I recently acquired the Esky Backlight 330YD Remote Dog Training Collar by Esky. It works well, just like advertised, and is selling for $43.99 on amazon. It box includes one remote, two collars that are blue and red, two two collar receivers a usb charging cable, a wall charger, a electricity test bulb, four metal probes, a warranty card, and a manual. The two receivers are waterproof, but the remote is not. When I first recieved it, it was semi charged, so I could instantly assemble it and pt it on my dog. When I say assemble, it's just screwing on the probes (short for little to no hair dogs, and long for dogs with thicker hair). Then you have to attach the collar onto the receiver. When putting it onto your dog, just tighten or loosen the straps, and you're done. The collar has four modes to train your dog, and the remote can easily switch from collar one to collar two. Mode one is a light, which isn't really bright and is kind of useless. Mode two plays a sound, which is semi loud, which I will address later. Mode three is a vibration, and mode four is a electric shock. With the electric shock, and vibration, you can change how intense the mode is ranging from little harm at 1 to a lot of shock/vibration at 100. I would recommend that you don't use the electric shock though because it hurts a lot. I tested mode one on myself, and I will tell you that it hurts A LOT I think that it's a little inhumane to use it on a dog. I have a german shepherd puppy by the way. Another issue is the collar, there isn't really anyway to attach it to the receiver really well, and it can fall off really easily. I put it on my dog, and we took her to the dog park to play. I then let her play, and after a few minutes of playing, she came to me for water, and as I poured the water into her bowl, I noticed that the receiver was gone. I used the remote, and tried to play the sound so I could find it, but nothing played, and the receiver had a full charge as well. Sadly, I gave up and went home. I then put the other receiver on her, and duck taped it to the collar. So all was okay until she started barking at someone outside. I used this as a chance to test the vibration on her. I had it set to one, and pressed the button. To my surprise, she yelped, looked at me sadly, and retreated to her kennel. As a dog owner, this made me feel really bad. I then removed the collar from her, and put it back in the box. Overall, the shock mode and vibration mode is not that good, and the receiver falls off easily. Over all, this product is not worth it's $44 list price, and I would definitely never use it again. Oh, and I would like to tell you that the place to charge the receiver is extremely hard to get to, and if you do tape it to the collar, be sure to attach it to put it on the top, so it's not covering the charge hole. And, the there is only wall charger that is needed to charge the two receivers, and the remote, so that's kind of annoying. Again this is my own opinion, and I received this product for free for my fair and unbiased review. Fell free to try it out, and this is my own opinion. (pictures below)
