we have two dogs, would both go off if one barks and the other is quiet?

We have 2 dogs - their individual collars are triggered by the barking offender only. They do not trigger the other dog's collar (the non-barker). Best. Collar. Ever. There is peace in the house!

I don't believe so as the collar reacts to the vibration of the dog barking. If your second one isn't barking then the collar does not correct. I have two dogs and only use the collar on my yappy one.

You can't shut it off. The closer you get to the unit the more it barks. Otherwise get a real Dog.

the dog may not hear so well due to breed. dogs over the years have been bread to do different thing for man. hunt by smell sight or sound. my unit works ok but there is a pack of small dogs next door.they do stop barking after a min or so. I wish my neighbors would just move I can only hope. Joe

It is very quiet. I have to be in the room with to hear it. However, I would think a dog would be okay since their hearing and sense of smell is so much more acute than ours plus I think the dog would get to where it is in a very short time.

there is no sound. this is for close contact to stop an attack. not to stop barking dogs off in the distance.

Some dogs learn not to bark. Our dog is a difficult dog and didn't learn to stop barking. We use it when he goes outside so he won't disturb the neighbors with his barking. We use it inside when we need to take a nap or at nightime or when we don't want to hear him barking. Overall, it solved a huge problem we were having. Our dog was driving our neighbors crazy with his barking and it was causing us a lot of stress. This device doesn't hurt the dog.

I dont believe so. When mine yawn out loud or make any other noise the collar does nothing. only when they bark. thats just my experience

I think it would stop them, my poodle is scared to death of this sound. I just have to pick up the can he stops barking. Works great for the cat too. You do have to keep it handy by so you can use it immediately, you can't wait to correct whatever they are doing wrong.

Good question. There are certainly times when our dog barks when he doesn't have the collar on. However, I would say that the annoying barking is definitely decreasing. The main thing is that if we just show him the collar, he grumbles a bit but basically he shuts right down. If the collar is on him, he doesn't usually bark more than once or twice.

I think you would have to couple the sound with a quick jerk on the leash. In other words, hit the device and quickly give her a sharp jerk and tell her "down." That way she will tie the sound to the down command. Over time, you should be able to just tell her "down" and in order to avoid the sound, she will comply. It does work well for barking, but I also couple it with "quiet!" then a quick blast on the device. They are now at the point where just telling them "quiet" gets the desired response.

It's activated by vibration from the sound they're making. The louder the bark, the more the vibration and then it reacts.

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.

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

The one I have does not respond to barking. I have to push the button to correct the action.

It really depends on how often your dog barks, at least to a degree. You could remove the battery when your dog is not wearing it, as that probably would extend the battery life. They should work longer than 6 wks, however, in my opinion, but most dogs should have 'learned their lesson' (re: what happens when they insist on barking when the collar is on) within 6 wks. At least our hounds did. . .

My experience is that the collar allows the dogs to express themselves quietly -- growls, low unvoiced barks, etc -- and only reacts to a real bark. My dogs quickly learned how much noise they could make with the collar on without setting it off. I think your dog would probably be able to continue growling, unless he growls with tremendous volume.

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.
