Are these collars waterproof or weather proof?

I doubt it - the blue tube and collar would be fine if wet but, the junction of the blue tube and the battery pack (an inch long x 1/4 inch thick box that screws down tightly) would likely not be water proof with submersion such as night time fetching in the water. You'd have to call the manufacturer to be sure one way or the other.

I wouldn't say that they are waterproof...My dog is a bush dog and I had once left the collar on her on a rainy day, this happened more by accident, she ran through alot of wet bush and it did survive, but I had the red collar and it did dye the hair around her neck pink...not easy to get off. I do not recommend it for real rainy days...wet/damp bush it should survive and in snow it seems to work fine, but sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't....It's a good, well priced collar that is really only made for night walks ...it keeps you and your dog safe, so that is what I truely recommend it for.

Yes, they are "so far" weather proof. The pigtails are even silicon-ed from the factory.

They are totally waterproof, and I have used them both ways. Hope this helps.

They definitely are weather proof. They have been outside under a deck for over a year (in Ohio weather conditions) with no issues to date.

So far mine have been waterproof. I've worn them through thick mud and puddles with no problem. They've were very useful at the dog park this past Spring.

I have four collars which I have used for many years. I have never experienced a problem with any of them.

Yes, it is water resistant, but I suggest that not to put it into water and use it in the rainy day. Not good to your dog and this collar.

No. Although I have kept mine on my dog when she was outside in light rain, I try not to. One of our first 2 collars was damaged by a fairly small amount of liquid. (The second one broke when I pulled on it, instead of her collar... oops!)

Sorry, couldn't tell you. I have them inside my house. They don't appear to be weather resistant.

I would not let the the collars be submerged in water, say swimming in a pool or taking a bath. If the dog is out in the rain, it is not a problem.

They are not waterproof. Moisture gets in and the plastic gets cloudy and rust will develop around the magnets.

There are available connectors with a rubber boot over the top of the collar to make them "water proof" (water getting in through the collar end). For the exposed metal, I think it is fine, but if you're worried about weather exposure, just use vinyl electrical tape to wrap the collar end or the entire connector -- but it has to be done properly or water could make it in and get trapped (if unwrapped, any water would otherwise dry up).

Have used these collars on my two setters for a couple of seasons. Hunting in the north of Sweden during fall and winter often in both wet and cold conditions. No issues so far. The receiver seems quite durable and well built

The collar is not water proof and will stay wet until it dries, Check with your doctor, I suggest you buy two and switch after the shower.

Absolutely! My dogs are in the water a lot, splashing and shallow immersion of the collars, no problems. Good product.

No problem with that but you should know that when they get WET they quit working and Amazon wouldn't stand behind that product. So if you have only had the collar for a short while return it and get a better product.
