My dogs like to "talk" to each other and us. Will this collar stop that? I would prefer it did not.

Yes, it will. My dog liked to sing when the piano was playing and it stopped that. I wish I'd known.... Any use of the vocal chords and it will zap your dog. Also, this collar works for awhile but then starts zapping your dog randomly for no reason. Look at other reviews. It is horrible. This is also something I'd have known. The first time it happened we didn't realize what had just taken place. After it did it again, we thought maybe it needed to be recharged. Charged the collar and it did it again. We quit using it because that was just plain abuse. I would NOT buy this collar.

Kay i think it will stop because the collar do the signal when my dog is howling. I put it in myself and bark and I received the signal.

No this is not a bark collar. It will not automatically react to your dog barking.

I have not made the collar tight enough to stay on the back of the neck. The collar migrates to underneath the neck while the dogs are playing. I think they respond well because it is not painful but irritating. They can't quite figure it out so they just mind your command and continue playing.

It works fine having the dogs wear both collars when they are outside. Ours have worn them for three years. Recently, we combined the radio and barrier rock transmitters on to one collar and that is working also.

The collar works. It has to be on snug. You will be able to tell due to your dog doesn't like it. The barking will halt or change to a cry till he or she stops.

The collar and the remotes are paired together. If you are familiar with cell phone and bluetooth devices it is along the same principle. It shouldn't effect the other one.

Probably. My dogs don't like sounds of any kind. This device only stops them because they can't figure out where it comes from.

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!

I bought this to stop my next door neighbors dogs from barking and it seems to work. When they start barking I just walk over to the fence and raise my arm up over the fence and push the button and they stop barking. So it may work for you but I guess it depends on the dog etc. on how well.

no, but it would be nice if it did. you need to make your dog think the tone is your voice or your command

I use it with two dogs - one bigger and more stubborn than the other. We set her collar at a higher level (on the collar itself) than we set the little guys. The only time it causes issues is when you are needing to change the dial to a higher/lower setting and push the wrong button. Then the dog who gets a vibration or shock looks at you like "I am being good!" while the other one is trying to cross the street. ;-)

I have multiple dogs as well and the other dogs barking do not set the collar off only the dog wearing it will set it off.

It all depends. The collar does kinda "snap them out of" whatever the distraction might be and then they are ready to listen to your command. Remember, its a training tool. It will take time and patience. Make sure you fully charge the collar before you put it on and make sure the probes are as close as you can to skin. I have a husky and because she has such thick fur, sometimes she didnt respond to the collar. They do turn into different dogs as soon as you start to use the collar for training. I would recommend it.

Sadly this will not help with the whining. Also if the dog is smart (as mine turned out to be), they learn that they can "get away with" a single bark so they stick to that. It did really help with the long running bark sessions which I'm delighted to say are a thing of the past.I feel like it was a good value for my dog and I. We get along much better when she wears it.There are dog collars with remotes which allow you to control the sending of the correction. That might help.Good luck!Alena

CAUTION! If your dog is aggressive, correcting the dog with this type of collar can ramp up the aggression. Be careful, and please work with a trainer.

Thank you for the question! We do not recommend saying "No" to your dog in addition to the correction administered by the collar. However, we do highly recommend praising your dog after they stop barking as this will reinforce the training and make the collar more effective.

Yes it'll work if the dog is growling. The collar works when it senses vibration. Our dog is very vocal, but more wining that growling and sometimes the collar wouldn't quite pick up on the wining.
