How can you test the collar to see if it is working? I have a sports model that I put on my arm and push the button. Do I have to hold it on my neck?

I actually do test on my neck but the instructions online said you can rub on hard firm surface and if yoy see the light illuminate it is working. Good luck!

Follow the instructions that came with your specific collar. It should be put on the mildest setting to start, and NO - do not hold it to your neck.

The collar works on vibration and sound together. There are some utube videos of people who put these things on their neck....Not adviseable to put it on your neck....If it is on your dog and the dog barks there should be a change in the dogs behavior after a few barks.....

Collar first has to sense a growl. Then depending on what level you have it set on, it will correct on either the first bark or it will increase correction level until barking stops and the will correct at that level the next time.

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 model 10R, which is what I have, is activated by both noise and vibration, so putting it on your arm isn't going to work. I've never tried to test it on myself, honestly. I know it works when I put it on my dog and he barks once (maybe twice) and stops.

This does not need to be wound up. It should come on when the button is pushed. Make sure nothing is obstructing the arm maybe?

You may need to press the button. I thought mine was dead too. But it only appeared to be. Once you press it to your skin it goes on.

This issue is addressed in the use's manual. The collar has a built in motion sensor ad will go into sleep mode after few minutes if no movement from the dog or it's not in use to save the battery life. Shake the collar and it will turn back on. Remember, if all else fails, read the directions. Lol

If the red light on the collar is showing solid, assume you checked the batteries in the transmitter. You also want to make sure none of the buttons are jammed; otherwise, contact the manufacturer.

When I received the collar it would not take a charge. I returned it after about a week. I had no problem returning the collar.

Yes, but it may be too much of a jolt. I would go for a smaller collar and go with a brand other than Sportdog due to their reliability issues

You are in full control of the collar. It doesnt have an automatic correction

First are you sure its not the hand held remote??I had the same problem and it turned out to be a mostly dead 9voltbattery in the hand held unit, if not, send the collar back to the company, they are very easy to work with

Honestly i just leave it on and plug it in. I can turn them off but i just don' t. I have 2 collars with 1 controller.

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.

I threw it away, if you get the chance to return this collar I would do so. you have to do something with the batteries and pushing a button...every single time. the batteries don't last long. Get a groovy pets controller.

Have no idea why it's not working. Ours is working fine. Both collar and controllet do need recharging from time to time.

I'm not sure on that. I have not had that problem. Maybe the buttons on the remote are not registering or the actual collars are bad. Check the warranty and see if you are able to send back for new ones. That's probably your best bet

Yes, you have to push the button on the remote for the collar to do anything. It has 4 buttons, one for vibration, one for shock, one for a whistling sound and one for a small flashlight on the end. It is a decent product, just not for my stubborn determined young pit bull.

Attaching it to the collar would be awful. Think about what would happen in an accident. Your dog would get thrown forward and then stopped abruptly by the neck... Get a harness or let your dog loose.

I don't understand the question. It won't let you sync it. Please help me to understand so I can answer your question. There are 2 channels, one for each collar. We only have one collar and so only use the first channel. We did what we needed to do at the beginning to pair channel one with the collar we have. Now when we charge it, the collar light goes from red to green. Then when you unplug the collar from the charger, make sure you press the green button on the side of the collar. It will make a beep and the light will flash periodically. Then you can test it to see if it's working.
