Does this only work when the dog is on a leash? We have a problem with the dog jumping at counters and people when she is off leash.

The leash helps pull on the back legs...in theory. It ended up pulling the throat most of the time and didn't inhibit pulling. As to keep a dog from jumping, I dont know if it would work. You do have the ability to tighten the harness on its own, but they still have pretty full range of the legs.

Yes. We bought ours in hopes of stoping our dog from jumping fences and it doesn't work at all!! The clip that sits on the dogs back is a synch clip that can't be locked in place so it only tightens when pulled on by a leash. When not tight the dog just walks it off as it loosens. Not a good product!!

Yes, it only functions when the dog tries to pull away from you when it is on leash. It also does not work when the dog is facing you and you are trying to pull him to go with you. MIT only works when the dog is trying to pull away from you. Then, indeed, it does perform well.

Yes, if the window and the dog are close enough as they need to be when there's no window or wall between you and the dog. I've used it within my home for that purpose. I try to yell "No" loudly enough near the window for her to associate the command with the collar stimulus. Ultimately, I want her to respond to a voice command because sometimes I do want her to bark for security purposes.

Our dog also gets very excited when they see other dogs! The gentle leader hasn't eliminate this urge but it does make it easier to get them into a sit position. I get very nervous when our dog lunges at other dogs and with the gentle leader it can look even worse sometimes. We are trying to train them to sit when another dog is coming and sit after they pass and that has been easier with the gentle leader. In the DVD it says not to use with aggressive dogs so excited dogs seems like a grey area. Sorry this wasn't more helpful, I hope you have success with whichever way you choose.

No,this is an application determent, it only works if the chew on the fence, and then if they can jump or scoot through it it will not work

It needs to be charged regularly and i noticed that I have to reset the collar almost every time i use it. Other than that, it has been working just fine. I am wondering if my dog will go back to old habits once i stop using the collar or will it program her not to do certain things so eventually she won't do them even when i don't use the collar. Has anyone noticed the difference with their dog's behavior when the collar is not used?

I've never tried it with this kind of behavior...just barking, but I imagine it will work for your situation. I would definitely try it.

Hi Jessica! Really well, I think. My dog is a 65 lb. German Shepherd/Belgian Shepherd mix and he goes a little crazy excited sometimes when he meets dogs and he has his excitement moments when the metro comes by. I hold him close to me sometimes with the lock on and even if he is trying to go full force (and he's a STRONG dog!), he can't go anywhere. I've had the leash for a few months and use it almost every day, and the lock mechanism still works like the day I got it. Hope this helps!

It's tricky to use it for jumping on guests; by the time you'd spray it the dog's usually in mid jump and the guests have gotten sprayed too! We found the spray was good for other behavior issues, like barking for attention during meal times, or begging at the table. For the jumping, the only thing that worked for us is the 'sit and stay', and it's still a work in progress, but getting better. Dogs definitely don't like the smell of this, so it is a deterrent, but they're usually so excited to see people that they ignore the spray to get to the company coming through the door. You won't hurt anybody by trying the spray for jumping; it just didn't work for us.

I have a Weimariner. Tall dog. He is next to it all the time. It won't activate unless there is a body part directly above the sensor. He would have to put his head over it. Mine is a food a holic and has never done this. I would say you will have no problems.

If the Bike Tow Leash is attached properly your dog may attempt to jump towards the bike wheel but won't be able to reach it. My dog loves this product. She is so excited to go for a bike run I can't get her on the bike fast enough.

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

This leash is a convertible leash harness - so she might get the harness aspect undone. For a dog that is backing out of a collar- I would suggest trying a "martingale " type collar which works great to keep the dog secure. My border collie mix used to back out of her collar and we tried her with a martingale and we have never had problems .

While I haven't fallen while riding my bike with the leash attached, I could speak to something close. I got off the bike to pick up after my dog, and once or twice my bike has fallen over while he's still attached. He wasn't struck by the bike falling over in either direction - the leash body is long enough that he was still away from it. Same thing happens if you were to just lay your bike down - there's room for your dog to still be clear.This thing really does work great.

Unit works with my two larger dogs (boxers) within 10 feet. However it has no effect on our Morkie. We use this near the front door to help quite the dogs when visitors come. This is our second unit, first one was destroyed by a kid and we felt it worked enough to warrant a replacement. Good Luck.

There are several sections where he goes over jumping onto people and also jumping onto the counter or for something that the dog wants (like a ball). He does not specifically go over mouthing that i can remember, but i think that once you fully watched the two dvds that will be something you can easily figure out how to correct. The training is for full off leash control and reaching the "trust zone" with your dog and in order for the dog to have that freedom you will have to trust that they wont run off, be aggressive towards others, or other bad doggie type behaviors. There will be work ahead and it is well worth it for the dog and for you.

It doesn't shock by itself. You have to train the dog by walking your property and showing the dog it's boundaries. We love it. Our dog knows if she leaves the yard we will shock her. After a few attempts to leave and be corrected. She listens great

If the collar is adjusted correctly you should be able to regain control. If you do have a problem keeping the collar on use an over the shoulders harness as a secondary safety on a separate leash.
