Product Review

This item is excellent, it does exactly what it claims to do. We had a young dog who had excellent recall, unless there were any distractions! Wildlife were a particular problem, if she got a sniff of a deer or a rabbit she was off and no amount of shouting worked. We wanted a dog that we could walk off the lead and tried various training approaches but never had the confidence that they were foolproof. The citronella collar was recommended by a work colleague and although I was a little sceptical decided it was worth a try. It certainly was! We initially used it for basic recall with no distractions and it had immediate results. We very seldom now have to use more than the beep option. I was out one night and 2 deer appeared and I used the citronella and it stopped her in her tracks which was excellent. Out in the woods last week a horse and rider approached us and I recalled her without using the collar, but it is reassuring to know it is there if you need it. The rider actually commented that it was nice to see a dog with such good recallI would recommend that if you purchase the collar you also make sure you have spare batteries, our batteries failed not long after we had the collar and we had no replacement batteries, also check that the collar is working each time before you go out.
