Will this work to prevent animals from turning knobs? A friend of mine has a large dog &amp; non-removable stove knobs.

Yes. The covers spin when my daughter messes with them and I think they would keep a dog from turning the knobs also. That's too funny the dog is messing with the stove! However, you do have to remove the knobs to put them on.

Hi Lisa M. Yes it works on almost all dogs..Some of the really huge dogs it might not stop them from going across the wire and may require two of these collars set on the highest setting, you want to remember if your dog does cross the boundaries you have set out, you always set the collar on a higher setting. For bigger dogs I start my setting on Three, and then if he's stubborn I'll raise it two four, and then you still have five.. After he's had the collar on for three to six months, and he learns the warning sound before the shock, you can try turning it down some. Hope this helps you out.. Hi Lisa M.

Some dogs learn not to bark. Our dog is a difficult dog and didn't learn to stop barking. We use it when he goes outside so he won't disturb the neighbors with his barking. We use it inside when we need to take a nap or at nightime or when we don't want to hear him barking. Overall, it solved a huge problem we were having. Our dog was driving our neighbors crazy with his barking and it was causing us a lot of stress. This device doesn't hurt the dog.

Hubby has, but I worry about the plastic feet on the product. It didn't hurt them at all, but our stove top burners may be closer together than yours too. Poor kitty ;-(

Yes...we simply bought another plastic collar that was thin enough to feed thru the "device". Plastic is best so that it can repel the rain. I used a skewer stick (like u grill with) to push thru one of the collar "holes" to keep the device from moving around. This now "tiny 1/4" skewer piece keeps the collar from sliding around, doesn't bother the dog at all AND both me and "my baby" love the smaller width collar!!

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.

Same thing with our dogs. I wonder if they just adapt to it and bark anyway. I guess the noise they hear is not strong enough to be a deterrent. It might work with some dogs.

That's kind of the idea of it - to keep dogs out of a circular area around the rock. It's won't work as a fence to keep dogs IN that circle, only out of it. How well it works as a fence to keep your dog out of the circle depends on your dog, whether he or she is already trained with an electric collar, and how much he or she cares about the beeps & small shocks. It won't work as well as a real solid fence, but my dog (who was already trained to our underground fence) gives the rock a wide berth, even if her toys get close to it. She'll wait as I go inside the circle and get the toys for her, because she does not like the shock and she knows how to avoid getting it.

It stopped my herding dog from herding my horses so I assume it would. Every dog is different. You will have to be able to identify when the dog is going to jump the fence and hit the button right when he thinks about it. Hope that helps. Good luck.

My mom found that to be the case in her house. all of mine bark and it didnt work at all for them. My mom used it and it really bothered one of her dogs. She has 2 Afghan hounds that are pretty sensitive to everything!

Hello. We are happy with the unit and it works quite well. We have it at the top of our stairs and it keeps our two beagles off the second floor. We got the "stubborn dog" correction collars and, since you can vary the level of correction, it works as well as our outdoor invisible fence.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :)I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened.Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner.Hope this info helped!

Yes. This has a setting that goes from low to high. We used it on our 126 lb dog, and used the highest shock. However, he got used to it(he is oversized and they said that could happen). I think definitely worth it. If you don't want to spend the money, then I would get a coffee can, and put loose change in there. Everytime the dog barks you shake it and it terrifies them. They learn to stop.

I am not able to answer that question regarding a pet. We placed our sensor above a door. The sensor still pick of movement from the door. So, I would assume, that a large pet might also activate the sensor.

Since the buyer assembles the kitchen the knobs will be secure if you tighten them enough. The stove knobs would be the easiest to pull off I guess, but they are too large to swallow. Just remove them if you're worried.And I will reiterate what previous commenter said, this kitchen took me a long time to put together and there are lots of small pieces. Don't try to do this with your child around. Leave plenty of time.

it might help keep your yorkie from nipping on people. Ours seemed to work the first week and then our dog got used to it and it doesn't seem to be a factor anymore.

Our door works just as represented: first setting lets any 'animals' come and go at will, no magnet needed; second setting animals with magnet collar only coming in, anything can go out without magnet; third setting locks door so no animals can go either way, nothing to do with magnet. Hope that helps.
