Expandable up to 6 dogs? Can you shock them all from the same remote? Cannot find any info on this.

Yes, but once you get past 2 dogs you start losing other functions like the ability to vibrate or beep. I think you can download a pdf manual on the sportdog website to get the specific trade offs. Essentially when you get to 6 I believe you have 3 buttons one each for 3 different dogs then the toggle to switch to 3 other dogs for those buttons.

What legendsngray said. I use on two dogs using toggle switch. I prefer the vibrate function as my dogs rarely need to be nicked but I think you lose functionality options if you have more than 2 dogs. PDF of manual is at manufacturer website.

If you want to train dogs, this is great device. If you want to "Shock" them, you should have neither this device OR a dog.

I can't answer that question I have 2 dogs with collars and I can control them from one remote

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.

No each set of collars seems to work on different wave length. I have five little yappers and four of them, young ones, wear the collars. I have to use two different controls for them. Thank the lord I marked the collars to match the controllers or some one would be corrected when they were innocent. The number five dog is to old to change.

You can buy a second transmitter. Kind of expensive but worth it.We have 2 transmitters with 3 dogs on them. We keep 1 transmitter near our bedroom window on the south end of the house. The other transmitter is in the north end of our detached garage, which has them well over 100 feet apart. Having 2 transmitters gives our dogs a HUGE area to roam in. :)

It is for two dogs. It works fine, but by the time I grab the remote and turn the collars on with the remote, the moment has passed. The collars turn off way too soon in order to save the batteries. I found that a good industrial strength squirt bottle works a lot better.

I don't know; however, I would not try to take the remote apart because you may break it. The the collar is suppose to be a training tool not a controller. Use your voice to train your dog and only hit the vibrate if the dog does not listen. I agree with pun mihok, take the batteries out and work with your dog.

There is not to my knowledge a way to trigger the PetSafe receiver with a remote. I use the PetSafe unit as boundary containment for my dog. I also have on her same collar a second box that allows sound and electric stimulant for training and correction.

You can add any number of collars. The signal that stimulates the collar(s) to deliver a shock is not affected by the number of collars, i.e., there is no power drain from signaling multiple collars.

Yes you can! I used this on my Chihuahua, and it worked great. There are two levels of vibrations and you control duration. This startles them and stops the behavior. I wouldn't use the shock feature because of the size of dog. This should work for you, good luck!

The extra transmitter will increase the distance. I'm not sure how much distance that the transmitters have to be separated. I have a transmitter at my house and my mother in law has one at her house. My dog has lots of room to run.

Unit works with my two larger dogs (boxers) within 10 feet. However it has no effect on our Morkie. We use this near the front door to help quite the dogs when visitors come. This is our second unit, first one was destroyed by a kid and we felt it worked enough to warrant a replacement. Good Luck.

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.

you should have no problem, I have slightly larger dogs, but I only use it to vibrate, not shock. You should try it on yourself to see how the shock works. I have had to change the collar that came with it because my dog ate the first one... once my dog knew what it is, he only needs to see it to cower. I don't keep it on him.

You can get the corresponding remote system from SportDog (see their website) for relatively cheap, which you can connect to multiple collars.

Yes, you can extend the range with additional transmitters. We use it on 27 acres. But keep in mind that the range of EACH transmitter is only about 90 feet max. from the center of the transmitter (radius) in a circular pattern (180 feet diameter). To get a larger range you must use more transmitters in an overlapping pattern and on different locations. Keep in mind each unit requires an electrical outlet. We use one in the front, back and both sides of the house, mounted under the roof overhang in a dry location. Best would be inside near a window since the units are not moisture proof but you limited range depending on the construction of your house (brick, rocks, metal roof or siding, trees). With more transmitters our 3 dogs can roam happily around the house. They learned very quickly and stop now even short of the range selected on the transmitters.

I forgot to say this has worked very well for my dogs. They were shocked once and now leave it alone. I usually have it off. I don't know about larger animals.
