PatPet Dog Training Collar Review

PatPet dog training review
Written by Mark Braeden

When your dog is uncontrollably digging in your backyard, growling when you are just about to feed it, and eating almost all of the other dogs’ share, this mean it is time to train your dog now. Leaving your dog like that will surely harm you in the future. If you resort to harsh punishments, your pet might become traumatized or aggressive. Command and control your dog’s behaviour by using PatPet Dog Training Collar.

If you are into training dogs, then you know that there are a lot of dog smart collars being marketed nowadays. And one of the best training collars for a reasonable price (e.g. compare to Halo Collar) out there is the PatPet dog training collar. To fully understand and appreciate the capabilities and features of this dog collar, I will test and use it as a dog expert.

The PatPet remote dog training collar is perfect for dog owners who want to train their misbehaving and naughty dogs. You can do remote dog training with its wide range and friendly corrective measures when your dog misbehaves. However, this is not to be used to any aggressive dogs and isn’t the answer if you want to correct or eradicate any form of aggressive behavior on your dog.  

This dog training collar has a receiver and a transmitter that allows you to train your dog remotely. The receiver is the one that is on the dog’s collar while the transmitter is the remote-like item in your hands. You can choose the stimulation you want to deliver to your dog by pressing a button on the remote and then it will be delivered by the receiver on the collar. The receiver has also contact points that will make your dog feel the chosen stimulation. When you buy this training collar, the package includes a user manual, a test light, a wrist strap, a USB charging cable, a charging adapter, 4 contact points, an adjustable collar, a remote transmitter, and a receiver.

The PatPet Dog Training Collar Effect

At 450 yard range, the PatPet Dog Training Collar with remote can leave a short-term stimulation effect on your dog. The receiver is lightweight (0.12 lb.) and can be comfortable for dogs. You can choose one of these modes: Stimulation, Vibration and Tone. The modes are in colored buttons to avoid confusion or clicking the wrong button. The Stimulation and Vibration can be adjusted gradually up to the 16th level (Levels 1-16) depending on your dog’s reaction.  The Tone mode is gently customized in accordance to the dog hearing system. Proven humane and safe, the electric dog collar will stop the mode for 5 seconds after 10 seconds of continuous shock or vibration.

The PatPet Dog Training Collar is 100% Waterproof and Dustproof

When rain falls while on training, no need to run and hide. The dog shock collar with remote is not water-resistant but actually, waterproof as one verified customer review said in a well-known online buy and sell the platform. Your dog can swim with it even on the beach since the dog shock collar is dustproof. At night, the LCD screen is still easier to view because of the blue backlight.

The TPU collar belt is adjustable for dogs weighing 15lbs. to 100 lbs. For additional info, you can try it on your cute small pet but the dog must be 6 months old and up to be trained by this electric training collar. The contact points are made of stainless steel so it can last longer and no rust can harm your dog. If no shock is needed for your dog, just cover the contact points with insulating covers. What makes PatPet Dog Training Collar special is you can train 2 dogs in one remote control. The package includes a receiver, remote control, adjustable collar, 2 short contact points, 2 long contact points, USB cable, adapter, wrist strap, test light, 2 insulating covers for contact points, and user manual. It’s also reasonably priced (check the price).

Great Customer Support

Both the remote and the electric dog collar can be charged in one charger at the same time. In case you have an unpleasant experience in using the dog training shock collar, you can call the support since Patpet has a 90-day money back guarantee. When you get PatPet Dog Training Collar, you will also get a 2-year warranty. Best of all, you will get a lifetime support guarantee. There is really no risk since this is one of the most effective dog training collars without torturing your pet. This is a great deal for dog trainers and dog training beginners. Good training will make your dog lovable and amazing.

Conclusion

With all that this dog training collar has to offer, I believe that it is worth every penny that you’ll spend on it. I love that it is waterproof which means I don’t have to worry if my dog will run berserk into a body of water. The wide range of stimulation is also very cool and useful. I just don’t like that you can only train up to 2 dogs at the same time. This can be a downside for a home that has multiple dogs that are needed to be trained. It’s also reasonably priced and has over 3000 5-star reviews from other dog owners (read here).

  • So much junk. Purchased on eBay a short time ago after reading this review. Iv gone through 2 collars and the shock feature doesn’t work on ether. Amazon won’t take the return and the manufacturer is uncooperative at best. Got a Chewy, works perfectly!! Now trying to get my money back on this junk. Don’t buy!
