Does the static correction automatically time out after a certain period of time so that my dog won't get zapped indefinitely?

It doesn't really time out, you set the amount of feet you want the perimeter set at. For example, a 15 would be 15 feet from the line to the inside of your yard and 15 feet to the outside of your yard. So it stops shocking once they hit the 15 feet mark which makes them unfortunately apprehensive to come back so it's not foolproof.

Tara, some dogs need more work. I walked with my dog (Boston Terrier) to the distance from the wire. Had him hear the tone and pulled/command him to come. Few days later increased to mild correction. I accidentally set it to high which caused him run scarred and shaky. This is all on the leash still for week or so. After few week s he was fine. I hope this helped. I love this product. I have mine on the second shock correction at this time.

the dog doesn't get in the house with no correction. the correction comes when the dog moves past a certain distance from the controler. if the controller is set a 100 ft and the dogs moves close to or past that it is warned and then shocked. the dog can come as close to the controller as possible. the device is designed to keep the dog from leaving the perimeter.

I am assuming that "Guardian" is a different manufacturer, and if so it is unlikely that they operate on the same frequency. Try contacting PetSafe's customer service. They were very helpful to me when I installed our system, and I'm sure that they can give you a definite answer.

Yes, another dog barking can and will trigger the correction. In fact, if you lean to close to your dog and talk to him it can trigger it. It is very sensitive. Not sure about the weatherproof capabilities, my dog only wears it briefly. The prongs are about a half inch, but are mostly coated in rubber except for the tips. I like the the unit for what I need it for (driving in the car my dog would screech like a banshee when he got excited, which would lead to him attacking the other dogs, so this keeps him in check) hope this helps!

There are 3 buttons on the remote. One on the side and two on the face. The button on the side is tone (beep) only. It is to get the dogs attention. If that does not work the top button on the face is a static (shock) application that will give a short burst and a beep. The lower button, which I have never needed to use, is a 3 second static shock. I have shocked my dog maybe twice and then only used the tone ,side, button after that. Once I put that collar on my jack Russell his whole attitude changes. Extremely effective if used responsibly. I shocked myself before I ever put it on my dog to get the right level established. Hope this helps.

In short, yes. If you have set it for 10 minutes, you can stop it or it can buzz and the time automatically resets to the 10 minutes previously set for another round. This is a great little timer.

Yes. Open the cover on your dog fence unit and look for a switch that will be either set on 7K or 10K. That is the frequency setting for your system. You need the matching collar (obviously). The unit to which I refer is usually a grey box that plugs into the outlet and has the underground wires running to it. It usually is held on with just clips. If you want to unplug the unit while you open the cover it isn't going to hurt anything and will give you piece of mind on not getting zapped (from the electricity not the collar).

Yes and no. When the battery ran out, the dogs still avoided the area for a few weeks. However, they soon learned that they no longer got zapped and it was ineffective again. This is probably something you'll have to continually use.

Yes, there is a Bark Correction Mode. I haven't tried it (my dog isn't a barker), but guide says the device activates a stimulation when the dog barks, starts at lowest level of intensity and increases based on the dog's barking behavior. Only available in the Delta Sport Model.

No, the shock is always the same. You can adjust the strength of the signal, which means how far from the wire the signal reaches. But the shock is the same, the manual says so. I have two big dogs and both got shocked only one time, that was enough for them to know, that as soon as the beeping starts, they should back off the fence. I have had it for almost a year now, still works and have had no issues with it at all! It's a good buy.

As you may know, there is a new model nearly ready for release, so this may change at that time, but for now as long as your dog is away from the base station (beyond the "close to base" area) you can simply restart the tracking command from your cellphone and it will work for another 15 minutes or until your dog (or at least the collar) re-enters the safe zone

My dog stops his activity that is undesirable when we use negative. With a short burst of a positive command his ears pick up but no alarmed behavior. I actually use the positive in a short burst to call him back in from outside.

There is a delay on the transmitter which is adjustable to either 10 seconds or 120 seconds. The units are all sent out defaulted to 10 seconds. It is not possible to have no delay.

The only times we have actually pressed the trigger is when the dogs are outside barking. Once they hear it they freeze and get real quiet. But the only time a living person actually got zapped was when my son tried it on himself just to see how well it works. It seemed pretty effective to him!

If your static is due to a ground loop issue, this will resolve the issue. I would say that it is likely to fix the problem or at least make it better.

I have not had an issue with that, and the dog we are using the DAP collar with has been wearing one for ten months now. I realize every dog is different, but I would definitely check your Vet.
