So, it is my understanding, that if your dog is inside, you should remove the collar for fear of interference from other electronics?

I never remove the collar. That's a good way to forget to put it back on and now your Pooch can roam freely. Sounds like that rumor was started by someone's Dog.

I don't know about interference but we take the collar off when he comes in anyway because the wire runs along the outside of the house and it might shock him when he comes in.

Electronics will not interfere with this device. I did however take the collars off simply because the transmitter was close to the water bowl and they wouldn't have been able to get to it. When I still lived with my parents, the collars were on 24/7 and there was never a problem.

We leave the collar on our dog all the time. So far there had not been any misshaps

Possibly. I'm not sure of the results you'd get. The locator beeps can be quite sharp (some variation there) and a dog might find them upsetting. The range is limited so it's not likely to work well in a big house or big yard. The part that you would put on the collar is not weatherproof, based on having replaced a battery. This means that a dip in the water bowl or extremely wet weather could damage the unit. I would address this question to the seller who is very knowledgeable.

Kay i think it will stop because the collar do the signal when my dog is howling. I put it in myself and bark and I received the signal.

Once the dog gets the hang of it, I've found that I can set the collar to beep only (no shock) and it's still effective. I assume that extends the battery life because it doesn't have to charge / maintain the shock system. The real problem is dead batteries from a new package.

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 have not used it for that reason however this collar has changed the response time I have with my canine mix. No matter what she is doing, she turns her attention to me once I sound the buzzer. Best of luck to you.

I need a new antenna also, but so far the collar is still working. I have not had to "shock" my dog, the beep it does as a warning has worked well for him. I haven't been able to find just the antenna for the collar. I will go on the website ..Thank you Lisaly for the information

I would say so. You would just have to turn the transmitter down but the collar itself is big so not sure how big your dog is but that could be a factor.

Nope. They don't interact/interfere with each other. If yours doesn't work, check the battery (it could be dead or installed upside down). If you don't have a multimeter, swap the batteries in the two collars...

Its just the shock tester to make sure the collar is working. You bend the wires on the collar prongs and the light lets you know it works. you remove it before putting the collar on the dog.

The manufacturer recommends that you remove the collar when crating your dog. I agree that this is the thing to do.

Thank you for a very good question. Another pet or noise (clapping, thunder, etc) will not set off the collar. It can only be set off by the pet wearing it. The collar is unconditionally guaranteed to work. There isn't any time limit on it. I'm not sure whether Amazon has a time limitation on returns or refunds.

It depends. I have a collar on the dog as well, so I have an option of using both.

yes it will not hurt your dog to just let the collar on. I learned how to use this collar from a trainer. My dog is a Jack Russell that weighs 20 pounds. I have the remote on a number 1 and that is enough for her. I have only had to shock her a couple of times and now as soon as I put the collar on her behavior changes immediately. Now I usually only need to use the beeper and she stops whatever she is doing. This collar isvery powerful. As per the advice of our trainer he told us to shock ourselves to we know how it feels and how powerful it is. That's why mine is on a number 1. I usually only have to charge the collar about once a week, twice at the most. yes it will not hurt your dog to just let the collar on. I learned how to use this collar from a trainer.

I seriously doubt it. The feature that I liked about the collar is that it gives a warning before it shocks. kThus my Pointer has learned that she can get away with one bark without being shocked. If she persists, then she gets shocked. The collar is activated by vibration. The collar is a great one, and I recommend it, but you might be better off with one that you trigger when the irritating activity occurs.

I don't know; however, I would not try to take the remote apart because you may break it. The the collar is suppose to be a training tool not a controller. Use your voice to train your dog and only hit the vibrate if the dog does not listen. I agree with pun mihok, take the batteries out and work with your dog.

They say that it should come off every night, and that's probably a good idea. If left on too long, your dog can get open sores from the contact points rubbing on his/her skin. Loosening the collar to prevent this will also prevent the collar from working. We are very satisfied with the collar, but it does need to be removed and left off overnight with some regularity.
