars otherwise because our female developed a breakdown of her skin which became infected, although this may be a hazard of any e-collar. Nonetheless, I am a believer in a firm training program like Cesar Milan and the incorporation of e-collars. Nothing else was working.Read full review

So far it works great. My dog is very hard headed but as soon as you push the button he changes his attitude. I only have to set it on #5 strength for him to do as commanded. It will make training so much faster and easier. The only problem I see is the collar loosens up on its own so you have to keep an eye on it so it stays snug. Other than that its exactly what I was looking for.
