why do you need a vibration setting in addition to the tone and variable levels of shock? And is the training DVD good?

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!

Thank you for your question! This device offers 7 different levels of correction, but only 1 level of vibration.

It makes a tone without shocking, but I don't think it is a vibration. When you first use it (when calling and dog won't come or going out into a street), simply tone her. When she continues, do a low shock. After doing that a couple of different times, she now comes at the tone to avoid the little shock that would come next. It works very well. In fact, just putting the collar on her seems to keep her in the yard.I just read Craig's answer so I guess it does vibrate. Husband is the disciplinarian so I don't know that much except that it works well. We have never gone above the 3 or 4 setting to shock.

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

Not that I can tell. We keep the unit on vibrate and only switch it to shock mode when absolutely necessary and then turn it back to vibrate right away. 99% of the time the vibration is all that is needed.

Hey there C.A. I actually got the base kit and upgraded to the Master Kit. The base kit is missing 1) Rumble Roller, 2) Qi Gong DVD, 3) Travel & Sport DVD, 4) Master Class DVD, 5) Weighted Gloves, 6), Red (heavier) thigh band, 7) Master Class Calendar. The difference between the 2 systems is Night & Day. I just don't think a person can do this program without the Rumble Roller. You need the Foam roller for the areas which are very painful and stiff. You need the rumble roller for areas which are stiff and require deeper work to loosen up. It's like magic when you transition an area which was very painful to start from the Foam Roller to the Rumble Roller. You really feel like you've made progress. By the end, virtually every part of your body will use the Rumble Roller ... and NO you don't believe that's possible when you start! The Qi Gong class REALLY helps you to focus your mind and relax. I always did it on "Day 7" of the workout week; the day you're supposed to take off. The Master Class DVD puts the system together making the final week by FAR easier to follow and adds a couple tips and tricks. I will say that the weighted gloves and Travel & Sport DVD didn't seem to add much to the program. The bands, yellow or red, tend to shoot down your legs. I found myself worrying about keeping them on more than feeling the tension they were supposed to add. However, I could see how ALL of these tools would be very valuable for the right person. I'm a bit younger and more fit so perhaps the slight changes in resistance didn't affect me like they would other people. Overall, I would DEFINITELY go for the Master Class. It's no more or less difficult than the Basic; it's just a more complete program.

my view is that percussion causes vibration, so while it is adjustable, the higher settings givehigher percussion, which causes more vibration. Its not quite as strong as the older HoMedics Pro massagerbut still well worth the price.

It has 3 (or maybe 4 since I usually operate mine at the highest setting, and not 100% sure) different settings for "vibration" the lowest being pretty mild, though I would say it's far from being not noticeable. All settings in my opinion are functional as far as delivering "good vibrations" (pun not intended) I don't think most people would think of the lowest setting as too strong or even too weak. Guess what I'm saying is, I think you will find that this massager will fit the bill in delivering enough massage action for most needs. And considering the Gold Standard for these types of massagers are a few hundred dollars, this one is well worth the money for performance delivered.

Not sure what you are asking? The remote has tone shock and vibrate. Are you wanting to know if you can tone and shock simultaneously?

The base goes up and down from side to side. Good Vibration action. The machine has a speed control that makes it go faster or slower--your choice, all while it's vibrating. I needed something that vibrated slowly for my 70 year old mother who primarily uses it. I add squats, and arm lifts and even sit on it to do some leg lifts for my abdomen. Its a good workout for my aching joints and muscles..

Yes, there's a warning area (only tone) and a correction are (shock)! I used the shock modes a couple of weeks, and then leave it on only tone mode, because the collar sometimes give them shocks randomly when they are close but not even in the warning area

I would say it depends on where you place the pads as to how intense the little shocks are. On the feet, you can run it all the way up to an intensity of ten, but on the shoulders, I could only stand a six. There are three choices, massage, beat or knead. They all have a purpose. Adjust to your own tolerances. The speed + makes it happen more often, and speed - slows it down.

I have no idea what type of vibration this machine has but I believe it is dual. My chiropractor bought one for his mother for her osteoporosis and it helped her and her friends quite a lot. I seem to remember him saying something about it vibrating both ways. Sorry, I'm not technical, that's the best I can do.

This collar has 10 settings and only at the high settings would I say it gives a shock sorta speak, but it's more like a vibration, however we have been using this collar for a few months now and we have only needed to use the vibration mode maybe a dozen times and only set at level 2, never past that, the rest of the time we use the warning button....once our dog new the two things she responds right away to the warning so we almost never use the vibration button which is great! Hope that helps

Set per dog, but I have only had to use the vibration with my dogs. I would think you would only want to start at a low level.

There is only one vibration..I use it on my italian greyhound and rat terrier. Very mild. There is one shock button, along with a whistle and bird chirp. The only thing is that I would change is you have to remove batteries when not using it. There is no off button.Besides that for a small dog its handy.

I use the vibration mode for my 3 lb Chihuahua. Before I would use the electrical shock mode on any pet I would first try it on myself; it can burn if the setting is too high.
