Can it be put near the top of a cement way on the other side of which are the barking dogs? And once it's there is it only activated by remote?

My neighbor's dogs ignored it completely. I put mine back in the box and returned it.

It can be operated my remote or by noise my dog could care less about it no matter where I set the frequency maybe you can have better luck the back comes off and has two holes to be attached to what even.

It can be mounted anywhere with the right hardware. The dogs will become immune 2 it over a period of time. It can be operated my remote or be switched to automatic.

Yes, as long as the dog is within the range of the remote. I believe our range is 300 feet. Most of the time it only takes the beep signal to make the dog respond once they have been trained. We are on our second collar, the first one lasted 5 years, and we love it!

it seems to work when the dogs bark. we have two and the one closest to the street sometimes is set off by passing louder vehicles. since I can't hear the frequency, I don't know if it activates more than it should.

We had the unit set up facing our garden and it kept all animals out. It is annoyingly noisy and at night it flashes a light off and on so consider that in a yard application.

The barking stops as soon as there is no motion detected. There is capability to manually set it. The setting remain when power is turnoff and then on. I use a WeMo switch to remotely turn in on and off. However this works only if you do not install batteries. Hope this helps.

Yes it can be reduced to a very small area. The PetSafe company has a video online that explains it very well and how to test the exact distance you have set by changing the dial on the transmitter. Some friends of mine take it camping ( when an electric outlet is available) to contain their dog within their campsite. Main thing to remember that the broadcast area is round. Also follow instructions on training your pet to understand the system which is also on the afforementioned PetSafe video.Hope that helps.

I have mine in the family room and it has to go through a brick wall that surrounds the patio as well. Once in awhile it does not go off. But other than that it works great. But it should work if its not to far from the transmitter.

Only activates when the broom is in direct contact. It doesn't "gather" the dirt/hair, but merely "inhales" it, when prompted. I wouldn't place it directly by the dog's crate. The noise would probably scare most dogs.

I can activate this from around 5oo ft. I can also activate it when I am standing on the back deck and he is in the front of the house.

It is made for outdoor use only....I tried it in the house and it would go off at TV noises. It terrified my Chihuahu and Pom, so it is for outdoors.I hang it on the fence. It is not out now because we have been 3, 5 10 15 degree weather and it may effect the battery. In the mean time the Pom is barking all the time he is out!!

I sent the thing back. It didn't work at all from a distance of 40 feet. My best advice in dealing with barking dogs is call the police. There are laws concerning this behavior.

Probably... but that isn't a bad thing since if it were a real dog your cat would probably set him/her off too. Ours is situated in an area and when we pass it barks, but I don'[t mind since a real dog might too. If you put it where your animal doesn't go then it should not be an issue..there is a limit to the range. Also I saw where someone put a metal plate behind it so it would not pick up movement inside their house. That's an option.

I havnt thought of that. But I can see that working.I don't have any way to do that with my so I'm going to get another one to expand my space. And my dogs love it. . It gets them outdoors. The only problem I have is a way to secure it to the ground. Glad to help you out. Nickie

it has an automatic bark feature. You have to press the button on the remote to activate it. When we turned ours on it shocked the dog all the time even she was not barking so I sent this POS back.

You can use multiple "home bases". Position them so that the boundaries overlap by 5-10 feet. Each one will only have it's own maximum radius, but as the collar enters another "zone", it will pick up the transmitter from that new base station.

Hi Zach. It does but goes dormant after ( which seems to defeat the purpose) and you have to push the button to reactivate it. We ended up returning it because the bark feature is only semi automated.
