The vibration is just that vibration the stimulation is a shock and even that's not very bad

One of the main reasons I went with this collar was because of the vibrate. It is nothing too dramatic and I have found that it gets my dogs attention very well (sometimes been better than the shock!)

The tap is noticeable but not uncomfortable. I often check the collar against my own hand without any discomfort. My young, very high energy GSD has never needed more than the vibrating tap. When he is out of hearing range or just really excited in the pasture, it gets his attention without upsetting him.

In my opinion, yes. Ask a trainer or behaviorist for help with barking or maybe get a citronella spray collar

I train my dog to heal when I press the vibrating function. I call his name as I press it, and he comes right back to me. I only use the shock feature if he dosent respond to the vibrations (when he sees a squirrel and starts to bolt into the street). And he will always respond to the shock. Now that I have had it for a while I don't even have to turn it on. Once I put the collar on my dog he is on his best behavior.

not an issue but some dogs can be a little intimidated by the sound and moving water; give them time and I suspect they'll come around; good luck

It makes a high pitched sound or just a vibrate... It didn't work well for my lil dog.

I have 2 small dogs one is a maltipoo and the other a snoodle I usually use the vibrate sound on them, I have only had to use the the light zap once and they know when I hit the vibrate what comes next will be the zap it does get their attention. I need to be more consistence with it but this really does help I would really recommend this to train your pet my problem is their barking

Sounds like a defective collar or transmitter. It should have 4 modes - shock, vibrate, beep and light - each doing that mode only. If it vibrates in both vibrate mode and beep mode, it must be defective.

Not sure since I can not hear. I got a co2 BB pistol and kept by my chair. A lot louder and I know it went off. Sure breaks their attention and stops the barking and they learned I was unhappy when that noise sounded. I think if you used it manually I might work better. I think Associating the noise and you being unhappy with the barking is what will give a permanent fix. If my dogs were big enough I would get a shock collar. My dogs 5 lbs and can not find a shock collar that small

hold it on your hand while turning it on and move it a bit. It feels like a static shock. I'm sure you've felt that before. Your dog will certainly NOT like it, but that's the point and it's not harmful.

This is not a bark collar - you must use the remote to correct the behavior every time - the good news is after a mild shock, vibrate after is a good warning that most dogs take it as such

I suppose you could use it for a dog's barking. I wanted it for when my dog is off leash and wanders too far. I usually use the vibration which is strong enough to get his attention. He then returns to me.

I don't know if it's the newest or 3rd, but there is no beep. I would suggest pairing the use of either the vibrate or the shock with a verbal correction (do the verbal correction at the same time as you push the button) ... that way you can eventually get rid of the collar and the verbal correction will work alone. But you have to be consistent. We never needed to use the shock. The vibration was enough for my large dogs.

It sounds like a puppy bark. My little dog is skittish about strange noises but loves this toy. I would recommend this :)

I've never tried it with this kind of behavior...just barking, but I imagine it will work for your situation. I would definitely try it.

I understand. I would also like a remote shock collar for training. However, this collar is only for barking. It is activated by sound and not by a remote. This would not help you with a stubborn dog.

You need to make sure you know what or Who is wearing which. They do have different frequency. It is up to you to know If you have an obedient dog he should not be wearing one. I have use shock training with all mydogs they seemed to learn fast. I only have to show the remote now no need to push buttons
