What is the best setting for results. I had it set on 30 but it seems not to have any affect my dog just looks at the receiver.

What type of dog do you have and is the fur on his neck ollowing the pegs to touch his neck? If he just looks at you, you may try notching it up 5 settings at a time. I have my shitzu responding to the beep and have had no issues with it making contact when needing it. Also make sure its charged well and not laying on top of the dogs regular collar.hope that helps! Cindy

I agree with Cindy about the proper fit as our dog definitely responds. You do have to be sure the collar is making the proper contact with the dog's neck. Good luck

I don't have this issue. However before you think something is wrong with your receiver be sure you go into the Receiver's Home Menu>System Setup>Other Setup>Auto Power Down. Check and be sure that Zone 2 doesn't have it powering down after 30 min. If this feature is off or is set to power down after an hour or more then you might have an issue. Good Luck.

Motion sensors are not too sensitive, specially in the case of small pets. Try factory setting first, it should work fine.

I wish I could help you but my receiver did not work long enough to answer that question. I was never able to get help for Onkyo or Amazon to get it fixed. It's been setting in my supply room over a year.

We have a fairly large house and yard and never had an issue with the range inside or out. If you're going beyond ~75 yards I can't really comment b/c never tried to use it further than that. The problem with this device though is NOT the range...it's the delay you must suffer through between when you click to 'wake up' the remote and when you are actually able to deliver the shock. In my experience the delay was so long that the dog had finished doing the bad thing before I could shock him. I suggest not buying this model and looking for one that is always on and ready to work exactly when you need 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.

no as far as i know you can not adjust any setting. I do not like that i can not really tell if it works. It must cause she doesn't bark as much. No way of testing that it is working.

Batteries. Very difficult to work with. You need to find an area on the pet that reflects the normal temperature. Then use that same area always as your baseline. Every pet is different and there is not enough calibration range to dial it in..... and again has to be calibrated to each pet.

I usually "calibrate" a set by first setting it to "cinema" mode and tweaking from there. I happen to have set up one of these sets recently. I have noticed that this set starts up by having you choose between "showroom" and "home. "Home" is the first thing to select. Then I went into the menu, selected "cinema" mode and turned down the "color" setting some, because the colors were much too rich. Then I adjusted the brightness and contrast. I always compare several channels because the colors on any one channel are often inaccurate. I didn't touch the "tint (or hue)" setting at all. I also shut off all the noise reduction, because I have FIOS TV and noise isn't much of a problem. I hope this helps, and is a good starting point for you.

It looks like everyone has already answered the questioin re the ample volume. Just want to make some comments that might help newcomers: Use the aperture(s) that are supplied, that will decrease the distance and sensitivity, if animals are a problem. Also I use mine on an electric timer so that it is only active at night. ALso don't aim the sensor at nearby bushes or trees because they will trigger the sensor during windy conditions. You can always find the perfect location that will provide adequate protection against human intruders.

Another response based on the other responses regarding the sensitivity. I think this will depend on your dog. The dog we purchased this for is deaf and he's very sensitive. Usually, we only use the paging feature but for correction, rarely have we had to turn it above 20. He weighs about 45-50 lbs. As I mentioned about the collar size in my other response, my other dog is about 55 lbs and she's all muscle. She seems to respond in the 30-40 range for correction and is responsive to the paging as well.

I am generally charging once a week, trying to watch for flashing of the signal as it says in the manual. If you are like me you are using the stimulation frequently. My 11 month old Lab is very hard headed. Of the 7 levels, I do not get response in a potential situation below 6. I agree with others to be sure and turn the collar unit off after each use. Wish you the best!

There is a setting adjustment depending on the surrounding temperature. We occasionally get water glare pictures or tree branch movement (we left ours on normal). Double check the range and anticipated movement area. We use it for cattle feeding and watering, we also get wild life from flying to 4 legged. Also if you have got an empty picture something could go through undetected depending on your interval settings.

It depends on how far away you want the dog to stay from your garden. The settings don't change the intensity of the shock to the dog, but the range of the collar. I think it works in increments of 2 feet per bar on the display screen of the transmitter. You'd have to read the instruction manual. I haven't had to use mine in a while, so I really don't remember the specific settings. I hope this helps.

There seem to be a lot of variables that affect how the tag and sensor work together. I don't know whether the sensor is too weak or if it merely requires that the sensor and the tag be well-aligned because the sensor beam is too narrow. I also don't know how tall your pet is. I recommend calling the manufacturer to see if someone there can help you.

Hi Harold - there must be a defect then. I set mine for 345 and it stops at that - it will fluctuate a few degrees down when in use - but nothing major. I would contact them and have it replaced
