Looking for one for my sons lab. Ive had some stubborn ones but he takes the cake. any suggestions on the best brand to get? For strictly obedience training, i ve tried all the easier methods ive used in year spast. But not all dogs are the same.

All I have ever used is tritronics/garmin. You may try collar clinic and see what deals / refurbs they have. https://www.collarclinic.com

thnaks bud. Gonna look at them later!

I use a pet safe 1000. He is a different dog when the collar is on. It beeps or shocks. Use shock sparingly and only when needed to reinforce a command. Also, he HATES a pinch (not choke) collar. I can put it on and kids can lead him around. He will not put any resistance on the collar and it’s perfect for training on a leash. Mine is batchit crazy but we are making progress.

Be sure to get one that's water proof. We have used Sport Dog and had good luck with them.

I have a Garmin that works well.

I have used a Sport Dog Wetlandhunter and never had a problem with it

I have a sport dog 425. I like it only thing is the remote is smaller. Which is good in ways. I think the remote is bigger on the next size collar. Look on gundogsupply.com. They have a lot of video reviews and good prices from what I can tell.

I have a Garmin Delta that works really well. It has vibrate, which usually does the trick b/c most of the time it's about getting their attention.

I used to use a I believe I used to use this one. It was really easy to use. You could either beep or shock.

Tritronics 9 years and still works great. Got to order a new collar for my new puppy soon

I'm on my second Sports Dog Wetland Hunter. I got about 5 years out of the first one. My Lab will be 7 years old in August and I rarely have to use it anymore

I went with the sd-105 sport dog trainer from gundogsupply. Put it on him and gave him a "buzz". he looked at me like i was lsap azz stupid. So he proceeds to do whathe wanted to, so i elevated the power. After about 30- 45 minutes of calling,trying to teach him about the whole collar deal, i ( actually him) decided this one isnt going to work. I need something with a little more "juice" apparently.....

What are you trying to get him to do or not do?

stay, heel lay, exc.. ive trained several dogs ( i know all are different). but he is just plain stubborn. if he doesnt want to do it he doesnt.

Ive tried with and without treats every since he was a puppy. I normally spend 20 minutes a day doing the basic stuff. Either his elevator is stuck on the 3rd floor or hes just a hard head. Or im terrible at training.lol

Have you tried a pinch collar and check cord? How old? Stubborn dogs can dang sure try your patience. I have a 5 month yellow female that has finally saw the light, I hope lol.

he is 9 months old and he does great on a leash .. Off of the leash and something peaks his interest? he gone!

Ive got a sportdog I use and like it pretty good. It has more than enough juice for my dog... now I just give him a tone and he stops what hes doing because he knows whats coming next

Maybe i need to shave his nuggets and see how he responds.. I kid i kid... ( kinda)
