Does this have an automated bark feature? Or do you have to push a button to correct?

It does have automated bark feature..however our husky learned how to ignore it...lol! He doesn't cry as long as we are with him. It is one of the best ones we tried. Good Luck!

yes, you will have to program it. I suggest watching this youtube demonstration : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gBQrinVNOyI

Hi Zach. It does but goes dormant after ( which seems to defeat the purpose) and you have to push the button to reactivate it. We ended up returning it because the bark feature is only semi automated.

it has an automatic bark feature. You have to press the button on the remote to activate it. When we turned ours on it shocked the dog all the time even she was not barking so I sent this POS back.

It does have the feature for automatic ani bark. You do have to turn it on manually, every time the unit is turned on. I like the fact that you can start training with shock, then move to vibrate and finish with sound. Of course it has the option to do all 3 in order. Some people use different corrections for different commands. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

It has a dial on the side that turns (you can barely see it in the photo). Each setting is gone through to get to the next. The settings are "Off", "Test"- will make "the sound" regardless of barking or not (I wish there was some way to get past this with out making "the sound"), next is low which requires the most noise to set the correction off. After that is Med which I find sets off with the some sounds of talking, so that doesn't work for my household. And last on the dial is High, which is so sensitive that talking and noises around the house set it off which it make this setting useless to me.

Yes it does, a nice simple one. I only wish it didn't beep every time you change the setting, drives the dog crazy!

It is easy. There are 3 buttons on the transmitter. You can assign a button to up to 3 dogs. You correct the dog by hitting their button. The only switching you would do is the intensity level, which would do the same for every dog on your transmitter.

It does both, but never at the same time. If you're holding the remote looking right at it, the button on the side makes the collar unit "beep" so as to locate your pup without shocking him/her (but it's not very audible, almost useless); the remote will have 2 soft buttons on the front, the smooth button is to SHOCK your pup and the button with a little bump on it is to make the collar vibrate and the intensity is assigned with the level wheel.

It's activated by vibration from the sound they're making. The louder the bark, the more the vibration and then it reacts.

The transmitter does not have an audible tone when the button is pressed - only a light indicator. You can hear the base unit dialing which confirms a successful transmission. My mother-in-law had difficulty not knowing whether she pushed the button or not largely due to confusion due to Parkinson's disease even though the base unit was in her room. There is a delay before the phone starts dialing. She was convinced the button did not work every time. We tested it repeatedly with never once a failure. An audio tone could be a useful feature.

It doesn't. Each collar comes with its own remote. I just marked the remotes with the dog's initial and put a black collar on one dog and orange on the other so that I don't get the collars and remotes mixed up. One of our dogs is more easy-going than the other so his beeper/buzzer is set at a lower charge than the stubborn dog. Honestly after training, the beeper is all that is necessary for correcting most behavior. I rarely ever use the buzzer feature!

I say,"No Barking!" and then press the button. I don't hold it down any longer than a second. It gets their attention. Sometimes if I just show them the "clicker", they stop barking. Other times, they don't stop barking at all if they are really motivated to bark, like at a cat, or at someone walking a dog by the house. So, I've had mixed results.

Yes. There is a separate button for each. 99% of the time all our 100 lb dog needs is a "beep" or two to get him to get his full attention.

Collar first has to sense a growl. Then depending on what level you have it set on, it will correct on either the first bark or it will increase correction level until barking stops and the will correct at that level the next time.

No, this model does not or I have not found the right button yet. I have used these for decades and love them My old did automatically, not this one.

Just point it at the dog and press the button. It is really loud! You can test it to see just how loud it is.

It is not a bark collar. We use the remote. Have to be intentional on the exact behavior you want to avoid. Can't keep zapping randomly or dog will be confused. Completely manual remote. Great tool for training.

I don't know if it's the newest or 3rd, but there is no beep. I would suggest pairing the use of either the vibrate or the shock with a verbal correction (do the verbal correction at the same time as you push the button) ... that way you can eventually get rid of the collar and the verbal correction will work alone. But you have to be consistent. We never needed to use the shock. The vibration was enough for my large dogs.

No this is not a bark collar. It will not automatically react to your dog barking.

I have not yet used the bark limiter, but manual says when you have it set to bark limiter, everything else is deactivated. However, the remote allows you to set it back to "training mode" whenever you want, so it's not a problem. Seems like this is best because you don't want to double shock your dog.
