She is two and half. Anyone else I would say get something better. With the large dog size, there's enough collar material for a very large dog, or a horse. Just make sure you order extra batteries, and so you know, watch the battery selection that comes up when ordering because they are not necessarily the right batteries, I order the wrong ones, and I ordered them with the collar, so be sure to pay attention, otherwise, the best $100.00 you will ever spend for your dog! The gentle leader collar was actually quite nice for training, though it had its issues when just walking. My dog is 70+ pounds and a plastic fastener just doesn't cut it.
So hopefully it will work better in the spring! Try 10 feet!
I can signal my dog from upstairs, from across the yard, or from 7 feet away, but sometimes, inexplicably, the remote does not talk to the collar in the 3-6 range.
I was very hesitant to use a shock collar on my dog so I tried everything else I could think of to control his jumping, barking and general disobedience. Now, we rarely use the shock function. Big surprise there. We have a large German shepherd who was out of control with my wife, but obedient to me. We never figured it out, but several intensity levels did not work.
So this collar made it easier as I feared her provoking would trigger another dog at some point, so when the "no no's" happened a "zap" would snap her out of it. He doesn't jump on the glass doors any longer he just goes to the door and stands there when he wants to get in or out of the house. It lacks any power even at the highest setting. I haven't tried her without a leash, and probably won't, but I'm confident that I could control her even without.
This is enough to get his attention, remind him to play nice, and relax a bit. The dog trainer collar did not work, the sound alarm worked but the shock option did not.
Only had to use the shock feature twice and the dog now responds to the tone only. There seem to be dead spots in the 3-6 foot range, which do not make sense to me. After this, i purchased another one and have since had no issues.
Also, it's very important that the collar is placed around the neck with access to the internal antenna from the transmitter. Got this collar for training my 100lb rottie. We're also working on barking and staying back and sitting when people come to the door. I found out that they sell this product at Petco but for almost double the price that you can find on Amazon but you can get extra batteries and longer prongs there.
