The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other dog and cat food, health, gear and grooming we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.

Overview

This HapTop collar gives you a wide spread of adjustment: 8 beep levels, 16 vibration levels and 99 shock levels, plus a dedicated no-shock mode for owners who want to train with beep and vibration alone. It fits dogs from 10 to 120 pounds, with a collar strap that adjusts to a 7.8 to 24.4 inch neck, and carries an IPX8 waterproof rating, a step above the IPX7 rating common on cheaper collars.

The package is well stocked for a single unit, including a pre-assembled collar with 2 short metal prongs and covers, 2 additional long metal prongs and covers for thicker coats, a charging cable, a printed manual, a remote wrist strap and a test light tool to confirm the collar is making contact before you start training. It ranks #6 in Electronic Training Collars and #1,664 overall in Pet Supplies on Amazon, and the collar and remote reach up to 4,500 feet.

At $39.99, it is one of the more affordable options here despite the deep review history. It holds a 4.8 star average across 219 reviews, by far the most reviews in this group, though Amazon lists 0 units bought in the past month, so recent sales momentum has cooled even as the long term rating stays strong.
