Once obedience has been established with the collar is it necessary to keep this collar on or can they return to a regular collar?

Not sure I don't keep it on him. His biggest problem is on weekends when neighbors are out. He didn't bark the entire day when wearing the collar. Only use vibrate and it works.

We don't leave the collar on 24/7. Just in times where necessary. I can point the remote at our dog even if he doesn't have the collar on and he will stop and listen.

I only used the collar for about a month and then I stopped putting it on my dog. He still obeys perfectly some 3 months later. I have heard from others that sometimes it is necessary to use the collar again as a "refresher." I'm keeping mine handy, but so far I haven't needed to use it.

I was able to return to the regular collar, but will put the training one back on when guests come over to help regulate her behavior if needed.

Some dogs will become "collar trained" though. But merely putting it own can bring their behavior back.

I really don't know. Our dog won't bark now when I put the collar on and don't even turn it on. Sometimes if he is barking I will just show him the collar and say "do you want me to put this collar on you?" and he will stop. I don't know you would use it without the collar as you have to inject this directly into the collar as it doesn't have a spray type nozzle..

Every dog is different I am sure. All I can say is that my dogs knows when I put the collar on that they will be corrected for barking, so they do not do it. I do not leave the collar on them because there are two large protruding nodules inside the collar. They also know that when the collar is not on and they will bark. Perfect scenario would be a collar you could always have on... I have yet to see one without protruding parts though as that is how the collar works. It sure beats not having a corrective collar though. Good Luck!

You need to shorten the strap, or otherwise they can do that! Just leave it long enough for them to lay down!Just don't attach to their collar, too dangerous and can cause them to choke. I use their cloth harness, and attach the ring on the strap to the ring on their cloth harness, I obtained from Dorothy's Harnesses@gmail.com.

Yep! In fact, with our two dogs we started out with only one collar. Later on, we found out we needed a second collar because the other one had become an escape artist as well. We went to wally-world and bought a second collar there, activated the collar, and it was good to go!

Let's put it this way, she acted like it did. She growled, which is not something I wanted. Using the collar to teach her to walk on a leash without pulling was very effective and she stopped pulling the first time I used it.

I don't know about the comparison, but I have my collars set high on my min pins. They stay in the boundaries except my male occasionally can run across when he's not thinking about it. I don't think the fence has enough time to respond or his collar bounces away from his neck when this happens. I love this system none the less.

This is remote prompted, Im not sure about the bark part of it, if it is auto correct, that part of the collar we have not had to use. But I will say we have a very stuburn 10 month old Husky/Lab mix and she has a mind of her own but with this collar she is learning, it is a great item for the price. Hope this helps

The collar has different settings. One is a ramp up, one will shock "instantly" and has different levels you can choose. I think it also has a setting that will shock and then reset if the dog doesn't bark again for awhile.

On occasion my other dog set off the collar. You could always tell when it happened because the dog wearing the collar ran away quickly. I saw it happen a handful of times. It obviously didn't deter me from using the collar.

It is a little "backup" collar that the instructions say you should use, in addition to your pet's normal collar to prevent the dog from slipping both collars and getting loose. I personally don't use it, I never did so decades ago either. I use a harness with the flexi-lead these days.

I've taken ours off a few times and put it back on. Velcro seems to still hold good. Just make sure the new collar width is compatible.

The collars aren't easily removed--they are intended to stay on for a month, then permanently removed. IMO there is no downside to leaving the collar on full time.

I think it would depend on what type of training you are using these collars for. I have used these collars for years and find that even with my older, well-trained dogs they are much more responsive if they just wear the collars (without even turning them on).

Thank you for your question! Once the battery is in place, the collar is ready to be set and used. Please know that we do recommend to spend some time in training your pet with this system.

you will need to train the dog not to bark at everything don't rely on a collar to train your dog

Not sure exactly what you are asking about, but my dog wears his collar all the time when I'm home so I don't have to worry about putting it on or off each outside visit. People have said that in multi-level homes that they have had to watch because it did work in the home and the dog wasn't allowed upstairs/downstairs. It would depend on how wide an area you have the settings.
