No experience with the Petsafe obedience collars but I do have one of their upper end bark collars that works great and seems to be well made. It sounds like Bodhi has already had collar training so the large one would probably work for you. I would question if it's waterproof and how far the range is but for a duck dog the range probably isn't an issue. The price is right for sure.

BTW - I have Dogtra collars for my dogs and they work great - great customer service when I had to get the controller repaired too :applause:

The price is the big reason I was interested, and with Bodhi's quick response I didn't know if I needed the higher end Brands. I will save and get one before season starts if that is the way I should go.

 

Hey, for $50 you might want to try it out. If it works for you, then you're money ahead - if not, you could probably always get something back out of it. What does that model go for in the stores?

Agree with CL.... I have absolutely no complaints with my dogtra collars..... have been using them for many years now.

I would be very wary of a few things. Like CL mentioned, waterproof and range, but also many of the lower end e-collars "say" they have adjustable stimulation but actually don't. IMO you want to be able to give your dog the lowest amount of stimulation necessary to correct the behavior.... NO MORE. Some of the cheaper e-collars go from "slight stimulation" to "fry-mode" in just one level.... this has the potential to create much bigger training problems. assout:

I’ve had poor luck with PetSafe products. The e-bark collar I had a year ago was worthless, complete junk. I think there is better stuff out there for not that much more money.

 

i have a tritronics but i have heard some good things about dogtra but i love my g3

 

Thanks Guys, I'll save a Couple Hundred More $$ :flowered:, and get a good one, unless someone wants to sell me a good one for less than $250 in a couple months. Again :flowered:.
