Do pets set this off all the time?

That is an interesting question. I put the switch in the master bathroom and the dogs are never in that area. My guess is that it is too high to set off the switch. Good luck.

If you have a bigger size animal I think that it does set it off. I have a 4 lb chihuahua and she doesn't set it off and I have a 18 lb cat and she does set it off. I have mine in my daughter's bedroom so the few times my cat sets it off is low compared to how often my daughter leaves the lights on and leaves the room.

That depends on the position of the switch. at my house, I installed the switch at the laundry room (very useful by the way, when you enter the room handful), and none of the dogs activate the motion. but again, that depends on the layout of the room and the position of the switch.

Yes every time it is powered off, you'll have to reset it all - from the clock, to the feedings.times/amounts.

I have a LARGE dog - and it does go off when I have my dog out on my patio (where I have the unit). I have to block it while he is out there. It is sensitive, but NOT too much so. Haven't had any 'false' rings.

No, it will cause the thermostat to run constantly & shorten its life. The thermostat turns on and off according to the pet sitting on top of the pad....constant pressure on top would not be good.

According to the pkg insert it is supposed to shut down if dog is not in.motion. It's motion activated and should go back in with movement.

It is pretty sensitive and the sensitivity cannot be adjusted. It may still be set off every time your puppy walks over it.

If its charged, the light stays on for a moment after the collar senses movement. That way if the dog is asleep or inactive the collar conserves battery life. No on off button on the collar.

Yes, your dog would definitely set off this alarm. Very sensitive, which is what I wanted.

No. It is set up to go on and off at pre-programmed times. There is another product that shuts off power after a fixed time.

it only stays on while the weight of an animal is one it. Once the animal exits the pad, it turns off.

It does not take much to set it off. I would think a dog could do it. Good luck

Yes. You set it and can be stopped anytime you want. I think it has to be done manually though.

Yes. But it may prove annoying as, if the dog is in and out constantly, it would be going off each time as it is sensitive to motion. If the dog is housed and infrquentlly goes in and out of the door it would be fine, I think.

I don't believe so. It's just an on off sort of thing. It is very sensitive though, it switches to bright even when my dogs run in front of it.

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 is a motion detection alarm. Motion does set it off. I have found if you set it away from the edge of a shelf, that it will not have a line of sight to the floor and does not set it off. Depending on where you display it, if your dog is large, or gets on furniture, will determine if the dog will set it off. If its not a motion sensored alarm you are looking for then this is not what you want. It is a fairly sensitive motion alarm.

As far as I know (and I have the one for cats, not dogs) there is no automatic shut-off.
