box is on .collar has new batteries but does not shock dog until he is almost on top of wire.we have range turn up all the way

The response time of the collar will vary upon the depth of the wire and how fast the dog approaches the wire and the intensity of the field that you set on the dial. I have mine set to roughly the 4 o'clock position and our works fine. To test the field walk towards the line with the collar in your hand, using the indicator lamp. You may have to shave or thin the hair on the under side of your dog's neck.Most of the time it goes down to training. Hope it helps.

Re-route your signal wire exiting the control unit. Be sure not to run the wire parallel for any length close to the box.

Small light let's you know that the battery still holds a charge. The prongs need to be touching the dogs neck so They can feel the shock.

Mine lasts 5-6 months, but it depends on how stubborn the dog is. Mine keeps "testing" it to see if the shock has weakened. There is a red light on the collar unit that flashes when the battery is low. I am very pleased with this product and company. I live in FL and the base unit was fried by lightening a few months ago. The company charged a nominal fee and sent me a new unit with return info for the bad unit.

I found the collar works very well. In fact I just show it to our little dog and he turns away and stops barking. If our big poodle knows it is on she won't even shake her head in case she sets it off, just sits very quietly. After awhile we just take the battery out. I don't think the spray is too much, just shocking at first.

the red light flashes when the collar is beeping. constant beeps for low battery, otherwise lights when shocking. (Both of) Mine looks like the current picture (black box and red collar) and does not have a dial from my inspection. I have a larger dog ~70lbs and have not had health concerns from use as stated in other answers.

Yes it does, it has four levels, sound and three levels of shock. Just one forewarning the battery doesn't last long but the collar has been decent. It is small and we have used it for a beagle and an Aussie mix.

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

We moved last year to a house that doesnt have a fence and my lab chow mix would CONSTANTLY chase wildlife deep into the woods. We didn't want to invest thousands into another fence or an electric fence so we decided to give this collar a try. There are two buttons and a 1-10 dial on the remote that you hold. One button makes the warning beep (letting your dog know that the shock is coming) and the other button administers the shock. We have found great success with this product and after the first few days only needed to use the warning button. We tested it on ourselves before testing it in our dog and it doesn't hurt but it will get your attention. I hope this helps!

I agree with the comments already posted on the functioning of the collars. If you are questioning whether they are functioning properly, you can test them when the collars are not on the dogs because the light will come on and you can hear command.

No it doesn't.. The electric shock is really low, is just to scare the dog :)

The collar has 3 levels of intensity plus the audio only. I have heard some say that large dogs aren't effected by the shock but I would guess they don't have the collar tight enough. One of our dogs will respond to the audio only and the other at the lowest setting.

You should have no problem. There are different settings for how strong the shock will be. Be sure that prongs touch their skin, not just sit on their fur. You may need to shave a small area if their fur it thick. Also, there is a distance setting to adjust how close the dog can get to the fence. My dog is a jumper, and the only time she has gotten out since the collar was when I FORGOT to change the battery! She hears the warning beep and stops! Hope this helps!

Yes, very easy to use, just make sure the correct channel is lit up with the little blue light or it won't send the signal to the correct collar.

The collar has batteries which are included. Amazon also has the replacement batteries. If the beeping sound gets lower then you know the battery is dying and needs to be replaced. Replacing the batteries is easy.

OH, I know the answer, those are diodes and you use them to check the two posts on the collar if they are active, saves getting shocked, put one leg on each contact. Saves getting zapped.

This is not a bark collar - you must use the remote to correct the behavior every time - the good news is after a mild shock, vibrate after is a good warning that most dogs take it as such
