Would you recommend saying "No" when your dog barks while using the collar so that your dog eventually responds to your command to stop?

Thank you for the question! We do not recommend saying "No" to your dog in addition to the correction administered by the collar. However, we do highly recommend praising your dog after they stop barking as this will reinforce the training and make the collar more effective.

No, it will only work with a bark. I would recommend a remote control collar. We purchased one for around $50 that allows us to use a remote to activate a loud tone, a rattle, or a small shock. I think that would work better for whining. Good luck!!

no there is not. There is however, an audible tone before the shock. Only took one shock from this collar on a low setting, now my dog responds to the audible tone, and the shock is never used.

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.

Depends on the dog. Our lab will start barking after he figures out that it's off. We didn't start using it until he was five years old though.

Not sure which collar you are referencing as I only used the Big Dog Bark Control Collar, with which we were very pleased. Since your dog is basically a large dog, like our dobie, I would think your dog may respond well to it. Good luck!

I don't know of this feature. Why? When the collar is in use, I turn the control on, and when it's in the drawer,it's turned off. Very effective. Only had to use 3 three times to reinforce commands. Hopefully, I wont need it until the next dog need correcting. Good luck

No. The collar is remote control only. You probably wouldn't want it on for something like that anyway. What if there's an intruder? Shouldn't the dog bark for that? Collars require judicious training.

I said no, as I do not have a dog who barks constantly. I would go to his website and read the FAQ's, I believe he addresses the issue

I suppose you could use it as an alternative to a bark collar but you would need to press the button every time your dog barks.

It should effectively stop her nuisance barking most of the time. This is not to say that your dog might not try to test the unit. I suggest you start with the vibe option and progress to the shock from there as necessary. Do not over sensitize the unit as it may give false shocks. Your dog has a thick coat so it might require some thinning of the neck hair. I have found that it is more important to have the collar relatively tight and the unit positioned properly under the chin on the upper part of the neck. A little experimentation helps as each situation is slightly different. I have an attention barking Yellow Lab of 105lbs. and it works on him.

I don't believe so as the collar reacts to the vibration of the dog barking. If your second one isn't barking then the collar does not correct. I have two dogs and only use the collar on my yappy one.

My dog stops his activity that is undesirable when we use negative. With a short burst of a positive command his ears pick up but no alarmed behavior. I actually use the positive in a short burst to call him back in from outside.

I say the command "NO" and push the bottom once p pointing it at the dog. We have four dogs so sometimes they all get the sound because the one dog is too excited to quit. I do not hold the bottom down but their ears go back at the one push so I know it is effective. Pushing it without a command is confusing to the dog as the bottom is the negative sound reinforcement for barking. Now if I point the device and say "NO" they will stop barking if they bark again I push the bottom saying "NO" again. Hope this helps.

The manufacturer recommends that you remove the collar when crating your dog. I agree that this is the thing to do.

It isn't supposed to be a training aide for barking. It is a tool to show your dog he/she doesn't listen to a command, it will be corrected without you directly correcting and scaring the dog with your hand etc.. Which would make the dog frightened of you. This training tool must be properly introduced to the dog to work. There are instructions in the pamphlet it comes with. Good luck

OF COURSE,It won't.When your dog barks,the warning tone reminds your pet without immediately applying painful stimulus.At each step,your dog gets to choose whether it's worth the increasing pain to bark again.We have found this technique of progressively increasing sound and shock is not only more humane,it is more EFFECTIVE in breaking the barking habit than conventional shocking bark control collars.PETINER can be adjusted to control the sensitivity of the voice,according to the size of dogs barking.
