can I get shocked if I'm holding my dog and she barks while wearing the collar

Thank you for your question! When the system activates through the sound and vibration of your dog's bark, it administers a static correction through contact points on the collar. These points have to be in contact with your pet's skin in order for her to feel the correction. This means that you would not be able to feel the correction that your dog receives.

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.

The training collar shocked my little dog so badly I returned it immediately.

No. But if you are relatively closed you can hear it vibrate and if you use shock you'll see the dog react to it.

It can be. It is preset at the factory on level 2. They feel a little tiny jolt. No screaming or anything likehat. It can however be a shock collar if dialed up high enough. I had to use a higher setting when my dog...( he's 75 lbs) got out of the yard and ran like a maniac. He would not come back on command. So rather than have him get run over in the street the collar literally saved his life. He gave a little yelp turned around and ran back to his yard. This in itself was a miracle. It has proved to be a very good investment. his is not a cruel collar just a training collar. I just use the beep and he responds now. Hope this helped. It can be.

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!

Yes it will hurt your dog. It's a shock collar. Anything that shocks you will hurt. Your dog will get hurt at least once, when it barks through the first two warnings. It will yelp and look around for something that is hurting it. It's the point of the collar. Eventually, your dog will learn that the beeps are a warning. If it doesn't learn to expect the shock after the first couple of days, I would suggest a different method of behavior support.

no, there is an option to shock without sound, or make it beep without shocking the dog... but there is no vibration, though i have actually tested this on myself and the really low levels would barely be felt and might be just enough to get their attention without actually causing discomfort...

You will. Break your dog's neck if you use just the collar. A harness is the safe and recommended way to use this. Check with your vet or read the cautions.

It will not shock the dog on it's own if they bark. There are 6 shock settings, 1 tone(beep) setting, and if you wish to add on some of the extra things tri tronics makes you can do that as well and there is a setting to turn on and off that. Other than that it can be programmed to control up to 6 collars at once.I haven't been able to test the range of the device, but never have had any issues with it. So far it has been a very solid product.

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.

We returned it. It shocked our dog for no reason! I was trying to get the collar off while the poor dog was being shocked - not a good situation!

I am not sure. ...my dog is trained and she comes back at the audible alarm...we actually had a different one when we trained her and that one shocked for 15 seconds. ..If they stray and get shocked (during training) call them back...it should not take long for them to understand

Not at all. However, our dog (believe it or not) does not bark. But it is a very nice collar.

you should have no problem, I have slightly larger dogs, but I only use it to vibrate, not shock. You should try it on yourself to see how the shock works. I have had to change the collar that came with it because my dog ate the first one... once my dog knew what it is, he only needs to see it to cower. I don't keep it on him.

It will not shock the dog when barking and yes u can press the button whenever to beep, shock or vibrate

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 emits a very weak sound can only be heard approaching the ear. Be careful to do it may be shocked. The dog listens well that sound. My dog is wearing the collar for over a year and it works perfectly. It is imperative to training the dog as the manufacturer instruction. It is long and tiring but it is very important to do it well.
