I have two TyreDogs. Neither produce a significanlty alert using sound or appearance. Am I missing something?

For the alert mode you need to set the tire pressure warning limit in the monitor, instructions provided in the user manual. There will be audible beep anytime the tire pressure is below and above the set warning.

I'm finding the same thing. Our dog will be running around and we can repeatedly press the button and nothing happens. The light on the remote will be on, but because the dog is running around, I can't see if the collar light is on. (We know it's not activating because we're close enough the hear the vibration, and the dog has specific behavior when it goes off (like he startles and stops what he's doing). Then the next time is will work. I have a second remote in my shopping cart because we need two of them, but I'm not sure if I should delete it and return this one.

I don't know if it's the newest or 3rd, but there is no beep. I would suggest pairing the use of either the vibrate or the shock with a verbal correction (do the verbal correction at the same time as you push the button) ... that way you can eventually get rid of the collar and the verbal correction will work alone. But you have to be consistent. We never needed to use the shock. The vibration was enough for my large dogs.

No. It has to be a noticeable bark. And even the first few barks are just warning beeps, not shocks

There are no lights -- unless you hook some up to external connections on the receiver. There are several alert tones that are programmable -- Westminster chimes, "ding-dog", etc.

No it makes no sound at all and it does not bother my dog either so apperently she can't whatever sound if puts out.

Hey Trish, my dog (a black lab) seems to respond more to the noise than the shock itself. If the noise does not work well for you dog try to put the shock to the highest to see if it works. Hopes this helps :D

that's all to it. if the unit is not defective it should make an audible beep every minute or so.time will tell if it really gets rid of creatures.

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...

I'm guessing you have 2 dogs. You can only shock one dog at a time. There is a wheel that's selects dog "A" or dog "B". You cannot shock and beep them at the same time. You have to choose whit h one "gets it". Unless you buy 2 separate remotes. And that can get confusing.

It sounds like the positive and negative are reversed. I use it on my dog and she definately reacts to the negative. I have learned that you can't be too far from your dog/dogs or the alarm will not have any effect on them. Hope this helps you.

Actually, it doesn't seem to work at all. The sound supposedly goes off when the dog is close to the to the unit. The *&&*$%$ barking dog next door pays no attention to the alleged high pitched sound which only the dog is supposed to hear. Save your money.

What type of dog do you have and is the fur on his neck ollowing the pegs to touch his neck? If he just looks at you, you may try notching it up 5 settings at a time. I have my shitzu responding to the beep and have had no issues with it making contact when needing it. Also make sure its charged well and not laying on top of the dogs regular collar.hope that helps! Cindy

I've got 3 malamutes and it works great. It will make noise sometimes but, mine are Albright with 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.

You choose beep or zap. I beeped then zapped after a while my dog responded to just the berp

My baby doesn't notice it either. It has a motion sensor and must be worn. For example, say you remove it to change a diaper, if you left it on and to the side, the alert would go off momentarily.
