E collar

This is a great e collar and app. Very user friendly. My dog has been responding well it.

They suck

Forever having connectivity / pairing issues - EVERY time

Speaker on the collar went out within a month

Not overly impressed

I bought this setup with the compass handheld last winter. I spent quite a while with support dealing with the handheld unit that was constantly recalibrating and even with a replacement I’ve found the handheld screen is nearly useless as it’s never accurate as to the direction of north or where the dog is.

As for this app, it’s just ok. It works better than the handheld at accurately telling me where the dog is but I don’t want to have to take my phone out to look every time. That was the point of the more expensive compass handheld.

Features like the truck marker are more annoying than helpful and the system overall is not intuitive. I should be able to just long press on a marker and delete it. Trucks get moved a lot and that pin shouldn’t be as persistent as it is or obtuse to delete at the very least.

I bought this over the garmin due to the integration in the Apple ecosystem and hoping it would work well with my Apple Watch. At the end of the day I’m probably going to sell it all at a loss and just buy the garmin system.

Buffer too big

The 5m minimum buffer renders this tool almost useless. 5m from the road is inside my house so my dog cannot go in the front yard.
