How does the controller work with two dogs? If one dogs acts up does it shock both?

No it doesn't. It has three different settings on it. One for collar one, collar two, and the third is for both collars. You can also change the shock level, but make sure you look at the level when you change which collar you are about to use! One of my dogs is a lot more stubborn than the other, which requires a stronger shock.

We use the Pet safe Little dog remote trainer for bark control on 14 pound maltese/pekinese mx and it works very well. Have never used the shock part, only the noise. Now if we put collar on her she will not bark at all. Only negative is short battery life.

Only comes with the black one. You have to order the others with the correct corresponding colors to the controller. I bought a red one, too. I only have two dogs.

I can not think of very many circumstances where you would want to correct 2 dogs at the exact same time... you would be much better off buying the 2 dog system. Look at the Dogtra 1902NCP model -- this model lets you correct 2 dogs independently of another with a single remote. Also, PLEASE take the time understand how to use a remote trainer before using it -- there are many videos out there (both free and paid) that detail how to use a remote trainer properly.

It is very easy to correct both dogs with this setup. When it is in multi dog mode, each button will go to a designated collar. For example, the top button will be dog 1, the bottom will be dog 2, and the side button can be dog 3. The remote is small and easy to use with one hand. I have been very pleased with the performance of this unit.

YES!!!! You will need to get the 2 dog model or if it is cheaper get 2 one dog models. Train the females one at a time (let them know how it feels when you do something wrong). Then when you put on both collars and say your "stop/move" word they will remember what the collar does and no fighting! After awhile you will just have to use the vibrate function and no more shock. AWESOME!!!

Barking does not initiate a shock. Pushing the shock button on the remote does work.

I was making the mistake of not having the remote set to the on position myself. To charge just plug each one of the charger pins into the port on each of the collars and the remote, bottom. Lights...yellow and red will flash until it is charged then they it will remain lit on red. Collar has 3 vibration command buttons:V1 for dog 1, V2 for dog 2 and V for both dogs. The vibrations have two different modes. This feature will serve different training purposes. For example,V1,V2 serve as warning before shock and V as attention call for two dogs. L1 & L2 is for low shock Hl1 & H2 is for high shock. I hope this helps you! I was making the mistake of not having the remote set to the on position myself.

I have three large dogs and I use one controller for all three collars. Just make sure you get the controller for multiple dogs. Aetertek has some for multiple dogs and some for one dog.

There is a alert button on the side of the remote, if you have had to use the shock on your dog a few times they don't like it so put the collar on when they are in the yard when your dog barks or tries to leave the yard hit the side button and see how your dog re acts, if doesn't then use the shocket believe me your dog will get the point.

On the remote you can switch from one collar to the other one directly from the remote. The distance is not all that great about 50ft. If you are 50ft away from your animals you can switch to whichever collar you want and shock. Let me tell you that the shocking power is great i have a labrador and I put it between 1 and 5 and it will not take more than one shock for her to listen.

yes, there are three different alerts, sound, vibration, and shock. The shock has numerous levels. I have an 85 lab/bulldog mix. only took him twice to get shocked on lowest level to realize what the sound and vibration means. responds to me just picking up the controller, when his collar is on.

I have 2 dogs, it works with one when a treat is the reward for coming when I blow the whistle. The other dog just ignores the whistle.

The Alpha will control up to 20 dogs with the one controller. Its fairly easy to operate with 2 dogs. I run 2 dogs with my Alpha and love it when it works. I had problems with one collar losing gps communication. The training collar side would still work so I would call the dog in and turn off the collar for a few seconds then turn back on and it start working again. This would happen once or twice on a all day hunt on some hunts not at all. I returned the collar to the retailer for a replacement which took much longer then it should because of backorders from Garmin. Other then then collar problem it has been a game changer for me and the way I hunt chukar here in Nevada. The Alpha will control up to 20 dogs with the one controller.

I actually use it with 3 dogs. I have poop for a memory but have a system that works well for me. The transmitter has 3 buttons, 1 on the side and 2 in front. I assigned the buttons left to right based on the dogs ages...youngest on the left, etc. Works great for me. And although you haven't asked, I actually give myself a "hit" just so I know exactly what the dog is getting when corrected. You only want to get their attention, kinda like a tug on a leash,...not hurt them.

Hello Amie, you can train up to 3 dogs separately. There are individual buttons for each dog and different programs regarding vibration and shock settings. The intensity of the stimulation can also be selected. The device is overall very sturdy and made for long lasting. The only downside is that it does not turn an and off automatically. It needs to be turned on and off each time manually. I got used to it now and it doesn't bother me anymore. This brand is my favorite trainer now. Greetings! S.

You can adjustment the strength of the signal and "shock" on a scale of 1 to 5, 5 being highest. Our dachshund mix and terrier mix use 4. The collar may be too large and the transmitter bulky and heavy for the smaller dog, it looks like it weighs down the terrier.
