Oh, yeah, this one has a charger, but when the old one sat unused for a time (I don't know, a year?), it had discharged and wouldn't recharge. Digging into the instructions, I realized that I was supposed to recharge it on a regular basis or it wouldn't take a charge anymore. I don't see those instructions on this new collar, and I will TRY to remember to charge it up periodically, but if I don't need to use it, I'll probably forget. Outta sight, outta mind, you know. Maybe they've improved the longevity of these things by now.
I hope I only have to zap Maggie once or twice. I've been peeking out the windows all morning, waiting to see if she was going to go play with a rooster, but so far she's been a perfect angel. Now she's curled up by the back door with Goose, the feral kitten, snuggled up in the "C" of her belly. They're adorable.
This transmitter has good range, though. I saw her earlier out in the horse corral, near the trough, which is maybe 300 feet from the house, and I hit the tone once. Her head popped up and she looked all around, LOL! So I know I can zap her from a goodly distance if I need to. She's probably still wondering what went beep-beep at her!
