I purchased this product about a year ago for my Mini Schnauzer puppy. Needed to train her boundaries. It worked great, I only needed to use the sound option for her. She still responds to the “beep” even without wearing the collar. Fast forward a year, my son got a great dane puppy who is staying with me. I used this dame collar to train him basic commands and boundaries. Again this collar was amazing. He was house trained, learned boundaries, basic commands plus a few others within 3 weeks. Again the “beep” option is as sufficient. I did use the vibration option a few times with the great dane.* being a previous Dane owner and have purchased multiple training collars, this one has been the best, especially for the price. Battery life is long, its sturdy and works! I highly recommend! One last note: the collar is adjustable, I used this a 10 lbs mini schnauzer and a 2-5 month Dane.

Our family dog is a large, 88-pound Afghan-Golden Doodle mix known for stubbornness. Initially used a PetSpy training collar but dissatisfied as its tone and vibration are too weak, even at maximum levels. Switched to the Bousnic collar, which offers a very loud beeping tone with variations and a strong vibrate function with multiple levels. The tone feature effectively captures our Doodle's attention, instantly stopping unwanted behavior. The vibrate function works well in recalling him when he doesn't come on first recall command. Although I haven't used the shock feature on him, I tested it on myself at level 5 out of 99, and it would definitely grab his attention without causing harm. I wouldn't recommend using it at a higher level unless your dog is an extra large breed or has . Overall, the Bousnic collar significantly improves training effectiveness and unwanted behaviour.This unit is excellent for small, medium, large, and extra large dogs or possible aggressive behavior in dogs.I highly recommend this product.PROS:- 3 modes with separate levels for each mode- highly effective- light weight and not bulky- good response from animal- transmits effectively over a considerable rangeCONS:- Collar strap buckles may seem questionable, but functional

I have owned for one year now and I waited to review this product until I had put it through the ringer. My dog wears it every day during training and it has been in creeks, swamps, ponds,lakes and rains. Still works as good today as ever. Hardly ever needs charging. Sometimes after being in the lake for a while the beeper or bell sound does not go off for a few minutes until it dries off but the vibrate works well then and the shock never seems to go away. I bet i have not shocked the dog more than 4 times, since the dog knows well now what beeper and vibrate mean. I could not be happier with this purchase , the quality and reliability is fantastic. Love it! This is a serious training tool and produces expected results in weeks if you only use beeper and vibrate in early learning stage and never shock before 5 months or you could make a problem that does not exist. You don't spank a child before they understand so don't shock the pup to early and you will love this product. One beep and sit command my dog will not cross the street until I wave him across.

We have a French Bulldog that has a mind of his own. We live in a rural setting surrounded by large trees and bushes. Our dog has developed a love of following deer sent and various other distractions. When he is in that frame of mind he totally tunes you out and his objective is all that matters. He would disappear and then the search was on to try and locate him and get him back into the house. I purchased the training collar as a last resort in an effort to get him to listen and respond to my commands.When the device arrived the instructions were very simple to understand and follow. I adjusted all of the settings to be about mid range. I put the collar on him and we went outside for a potty. It did not take long for him to follow his normal routine and began to trot of away from the house. I whistled and called his name and no response as was normal. I whistled again and pressed the first alarm button on the hand held device. There was no visible response. I whistled again and pressed the second alarm for the vibration on the hand held device. Again there was no visible response. I whistled a third time and then pressed the third button on the hand held device for shock.This time his response was immediate. He jumped straight in the air as if he had shot, but still did not respond to my calling him. I whistled again and pressed the shock button again and immediately got the same jump in the air reaction. This time when I whistled he turned and looked at me and ran back to me immediately.Later that evening I took him out again for his evening potty break. He began to wonder off as was expected. I whistled and no response. I pressed the first button on the hand held device. I noticed a reaction from him, but he kept going. I whistled again and pressed the second button on the hand held device for vibration. This time he immediately stopped and ran back to the house.Even though we are early in the training process, I can see that this training collar is going to be effective and very beneficial.One note, this is not a device to hurt or punish the dog, but when used correctly, it is a very useful and effective way to train a non response dog.After owning this for a month, I want to add to this review.I really should have ordered this sooner. Since the initial time of using the actual shock feature, I have never had to shock again. I have been able to work with our French Bulldog ( who is very opinionated by the way) and now when I give him a little whistle, he comes running back to me.I started by whistling then pressing the first button on the hand held unit. He began to associate the whistle with something more aggressive was coming next. He began to just come back after the initial whistle.I still put the collar on every time he goes outside whether I am with him or not. Sometimes in the morning when it is dark, he goes outside alone to perform his morning constitutional.So far, if he does not return in an expected amount of time, I open the door and whistle and he runs to the doorThis purchase is probably one of the best things I have ever done to eliminate the frustration of a hard headed, over excited, extremely enthusiastic and very fun loving dog.Again I want to emphasize, this is not a tool to cause harm in any way to your dog, it is strictly for training purposes only.If used correctly, both you and your dog will be much happier.

