will it work when the dog is in water, i.e. the pool? we want to train him to stay out of pool

The make similer models (delta upland) that are designed for hunting dogs/Bird dogs. They are in the water, swimming with the collars. the differance is that the upland moddel had a beeper and otjher things just for hunting. Same funtions as far as the stimulation. the delta should work just fine. Seek professonal instruction for best reults.

This is certainly a question for the manufacturer. There is no reason to trust the life of your dog or the collar to anyone but the authoritative source?

My dog fell in the pool earlier this summer and after fishing him out, I immediately removed the collar, dried it off and we had no problems. He also loves to play in dirt, roll in wet grass, etc. and we've had no issues. But that is the extent that we have tested out the "waterproof" feature. :)

im not 100 percent sure, if the pool is still and the dog kerplunks it probably would, it does have a bit of forgiveness and tolerance to it so im unsure at that weight

I apologize- we closed our pool 4 days ago. I could check in spring. I know 35 pounds will trigger it. My guess it will trigger if not initially then once dog starts swimming.

Actually, no. It might take them a bit of getting used to (and one of our dogs insists on immersing his entire face in the water) but they should catch on.

If you have this on firm enough, I do not believe your dog could get out of this and as long as this is larger then the opening your precious one tries to or actually does escape from, this ought to work. Good luck!

yes it will wet the dog. I don't think it is ment to be used as a training device.

If he is hell bent on getting out he will no matter what. My Boxers love it, I can even walk away and they don't try to get out but they like getting baths. It is however better setup for taller breeds so it should work better for you than for me. If he isn't used to baths or afraid of the tub introduce him slowly at his pace and you shouldn't have a problem.

Pretty much. My DOG isn't a swimmer but she's in and out of her kiddie pool. I usually reapply once or twice depending how long she's outdoors.

Yes, it most likely will. However, I wouldn't just suddenly go on a walk with him using only the collar. Instead, use the collar and a retractable leash if you have one. Decide on a relatively fixed distance away from you that you will start enforcing as the collar's "virtual leash distance", if you will. Whenever your dog approaches the edge of that imaginary circle, give him a little jolt and lock the leash to keep him from going any farther away to reinforce that set distance. If you do this consistently he will learn this behavior to an extent that the physical leash will not be necessary so you can get away with just using the collar Yes, it most likely will.

It's not even really nessesary to "train" them. They can smell the water and will teach themselves. But for extra measure, I put it on the cage and with them inside, make it drip once or twice with your finger on the roller ball. They will see the water drip and know right where to go.

I think it will, you just have to use it as soon as your dog tries to go over the wall. Its best to hide the can behind your back so when you spray it it will surprise your dog and snap its mind off of what there doing and they want to investigate where the sound came from. You have to be consistent some dogs are very stubborn so every time they go to do the unwanted behavior you have to use the spray. All dogs are different but I do think it could help you.

not an issue but some dogs can be a little intimidated by the sound and moving water; give them time and I suspect they'll come around; good luck

I am sure it could help train a dog to stop bad habits. It makes a high pitch sound, getting the dogs attention and causes them to stay back. Maybe if your dog does something that your training not to do, just say no, then a quick click on this tool and eventually your pet will understand that it is not okay. It is worth a try. I think it works great!

I think ours got wet even though their water proof. There's a little tiny plug that has to be in and it's easy to forget about it. This collar is good for training your dogs close range. Walking, not getting too excited, jumping on people etc... Our dogs were getting loose and these collars didn't help. No range.

It keeps my dog out of the pool (a medium-sized poodle mix), but if you have a particularly large or determined dog, they might make it thru. ;)

Yes it will work. Seem to always go off when my 3 year old throws rocks in the pool :) It was very sensitive.
