Does this system continuously shock the dog if the go outside the safe zone?

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

I don't believe so. It inside control continuously beeps to let you know that the dog is out. I went though two collars in one year so I don't recommend. Went back to Petsafe wireless and haven't had any problems.

I am not sure if it continuously shocked. I remember it shocked a few seconds but dogs ran back. Not a good product...

The system will give them a tone warning that they have entered the trigger zone, the boundary zone is about 10 feet beyond that and that is where they will receive a correction. The correction is set to only last for 30 seconds before it stops. If your dog is willing to wait out the correction than you need to increase the level or make sure the collar is tight enough. It needs to be tight enough that you can only fit one finger underneath. The best part about this system is if they do leave the boundary and wait out the correction, they are not corrected again when they re-enter the boundary zone as with some wired fences. So it doesn't discourage them from coming home after they have left.

No. I wish it would to force him back. My dog has learned to take the brief shock and keep going oitside the boundary. Additional information: This unit is not good for dogs such as retrievers that will submerge it in water. It is not waterproof.

Yes. And I love the option of vibrate or shock. It works great for our 2 dogs.

It doesnt. This product never really work, and it stopped working altogether after only two months. My aussie is dead (hit by a car) and I paid $360 to get my other dogs out of the pound. Please, spend the extra $200 on the petsafe brand. It works! Just run the wire down around the end of the drive and back up.

I wouldn't recommend this unit, It didn't work as I hoped it would and repeatedly electrocuted my dog inside the safe zone. Needless to say I was not happy. Put in a normal fence or do the underground system.

Yes. This has a setting that goes from low to high. We used it on our 126 lb dog, and used the highest shock. However, he got used to it(he is oversized and they said that could happen). I think definitely worth it. If you don't want to spend the money, then I would get a coffee can, and put loose change in there. Everytime the dog barks you shake it and it terrifies them. They learn to stop.

Dog fets a shock. Dog will here beepibg prior to shock. After obe or 2 beeos dog will know not to go further otherwise it will receive a shock.

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

The in ground fence is good for up to 100 acres. If the dog runs through the fence, the shock only lasts for a couple feet. If your dog does run out, you will need to turn up the shock to avoid this issue. Usually once they start getting shocked they will run back in permitted area. There is a beep prior to the shock that notifies the dog once they are close to being shocked. I have 3 dogs on this fence and usually after first shock, they do not try again. The closest they get is to the beep and then back off. Never had a dog run out but I did test for my own knowledge...

Your dog will not get shocked by hearing the tone. If he continues toward the wire, he will feel the shock. The boundary is adjustable. My dog learned very quickly to avoid getting too close to the wire so I chose the minimum distance. You can actually see the a path where she runs. My cats have also learned where the wire is. They sit by it knowing it's their safety zone and the dog won't bug them!

I really don't know we only use this outside we have an acre of land and this works within that range- this does what we wanted to do and our dog responded very well and quick to the training. Only needed the beeping or vibrate never used the shock

Same question I had. I found this on page 13 of their operating guide: The Wireless System is designed to recognize power outages and shuts down without activating the Receiver Collar. However, if your pet is near the Boundary Zone during the power failure, he may receive a Static Correction. To lessen this chance, you may consider a battery backup device for the Transmitter if your area experiences frequent power outages.

No if he stops he won't get shocked. It's his warning. When training you need to jerk the leash back so he understands what to do when the tone sounds.

We have an outdoor system that is by the same company. For us both systems use the same collar so we have the outdoor zone with the fence for them to run in as well and an indoor "No! No!" zone created by this device. It is my opinion that if your system is the same brand then you will probably have a good chance of using both products off the same collar. If your system is not from PetSafe, then I have no idea.

Your controller is synced to your collar. If you correct, it will only affect your dog.

A human or animal intruder will be shocked, if the wire is connected to an appropriate power supply. I've accidentally touched electrified fences and definitely did not like the shock.

You can test it. May be is the battery. With my dogs, some of them get used to the shock, and don't stop barking.

Thank you for your question! This system is designed to respond to barking only, but it is possible that certain howls could trigger the device.
