Will this collar work when the dog is growling?

Yes it'll work if the dog is growling. The collar works when it senses vibration. Our dog is very vocal, but more wining that growling and sometimes the collar wouldn't quite pick up on the wining.

I bought this to stop my next door neighbors dogs from barking and it seems to work. When they start barking I just walk over to the fence and raise my arm up over the fence and push the button and they stop barking. So it may work for you but I guess it depends on the dog etc. on how well.

The collar is adjustable so it should but would only keep it on level one.. scares the poop out of my 30 pound puggle on two.. so be careful..

CAUTION! If your dog is aggressive, correcting the dog with this type of collar can ramp up the aggression. Be careful, and please work with a trainer.

Not sure which collar you are referencing as I only used the Big Dog Bark Control Collar, with which we were very pleased. Since your dog is basically a large dog, like our dobie, I would think your dog may respond well to it. Good luck!

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 not used it for that reason however this collar has changed the response time I have with my canine mix. No matter what she is doing, she turns her attention to me once I sound the buzzer. Best of luck to you.

I understand. I would also like a remote shock collar for training. However, this collar is only for barking. It is activated by sound and not by a remote. This would not help you with a stubborn dog.

It will help with howling but not whining/wimpering. If the dog is more than 30 to 40 feet away from the unit, it might not work. If nothing else, the dog will probably avoid that area but still bark on the other side of the yard.

They work great as long as the collar is on the dog. Once the collar is removed the dog will go about his business as usual. Unless you need the dog to not bark at a specific time the collar needs to be worn constantly which isn't advised by the manufacturer. My dogs won't bark when they have the collar on but bark as normal with it off. Hope that helps.

It probably wont, plus, this collar needs the owner to be present at the time of barking to press a button to send either vibration or electric shock. It does not have a bark sensor to automatically shock the dog.

I doubt it will help with the whining, as my Giant Schnauzer whines while wearing his! almost WORSE then when he barked!!! Maybe a remote control shock collar would work, that you could use when he whines.

The collar never went off for whining & whimpering. However, I never set the sensitivity level at a high level as the lower range did the job well for barking.

I used the system to keep my dog from bolting after critters and running out of sight. I now just have to give the warning button and almost never the actual shock. As stated, you would have to have the collar on the dog all the time and watch all the time until the dog associates the bad behavior with the Shock. It should work but it takes some dedication on your part.

It works if the "collar" stays in the right place. It only worked sometimes on our 9lb toy fox terrier. We returned it.

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.

Yes! Once you understand how it works. We had a week to get use to it after having a different brand for many years that broke and was repaired by myself.Yes. It works great! the Dog hears the "signal" much better than the old collar we had! 105 lb. dog...no problem!
