I was wondering if anyone had ever used one?
I dislike the idea of shock collars.. but liked that these vibrate instead.. and liked the description I found on one site when I was just randomly looking around..
"The Pet Pager was designed to help pet owners silently call their dog from a distance. Excellent for deaf dogs. Just like the Sport Dog Trainer’s but uses vibration instead of electronic stimulation. It has a range of 100 Yards.
It can also be used to dissuade or interrupt negative behavior. It works similarly to a personal pager. The pet owner uses a hand held transmitter to send a signal to their pet. The pet wears a receiver collar that vibrates when it receives the signal."

It sounded like Cider.. But I know it's gimmicky, and requires training and is not a fail safe. Just wondering if anyone had had any experience good or bad with anything like it? And the fact it serves one function, to get the dog's attention and hopefully have it come, rather than people using shock collars as a training tool to teach almost anything.
Teaching normal stuff has never been a problem.. I think I'd die if we excercised anymore (but lord I sure will have a hot body by ski season..) lol. So things are much much better.. Just she does get distracted especially at a distance..
Thoughts?
