We bought a pet safe training collar that does not have a shock feature..only sound or vibrate features. This was a good choice for our small dog prone to seizures. And, it is unbelievable about brief the battery holds a charge. Pet Safe reps were totally difficult with discussing this issue and there is no information to warn about this apparent shortcoming. The earlier comment is exactly right....days of charge...not the 1-3 months told to us by the distributor. The first battery that came with the unit only lasted through one outing when we walk our dog off leash and use the vibrate feature when he's about to go on prey drive. The second battery, also, only lasted through one outing and the beginning of a second outing...or for a total of about twenty button pushings. Training was effective; the only positive in this rip off. Pet safe wants us to pay 18dollars and send the collar back...but more than likely this would be waste of 25 dollars. A replaced collar is not going to make a difference. As for ordering more batteries from petsafe...i don't think so. Either get them cheaper someplace else or look for a lithium battery AND take the battery out when not in use. If anyone can indicate if this makes a big difference, please post. Pet safe would not offer such information.
