Bousnic Shock Collar for Dogs - Waterproof Rechargeable Dog Electric Training Collar with Remote for Small Medium Large Dogs with Beep, Vibration, Safe Shock Modes (8-120 Lbs) (Grey)

This collar and remote are by far the most effective I've tried. This review is for the second collar/remote set I've purchased. I've previously purchased several really junky units, or units that I felt were uncomfortable for my dogs. This collar and remote are so much better. The collar unit has three sensations--a beep, a vibrate, and a "zing" (that's what I call it). The beep and vibrate are self-explanatory. The "zing" is interesting, because it is NOT an electric/battery shock like people often think when they see my dogs wearing their collars. The zing feels like a weak version of a "TENS" device stimulation. A lot of physical therapists use the TENS device after a treatment. The sensation doesn't hurt, but it's not comfortable. It's a very weird, gross feeling. It's so hard to explain unless someone has either used a TENS or put the collar on their skin and zinged themselves (which is a REALLY important thing to do, by the way, just to know what your dog will experience). I have one dog that is 17 pounds and another that is 105. My 17-pound guy is a major barker. He HATES the vibration mode. The beep is enough of a deterrent if he hasn't worked himself into a frenzy (which happens quickly, lol), but when I press the vibration button, he stops. The only times I've used the third sensation (I call it the "zing" mode) are once when he ran into the road and wouldn't respond to my call, and recently he started chasing someone's chickens. My 17-pounder (Boo) is the reason I initially purchased the collar, but somehow I lost the remote. We HAVE to have the collar for Boo. The remote can actually run TWO collars by sliding a button (up for one collar and down for the other). So, I purchased a second collar/remote combo (so then I had the new collar, the old collar and a new remote). I programmed the new remote to operate both the old and the new collars. My big guy (Sunny) is a thick-necked, 105-pound lab/retriever mix. The same collar adjusts to be big enough to fit him at the largest point. I hardly ever have to move past the beep with Sunny. It's loud and it irritates him. He'll usually shake his head and stop barking when he hears it. I've only had to use vibrate a handful of times. I have never once had to zing him. The collars have been so helpful, and if these wear out, I will definitely be repurchasing if needed (if I lose the remote again, lol).

This collar works great! The beep is loud enough I can hear it when my cavapoo is another room but not too loud it startles her. It just gets her attention. The vibrate is all we use for a secondary reprimand but the shock option does work. We've just not needed it as of yet. The feel of the controller is soft and nice in the hand and the pink color is adorable. Would recommend!

Works as expected. Adjustable settings. Good for training as you can beep, vibrate, or shock. Beep and vibrate is enough for my dog to learn. Remote is small and easy to carry with you. Charges easily when needed. It stays charged for a very long time. Dog doesn't mind wearing it and wants it back when I take it off. 😄

Overall, this is a really great product and works so well for my dog. Pros: The minute I put it on my dog, her behavior changes. The vibrate only option is great for pet owners that don’t want to use the shock option. The set up and use of the collar is very easy and can be used immediately after receiving the item. Also, the cost is so low compared to other similar products. Finally, the battery lasts for so long. For example, I charged it in the winter (summer now) and the battery is still going strong. I don’t use it daily, but that’s impressive for a device that also just sits in the cabinet too. Cons: There are no replacement parts, so if one of the prongs falls off you are left without that replacement option. Overall, a great product for the price.

LOVE this product. I only had to shock my girl once but followed it with an immediate beep. Now all I have to do is give her a beep and she behaves. Originally purchased because she was lunging at children (not good), but she no longer does and is a perfect lady. Now we wear it on walks in case she starts pulling or off leash when there's a deer ahead. All I ever need to use is the beep. Great settings- beep, vibrate and shock. Adjustable in intensity.

I highly recommend. We have a mini golden doodle who is pretty shy. The beep on the #1 setting is enough to get his attention. We don't have a fenced in yard so my hope is to use this to train him to stay close by and so far it has worked well! I wish it had a wrist strap but otherwise it's great.

It works. But mostly for vibrate. My 40 lb short hair Irish setter barely even flinched at the shock on highest level. But the vibrate is uncomfortable enough for him. My biggest issues are that the prongs will fall off and get lost if you don’t tighten them every single time you put the collar on the dog. My girlfriend didn’t tighten them just one time and now we are prongless and cannot use the zapper even if we wanted to. Also would be so much better if it had an option for a neck strap on the remote.

