is the collar always on? I need a collar that when I see my dog digging and chewing stuff I can warn then shock when I see her doing it.

The collars are switchable on so that when they are not being worn, they are not always on and saves battery. They are rechargeable so no worry about costly batteries. So as far as for training yes, you can have the collar always on when they are wearing it allowing you for the correction of bad behavior. These are very nice quality and we use ours daily since purchase for one of our dogs that never stops counter surfing.

You turn the colar on when you puy it on your dog & yes it stays on untill you push & hold the button for 5-10 seconds to turn it off. Yes it has a seperate warning beeping button, then the button to shock. This is a very high quality collar & works well.

Yes,the collar is always on.I charge it every other day.This thing is amazing.The problem I had with my dog was constant barking, now it's no longer a problem.

I don't always leave the collar on her, so I can't attest whether there is an automatic shutoff. However, there is a separate green button that will emit an audible alarm only. The yellow button will give a warning beeb followed by the correction shock. Over time, hopefully the dog will respond to solely the green button.

Yes, vibration only, beep only, or shock. Use the beep or vibration to warn of what's to come. They learn very fast. My dogs change behavior as soon as the collar is put on. Unfortunately the reverse is also true. Smart.

The collar works on vibration and sound together. There are some utube videos of people who put these things on their neck....Not adviseable to put it on your neck....If it is on your dog and the dog barks there should be a change in the dogs behavior after a few barks.....

What type of dog do you have and is the fur on his neck ollowing the pegs to touch his neck? If he just looks at you, you may try notching it up 5 settings at a time. I have my shitzu responding to the beep and have had no issues with it making contact when needing it. Also make sure its charged well and not laying on top of the dogs regular collar.hope that helps! Cindy

I'm not sure what you mean, exactly, are you planning to run the line to keep her in your yard when you are not home? Some dogs learn that the collar is what makes the difference, others don't ever figure it out. Honestly having it both ways is complicated and not something I would recommend.

I started with the vibrate only and moved up to 2 and on as necessary but only put it on when she barked so she would know the collar came on when she barked. Soon she just needed to wear it without turning it on or just show it to her and she would stop. Hope that helps

Hey Trish, my dog (a black lab) seems to respond more to the noise than the shock itself. If the noise does not work well for you dog try to put the shock to the highest to see if it works. Hopes this helps :D

No. The collar is remote control only. You probably wouldn't want it on for something like that anyway. What if there's an intruder? Shouldn't the dog bark for that? Collars require judicious training.

Once the dog gets the hang of it, I've found that I can set the collar to beep only (no shock) and it's still effective. I assume that extends the battery life because it doesn't have to charge / maintain the shock system. The real problem is dead batteries from a new package.

I really don't know as this has not been a problem with our two dogs. I would think that if the dog doesn't chew on the collar it wouldn't be a problem, but then I can't say for sure. Your best bet would be to contact the company and ask them this question. We keep the collars pretty snug on our dogs too.

My dog wears the collar all of the time and it works great. They cannot chew through it unless you have it on to loose.

Our rottweiler went through a phase where she would dig in her kennel. Our bedroom door is shut at night & is next to the room where we keep her kennel with the door shut, she was able to feel the collar through those doors...not sure if it would be the same as if they are outside, maybe on a higher lever as we had it on a 4 for her to feel it. I only had to do it once that night & once the night after & she has not done it since. Hope that helps!

I have found that for my dog, a male boxer, taking the collar off at times only confuses him. I extended his free area by adding an extra spool of line. He has quite a large area now. I tried taking his collar off a couple of times, but trust me, he figured it out! I would rather be safe, than sorry. Hope this helps?

Will collar vibrate if it's on the dog and owner is not using s remote control ? We try to teach our Shepard to sleep overnight outside at his nice kennel. So mostly for night use when he barks at the nature around. ThanKshatriyas.

My dog has a collar on all the time. I just put him in the seat and hook the strap on the seat to his collar. He's little so it works just fine, he loves his seat.

Can you tell me the type of dog it is. Also is this going to be a long term collar, if so I have a few other ideas and suggestions on collars that are better for long term.

Hi! The collar absolutely does not shock. It sends a minor vibration at the throat and there are two settings for the extent of the vibration- the lower settings gets the message across. Only negative is the battery did not last very long even tho the collar got minimum use and now it is out of use until I deal with finding g a replacement battery and those specialty items are pricey.
