My dog wore it this weekend when we were at the lake, and she swam more than she had her feet on dry land with no problems. If you're worried that it will accidentally go off, mine didn't, but it did work when I pressed the button. And it works now, too. PetIDtag.com Keep ID on your pet! Profits go to rescues in NC

So all of the major manufacturers make sure that the collars (the part the dog wears) are all waterproof. They're OK for rain or even submersion. Some people say to lower the stim level a touch due to the increased conductivity of the dogs' skin when wet. Lou Castle has been kicked off this board.
