When you push the button. I prefer it this way, and it works wonderful.you will find that you don't have to push the button as often as you might think. I have also read on blogs that some of the ones that are set automatically have had malfunctions, this way I know exactly is being done to my little dog. Also, I haven't had to use the shock, I only use the vibrate and it has done the job!

The one I have does not respond to barking. I have to push the button to correct the action.

Each push advances to another mode. This is kinda irritating until u get used to it. Once you're use to it the dog seems to even notice the clicks...helpful if he isn't too excited. There is also the button you push to activate your chosen mode. Wouldn't want to beep when he in danger, nor would you want to shock just to get his attention. I rarely have to do more than vibrate when he's being pigheaded. I only shock because he dpesn't seem to mind getting hit by cars when in the "zone".

it seems to work when the dogs bark. we have two and the one closest to the street sometimes is set off by passing louder vehicles. since I can't hear the frequency, I don't know if it activates more than it should.

if you tap it while in 'ON' mode it will respond. The button is only for demos while in the box. It is meant to work while adventuring!! There are many more sayings in the 'ON' mode and my son will sit and tap it on his foot to hear them all...or just to make me a little nuts;) Enjoy!!

I suppose you could use it as an alternative to a bark collar but you would need to press the button every time your dog barks.

The device detects loud barking and responds by sending out a high frequency sound. There is a sensitivity setting on the device that you can adjust.

No. I actually did a lot of research trying to find a "remote controlled bark collar" and it doesn't seem to exist. After a lot of thought about what training I was trying to accomplish, I decided to go with this collar as opposed to a bark collar. With this I could always tap the button if he was barking excessively, and also use the collar for other training. A bark collar was too limited. Good luck!

Yes. My dog barked once, I had it set to the mildest setting, -- she yelped in response to the shock. Did not bark again. Now I put it on her and do not even turn it on. Only need to use it when I go out and night, and she might bark. When the mailman comes, and I'm home, (I see his truck parked so I know he's coming) I'll put the collar on her (again) without turning it on ... she won't bark. My dog is a jack russel terrier

I don't always leave the collar on her, so I can't attest whether there is an automatic shutoff. However, there is a separate green button that will emit an audible alarm only. The yellow button will give a warning beeb followed by the correction shock. Over time, hopefully the dog will respond to solely the green button.

It does have automated bark feature..however our husky learned how to ignore it...lol! He doesn't cry as long as we are with him. It is one of the best ones we tried. Good Luck!

Mine responds from the next room only if there is little or no background noise. Even though it responds, it rarely gets the command I give it correctly. I hope it will learn over time. if not, it is just a gimmick.

It only flashes after being pushed to start the auto-connect. There is a time when it stops waiting for a connection for better security so you have to push the button again if you needed more time.

It will beep first and then it's a healthy shock when they are directly over the line. You can adjust the intensity though, depending on how well your dog learns. Most learn the first time.

This collar works off of vibration from the dog's vocal chords that it receives by being pressed against the dog's neck. It does not have a microphone that listens for a bark like other collars. Mine has never been triggered by another dog barking, a loud noise, or a thunderstorm. They provide a "tester" which is a serrated piece of plastic that goes over the vibration sensor. You scrape something across the tester to trigger the collar's response. The collar actually has to "feel" a vibration, and sound waves aren't enough to vibrate the collar, whereas being against your dog's neck when it barks will vibrate the collar.

It probably wont, plus, this collar needs the owner to be present at the time of barking to press a button to send either vibration or electric shock. It does not have a bark sensor to automatically shock the dog.

It has the tone button to give a warning and the button below it delivers the shock.It works great. Usually I only have to show the remote to my dog and he stops the bad behavior.
