Has anyone used this for its leash feature? I'm trying to find something that will alarm when leave my wallet sitting somewhere and walk away.

This will work great but only if your phone stays with your wallet at home and work otherwise be prepared for a bunch of false alarms when you go into another room with your phone but not your wallet.

I cannot find any kind of a hook to clip a leash on mine. If that's important to you, you might want to try the Kurgo (I was pretty happy with that one - though the pockets aren't as roomy and it's all one piece). FWIW, my dog pulls a lot and I found a pinch collar works pretty well. Believe it or not, combined with a retractable leash, he's much more manageable. He has more freedom and responds better to the pinch collar. I know that's not the "proper" way to walk a dog, but I'm happy if I can walk him without getting sore arms!

Dash, I believe it would STOP just like if a person was in it when it was given a jerk. It doesn't really even move the belt or 'give' when the dog walks around. It's pretty secure. In fact, it's SO secure that it's really hard to take it off to move it to a different car. The velcro is like glue. I trust it completely.

I carried mine in my pocket everyday, untill It got packed up during a recent move ( I ordered another one cuz I hate going without it, it should arrive tomorrow). there were a couple instances where it turned on in my pocket but there is a very audible click so I've known everytime it's happened.

None. That's a bit of an issue, but I'd rather react instantly. You do have a minute or to ( I forget) after you arm it to walk away. Good device, inexpensive and works.

yes, I use it also in a pack and play when I am traveling and there is no problem at all, it can still detect movement. I did however had to reduce the sensibility so it would not start the alarm all the time.

Yes! that's what I do and it's been a big help. It has worked for a few months now i think. The wallet being in highly muffling things like coats can both block the signal and muffle the beep, but generally it works.

I have a LARGE dog - and it does go off when I have my dog out on my patio (where I have the unit). I have to block it while he is out there. It is sensitive, but NOT too much so. Haven't had any 'false' rings.

If once you lock the trailer there won't be any chance of it accidentally going off, I'd say this is a good application. The only thing that I think about is what I would do at home. I wouldn't leave it directly in front of my front door, as the mailman puts mail through the slot. I wouldn't want that to accidentally set off the alarm (it IS loud!). But if you have a good spot for it in your trailer, this should work.

I would just attach your whole thing to your leash. then when you need a bag pull one out. When you're done un attach till the next walk. hope it helps.

I think this would be excellent for that! The tracking monitor does need to be held out level when you're actually using it to track so you probably wouldn't want to use it to continuously keep track of your dog as you hike, but it would be very easy to keep the monitor in your pack and pull it out if you lose sight of your dog and need to find her. You could even keep the monitor turned on in your pack and set it to alarm if your dog roams further from you than you would like.

I haven't bought it but was wondering the same thing . no matter what you attach a gopro to, always put a " leash " on it. Cord from camera to mount, to object you are mounting to as a safety back up

I have used this pack and nothing seems to move around. There is little room for phone, keys, money etc. It sticks out too far from your body for me. I'm not entirely happy with it, but I haven't been able to find one I like either. Good Luck.

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

The alarm is rather loud so it should wake up a sleepwalker if he/she gets out of bed as long as the monitor is nearby or next to the sleepwalker. It won't go off if you turn over. It should be positioned under the upper-mid part of your back so that the most weight is on it. It will go off if you lift off of the pad but turning over doesn't seem to be an issue. Not sure about your dog but if the pad is mostly under your back, your dog shouldn't set it off.

Hi Barb! I have unfortunately had to us this a few times...I try to bring it with me every time I walk my dog and I live in a very rural area. However some people do not obey the leash law our town has with dogs. On a few different occasions my dog and I were approached by dogs that were "loose" and unaccompanied by an adult...WELL...my HALT came in very useful! The dogs retreated away from us... and we were able to not be harmed in what could have been an ugly situation. I hope this helps you! :)

No, it doesn't work 'on demand'. If you want to go out, just carefully slide the blades out of the door casing, being careful to hold the blades together to avoid the piercing alarm sound, and just slide the two flat blades back into their place on the alarm itself. You could keep the very small plastic band that comes around the blades and use it to secure them when not in use but the band is almost too small to keep track of. We take Doberman with us every time we travel. Good for when someone is at home also. Enjoy the Doberman!
