We have an invisible fence. If our dog is outside and starts barking, can we use the remote from inside the house to get her attention?

Yes, as long as the dog is within the range of the remote. I believe our range is 300 feet. Most of the time it only takes the beep signal to make the dog respond once they have been trained. We are on our second collar, the first one lasted 5 years, and we love it!

hi, I don't remember seeing this... *But be warned of the possibilities of it not working :( We have a dog that lives next door that makes us so miserable with his barking.... Every time the dog barked .... I also heard a HIGH PITCHED sound inside the house that was killing my ears!

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

Some dogs learn not to bark. Our dog is a difficult dog and didn't learn to stop barking. We use it when he goes outside so he won't disturb the neighbors with his barking. We use it inside when we need to take a nap or at nightime or when we don't want to hear him barking. Overall, it solved a huge problem we were having. Our dog was driving our neighbors crazy with his barking and it was causing us a lot of stress. This device doesn't hurt the dog.

Yes, seems to be. I walk my dog at reservoir and I let him get quite far ahead of me and then if I need to get his attention I can use the vibrate and he will stop and come back towards me. Also , I can be in the house, and just aim the transmitter out the window and zap him if I see him misbehaveing. Works great.

Mine never worked! Two dogs stood 15 ft from device unobstructed barking and device didn't bother them in the least!

it has an automatic bark feature. You have to press the button on the remote to activate it. When we turned ours on it shocked the dog all the time even she was not barking so I sent this POS back.

I wouldn't know the answer to that for sure - but would not hesitate to use with an invisible fence. This is not an electric type mechanism but rather one of kinetic energy - thus based on the dogs movement...as they move they create body energy and the tag works to keep critters away...not related to any electrical devices etc. I believe on the Shoo Tag site you can reach out to them and there are FAQ's, I'm sure they can clarify 100%.

Yes & yes. We had a problem with new neighbors and they kept letting their dogs bark between our houses when they tether them outside. After asking nicely, and it turning into a battle, I bought these to deter them from putting their dogs on our side of their yard. No more barking dogs! (They rent and they know I have complained to their landlord, so if they think we have something on tape, & it stops the barking, all the better)! The blinking light light can be seen easily at night to deter anyone from your home/office.

Yes, it can. There's no minimum range. I pair it with the "leave it" command so that if the dog is after something something he shouldn't be he gets a first warning to "leave it" and if he doesn't listen, I press the button and repeat the "LEAVE IT" while holding the button until he leaves it alone. Try a webcam if you want to be able to be out of the room and teach the dog that even if you're not there, the food is to be left alone.

I'm finding the same thing. Our dog will be running around and we can repeatedly press the button and nothing happens. The light on the remote will be on, but because the dog is running around, I can't see if the collar light is on. (We know it's not activating because we're close enough the hear the vibration, and the dog has specific behavior when it goes off (like he startles and stops what he's doing). Then the next time is will work. I have a second remote in my shopping cart because we need two of them, but I'm not sure if I should delete it and return this one.

Hi Susan, you can select up to three different ranges, if she walks out of that range the unit will start beeping. We change from range to range depending of the occasion. The answer would be yes, you would be able to know if she wanders. Thank you

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

I ended up returning mine because I couldn't get it to work. It only barked when someone INDOORS walked by it but never when someone OUTDOORS did, even though I had it behind the window, as well. I just don't think it works well at all

I don't know; however, I would not try to take the remote apart because you may break it. The the collar is suppose to be a training tool not a controller. Use your voice to train your dog and only hit the vibrate if the dog does not listen. I agree with pun mihok, take the batteries out and work with your dog.

I have not tried the out door version but the indoor version stops my dog from barking right away. So maybe the out door version pointed towards neighbors house? Or if you are on go terms with the neighbor suggest the Outdoor version of this Petsafe Ultrasonic to them. However, I have found that some older dogs do not seem to hear or respond to the tone possibly do to age related hearing loss.

I, too, use the tone to call my dog and he always comes running. The device does not "sleep" afer periods of inactivity. What may be happening is that the switch for a second dog may be moved. If that happens, the remote will not communicate with the collar. Because I have occasionally "pocket-stimulated" my dog, I have begun using the selector switch to make sure that I don't.