We were happy to test this updated version of the Bousnic Shock Collar on our 12 pound Bichpoo in many different outdoor environments. We had already been using the earlier model, which has the yellow colored remote and a slightly bulkier collar profile, and have been very happy with the many features included therein, such as, a REALLY long battery life, easy charging capability, the collar receiver device vibrates when it gets powered off, the yellow remote has a nice identifiable color and grippy feel, the yellow remote has a convenient wrist strap to which we have added our own neck strap so it could be used hands-free. On the other hand, the newer model has a sleeker profile than the older one for both the receiver and the remote. The newer receiver has two rubber prongs that seem shorter than the older model, however, if your dog has long fur or a thick neck there are extension prongs that supposedly help. Our dog's neck is small so we didn't need to use the extensions. One downside that we encountered, however, is that unbeknownst to us, the prongs got loose over time (we never had this problem with the older model). We didn't realize that the prongs in the newer model easily unscrew themselves with the constant friction against our dog's fine hair, and, unfortunately, one of them fell off and became lost. We will contact the manufacturer to see how we can get a replacement because without both prongs the device is much less effective. The newer light gray hand held remote is shorter and has a nice look to it, however, we really miss the wrist strap for better security and/or to make it into a hands-free option. This is especially helpful when you have to hold your dog's retractable leash in one hand once you want to go off leash with the e-collar on. Also, a minor downside to the gray color of the newer remote it that it is a little harder to identify and locate when placed on a cluttered counter or tossed in a bag/purse. Overall, the sound and vibrate settings work really well on our dog. Typically all we have to do to get her attention and come back to us immediately is to press the top sound button. We rarely have to resort to the vibrate option. We have never used the shock option because the other two sound and vibrate buttons are effective in getting her to stop in her tracks. One reason we think the Bousnic E-collar has worked so well for us is that we started using it soon after we got her when she was a young puppy. Now at 1 year and 4 months, she responds very well simply to voice command. We still use the e-collar on her when she is off leash at the beach, in the woods, or open fields just for safe measure if she were to go behind a tree or romp off in the distance and we want her to come back within view. One never knows if a squirrel or another distraction may suddenly catch her attention and lead her to go a bit astray. The e-collar gives us a lot of peace of mind when she is off leash. We attribute our positive results to early intervention, consistent use of the well designed Bousnic e-collar (we used older the yellow version) and our dog's intelligence. We would highly recommend the e-collar with a few tweaks: advise owners to check and tighten the rubber screw-in contacts of the collar device frequently and improve the design so they don't unscrew so easily, add a strap to the hand remote, perhaps add a flash of color or bright logo somewhere so it's easier to identify, and restore the vibration shut off feature back into the collar receiver device, and perhaps better weatherproofing. The newer collar device is slightly more sleek and maybe a tiny lighter. This matters especially for smaller dogs such as ours. One last comment is about the buttons on the remote. Since we take our dog to the beach a lot, granules of sand tend to attach to the button panel of the remote. I wonder if there is a way to have a more impervious seal between the buttons and housing of the remote so granules cannot get stuck or even water droplets in case it rains or snows? There is a warning that the remote is not waterproof. Maybe at some point the design can be tweaked to be more weatherproof and less vulnerable to sand and dust particles entering into the button crevices. Thanks for this opportunity to test a really good device. I would highly recommend the Bousnic shock collar with the few reservations I have mentioned.

The product works as show in the description

I have purebred Frenchie, they're a very stubborn breed and require lots of active training. However they have selective hearing so they often choose not to listen at all. My honest opinion on this collar is 1. This is a CORRECTIVE training collar. It is NOT meant to be automatic and is not designed to DISCIPLINE your dog. It is meant for active training, not for the dog to have it on forever. 2. If used correctly, it works very well. The idea behind a corrective collar is 2 warnings then a shock. This teaches the dog that they should follow a command before the first warning (the beep). It has been very effective within the first 24hrs as it is to be used for ALL commands (if your dog doesn't follow the command, hit the beep, repeat command and if not followed, hit the vibration button, repeat command 1 last time, if not followed hit shock. My dog has recognized if she doesn't follow the command the beep will sound and she usually immediately corrects herself and follows the command. 3. It is well built for a corrective collar, comes with the safe shock covers which are perfect, my dog listens well and it works well with free roaming and recall practice (have tested up to 800ft). It has proven to be a very effective training tool and I will continue to use this brand and recommend it. Very easy set up and works well, can easily control 2 dogs by switching channels (with extra collar). Please note that this collar is meant to fit dogs small- extra large so you may have to trim the collar down if you have a small-medium sized dog. As its nylon its easy to cut and then melt the edge so it doesn't fray and rip apart. I cut it down with about 4 inches left over as my dog is still a puppy and needs room to grow into it. So please make sure you cut it with room to spare in case of adjustments. My dog is very comfortable in it and is able to sleep just fine, i do take it off at night to charge it, however it last all day and im sure I could get more then one day out of a single charge. Taking her collar off at night is simply apart of her training to show that it won't be on permanently but she is still expected to follow command when it is off. Please remember that dogs will always push boundaries when training is involved, its your job to remind them that your in charge and to be respected but not feared. A scared dog is not a loyal one.

No intentions to use static shock as I don’t want to traumatize my pet, only using it to beep to bring his attention and the remote works from far distance

I should’ve bought this a long time ago. My families dog stopped barking with only the vibration mode. No more headaches from now on.

El collar llegó antes de lo esperado. Llegó en una caja con buena presentación, como si fuera Apple, se ve de buena calidad y bonito diseño. Lo he usado 2 dias con mi perro labrador y funciona perfectamente, hasta ahora no he usado la descarga eléctrica porque la vibración no le gusta y con eso es suficiente para que obedezca. La descarga electrica la probé en mi brazo y del nivel 1 al 3 no sentí nada, el nivel 4 y 5 es muy poco lo que se siente, el nivel 6 ya se siente y mas allá no lo probé. Estoy muy contento con la compra, puedo caminar con mi perro por la calle sin necesidad de correa. Lo recomiendo absolutamente
