Do you think this would work on a harness rather than a collar to open the dish? Or are the sensors too weak?

Yes, I think it would work on a harness if the sensor (fob) were worn at collar level.

I doubt it. We sewed the sensor onto a collar so it would stay right in front of the sensor and still had no luck.

There seem to be a lot of variables that affect how the tag and sensor work together. I don't know whether the sensor is too weak or if it merely requires that the sensor and the tag be well-aligned because the sensor beam is too narrow. I also don't know how tall your pet is. I recommend calling the manufacturer to see if someone there can help you.

Too weak. I really do not understand why they made such weak sensors on the bowl. I put two of these on the collar which helps some.

I bought an additional collar to use with my system and it synced with the remote with no problems. So if your remote is working you should be able to do it.

It should work but will be weaker wire. Also depends on the distance your covering. Your just sending a radio signal that the collar responds to through the wire

I've never used a harness so I don't know whether it would work or not, but there definitely isn't any sort of slit or hole in the top of the vest. I use the vest with a collar. So if the ring to attach to a leash on your harness isn't positioned much differently than what is needed to attach to a regular collar, this vest may work for you. As someone else mentioned, the neck opening does sit back far enough that it seems like it ought to work. On the other hand, if the ring on your harness is in a completely different place than that for a typical collar, the vest may not work for you.

i tried it and it would not work the receiver box is programed to point the dish

It cannot be configured, but I have two dogs (under 20lbs) and they do not set off the sensors. However, my sensors are put at about shoulder height and the sensors may be more sensitive to animals if they are positioned lower.

it's not a weight sensor - cats and dogs "move", so why would you think they might not trigger it?

I have a Dogtra system but any system should work. The different systems can't tell what kind of wire is sending the signal to the collar.

I am not able to answer that question regarding a pet. We placed our sensor above a door. The sensor still pick of movement from the door. So, I would assume, that a large pet might also activate the sensor.

I don't think this would be the right product. Someone has to use the remote to trigger the warning vibration or shock-- and would have to be paying attention at all times. It sounds like you might want the an invisible fence and the collar that goes with that. I don't know anything about those though. Good luck.

It should work because it senses motion, glass is transparent like the cover over the sensor. Good luck.

As long as you have an active receiver and the dish is pointed in the right direction it should work.

Ooooh. I don't know since I only have one. But you would think that the remote control would be calibrated to the specific collar. Good luck.

I used it as an E-collar replacement. With a bit of effort, I was able to make it work. While I can't say for sure about your invisible fence application, it seems that most of these collars are similar.

We attach it to a harness just because we feel a harness is more comfortable for our dog. I would think you could attach it to a regular dog collar too.

Mounting should not be a problem since it will use screws, tape or magnets. The problem may be activating it. There has to be movement over the sensor to turn it on. I suppose it could be mounted close to the entrance and wave your hand over it. Unless the door or a movement turns it on you may have better luck with a tap light.

I have not used the harness as a safety device for the car. It sounds like a good idea and I can see how it might work. If the harness is Not properly fitted on your pet they can wiggle out of the harness I still think the safetest method for traveling with a pet is a crate. Good Luck I hope this helps with your question.
