A friend has a collar with a setting that will shock each time the dog barks. Does this collar have this setting?

No, the collar has no automatic response to a dog's bark or actions. For whatever the correction might be, the remote must be used to activate the collar. Barking is not a problem in my case so I'm not certain, but I suppose you would have to leave the collar on and hit the remote when the barking starts. However, the manual warns that you cannot leave the collar on indefinitely as it will irritate the dog's neck. Hope this helps.

No. It has to be a noticeable bark. And even the first few barks are just warning beeps, not shocks

I have multiple dogs as well and the other dogs barking do not set the collar off only the dog wearing it will set it off.

I have not used it for that reason however this collar has changed the response time I have with my canine mix. No matter what she is doing, she turns her attention to me once I sound the buzzer. Best of luck to you.

I wish I knew which is newer, but I don't. As for the beep, I don't think mine does, but with my hearing loss (about 50% overall, and most of my high-frequency) it might. If you mean a beep at the collar, I don't think mine do that. They will either vibrate or shock. I have been a bit disappointed in my units, in terms of their range. The dogs have to be closer to the sending unit than the instructions would have you believe. Hope this helps.

I seriously doubt it. The feature that I liked about the collar is that it gives a warning before it shocks. kThus my Pointer has learned that she can get away with one bark without being shocked. If she persists, then she gets shocked. The collar is activated by vibration. The collar is a great one, and I recommend it, but you might be better off with one that you trigger when the irritating activity occurs.

,..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.

NO it will not distinguish the bark of the wearer and other dogs. I have five dogs and when the collar is placed on one dog and another dog barks the one wearing the collar will be shocked. Some loud noises will set the collar off. One experience with my dog was when a storm was coming through and thunder set the collar off.

The collar is automatic. The nice thing about it is the collar needs both the vibration from the vocal chords/neck area combined with the sound of the bark before it sends the signal so if you have other dogs it won't go off by just hearing their bark.

To add to the other comments, there are 2 dials within the chamber for adjustments. The "shocking" option can be turned off and you can just use the "beeping" option. My rescue dog learned very quickly, so I was able to turn the "shocking" option off. Just putting the collar on was enough to teach my dog not to bark. Each time the collar was put on, my dog would walk around with one of his soft toys in his mouth all day long to prevent himself from barking. I am really impressed at how creative my dog is, and how he learned that he needed to correct a behavior. To add to the other comments, there are 2 dials within the chamber for adjustments.

Some shock collars allow the user to set the intensity of the shock the dog receives. This is not that kind of collar. With this one, the dog controls the intensity of the shock. It starts out at the lowest level, and increases until the barking stops. If you want to test it, press the probes against your throat and make a barking noise.

Yes. The buzzer/collar reciever as these two prongs which screw into the reciever and lay on the neck so the dog can feel the vibration, or shock. There are two sizes. One small and one large.

No, it has a #1 and #2 setting. You can choose which collar you shock at any given time...

No, this is not a bark collar. You have to hit the button to engage the collar.

Not that I noticed. The collar was pretty useless with our dog. She was surprised the first few times and then nothing. She didn't seem to mind it and she continued to bark. She is a Sheppard/Bloodhound - born to bark.

I do not know, I returned it as it does not know if your dog is barking or screaming in pain from the shock so it keeps on shocking, so the dog keeps on screaming , so I had to take it off the dog STAT!!! DID NOT WORK FOR MY DOG......

Yes, vibration only, beep only, or shock. Use the beep or vibration to warn of what's to come. They learn very fast. My dogs change behavior as soon as the collar is put on. Unfortunately the reverse is also true. Smart.
