Does this collar go into a sleep mode like others I have bought? I try to use tone to call my dog and it won't beep if the dog has been still.

I, too, use the tone to call my dog and he always comes running. The device does not "sleep" afer periods of inactivity. What may be happening is that the switch for a second dog may be moved. If that happens, the remote will not communicate with the collar. Because I have occasionally "pocket-stimulated" my dog, I have begun using the selector switch to make sure that I don't.

A collar is not your best investment to stop barking. I've done some research on this, even though I have a very quiet dog. Zero barking is not normal, neither is excessive barking. I very much suggest finding and hiring a reputable trainer in your area to help if you have a 'big barker' on your hands.

The audible beep only is a separate button so if your dog responds to that you don't need to use the "zap". I tried using the audible first, but my dog doesn't respond to it, though I think he just ignores it. The zap works. Just have to charge it often.

Every dog is different I am sure. All I can say is that my dogs knows when I put the collar on that they will be corrected for barking, so they do not do it. I do not leave the collar on them because there are two large protruding nodules inside the collar. They also know that when the collar is not on and they will bark. Perfect scenario would be a collar you could always have on... I have yet to see one without protruding parts though as that is how the collar works. It sure beats not having a corrective collar though. Good Luck!

I think it give 3 beeps but they sometimes will still bard. It will give the warning beep before they begin barking. Mine does not vibrate just beeps and shocks. It doesn't seem to hurt them. I had one today that didn't bark without the collar but just ran around the table inside and outside for 2-3 hours. Hyper dog I think. I thought she would have a heart attack.

It needs to be charged regularly and i noticed that I have to reset the collar almost every time i use it. Other than that, it has been working just fine. I am wondering if my dog will go back to old habits once i stop using the collar or will it program her not to do certain things so eventually she won't do them even when i don't use the collar. Has anyone noticed the difference with their dog's behavior when the collar is not used?

the red light flashes when the collar is beeping. constant beeps for low battery, otherwise lights when shocking. (Both of) Mine looks like the current picture (black box and red collar) and does not have a dial from my inspection. I have a larger dog ~70lbs and have not had health concerns from use as stated in other answers.

No after a few minutes it goes to sleep and you have to press a button to wake it up before the collar will function

Mine worked for a couple of weeks on barking and any noise the Bichon made near it. He would cock his head and stop. But it doesn't work anymore. He barks again all the time. And it never worked for the Maltese...

I hadn't tested mine either, until I got the e-mail. I just tested both and one works but the other does not. I switched the batteries around several time because I was afraid it might have been the collar. The battery does not, sorry to say.

I dont believe so. When mine yawn out loud or make any other noise the collar does nothing. only when they bark. thats just my experience

There is a button on the side that is just for the tone. You can also just shock or just vibrate. It does not beep when you shock the dog. My dog usually responds to just the tone and I don't even have to shock him at all.

The remote is used to put the collar into bark mode. I haven't tested but I'm pretty sure the collar will stay in that mode with the remote off

My collar do not have such option. I'm not sure if any new versions have such option but I don't think your dog can be "beeped" anyway unless it is remote controlled.

I started with the vibrate only and moved up to 2 and on as necessary but only put it on when she barked so she would know the collar came on when she barked. Soon she just needed to wear it without turning it on or just show it to her and she would stop. Hope that helps

Have no positive idea - in all probability, You should again push the button whichactivated the "It's Done" Tone/Alarm originally. Don't actually know - apparently I've never pushed my button - it's quiet!

If its charged, the light stays on for a moment after the collar senses movement. That way if the dog is asleep or inactive the collar conserves battery life. No on off button on the collar.
