I've had these collars on two dogs for over five years now and agree wholeheartedly with those who think Innotek designed the batteries to fail as close to the warranty expiration as possible. With the exception of one battery which lasted about three years--every other one failed within eight to eighteen months.
My small dogs (16 and 20 pounds) have accepted their Innotek collars and the system enables them to freely roam our property. The device itself is small and streamlined but I had to retrofit smaller straps on the receivers because both dogs looked like they were caught in a trap. :)
(I just checked Innotek's website and now people are complaining about a new flimsy collar-strap design that unbuckles easily--go figure). I have several old straps lying around if anyone wants to pay shipping.
It's time to shop for another collar--the latest lasted one year and two weeks. Come on Innotek, with today's battery technology and your exorbitant pricing; these batteries should last at least five years!
