Does this collar shock or just vibrate?I need to know cause vibrate doesn't work on my pup

It does both, but never at the same time. If you're holding the remote looking right at it, the button on the side makes the collar unit "beep" so as to locate your pup without shocking him/her (but it's not very audible, almost useless); the remote will have 2 soft buttons on the front, the smooth button is to SHOCK your pup and the button with a little bump on it is to make the collar vibrate and the intensity is assigned with the level wheel.

It has both vibrate and static correct (shock). The numbers are the static correction

It shocks and vibrates. I love it. My dog is very hyper the minute I put it on my dog he is a totally different dog.

I am sorry that I don't know. I looked on the collar for a number without luck. I think it is vibration as you must have the "box" on their throat area for it to work. Hope that helps.

I vibrate for come and if no response then nick. This collar has trained my 9 month old Pit Mix so well that I rarely have to use more than vibrate!

The "shock" is the static/vibration. Great product and it allows for a warning beep for training. You just have to train your dog correctly using it and may only have to use the static correction a few times. It doesn't hurt it just gets the dogs attention when you aren't able to reach out to touch them. Believe me, I had to try it on myself before putting it on my dog!

I only nick/vibrate when the dog is doing something wrong or is in a bolt after something and didn't respond to the tone. I taught my dog to respond to calling her name followed by the side tone button and then giving her a reward. I no longer need to reward her and she usually comes when I call her name but will always come when I press the tone even if I don't call her name.

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!

,..Also, the up and down buttons on the unit only adjust the collars sensitivity to the bark. The owner is able to adjust this because sometimes general sounds will set off the collar (it will beep.) For instance, closing my car door while the dog is in the car will set off the unit. It doesn't administer a shock, only the first of 2 warning beeps. People that live in a noisier environment will probably want the collar at a higher setting, meaning fewer external sounds will set it off. You just have to expirament with it which is very easy to do. Hope that helps.

There are 3 levels. Darla, the 2 other responses to this question aren't correct. It worked fine for me. I am training a young pit mix, and have only had to use shock a few times. She is now responding to vibrate.

Hi. The unit we have makes a sound that warns the dog he is doing something wrong. It is a separate button totally. The sound can be increased also. The shock button is totally separate from the sound button and can also be adjusted to a higher # if needed. It has been a HUGE help to us with our Malamute and has helped in her training. Our daughter has a Lab/Newfie mix and they have had excellent results with their collar also. Highly recommend it. Good luck. Sue

This collar works off of vibration from the dog's vocal chords that it receives by being pressed against the dog's neck. It does not have a microphone that listens for a bark like other collars. Mine has never been triggered by another dog barking, a loud noise, or a thunderstorm. They provide a "tester" which is a serrated piece of plastic that goes over the vibration sensor. You scrape something across the tester to trigger the collar's response. The collar actually has to "feel" a vibration, and sound waves aren't enough to vibrate the collar, whereas being against your dog's neck when it barks will vibrate the collar.

Yes. The collar will shock or vibrate with whining. Our dog whimpers as well as barks and on the 3 or 4 setting everything gets him. He is a 30 lb corgi husky mix.

It depends on how many times you use it. With my Shepherd I only had to use the shock feature a couple of times. After that I set the unit for vibrate. Now, when the collar vibrates she stops whatever behavior she is doing immediately. Generally, using the collar a few times a day, the collar's charge lasts for a few weeks.

I have not discovered a vibration and neither has my dog. That being said, the "nick" on low power does not cause the dog any noticeable discomfort but doesserve as a warning. I have used the collar for about a month and I seldom have to "stimulate" any more. I would not worry about the pager. This is my secondcollar and it is far superior to the product I attempted to use before. Hope this was helpful.

you should have no problem, I have slightly larger dogs, but I only use it to vibrate, not shock. You should try it on yourself to see how the shock works. I have had to change the collar that came with it because my dog ate the first one... once my dog knew what it is, he only needs to see it to cower. I don't keep it on him.

Hey Trish, my dog (a black lab) seems to respond more to the noise than the shock itself. If the noise does not work well for you dog try to put the shock to the highest to see if it works. Hopes this helps :D

This shock collar doesn't work at all. I not only returned it but notified Amazon. Their was no charging location on the collar part though the picture showed one. The menu screen never came on after charging it. Nothing worked. Suggest a different collar.

Just one level of vibration. If you have the collar on correctly, the one level works just fine.
