Yep, I know you're looking for something inexpensive, but this is a case where spending a little extra will go a long way. I purchased a SportDog collar about five years ago because my dad has used them for years with no problems whatsoever. They have a 2 year warranty on their products. Ours crapped out at about the 2 1/2 year mark and my wife just called them. They no longer made that model, so instead they sent us a brand new model for free. The model they sent us still works. My wife has also lost the remotes on our property, which they have also replaced free of charge for us as well. I know that my getting a lemon of a unit isn't a singing praise for the company, but this company's customer service is unparalleled. Buy once cry once.
