Turn it on. Hold the box up against your throat with the probes pressed firmly against your skin. Make a braking noise.

1. Hold it in your hand and bark. 2. Post it on Youtube. *recommender does not assume any liability.

hold it on your hand while turning it on and move it a bit. It feels like a static shock. I'm sure you've felt that before. Your dog will certainly NOT like it, but that's the point and it's not harmful.

It is not supposed to shock you at all. Please return the product, it me may be a defect.

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.

There is a mode button that changes from shock vibrate an so on. Which is the button that is in the middle on the bottom. I like to try an vibe before shock an that's hard because I have to vin an then go threw the modes to shock if have to an if the is something interesting going on I don't have time to go threw the modes..Buyother then that its great works great

no, there is an option to shock without sound, or make it beep without shocking the dog... but there is no vibration, though i have actually tested this on myself and the really low levels would barely be felt and might be just enough to get their attention without actually causing discomfort...

I wouldn't but a shock color on a 8lb dog. At least not this one. The shock drops my husky. I think it would be to strong. It could kill your dog. I think they make special ones for smaller dogs.

I'm not sure about a shock after a beep, but there is a beep and vibration. It may be that I just didn't experiment enought

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.

Yes it will hurt your dog. It's a shock collar. Anything that shocks you will hurt. Your dog will get hurt at least once, when it barks through the first two warnings. It will yelp and look around for something that is hurting it. It's the point of the collar. Eventually, your dog will learn that the beeps are a warning. If it doesn't learn to expect the shock after the first couple of days, I would suggest a different method of behavior support.

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.

Don't attempt it. I accidentally bumped myself with it one time on my hand.....stunned me all the way to my armpit in a split second!

I don't know. But I accidently shocked my handad and it hurt! Don't know what it would feel like on an attackers hip, thigh etc. Someone asked a while back about the item and I didn't answer. I'll try to find the question again. Think it was about the arcs being on both sides...which mine isn't. Don't know if that is normal or malfunction.

It's a tester for the shock feature. Touch the wires to the prongs on the collar and hit a shock button. If the light lights up it means it's working.

I used to use a similar model with my 20 lb dog. When they say 'static' it is like when you walk across a carpeted room & get shocked when you touch the door knob. It is a static electric shock. I only had to use on mine for about a month & then I just had to lay it in front of her kennel & she understood. :) I hope this helps.

There are 3 levels. Darla, the 2 other responses to this question aren't correct. It worked fine for me. I am training a young pit mix, and have only had to use shock a few times. She is now responding to vibrate.

My dog weighs 51lbs. I shocked her twice and haven't had to since. But when it says it shocks 3times it means with every bark. It shuts off on bark 5. So 15 shocks before it shuts off. I wouldn't leave my dog alone wearing it on shock. I still put it on her when I leave but on vibrate. I think a remote collar could've worked better in my situation but it worked so that's what counts in my book. The second time it shocked her I was taking it off of her and she didn't bark. I agree with others when they say it malfunctions. A remote one would be better to train with. I haven't had problems with it on vibrate. My dog weighs 51lbs.

It doesn't really "shock" you electrically, if that's your concern. It goes from level 1 to Level 4. Level 1 doesn't do much, it just makes you hand jump. Level 2 you start to feel a tickle. Three is like shocking gum/pen, it makes the bones in your hand viberate, and 4 Makes your hand feel weird. There's no pain to it, just humor. Hope that helped! �
