It took months with Moose.

And then months longer to establish the same thing outdoors.

The hardest part for me is keeping up with it outdoors. He has a VERY STRONG drive outdoors for smelling out and following/hunting other animals and birds, and depending on his mood he listens AWESOME and other times he disappears for a while... This is where the training collar for hunting dogs come into play, it's helped me develop him more outdoors, and he will listen and he knows go get`m, and right and left, and he points, etc. No way I could have done any of that w/out a remote trainer in the time that I did. Just wearing the collar is really all that's needed after the initial shock which btw is on low I've tested it on myself they do not need it on high or even medium (different discussion elsewhere).

Anyway, keep it up!!

Setting 2, and have used it less than 5 times and we've owned it 6 months or more now I believe.

Moose knows to go outside he needs his collar and does not mind putting it on. He knows with it on we are in full control outside.. this wears off in about 1-2 months and he may need a lil jolt to be reminded who's in charge.

I've run it up to setting 4 on myself and unless I have it tight against a nerve it doesn't cause me to flinch, if I have it tight on my arm nerve I flinch and drop the control out of my hand, hehe, def. not painful though.

Be sure you only leave the collar on for a short period they are not meant to be worn all the time, and eventually they will know w/out collar they need to listen to you outside.

We just had to re-order a control because we lost ours about 2 months ago and Moose is starting to run off on his own now.

Combine this collar trainer + treats and keep up on it and he will listen to you all the time! Be sure to follow instructions it really works well.

If you don't let your dog run free then this may not even be a concern for you...
