Not only is it not automatic, I think it is an inferior product. I had to have the unit replaced and eventually returned it. Not quality material, not a quality product.

I don't know what kind of dog you have but I have a St Bernard and this collar did absolutely nothing. I returned it. You have to press the button yourself and no matter how near or far, it didn't work

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!

I think it give 3 beeps but they sometimes will still bard. It will give the warning beep before they begin barking. Mine does not vibrate just beeps and shocks. It doesn't seem to hurt them. I had one today that didn't bark without the collar but just ran around the table inside and outside for 2-3 hours. Hyper dog I think. I thought she would have a heart attack.

it has an automatic bark feature. You have to press the button on the remote to activate it. When we turned ours on it shocked the dog all the time even she was not barking so I sent this POS back.

You put the collars on the animals and set them each up with the same remote. One is 1 the other is 2. When a dog does something such as bark, jump, w/e you need this for, you press the button for that dog and it sends a shock to that dog through the collar. I had to use this for excessive loud barking. After they realize what they're doing causes this they stop. I just pick up the collar or remote off the table now and they stop right away.

It is not a bark collar. We use the remote. Have to be intentional on the exact behavior you want to avoid. Can't keep zapping randomly or dog will be confused. Completely manual remote. Great tool for training.

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.

The collar only has one vibration level. You can use either the shock or the vibration at a time. This collar is the lowest quality that you will find in training quality. I bought it for the price. It's always on unless you take out the batteries. If you don't want to use the shock option you dont have to. The shock and vibration have different buttons. Hope I helped!

No vibrate mode. However, there is a tone only mode. My dog learned very quickly that, once he heard the tone, he knew to correct his behavior. Also, I can't even imagine going up to level 8. Level 3 did perfectly fine for my 60 lb. dog, and I really only had to do it a couple of times. Sorry, more info than you asked for, but I have always been against these collars until now. It really worked for me.

Hi, I leave the collar only if needed. For example I used it for almost a week everyday and now my dog knows when she is not behaving properly just with looking at the collar, also if I put the collar she also knows she did something wrong and she behaves without using any vibration anymore.

I don't remember this devise having the option of only using the vibrate sensors. If I remember correctly the vibrating is a warning to the dog to stop barking and if the dog continues to ignore the vibrating the shock comes afterward. My husband tried the collar on himself to be sure it wasn't to harsh. He said it was very much like getting a good static shock. It mostly gets your attention with a split second of mild discomfort. I'm sure your dogs personality plays a part also. Different dogs will react differently.

I really don't know. Our dog won't bark now when I put the collar on and don't even turn it on. Sometimes if he is barking I will just show him the collar and say "do you want me to put this collar on you?" and he will stop. I don't know you would use it without the collar as you have to inject this directly into the collar as it doesn't have a spray type nozzle..

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.

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.

It makes a tone without shocking, but I don't think it is a vibration. When you first use it (when calling and dog won't come or going out into a street), simply tone her. When she continues, do a low shock. After doing that a couple of different times, she now comes at the tone to avoid the little shock that would come next. It works very well. In fact, just putting the collar on her seems to keep her in the yard.I just read Craig's answer so I guess it does vibrate. Husband is the disciplinarian so I don't know that much except that it works well. We have never gone above the 3 or 4 setting to shock.

It's not a bark collar....trust me, I wish it was a combo unit but as a shock/ vibrate collar, it hasn't failed me one bit. Good luck

So it will just vibrate and beep. Does it go off with out remote when dog barks
