Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Two of my dogs were tearing up my grape vines. My wife and step daughter said I couldnt give the dogs away so I started looking for a way to keep them out without putting up an ugly barrier. This system worked great for me. After setting up the fence I put the collars on and let the dogs loose. They got a nice little shock and now run as soon as they hear the warning beep. My wife got home and watched the DVD and to my amusement.. LOL... You're suppose to train the dogs without shocking them first! My wife started the training routine without the shocking contacts on the collars but we noticed (right away) that they didn't need the training because of their initial shock therapy. Now the dogs roam the yard with the non-conductive contacts on (they never get shocked with them on, they only here the warning beeps) and wont go past the parameter. Well the dogs got a crash course, my grape vines will live, the wife and kids are happy that the dogs don't get shocked, so I'm very happy. Maybe I should have watched the DVD and trained the dogs first but now that they got a small taste of what the collar can do... they stay away from the parameter and I saved weeks worth of training. If they ever get smart and figure out that the collar only beeps I'll put on the conductive contacts and they learn a lesson again. Just in case anyone is wondering... I tried the collar on around my forearm (with the conductive contacts) and the shock is not painful. It made my muscle jump almost like a small muscle spasm but it was not painful. I would feel safe putting this collar on my kids but my they refuse to test it out and my wife would kill me..
