Pet Safe Training Systems

Looking For Feedback on PetSafe Products?

I've been looking into buying a PetSafe product for my older puppy - 11mos who came from a shelter and has NO training.

I'm considering buying the PetSafe Ultrasonic Remote -
This training system takes advantage of your pet’s sensitive hearing with a sound that is beyond the range of humans. When the system emits its ultrasonic sound, your furry friend will understand that you want him to stop whatever he is doing. The system also has a positive tone to reward good behaviors as well as a negative tone to counter undesirable ones.

Anyone have experience with this line of products and do they work? I want some safe - not a shock collar or a spike collar or anything like that!

I would honestly say that most remote trainers either ultrasonic or static do not work. Main reason? Human error. When a dog has a bark collar, everytime with out fail they get a correction. (just example, compare her issue to barking) But if there is a remote, she could bark and you could miss it, or not have the same time reaction as an automatic device. It takes about 2000 repetitions of a certain behavior for a dog t understand what you are asking of them. Most people tend to get ' trigger happy' with the remote items and confuse the pup. The other main problem with that type of item is that the dog associates the behavior to wearing the collar. Collar comes off behavior comes back. And in extreme cases the dog learns to have issues with the owner if item not used properly. They see that mom is the one making her hear that loud noise or give the static correction and you could create a whole new list of issues. The best advice I can give you is save the money from an electronic device and enroll her in a training class. They run about the same price and you will have better results with the class. And the class is all positive reinforcement, all though you are not 'shocking' her that loud noise is still negative reinforcement which is really not the best way to train a dog.