I bought this for my 14 lb Shipoo few months back and could not be happier. I have since recommended this to many dog owners to buy but I see that most don't know how to effectively use it so I wanted to add a little direction here which others may find useful.1. Read the instructions manual in how to setup the system2. Once the system is setup, test it to ensure it is in working condition (ensure your dog is NOT wearing the collar when you are testing the functions)3. There are normally 3 buttons on the controller:a. Sound – this will just beep when pressed to get your dog distracted form what he/she was doing and pay attention to what you are asking.b. Buzz – this is a vibration produced based on the number you have set on your controller. This is the second level attention getter.c. Zap – this sends a very low voltage and harmless electric zap. This resembles the head of the pack biting the neck of a pack-mate to let them know who the boss is. This is to be used rarely when you want to make a permanent impact.4. Once you know the collar is in working order, place it on the dog’s neck,5. Starting with the lowest setting (sound), in a confined area at home (within a room), issue a command and activate the sound. For example: Come and then the sound. At this point I would even have a leash ready if the dog is young and not familiar with the command, and for the first couple of times I would reinforce the sound and command by pulling the leash, until the action is no longer required. If your dog is already familiar with the command, this becomes easier as you are trying to connect the sound to the command. Treats are normally also another way of getting his/her attention. You can even make the sound to be a treat command.6. If the dog remains unresponsive to the sound, after three sounds, use the buzz. Do this consistently. Meaning always three sounds (you can decide what number is right for you, but be consistent) before a buzz. At this point the dog will understand that the payoff is higher if the command is not followed.7. The Zap is used rarely if you feel the dog will be harmed if he does not respond to the command. The recall command is one of the most important commands we need to concentrate on. I have used Zap for example when the very first time my dog tried to eat goose poop. Since then, she will only sniff and walk on and never touch it as the price is too high. The Zap also needs to be set based on your dogs coat and size. Heavier the coat higher the degree as they may not even feel it if you set it on low.8. Make sure to set boundaries as soon as you can and when they are very young as this would last their lifetime. Each button on the controller can be used for as many commands as you want to set. For example, I use the sound for: wait, come back or the buzz for: don’t touch, don’t go there, avoid, leave it, drop it. The Zap is set to one command: Danger/No9. Once the dog is completely familiar with the collar, try him/her out in the whole house or in the yard before trying to use the collar in a public area where there are many distractions. Try walking with the dog off leash and ensuring the messages are properly received.10. Consistency is the key. Pay attention to the dog at all times and use the command regularly to ensure effectiveness. Not being consistent will mean you need to start the process over again and will prove to be time consuming, frustrating and ineffective.11. Do not press the controller keys few seconds after the dog has done something, it needs to be done exactly at the time of the action.12. Do not press the buttons to test and see if it is working, while the dog is wearing the collar. Always test the collar first thing before you put it on the dog.13. Finally and most importantly, if you are stressed, so will be the dog. When the owners are relaxed, the dog is also relaxed.14. If you yell at the dog, this comes across as a game, I bark, you yell, let’s go.Hope this helps.
