So does this not "SHOCK" your dog? It just vibrates right?

Yes, there is absolutely NO SHOCK - no pain whatsoever. Just an utterly painless little vibration.

Yes my dog does the same thing and the shock feature even on low settings stops her immediately.

No it doesn't.. The electric shock is really low, is just to scare the dog :)

You should be able to actually feel it vibrate. To feel the shock you have to touch BOTH tips on your fingers. This is not true with the vibration. You can feel it just by holding it. Send it back but if it is too late to return to Amazon then call the company. I think they have a year warranty. For the little extra money I bought the 2 pack then I always have one charged.

It doesn't shock by itself. You have to train the dog by walking your property and showing the dog it's boundaries. We love it. Our dog knows if she leaves the yard we will shock her. After a few attempts to leave and be corrected. She listens great

Hey Trish, my dog (a black lab) seems to respond more to the noise than the shock itself. If the noise does not work well for you dog try to put the shock to the highest to see if it works. Hopes this helps :D

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

It delivers enough shock to deter animals but will not physically injure anyone that touches it. Kids will probably only make the mistake of touching it once. It delivers a pulse shock, not a constant shock. It will give anyone shocked a break to pull away.

Hi! The collar absolutely does not shock. It sends a minor vibration at the throat and there are two settings for the extent of the vibration- the lower settings gets the message across. Only negative is the battery did not last very long even tho the collar got minimum use and now it is out of use until I deal with finding g a replacement battery and those specialty items are pricey.

No vibrate mode. However, there is a tone only mode. My dog learned very quickly that, once he heard the tone, he knew to correct his behavior. Also, I can't even imagine going up to level 8. Level 3 did perfectly fine for my 60 lb. dog, and I really only had to do it a couple of times. Sorry, more info than you asked for, but I have always been against these collars until now. It really worked for me.

There is just one level of vibration. The collar needs to be pretty tight for my German Shorthair to respond to it though. That is the only con of this collar otherwise it is a great tool!!

I don't remember this devise having the option of only using the vibrate sensors. If I remember correctly the vibrating is a warning to the dog to stop barking and if the dog continues to ignore the vibrating the shock comes afterward. My husband tried the collar on himself to be sure it wasn't to harsh. He said it was very much like getting a good static shock. It mostly gets your attention with a split second of mild discomfort. I'm sure your dogs personality plays a part also. Different dogs will react differently.

It does have vibration and sound and shock settings. I cant remember for sure how many levels of vibration there are or if there is only one.....it stopped working after a year and that was a year or two ago, sorry. But when it did work it worked great my dog responded well to all settings eventually only needing the sound to stop her behavior.

I purchased it for some friends with a seven pound dog and it was safe as well as effective. The dog may act like you've killed it but it's because it is startled. I tried it on myself and it will make you jump but it doesn't really hurt. It vibrates for just a moment when you push the button.

Not that I can tell. We keep the unit on vibrate and only switch it to shock mode when absolutely necessary and then turn it back to vibrate right away. 99% of the time the vibration is all that is needed.

Just one level of vibration. If you have the collar on correctly, the one level works just fine.
