The device arrived exactly as described. The dog trainer is very easy to use, and has a great battery life. I had purchased a static correction collar 10 yrs ago for a different dog, and that one cost 3x as much as this one for a single collar/remote, and required coin batteries as well. I really appreciate that this training kit not only allows me to train two dogs, but also uses rechargeable batteries. My only complain is actually with the strap for the collar; it is of a cheaper material, and does not seem as durable as the collar I had used before (the collar for the older one was braided nylon). However, this is just a minor ding, as the straps are totally replaceable, where the collar I had used before was not (it contained the radio antenna), and again, this collar is a steal at the price I paid ($43).rnrnA very flexible tool for training your dog. The older dog did not need more than a day with the collar before she realized that we were serious about training; My 1-yr-old Pit Bull/Labrador mix, however, needs more time under collar, but has learned very quickly that the different settings are an escalation, so when he hears the beep, he settles down; I rarely have to use the static correction setting. I do like the fact that this collar has a great range (I can correct bad behavior from anywhere in my townhouse), and I really appreciate the vibrate setting, as it allows me to properly escalate feedback prior to introducing the static correction.rnrnIf you have never used a static correction collar, the goal is to get your dog to obey the command before you use the static (shock) setting. You should give the command and use the beep if they do not immediately comply. If they still do not comply after the beep, use the vibrate setting; on this device the intensity of the vibrate setting is adjustable to levels between 1-100, like the static setting. For the static setting, always start low, and incrementally increase the intensity until either your dog stops the offending behavior, or you notice a spasm, whichever comes first.rnrnPlease think of your dog when you use a collar like this; they are extremely effective and humane training tools in the right hands. To not be aware and compassionate when using a tool like a static correction collar is just cruel. "Shock collars," muzzles and "choke chains" are examples of effective dog training tools that when used properly can be great tools, or just inhumane if used without care or forethought.
