I know I will get some negative reactions about this but here goes. If it helps one YT owner who was going through what I was then I guess it was worth the admonishment.

Some of you know that I am handicapped and I love MY yorkie as much as you all do but I cannot handle the pulling and yanking on my arms from an unruly dog. And the barking causing migraines. Cooper was given to me to help with my depression and loneliness and he has done that 10 fold.

Cooper is a teapot at 10 pounds so that also makes a big difference for many of you but our Vet and trainer both recommended a Pet Safe Collar for Cooper. It has the Tone correction and the static correction with a remote control so it has to be triggered by the human.

I have used it for 2 days. Yesterday I brought it home and put it on him at supper time. He began barking terribly at the paperboy. I used the Tone correction on him twice and the static on him on the #1 setting only 1 time. (The static has settings from -10) I have only had to use the tone correction since. It is very high pitched and not easy for humans to hear. But must be annoying for the dogs. I took it off him at night and did not put it on him until we went out for our walk this noon time.

I will add right here that it does NOT go off on it's own. It has a remote control and must be used by the trainer or the owner to work. So it doesn't go off by the dog barking or making noise. This is a feature I like! ALSO it can be left on the dog during the day and turned off so it can NOT be triggered by someone unauthorised or by a child or something. I take it off at night. It is not heavy on his neck and his neck is 9 inches around and it adjusts that small.

I also adjusted the static charge to the #8 on the remote and held it in my hand it did not hurt. I will say it was startling. but I have a TENS unit for my back that delivers electric shocks to your back to block pain signals and it was no worse than that. Like I said. I used # 1 on cooper and he did turn his head around and look around as if to say "what the heck was that?" but I only had to do it ONE time.

The funny thing is that Cooper knows already that the REMOTE makes the noise... So All I have to do is hold up the TV remote and say AH...AH... and he will go lay down...

I love it and it has helped me so much in just 2 days.

I hope this helps someone.

I feel it is very humane and would recommend it especially if your yorkie is on the larger size. It says right on the box for dogs 8 pounds and over, But the Vet says they do make them for TOY dogs smaller.
