So happy with this purchase! In fact buying another one to have another remote and back up collars.We trained our dogs to come to us with the beep, the vibrate we used to stop the dogs from things such as digging. The shock only as necessary aa last resort. Only have had to do a few time because they learned fast! Remote is easy to use and battery life is long.My friend was amazed how well my dogs are doing she bought one too!
