Plus you have to be diligent with keeping the collar clean or at least had to with ours (long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away)

So we have a 50 foot cherry tree next to the house. The black bears LOVE cherries. Every mid-June the bears come to feast. My one beagle was absolutely possessed about the bears. He would wait 11 months for the bears to come back. Every day he'd sit by the door facing the cherry tree and wait. There was no more strong-willed dog for prey than him.
When the bears came, I'd let him out and he'd chase the bears to the fence line and then stop. It got to the point the bears figured out he'd only chase that far and the bears would sit on the perimeter with the pup on the inside barking at each other.
