Aggregate customer ratings are mixed, with more ratings in the four- and five-star categories than the lower categories, but a substantial minority are one- or two-star. Without written feedback, the reasons are unknown. For buyers considering the stated rechargeable, waterproof design and adjustable correction, the ratings alone cannot establish how reliably those features work or whether the collar suits an individual dog.
