I just ordered this collar and regarding the levels of shock, is #1 the lowest? just want to make sure. Thanks

Yes and we are very happy with it. We actually tried the level one on ourselves and its very little stimulation. Our blue healer responds very well with the level of 4-5. Only used 7 a couple of times. The warning beep is all we use now. He responds to it immediately.

Yes, one is the lowest (conversely 7 is the highest) also, make sure that you adjust the prongs so that they actually make contact with skin, not just fur (we have a border collie who we thought was impenetrable until we realized it was only hitting fur).

Dear Friend,Thanks for your inquiry.Yes, the one level is the lowest.Thanks a lot.

I need a new antenna also, but so far the collar is still working. I have not had to "shock" my dog, the beep it does as a warning has worked well for him. I haven't been able to find just the antenna for the collar. I will go on the website ..Thank you Lisaly for the information

I seriously doubt it. The feature that I liked about the collar is that it gives a warning before it shocks. kThus my Pointer has learned that she can get away with one bark without being shocked. If she persists, then she gets shocked. The collar is activated by vibration. The collar is a great one, and I recommend it, but you might be better off with one that you trigger when the irritating activity occurs.

They are in order, but 123 is for one collar & 456 controls the other. The shock strength does increase, but only low-med-high, not 1-6. There is a button in the center for vibration, and that activates both when pressed.

The lowest setting is tone/vibrate only. The other 4 settings have various levels of shock along with tone. Tone comes in first, then the anti-linger shock comes in after a couple/few seconds. I have to keep everything set on high - boundary at max, level 5 on the collar. She is an extremely fast runner and get through the boundary on the lower settings when she has her mind set on a rabbit or coyote.

Make sure the battery is in correctly and the unit is charged. The is the second shock collar I have used and I have to tell you is if inconsistent and difficult to use, I wish I had never purchased it.

Sounds like a defective collar or transmitter. It should have 4 modes - shock, vibrate, beep and light - each doing that mode only. If it vibrates in both vibrate mode and beep mode, it must be defective.

My mom uses this same collar on her 12 lb shitzhu, the collar adjusts to a pretty small size so I think you could get the right fit with some adjusting. Personally, I've used this collar on three dogs for training now and I've never had one hurt, they figure it out pretty quick and the beeping before the shock is a wonderful warning.

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. ;-)

There are three different levels of shock, the first level on seven I can barely feel. I think it would be fine to use, not sure if the collar is small enough, might have to punch holes in it.

the shock it delivers will be more than enough for any size dog -so be humane and keep the setting low - I tested it on myself at 20 (it goes up to 100) and on the neck it freaking hurt! works best for short haired dogs.

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar.Good luck!

It can be. It is preset at the factory on level 2. They feel a little tiny jolt. No screaming or anything likehat. It can however be a shock collar if dialed up high enough. I had to use a higher setting when my dog...( he's 75 lbs) got out of the yard and ran like a maniac. He would not come back on command. So rather than have him get run over in the street the collar literally saved his life. He gave a little yelp turned around and ran back to his yard. This in itself was a miracle. It has proved to be a very good investment. his is not a cruel collar just a training collar. I just use the beep and he responds now. Hope this helped. It can be.

By having the "S" just means it is the more powerful of the 2. Dialing it down to the #1 setting is still pretty effective. Its like a strong static shock. And like I said, try it on yourself. (in your hand) so you know what your dog is experiencing. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. For the extra money it is well worth it..

To be honest we barely used it. Our dog has a collar for an electric door and fence and adding yet another collar was too much. I think you can adjust the intensity. The first time she yelped. I would start at the lowest intensity and work my way up so as to use the lowest level possible. You will be able to tell that your dog noticed something going on, but didn't flinch or yelp. Hope this helps.

The lowest numbers correlate to the lowest shock settings. You could just buy one and see for yourself to be sure. I don't know who the retard is that said they go all the way up to 100, but that's insanely wrong. There's no dial and only 7 buttons..... 1 and 4 is like putting a 9 volt battery on your tongue, 2 and 5 is double that and 4 and 6 is doubled again.

I had to mark each receiver with a 1 & a 2. I have not used the shock yet. I have had good results with just the vibration set at 15. Now when the dogs see the collars, they start behaving and listening.
