Is it possible to completely disable the shock feature, so i can't use it by accident when all I want to do is make it vibrate?

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. �

I don't know; however, I would not try to take the remote apart because you may break it. The the collar is suppose to be a training tool not a controller. Use your voice to train your dog and only hit the vibrate if the dog does not listen. I agree with pun mihok, take the batteries out and work with your dog.

I have not yet tried this, but have you tried using the vibrate feature without the prongs screwed in? And if not try it. If that does not work then I would try to pry the shock buttons out of the remote so they can't be accidentally pressed. Hope these suggestions help :)

Just don't use the shock button ever. Thats what I do. My little on responds to the beep and if she is really really out of her mind barking the vibration stops her in her tracks. :-)

No. It has the shock sensor and that's it. I need one of those as a matter of fact.

Yes. That is the only way I use mine. Oscillation can be turned on and off.

Yes. I ended up disabling the feature, since it cannot be adjusted. Potentially useful, though.

Oh, yes. We use the vibrate almost exclusively. Our "girls" don't like the sound/feel of the vibration. So it is very rare that we use the shock. And we've only once had to use the hard shock and then, only on one of the dogs. And if both dogs have on their collars, there's a button that you can hit both dogs at once with vibrate. There is not a similar button for the shock.I like the recharge function. The other system we tried ran through batteries way too quickly.

Yes my dog does the same thing and the shock feature even on low settings stops her immediately.

Did you turn up the volume. That seemed to also affect the vibration and shock.

There is a mode button that changes from shock vibrate an so on. Which is the button that is in the middle on the bottom. I like to try an vibe before shock an that's hard because I have to vin an then go threw the modes to shock if have to an if the is something interesting going on I don't have time to go threw the modes..Buyother then that its great works great

,..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 is not a vibration option. There is a bad sound that you use to help train them. You use the bad sound followed by a small shock. Then they know they better listen because after the bad sound comes something worse. The shock level goes from 1-8. There is also a good sound you can use located on the side of the hand remote. You can use that to let them know their behavior is good. Those are the only options though.

No way to turn it off that I know of. It is probably a good safety feature.

Definitely! That's one its best features. I have two long-haired collies and a normal shock collar does not reach through their fur. (And I hate shocking them.) The vibrate feature is so effective, I have only had to use it once or twice, and barking has stopped. I have never used the shock buttons at all! I highly recommend this . . .in fact, My sister-in-law just got one for her two daschunds (big yappers) and she is also pleased. I just don't know why there isn't a product that is vibrate-only.

You can turn it off! Or adjust the pressure to make it very subtle. But yes, you can turn it off separately.

I use the vibration mode for my 3 lb Chihuahua. Before I would use the electrical shock mode on any pet I would first try it on myself; it can burn if the setting is too high.

Yes. You can just have the vibration. But it only stays on for a short while before auto shutting of. And that is not something you can change.
