All answers seem ambiguous for my question... which is... can you actually send a shock directly to the dog from the remote?
1088722
Yes you can but be careful who you buy from because the one I received was not the one in the picture. The collar I have does sound, vibration and shock it works great but it is not rechargeable like the description said.
1088723
The remote allow you to send a sound, a buzz or a SHOCK directly to the dog's collar.
1088724
Yes. There is a control where you can set the amount of shock that you give the dog. And there is also as previously described a bell like sound, and a vibration. I ordered the one where you just add batteries and nothing was said about it being rechargeable which I wasn't looking for anyway.
1088725
Yes. There are 3 modes. One is a audible beep, one is vibration which can be adjusted from 1 to 100 and the other mode is a shock from 1 to 100 there are 2 sets of probes for the shock. 1 for long haired dogs and shorter ones. The probes are not sharp pointed , but touch the skin .

it's all done by remote. I used to use a bark control collar a while ago and I didn't like it because it was hard to tell how powerful the zap was because it increases in power if the dog continues to bark and I prefer to know how every level feels on the collars I use. I think this collar can sit in that training, you will just have to be vigilant and use the controls at the right time. I would personally use the collar as a distraction technique to get the dog to stop barking.

Yes. Set the remote on dog 1 and turn on one shock collar. Make sure it beeps and is paired with dog 1. Next, change the remote to dog 2 then turn on shock collar two. Check to see if it beeps when dog 2 is selected. I marked the collars with a sharpie so I always pair the collars with the same frequency each time. I also use the same collar on a particular dog every time to help me not to shock the wrong dog. Very good product.

I'm a professional dog trainer, the answer is yes, your dog will experience a shock as well and you'll probably incite the attacking dog even more. Best thing to do in this scenario is to mace the attacking dog.

The collar has 3 levels of intensity plus the audio only. I have heard some say that large dogs aren't effected by the shock but I would guess they don't have the collar tight enough. One of our dogs will respond to the audio only and the other at the lowest setting.

I use the spray to control my dog from barking. The spray mechanism is activated by his bark. I don't see how it would work unless you have a remote that you control manually until the dog understands his limits. I do believe the citronella spray is more humane than the shock collars. I have tried both and had more success with the spray.

It has the tone button to give a warning and the button below it delivers the shock.It works great. Usually I only have to show the remote to my dog and he stops the bad behavior.

No. I actually did a lot of research trying to find a "remote controlled bark collar" and it doesn't seem to exist. After a lot of thought about what training I was trying to accomplish, I decided to go with this collar as opposed to a bark collar. With this I could always tap the button if he was barking excessively, and also use the collar for other training. A bark collar was too limited. Good luck!

Not that I'm aware of. I just taped over the shock buttons and left only the vibrating buttons visible so my son and husband did not get confused. It worked so well with my Aussies that I just took the batteries out of the remote and put their collars on and hold the empty remote where they see it when we go for walks. Works like magic. �

There are 3 buttons on the remote. One on the side and two on the face. The button on the side is tone (beep) only. It is to get the dogs attention. If that does not work the top button on the face is a static (shock) application that will give a short burst and a beep. The lower button, which I have never needed to use, is a 3 second static shock. I have shocked my dog maybe twice and then only used the tone ,side, button after that. Once I put that collar on my jack Russell his whole attitude changes. Extremely effective if used responsibly. I shocked myself before I ever put it on my dog to get the right level established. Hope this helps.

No, this collar works by detecting a barking sound AND a simultaneous vibration (from the dog's vocal cords). Therefore, it will only shock the dog who actually barked. Hope that helps!

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

I was making the mistake of not having the remote set to the on position myself. To charge just plug each one of the charger pins into the port on each of the collars and the remote, bottom. Lights...yellow and red will flash until it is charged then they it will remain lit on red. Collar has 3 vibration command buttons:V1 for dog 1, V2 for dog 2 and V for both dogs. The vibrations have two different modes. This feature will serve different training purposes. For example,V1,V2 serve as warning before shock and V as attention call for two dogs. L1 & L2 is for low shock Hl1 & H2 is for high shock. I hope this helps you! I was making the mistake of not having the remote set to the on position myself.

It depends on how far away you want the dog to stay from your garden. The settings don't change the intensity of the shock to the dog, but the range of the collar. I think it works in increments of 2 feet per bar on the display screen of the transmitter. You'd have to read the instruction manual. I haven't had to use mine in a while, so I really don't remember the specific settings. I hope this helps.

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!

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

No, the device doesn't will not affect you at all. In order for the collar to be effective it needs to be in direct contact on the neck of your pet. It senses how much intensity to emit based upon how persistent the barking is. So again, don't worry about getting shocked, it doesn't quite work that way on us.
