eXuby - Tiny Shock Collar for Small Dogs 5-15lbs - Smallest Collar on The Market - Sound, Vibration, & Shock - 9 Intensity Levels - Pocket-Size Remote - Long Battery Life - Water-Resistant - White

Nice size for Twinkie, my 8lb Chihuahua. Tone is nice and loud for her to hear (she is half deaf @17 years old). She doesn't mind the weight of it and still runs with it on.

Easy to use. My dog is responding to the vibration feature. We are using it to control his barking. He is a 4 year old, 13 pound, Havanese.

Loved, until battery went bad... I ordered on 8/4/24 and as of today (3/21/25) the battery wont hold a charge....So I am going to try and tear it apart and find the battery and order replacement (looks like 4 tiny screws hold the back on).BUT - to be honest it worked PERFECTLY when I first used it. So well, that I trained my dogs to not run away when we went outside and to not bark at every tiny noise; therefore I only used for about a month, and then stuck in a drawer until I've recently needed again b/c the barking has started back.

Great range. I tried different settings on our 5 pound toy Chihuahua toy pincer mix. Beep caught her attention, but after 3 or 4 times she ignored it. Vibration actually work for the first few hours. But once she got used to the vibration, it took the static shock to get her attention on level 1.The first time on level 1 the static shock startled her and she jumped up letting out a scared high pitch yelp, looked confused, and stopped doing what she wasn't supposed to do. After that, no yelp, just a flinch or jumping back, no confusion, and stopped what she should not be doing. We take it off of her when she is sleeping in her kennel.The next morning, the first time we had to use it, it was if she forgot all about it. She mindlessly did exactly what we are training her not to do, She let out a quiet yelp when she felt the zap and stopped what she was not supposed to do. Later in the morning, she defiantly persisted in doing what she was not supposed to do even after she got zapped. We just give the button just a quick click and do not hold the button down. However, when she was defiant after being zapped, we held the button down until she stopped. She did not yelp, she just ran out of the room. She has not been defiant since then.She has been pushing the boundaries trying to figure out the zap, but now, she is getting to the point where she is avoiding the bad behavior and associating it with the zap.We have always had dogs and never had to use a training collar. We adopted this little dog a month ago and she had no training and was not house broken. Had our other dogs not made her part of the pack, we may have given up and returned her. She has been trainable with praise in learning new things, but breaking her bad habits was proving to be impossible. As sweet as she is, she has some disgusting bad habits that thankfully we are finally seeing some real progress using this training collar in just the first few days.The unexpected plus with this collar is the green led light. This little dog is black with no tail. When we let her out in the fenced in back yard at night, she disappears in the shadows. The green light lets us see where she is.I've seen critical reviews of this collar; however, if you carefully follow the instructions assembling the collar, carefully fit the collar to your dog's neck so it has proper contact without being too tight, and experiment with the settings (starting with beeps, and escalating levels of vibration, and then escalating to static shock if necessary), this is a safe, humane way to train the most stubborn of dogs.I see comments where people talk about their dog screaming in pain and doing flips on the lowest static shock setting. I tried it on myself -- the low setting is like the low setting on a tens unit. It is startling -- not painful. Think how you would react if someone gave you a new necklace, and then you received an unexpected low voltage oscillating shock. You might jump out of your seat and scream. I think that working to escalating levels until we found what was effective consistently in getting her attention was effective in training her and not traumatic.

So I had only just received this product and begun introducing it to my cats. They are full grown, 10+ pounds each, and my goal was to correct a recent behavior where they have been using the couch to scratch. In terms of introducing, I mean placing the collar on them one at a time for them to wear for a period just to get used to its presence. Obviously they were not fans. Unfortunately, the collar itself is just a plastic type band with equidistant holes for placement of the actual unit. As I was taking it off one of my cats after his introductory wear period, he was anxious and "jerked" as I was unfastening the collar. This resulted in the collar actually TIGHTENING to the point it was choking him (really choking). Because of the hole placement on the collar, the latch part ended up so close to the unit that there was no room to undo the collar. I was in full panic mode at this point as my buddy was absolutely choking. I had no room to get that collar to loosen and unfasten. This all happened so quick but there was nothing I could do to get that collar off. I had zero alternative but to pick him up and rush to get a pair of scissors to cut the collar off. I'm not one to write poor reviews - truth is, I have no idea how well or not the unit itself works because all I got to do was introduce it to my two buddies in terms of just wearing it; this being the first time they've had a collar (indoor cats). I know the sound and vibration worked for sure, as I tested those functions before I even put it on the collar itself. Can't say how much of a deterrent it would be, as the opportunity did not present during the brief windows I had it on each. As for shock - no clue - hoped it would never get there anyway. Regardless, and perhaps I didn't do a great job of explaining above - but the collar should have a designated space where the unit attaches, and there should not be holes immediately adjacent to that position. But because it is just one continuous strap of holes, the unit itself will always be immediately positioned closely to the next holes. And if something happens like it did to me and my bud, it's going to be choking them and absent cutting it off, there was absolutely NO way of getting that undone. Bad luck? Perhaps. But I wouldn't take the chance again. Collar design needs fixed. I would not recommend this unless that gets fixed. It was pretty upsetting for both me and my cat for sure. He was legit choking. Not cool.
