Do you set level per dog and it's locked at that or do you have to change stimulation each time if your dogs need different levels?

You have to change stimulation for each dog and different levels depending on dog response. I usually start out at 20 and it is rare that I have to raise past 60.

Set per dog, but I have only had to use the vibration with my dogs. I would think you would only want to start at a low level.

yes you set each # to a colar then make sure its on the number of the dog you want to correct. you can set each colar to the same number but then you correct a dog that isnt doing nothing wrong and you defet the purpose of the colar

Yes, but once you get past 2 dogs you start losing other functions like the ability to vibrate or beep. I think you can download a pdf manual on the sportdog website to get the specific trade offs. Essentially when you get to 6 I believe you have 3 buttons one each for 3 different dogs then the toggle to switch to 3 other dogs for those buttons.

I can not think of very many circumstances where you would want to correct 2 dogs at the exact same time... you would be much better off buying the 2 dog system. Look at the Dogtra 1902NCP model -- this model lets you correct 2 dogs independently of another with a single remote. Also, PLEASE take the time understand how to use a remote trainer before using it -- there are many videos out there (both free and paid) that detail how to use a remote trainer properly.

The lowest setting is tone/vibrate only. The other 4 settings have various levels of shock along with tone. Tone comes in first, then the anti-linger shock comes in after a couple/few seconds. I have to keep everything set on high - boundary at max, level 5 on the collar. She is an extremely fast runner and get through the boundary on the lower settings when she has her mind set on a rabbit or coyote.

No it doesn't. It has three different settings on it. One for collar one, collar two, and the third is for both collars. You can also change the shock level, but make sure you look at the level when you change which collar you are about to use! One of my dogs is a lot more stubborn than the other, which requires a stronger shock.

The pet can get to all levels. There are platforms for the animal to sit on at level two and three. If you need to limit there movement you can put the top on the bottom level and use it independently. My dog loves it.

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.

Put the dog's leash on them. Lead them up the steps. Give them lots of love when they get up there. Try not to get frustrated. It's scary for them - they've not done anything like this before! It can be difficult and it doesn't depend on size. My bigger dog got it right away and uses it constantly. My smaller dog doesn't seem to trust it and I have to watch & make sure she doesn't try to jump. She's the one that had to get an ACL operation. Until your dog gets used to it, you may have to get the leash out periodically and force them to use it. After a few days like that they should "get it" & use it without prompting.

That is a GREAT question. I have no idea about the answer. I also have two dogs but do not train them at the same time. It would be bedlam. Maybe contacting the maker would give the answer you need. Good luck with your dogs. Shirley.

You have to toggle between the two sets of settings to correct each dog. Theres a small metal lever to switch. You just jave to remember what setting number you use for each dog. I use mine woth two dogs. One is 28lbs the other one is over 45. All the directions are really clear that come with the device

I use it with two dogs - one bigger and more stubborn than the other. We set her collar at a higher level (on the collar itself) than we set the little guys. The only time it causes issues is when you are needing to change the dial to a higher/lower setting and push the wrong button. Then the dog who gets a vibration or shock looks at you like "I am being good!" while the other one is trying to cross the street. ;-)

YES, I can answer this question. You should fill water station to 'water level that is indicated'. You should check periodically depending on the thirst of your pet (s).

Yes, I also have two dogs and use them both at the same time. I just painted a white R on one remote and a bright green J on the other, so I don't vibrate or shock the wrong dog!

Yes you can direct the correction of your animal one at a time I have been using it now for about a month almost everyday. I have two boxers and both of them already had the drill down, so they react to the tone very rapidly. I had a SportDog training color it was made better and more waterproof than this unit but it was only for one dog. I think if you don't get it wet and keep it charged you'll be happy. Just keep in mind the trick is not to have to use the electrical feature, maybe try the the vibration feature it works. But be careful because the electrical feature is right next to the vibration feature don't get them mixed up by mistake.

It's really up to you and your puppy. We typically change it once a day, however, your puppy may be willing to use it longer.

I use the same for all size dogs and my birds. I would just use the lower setting for smaller dog, especially if they tend to wiggle.
