Hi, make sure the collar is tight enough that the electrodes contact the skin. We have a golden retriever and I had to make sure the collar was tight because of all her hair. Hope this helps.

Check make sure collar is tight enough and that the leads are making good contact with the dogs skin. you may have to trim some hair where the leads make contact with the dog.

If it is a long haired dog, you will need to buy the longer prongs to replace original ones. My dog is a Great Pyrenees and I had to buy them. Now I usually only have to use the audible button to get my dogs attention.

Not 100% sure. I believe the collar is advertised for anxiety issues primarily. You might consider calling the company or seek a trainers advise.

Your question leads me to believe the device is very close to your dog's mouth. When you test the device, you blow on it to make sure it works. If the device is very close to your dog's mouth, just restful breathing set it off due to the sensitivity of the device. You could loosen the collar so it hangs further away, which might help. If memory serves, there is a spray collar with an adjustable setting. Those are a little more pricey and you have to be careful of the settings. You don't want to your dog to get sprayed for another dog's barking. As a last resort, contact the company as they were helpful in sending a replacement as your unit might be too sensitive.

Hi there. We have a large German Shepard and she will respond to the collar even on the lowest settings. You just have to be sure to have the collar on snug enough.

I have two 60-70lb dogs. I put tue collar on very tight. If it has bad contact with the skin it won't shock effectively. It only took one shock from the collar to scare them away from my sofa

This is a problem I had to work out as well. I found that a couple things help keep the collar well-placed. First, if it is too tight the collar will slip to the side and get stuck there. If the collar is slightly loose, gravity will keep the device hanging low. In order to make sure the collar still stays in a position to feel the vibrations, I leave my dogs other (normal) collar on. I place the shock collar above their regular collar (close to the ears) so that it stays higher on the throat. It took some time to adjust the collar properly. I had to play around with how tight the collar was. Even a little change can make a big difference.

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.

I am sorry that I don't know. I looked on the collar for a number without luck. I think it is vibration as you must have the "box" on their throat area for it to work. Hope that helps.

The collar is adjustable. Just buy the one appropriate for the size of the dog. It's not magic, but it does help!

Joe, never got a chance to use it as my dog passed on. A friend of mine told me about the collar and that was when I purchased it. Most dogs hate the cone collar and the blow up collar didn't work at all, maybe because my dog had a long neck. Regardless, good luck to you and your dog

There is no on off button for the collar. The red light will only stay lit up when the collar senses the dog is moving around, after about a minute of your dog being still, it will automatically switch off, to save battery and also to prevent your dog from being accidentally shocked when it is laying down or asleep or whathaveyou. It should always vibrate or shock when the light is ON though and if it doesn't either the batteries need to be charged/replaced or your collar is defective.

I don't know about the comparison, but I have my collars set high on my min pins. They stay in the boundaries except my male occasionally can run across when he's not thinking about it. I don't think the fence has enough time to respond or his collar bounces away from his neck when this happens. I love this system none the less.

I had this problem too! At the botton of the block or box with the prongs there is a clear circle. You will need a screwdriver or you could possibly move it with a fingernail. Turn it and it will activate the collar.

There are a couple of screws that hold the cover on to the collar. Just loosen them and the cover should pop right off!

I have a 70 lb American Bulldog and the collar is a bit tight on him to the point that I don't like putting it on him. However I have put it on him before and he definatly responds to it. Also the collar I beleive/feel that the clip is cheaply made and I had it on my 40 lb black lab and it broke. I still need to get a different collar so I can continue to use it. Hope this helps.
