"Better together" batteries are not the right ones Aug 14, 2008
The trainer itself is working fine, but wanted to alert folks, and Amazon.com that the "Better together" batteries are NOT the right ones. The small dog unit shipped to me uses 2 3V CR2032s, but I was sent 2 pre-packaged 6V RFA-67s (PetSafe's part number) which are obviously for some other unit.
 My bad! Too big for my dog......... Aug 13, 2008
I ordered this product for use with training my Chihuahua. It was too large and bulky for such a small dog (12#). Appeared to be well made, IMHO would be OK for a dog above 15# or so, minimum. Returned for an Innotek "Lap Dog Trainer". The Innotek was more money and had considerably less features. It fit just fine,however. I used the optional "close" (REAL small dog) contacts. I would rather have used this (Petsafe) trainer if the receiver weren't so large.
great trainer Jul 30, 2008
Works wonderful. Purchased as per our trainers advice and we have used for 3 weeks now. You do need to turn off after each use or it burns thru batteries after a while and they cost about $7.
Worked like a charm Jul 28, 2008
I bought this to help train my 9 month old, 7 lb Cockapoo on a few issues that she was having some difficulties with and it has worked WONDERS! I've only had to actually use the "shock" setting a couple of times. Before I used that setting, I always gave her two warning beeps and said "NO" first. Now, all it takes is the warning beep or a firm, stern "NO" to make her behave. Thanks to this device, she no longer jumps on our neighbors when they come to visit, she no longer digs in the hamper and plays "chase" with our dirty clothes (I was running out of socks that didn't have holes, thanks to that "game") and she also keeps away from the doors when people are coming and going without running outside and playing keep-away (which was a big issue for me, since I live near a major highway). She now comes when I call her. The different settings are a godsend as well. My pooch never needs a setting higher than 2 (on a scale of 1-10) to get the point across. One thing I would recommend for ALL owners who buy this---USE IT ON YOURSELF FIRST! I know that sounds crazy, but I think that if you know personally how each setting feels (I myself couldn't go past 7) you won't get overzealous with turning that dial and you'll only put it on a setting that you, yourself are comfortable with. I highly recommend this for anyone who is having issues with training their dog. It definitely makes them start paying attention.

Dog Remote Trainer Jul 26, 2008
Worked very well! Bought an extra set of batteries and haven't had to use them yet. Just put in on while she is outside to teach her the boundaries of the property and come when called. Made training very easy!
