Is there an online training for this collar? The booklet doesn't seem clear on the training, such as how to train with the beep.

Hi. If you search for the item on Youtube, you will find plenty of training and instructional videos. Hope this was helpful. Have a great day!

I don't believe the collar has that function, it pretty much just works the intensity. The control box does however have that setting. There three settings on the box. 1. Beep. 2. Beep/shock. And 3. Shock only.

I always give my dog a moment to respond to my voice command. If no response, I use the beep/vibrate. If he still does not respond, I use the shock. If he starts to respond, but gets distracted, I give him another chance with just a beep/vibrate. Always start with the voice command because that is ultimately what you want him to obey just in case he is ever without the collar. Once you shock your dog a couple times during the training phase, you will rarely need to use it. I have a very stubborn beagle, but he almost always responds to the beep because he knows what is going to come next if he doesn't. I always give my dog a moment to respond to my voice command.

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.

I'm finding the same thing. Our dog will be running around and we can repeatedly press the button and nothing happens. The light on the remote will be on, but because the dog is running around, I can't see if the collar light is on. (We know it's not activating because we're close enough the hear the vibration, and the dog has specific behavior when it goes off (like he startles and stops what he's doing). Then the next time is will work. I have a second remote in my shopping cart because we need two of them, but I'm not sure if I should delete it and return this one.

It is helpful for barking. You would have to use the button to train your dog, so I would think you may want to seek another method to train your dog because it won't activate the noise unless they bark while nipping.

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar.Good luck!

I don't think it is a good option for you. I used it on my border collie who does a lot of the low barking. It lets the dog bark once or twice before correcting them and as a result, my dog didn't actually learn anything from the device. I actually plan on trying either the dogtra or sport dog bark collar. I've seen them used and they are a lot more accurate in their corrections and can learn from the dog and choose the appropriate correction. This collar is pretty low tech in that department. Good luck and remember, you have 30 days to return it if you aren't happy!

Sounds like a defective collar or transmitter. It should have 4 modes - shock, vibrate, beep and light - each doing that mode only. If it vibrates in both vibrate mode and beep mode, it must be defective.

It depends on how stuborn it is. I start low and work your way up. Sometimes it is necessary to to turn it all the way up and really let them have it at full power. Normally with my very large 87 pound 6 month old dog,I use it on 4. This not necessary all the time, but most of the time, just because he is big and tough. Now that I have him pretty well traind to stay in his area, etc. sometimes I just use the beeper, but is still needed on higher settings at times just to remind him who is boss. Never abuse the power. My dog has never been afraid of the collor, and it is easy to put it on after charging. He hears the beep when I turn it on and comes to sit down, so I can put his collor on.

It can be. It is preset at the factory on level 2. They feel a little tiny jolt. No screaming or anything likehat. It can however be a shock collar if dialed up high enough. I had to use a higher setting when my dog...( he's 75 lbs) got out of the yard and ran like a maniac. He would not come back on command. So rather than have him get run over in the street the collar literally saved his life. He gave a little yelp turned around and ran back to his yard. This in itself was a miracle. It has proved to be a very good investment. his is not a cruel collar just a training collar. I just use the beep and he responds now. Hope this helped. It can be.

You need to make sure you know what or Who is wearing which. They do have different frequency. It is up to you to know If you have an obedient dog he should not be wearing one. I have use shock training with all mydogs they seemed to learn fast. I only have to show the remote now no need to push buttons

The collar emits a very weak sound can only be heard approaching the ear. Be careful to do it may be shocked. The dog listens well that sound. My dog is wearing the collar for over a year and it works perfectly. It is imperative to training the dog as the manufacturer instruction. It is long and tiring but it is very important to do it well.

Hello -- the video and command collar, etc. are tools and like any tool it takes time to develop skill -- using the command collar 24/7 and correcting bad behavior constantly and effectively (amount of correction measured to bad behavior) will teach your dog what not to do -- dogs are smarter than most give them credit - affection and cortrecyion (with love) is the key and this set is a good start. Hope this helps -- Gratitude, Bob

Usually I hit the beep button twice then it works. Make sure the collar is set to the right channel too if yours has three like mine does. Hope that helps.

not sure but think its to change the contacts with - not a word in the quarter page of instruction! By the way, they are doing amazingly good job of nearly stopping the barking. Don't think either has gotten a shock since the second day.

This video introduced me to clicker training. Zak George (the trainer) explains it REALLY well and there are lots of video's on his channel to help you train your puppy with specific tricks, etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPDOrEEsAJ8
