You can open the box and shut it off or put the dog somewhere alone where nobody will walk past it.

I'm not sure of that problem. I imagine there is an on off switch. The pup was a birthday present for my granddaughter. If you cant find the switch take out the batteries. Ask me again in a few days and I will find out from the dogs present guidian

Our pooch seems to be generalizing his learning. In the house, he barks once with the collar on, and maybe twice with it off. If we show him the collar, he stops. I haven't tried walking him now without the collar because it helps so much.

Yes this will help a lot with her staying in the yard, I'm not sure about the barking though, because our puppies are not big barkers, thankfully! But this is probably one of the best tools I've gotten on amazon to help train my dogs. I have 2 Great Pyrenees puppies, so I know how stubborn dogs can be. Hope this helps you! :)

not sure but think its to change the contacts with - not a word in the quarter page of instruction! By the way, they are doing amazingly good job of nearly stopping the barking. Don't think either has gotten a shock since the second day.

I think you would have to couple the sound with a quick jerk on the leash. In other words, hit the device and quickly give her a sharp jerk and tell her "down." That way she will tie the sound to the down command. Over time, you should be able to just tell her "down" and in order to avoid the sound, she will comply. It does work well for barking, but I also couple it with "quiet!" then a quick blast on the device. They are now at the point where just telling them "quiet" gets the desired response.

No there is not an automatic bark control. You would need to activate every time the dog barks for corrections.

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.

My mom found that to be the case in her house. all of mine bark and it didnt work at all for them. My mom used it and it really bothered one of her dogs. She has 2 Afghan hounds that are pretty sensitive to everything!

Not sure since I can not hear. I got a co2 BB pistol and kept by my chair. A lot louder and I know it went off. Sure breaks their attention and stops the barking and they learned I was unhappy when that noise sounded. I think if you used it manually I might work better. I think Associating the noise and you being unhappy with the barking is what will give a permanent fix. If my dogs were big enough I would get a shock collar. My dogs 5 lbs and can not find a shock collar that small

it doesn't "bang" shut but there is a noise. I suggest going to a pet store where they are on display and testing out

Try not to force, as its new and the dog is scared. Assure he or she its okay. Speak gently and just place on nose for a few seconds. My dog didn't like it, but I believe realized it was doing some good. She somewhat relaxed about it an allowed me to, but when she backed away, I let her. Didn't want to force her. My dog had chronic bronchitis and heart disease. She fought for three months and passed. I wish u luck.

It seems it really depends on how sensitive your dog is to sound, and it's reason for barking in the first place. I bought ours when we brought a new dog into the home and she had separation anxiety. We only needed to use the unit a few times before she stopped barking. Whether the cessation came from using the unit or from her settling in, is hard to say. But when the unit was turned on and she barked, the response was immediate and obvious.

I would definitely contact the seller and make them aware. Ill try my best to explain but there should be an online manual on google somewhere. All you do is charge it up first until the light on the collar is green. Then activate the collar by holding the button on the side with the digital display. You do this and then it should come on. Then if you let go and hold the button again two lights will be displayed (green and blue) and this means that each time your dog barks sequentially the electric pulses will increase. This is where I have mine. However if you let go and hold the button again there is a manual setting where you can set the pulse from 1-9, 9 being the strongest. I had troubles figuring it out at first but just play with it and if this doesn't help call the manufacturing company they'll absolutely answer your questions. Be careful not to hold the button too long as this will power off the collar. Hope this had helped you! If you have any more questions let me know. Also let me know if it works well on your dog as well.

Did you put the flags up and train him on leash? Walk the perimeter every day a couple times a day for a couple weeks. The training will pay off. We went through the same issues with our Weimaraner. Do not use the shock feature to train. Use the audible signal. The dog does not recognize or "Respect" the fence if he is still bolting through it. Be patient!

I'm sorry I never had a chance to use it. I started calling the police every night since the first of this year because of the noise,(they didn't seem to be doing anything) so I ordered the bark control just in case the police didn't correct the situation. They did & I gave it away to my brother. He was dealing with 3 barking dogs. 2 dogs stop barking, 1 still barks, sister in law thinks it's deaf. My neighbor no longer has the dog & we are enjoying peace and quiet after 2 years of nonstop barking. Good luck to you.

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...
