Will another dog barking trigger the correction? Is the unit weatherproof? Does it come with long prongs?

No. The unit works by listening for barks but by also sensing the vibrations in the dogs vocal chords. It using these together to determine whether or not to administer correction. The unit is weather resistant. I doubt it would survive swims in a pool or a lake but my dogs wear it all the time with no issues in rain, snow, etc. yes it came with some long prongs that could be attached as my dog needed those as well.

I live on acreage and there is not a problem however around buildings such as apartments I don't know. I like this collar for many reasons. I use the ringer first time than the vibration and the shock for last resort. All I have to say is do you want your collar the the misbehaving stops. You may want to stay close and listen and do one of the three choices. Be careful of the shock it does not take much I keep mine at 15.

It comes with long and short probes. I have a wire haired dog and use the long ones. The collar is excellent. My dog listens to me. I only use the sound to get his attention after a couple hours of training using this collar. it's also waterproof - this is a great product.

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.

Hi Lauren,If you put the unit outside, it won't bother the neighbor's bark happy dogs, or the guinea pig.

Yes, there is a Bark Correction Mode. I haven't tried it (my dog isn't a barker), but guide says the device does.

Yes. Open the cover on your dog fence unit and look for a switch that will be either set on 7K or 10K. That is the frequency setting for your system. You need the matching collar (obviously). The unit to which I refer is usually a grey box that plugs into the outlet and has the underground wires running to it. It usually is held on with just clips. If you want to unplug the unit while you open the cover it isn't going to hurt anything and will give you piece of mind on not getting zapped (from the electricity not the collar).

It's not a bark collar....trust me, I wish it was a combo unit but as a shock/ vibrate collar, it hasn't failed me one bit. Good luck

It has a dial on the side that turns (you can barely see it in the photo). Each setting is gone through to get to the next. The settings are "Off", "Test"- will make "the sound" regardless of barking or not (I wish there was some way to get past this with out making "the sound"), next is low which requires the most noise to set the correction off. After that is Med which I find sets off with the some sounds of talking, so that doesn't work for my household. And last on the dial is High, which is so sensitive that talking and noises around the house set it off which it make this setting useless to me.

It seems to only be activated by the dog closest to the collar. I've barked loudly right next to my dog and it has not gone off. But it has gone off without anyone including my dog barking, so it is a little unpredictable.

Not sure on guarantee! Yes it will set one off if other one barks , this is why we sent it back!!

I'm sorry I never had a chance to use it. I started calling the police every night since the first of this year because of the noise,(they didn't seem to be doing anything) so I ordered the bark control just in case the police didn't correct the situation. They did & I gave it away to my brother. He was dealing with 3 barking dogs. 2 dogs stop barking, 1 still barks, sister in law thinks it's deaf. My neighbor no longer has the dog & we are enjoying peace and quiet after 2 years of nonstop barking. Good luck to you.

Hmm that's a good question. It does go "off" if my dog is whining but my dog doesn't seem to stop whining or crying right away. I have only put it the beep mode or the mode that increases if they don't stop so I've never really tested it on one of the shock settings to see if it stops him whining right away. So whining does at least cause the correction to occur.

It will help with howling but not whining/wimpering. If the dog is more than 30 to 40 feet away from the unit, it might not work. If nothing else, the dog will probably avoid that area but still bark on the other side of the yard.

There's a round dial on unit which adjusts intensity of warning noise and later shock if the dog continues to bark after warning noise. If you're asking about the web material itself, well, that's self explanatory.

Not that I know of. It does emit a short high pitch sound every 30 seconds or so. The ground hogs may get annoyed with it and leave. It does not annoy me. Left it there for 3 months and took it down. Got rid of my gopher.
