Does any one run this collar for their pup?

Does it have the three range setting? Mine does, and it came on the lowest range.Thanks for the feed back guys. I have a 15 month old lab. He's 80 lbs of psychotic a-hole. I bought the 825x thinking it a be a bit better than my unreliable Amazon Prime $30 dollar special. I got the damn think cranked up to the max setting, it barely phases him. I think it might go back to sportsmans warehouse today.

It has 2. I have it on the higher one, all the way up.Does it have the three range setting? Mine does, and it came on the lowest range.
Ok good to know. I know its making contact with him becuase I am getting recognition that he feels it. It's just not enough to get his attention. Do you have the longer contacts in? I might try that, but I figured it was for long haired dogs.Make sure it's on tight enough as well. The contacts need to touch skin.
I've got the sportdog & a knuckleheaded lab. It works.
Then I would check to make sure you are getting good contact. On the highest setting there should be smoke coming out his ears. Use the longer prongs. You should only be able to slip about one finger inside the collar. Any more and it's too loose.It has 2. I have it on the higher one, all the way up.
10/4, I'll try the longer contacts. I'll back it off a bit first though.Then I would check to make sure you are getting good contact. On the highest setting there should be smoke coming out his ears. Use the longer prongs.

LMAO, 10/4, I'm going to get him out for a hike tonight and I'll report back.I'd switched to the longer contacts & double check the tightness. @JLS is right, he should be bucking like a yellow jacket whacked him on that setting.
Start at the lowest setting and work up. You should get a slight flinch when he's feeling it.10/4, I'll try the longer contacts. I'll back it off a bit first though.
