Good up to 80 pounds, with multiple settings. Everything from sound only all the way to full stun.

I've never used one before.

It seems pretty simple. Bend the knees, step toward the pitcher, and follow all the way through with the bat and you don't get zapped.

Sometimes, parenting is easy.

I read the title and started LMAO......We bought one years ago for a mutt that would bark at the wind. The wife had the collar in her hand, I hit the button..(by accident of course) the ensuing scream, jump, shutter, cussing, and all around spasms had me laughing for days.

She wouldn't let me put it on the dog after that.

Thanks for the laugh 8track

My SIL (the army ranger ) had 2 labs .....both wore shock collars !

Jake would eat the collar off of his brother doggie & then the other dog ( can't remember his name ! ) would chew Jakes off !

After 2 collars my SIL gave up !!

Our boxer wears one when he's going to be outside for extended periods of time. He's been buzzed a few times (invisible fence) and has been pretty good about not leaving the yard, even when the collar is off.

I would love to get one that has a remote (my Sis has one for her rottie), because he also tends to bark when there is no reason to bark, then he gets the beagle barking!

LOL, that I do!

My brother in law asked me to get the collar for him and pressed the button on the remote and shocked the living **** out of me a few years ago. It was funny, after I got done yelling at him because of how much it hurt!!!

I think they must not work - hell you yelled at him after the shocking - I thought the shocking was supposed to _stop_ the barking

Maybe if I were a dog, it would have stopped me. But alas! I am not a dog.

Shock collars for dogs is wrong.

I'm talking about kids who need to learn baseball fundamentals.

He asked for "anything" other than a shock collar. After a few moments, I agreed to a different plan. Any time he's the the batter's box, and his knees aren't bent, I'm going to yell JUSTIN BEIBER!!

The look on his face tells me he'd prefer the collar.

Pick up a pretty first communion dress in his size. Then hang it on the fence when he's at bat. Yell,"Address the ball or wear the dress, Nancy!"

I think he'd prefer the collar.

Why are shock collars for dogs wrong? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I'm just wondering.

If you are preventing them from running out in the road and getting hit, possibly killed, I think it's better to give them a little shock then for them to be run over. Like I mentioned in my earlier response, our boxer learned after a few shocks and us training him where the "line" was, now we rarely have to put it on him.

The whole "Shocking children is fine, but shocking dogs is bad" is...... a little different perspective... then the norm. So it loosely translates as "funny". But it is less funny (maybe it never was) when you have to explain it like this.

I may have to start using that nifty Sarcasm icon. But that is a little bit like adding a laugh track. The funnier shows don't have them. The Office (when it was good) Modern Family etc.)

I let my wife pick out her own shock collar..

That way when she won't heel and I have to zap her she feels better about it..

This idea is GENIUS!!!

And yes, I just bought a gray one for my son (he's 5) and an orange one for my daughter (she turns 3 in a few weeks -- I can't WAIT to see her face when she opens THAT present!). A little more "spendy" than I wanted to do, but... Shipping was free.

Of course, her pansy-ass pre-school frowns on "jewelry" so I'm going to have to call it an "allergy collar."
