No products found.
The PatPet Waterproof Shock Collar has up to 3 feet of waterproof protection and a 900-ft range, making it the perfect accessory for any pool or lake lover. Plus, with this rechargeable dog collar’s low price point and high-quality craftsmanship, you can’t go wrong!
Does your pup constantly stray into forbidden rooms? No worries! Follow them all around the house – even indoors – with short-range. Pets don’t seem to like it when bigger dogs approach them first so get one of these for your little guy before they become a victim.
Shock collars are sometimes controversial but we know that if people used ours too often then their pet would quickly learn what behaviors were off-limits.
Pros
- Waterproof – Take your dog to the lake. A dog can play in up to 3 feet of water in and out for up to 30 minutes and the collar still works! No worries about using it in the rain or wet snow.
- Huge range – up to 900 feet
- Works on small dogs (5 lbs) up to large dogs (100 lbs)
- A fast 2-hour charge lasts for up to 30 days of use
- Even works indoors with short-range
- Affordable and high quality
Cons
- Doesn’t come with a wall charger – USB cord only. You’ll need to provide your own wall adaptor
- Advertises a 3,000-foot range but the manual says 300 meters max (900 feet)
- Collar plays a tone each time you trigger it even in vibrate or shock mode. This can be annoying.
Best for Long-Distance Up to 2,500 Feet – Flittor Dog Training Collar
No products found.
The Flittor Shock Collar is top of the line when it comes to small shock collars. In comparison to most other models, the stunningly simple interface on this model sets it apart from others. You can attach up to three dogs with individual settings and memory buttons for each one.
One of its features that make us happy is the super long range – up to 2,500 feet!
The only drawback? The battery dies faster than other models and the max shock isn’t that strong. It may not get your dog’s attention at long range.
Pros
- 2,500 feet of training radius (half a mile, be careful that you can still see your dog, that’s far!)
- 3 memory settings so you can easily set up for 3 different dogs. This is also visually displayed in an easy to see manner.
- Water-resistant
- Fast 2-hour recharge
Cons
- The charge doesn’t last as long as other models. It charges fast (2 hours) but only lasts 15 days instead of 30.
- Battery loses rechargeability faster than other models.
- High shock settings are misleading and not as strong as other models. Test it on your arm first.
Best for Budget
No products found.
The iDogin Shock Collar is made for those who are looking for a lighter collar that’s much more affordable. This model would be perfect if your dog is fairly responsive to you. However, we do recommend checking out the top pick as it can hold up better with higher levels of distraction – although there will be a bigger price tag too. The lightweight plastic collar makes this comfortable and less smelly when used in the rain but be sure to check the gaskets and tighten the screws first as some units have let rain in.
Pros
- 900 feet range
- Often cheaper than other models but check the button above for current price and availability
- Comes with LED light mode for night training!
- Also comes with a standard beep, vibration, and shock at different level modes
- Water-resistant
- Nylon collar doesn’t get moldy and smell – We find this one better for playing in the rain
Cons
- Another weak collar at higher shock levels. Don’t use this collar if your dog is easily distracted. See the top pick or second pick above. They have much higher shock levels.
- Doesn’t hold a charge long
- Be careful with swimming – Some units have a poor fit around the gasket with loose screws that let water into the battery compartment. Check screws before any swimming.
It isn’t unusual to come across dogs that just don’t tolerate collar wear for substantial periods. If your pooch is part of that category, you may want to look at the iDogin Dog Shock Collar.
It has a range that’s remote and extends to a maximum of 2,500 feet. People who have penchants for yard and community park pooch training sessions frequently gravitate to this product.
What exactly makes this iDogin collar so terrific for dogs that find collars to be so unpleasant and unbearable? It has a PU (polyurethane) collar that owners can tweak without issue.
Its material is sturdy and resilient and therefore doesn’t bother dogs at all. If you want your pet to be able to take it easy while sporting his or her collar, this one may be the greatest choice for you.
Indoor Small Radius Shock Collar
No products found.
A rechargeable shock collar for training dogs. It works on any sized dog, has a range of 330 yards, which is great for indoor training, and can be used to set different trigger styles.
Includes 9 programmable slots for up to 9 dogs. Comes with static electric stimulation in three different forms: vibration alone if your pup responds to that; an audible warning tone when they do something off-limits while you’re away; or an automatic simulated correction that may startle but usually stops bad behavior without injury.
Pros
- Less accidental shock
- Great model just like the top pick. Sometimes a bit cheaper. Check the price and availability with the button above.
- Can program up to 9 different dogs into it, each with a different trigger-style for them (beep, vibration, or shock at different levels) – We always use our shock collars like a clicker, just to get the dog’s attention. We recommend you do the same and this collar gives you that flexibility to find the lowest setting that works.
- 330 yards range (990 feet)
- Great for indoor training – keep your dog off the table!
- Works on small to extra large dogs
Cons
- Instructions are vague and hard to follow – use online tutorials instead
- Level 99 is very powerful – A human can feel that through their arm down to their knees. Choose settings with caution!
How do radius dog shock collars work?
Answer: A radius dog shock collar is worn by the dog and communicates with a remote control that the owner carries. The collars use tone, vibration, or shocks to get the dog’s attention and keep them close to the owner. They are especially helpful in areas where dogs are allowed to roam free since they will let you hike with your dog without them running away.
