What is the average range? Will it signal the dog no matter what position he is in if he is within the range?

Range is 200 - 300 feet. Will signal dog in every position, even in water. Is water proof. I do not use it that often anymore as it helped me to train my dog from running away. Worked very well.

The average range? Well I can say it works in my yard which is 75 feet to the fence edgeand it doesnt matter which position their in. we have two units one being the 550s and the other is the 350wone being waterproof, the other being water resistant. i hope this helps.

If we are in the house and the dog is out side it will reach about 100 ft pretty easy, but if we are outside with her it will reach half a city block easy. The collar must but pretty tight tho but our dog has fairly long hair.

Hi Christine! I've owned this product for about 5 months now and I love it. The average range is about 60 ft but have gotten up to 90. The dog can be in any position, including their back against you. Remeber to buzz first and then shock (i recommend a setting of 5 or 6 for a bigger dog). They'll yelp from being startled. I only had to use the stimulation 3 times on my dog after the buzzer. After that, the buzzer is enough to remind them. Now, i dont even use it anymore. I take her outsode without a leash and she is now a model dog. Hope this helps!

not exactly sure of the range, it was either 400 or 600 feet. And yes, it will work regardless of the dogs position. Love this collar, it has made quite a little lady out of our lab!

The range on the Marco Polo is not great but if you're within 1/2 mile or so, it will help. I live in the Midwest and it's pretty flat so I can't say whether it would work in these condtitions or not. It's not a perfect system but the arrow on the screen normally gets me moving in the right direction and the signal will get stronger as you approach your pet. Not a good as a GPS system but far less costly. Don't expect this to work as well as a $400 GPS system but there are not monthly fees with this and it's worked well when my dog took off in the woods chasing a deer and other times like this. For me it's been worth the $200 but it's not the perfect solution. The range on the Marco Polo is not great but if you're within 1/2 mile or so, it will help.

only supposed to detect 50lbs or more. you can position the motion detectors to make it pet friendly. we have just 1 panic button upstairs. your keychains also have a panic button. we have three of the keychain fab things. i have no idea of the range.

I sent mine back as the range was too short and the batteries don't last very long. I bought another Sport Dog model (can't remember which one) that has a longer range and can be recharged. A little more expensive but a much better unit and works really well. It will certainly get her attention and it does not take very long to change behaviour.

I have a Weimariner. Tall dog. He is next to it all the time. It won't activate unless there is a body part directly above the sensor. He would have to put his head over it. Mine is a food a holic and has never done this. I would say you will have no problems.

It wont hurt your dog. Just make sure you point the daser at the neighbors dog so the sound wave goes in that direction. The results will depend on distance of the dog, for me it works excellent from 20 - 30 feet, also what kind of dog your neighbor have. It works excellent on medium to large dogs and sometimes on small dogs.

I would not expect a problem since the sensor detects magnetic variances, I would ensure that there is at least 10 feet between the sensor and the cattle guard and ensure that the transmitter is positioned so the guard is not in between it and your receiver.

Sorry I have no idea how this unit sends/recieves signals between the collar and unit. I recently upgraded to the alpha 100 that has the shock and track in one collar. It's the best collar so far. I would look into that model as it is priceless for hunting and training. Have a nice day!! Aloha, Kalsey

The dog has to bark very close/near to the instrument for it to be activated. That was the problem ... unless the dog is super close, it's a worthless device.

I checked our toy Pomeranian on her stomach. Never got an accurate reading. It seemed to vary a little each time, but it would read. I'm not sure if it would work but I think it would

I only used the device to keep the dog from jumping on me, so it was always quite close. Sorry I can't help you with the range.

The range is 500 yards, and seems to reach farther if you are in an open field. It has seven levels, but I have never gone above a 2. The vibrate doesn't do much, but if you can train your dog on the beeps, that is the best way to use the collar.

I don't use it for motion, I actively use it to deter, but not as effective as sonic bark detector. As for setting it and if an animal comes into range it'll turn on, I think its a good theory, buy I don't think the technology it there yet. Also, you can hear the device, it's not quiet.

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

Yes, I think it will. He does use hand signals. I also think you should think about investing in an ecollar. I have a dogtra one, but there are many. I do not use the shock function, but do use the pager, or vibrate mode. It doesn't hurt at all, a bit like holding your vibrating mobile in your hand. It will enable you to get your puppy's attention though, and then give a command. Also look at Ty Brown's dog behaviour online. He also produces excellent DVDs, and one set is dedicated to e collar training.

I only see an immediate response when I point it directly at his head.The device seems to work well when the dog is standing in front ofme and less effective when the dog is running around. The batteriesshould be new and a good brand. I have started training other dogsto stay away from my dog by approaching these dogs alone. I use the device on them several times and they started avoiding us whenI walk my dog. It feels good to see them keeping a respectful distance.

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.
