Can it be activated one-handed? When I am holding my small dog, I need to be able to defend against my neighbors three dogs all set to attack while I am standing there screaming for help. This has happened several times. I need this to work one-handed...

No, you need two hands to activate it. Specifically you hold the can with one hand and have to use your other hand to pull the tab. Once that's done you can use the product with one hand.

I have a Weimariner. Tall dog. He is next to it all the time. It won't activate unless there is a body part directly above the sensor. He would have to put his head over it. Mine is a food a holic and has never done this. I would say you will have no problems.

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.

I think it would be difficult to use with one hand. This model is discontinued and the one I ordered didn't work at all. The model that replaces it cannot be used with one hand.

YES,YES AND YES! I have one if these and had I not had it...my dogs would be dead!Have used it several times and it works. Do not be afraid to use it. Police were called each time my dog was attacked by Pitts. They told me to keep using it.Anyone who walks their dog and doesn't carry protection is going to wish they had if your dog is attacked.CindyNorolk, Va.

I would definitely contact the seller and make them aware. Ill try my best to explain but there should be an online manual on google somewhere. All you do is charge it up first until the light on the collar is green. Then activate the collar by holding the button on the side with the digital display. You do this and then it should come on. Then if you let go and hold the button again two lights will be displayed (green and blue) and this means that each time your dog barks sequentially the electric pulses will increase. This is where I have mine. However if you let go and hold the button again there is a manual setting where you can set the pulse from 1-9, 9 being the strongest. I had troubles figuring it out at first but just play with it and if this doesn't help call the manufacturing company they'll absolutely answer your questions. Be careful not to hold the button too long as this will power off the collar. Hope this had helped you! If you have any more questions let me know. Also let me know if it works well on your dog as well.

Hi.. It would work if an assistant would help. It is hard to be held with one hand. It is best used with a mono pod or tripod. The dog has to stay still to maintain the light hitting it's face or body. If moving a lot, then you have to choose the right moment to catch the best shot. Good Luck.

yes, no problem activating through a window. I am so happy to say that I rarely even need to use this collar anymore! I still use it on extended hikes and camping trips to remind him he needs to mind his manners, but this device has truly helped my dog become a happy, calm, well-adjusted and well-behaved member of society =) Cannot recommend enough for a wide range of issues- as long as you use positive reinforcement as well and do not use it to PUNISH. It's made to CORRECT unacceptable behavior. If you are angry at your dog in a moment it should NOT be used or it can really have the opposite effect you are trying to accomplish!

It seems to only be activated by the dog closest to the collar. I've barked loudly right next to my dog and it has not gone off. But it has gone off without anyone including my dog barking, so it is a little unpredictable.

you can adjust the senso so one finger will activate it, it's just a knob underneath the unit, I have 3 cats in a small condo and this is the best thing going!!! don't hesitate

I don't know of this feature. Why? When the collar is in use, I turn the control on, and when it's in the drawer,it's turned off. Very effective. Only had to use 3 three times to reinforce commands. Hopefully, I wont need it until the next dog need correcting. Good luck

It blows a 'pffft' or compressed air. It's not even that loud and I can't explain it, but it's the only thing that works with my dogs. All 5 of them will start barking when someone's at the door. They feed off each other's energy and there is no way to bring them back to focus because at that point, they don't even hear me. I aim the Pet Convincer at them - it's actually a good couple of feet away from them, and they scatter. What happens over time is they start self correcting. I don't even have to press the trigger now. If they see me reach for it, they quiet down immediately. Nothing else has worked like this. It blows a 'pffft' or compressed air.

Yes, It can be used with one hand. If you don't have any hand strength you might need two. I have had no problems using it at all.

Yes, with the One Touch Can Opener. My left hand is paralyzed so I only have my right hand to use. Olace the opener on top of the can, press the button, and the opener does the rest. It works great!

I think the sensor is pointing up and out- it's a little hard to tell because mine doesn't always activate the first pass I make. I would think a dog could definitely activate it especially if the dog was interested in the smells.

I am not sure if this will help prevent attacking other dogs however, for our dog the gentle leader calms her down a lot, she does not pull when you walk her, she rarely ever barks with it on; the GL is like using accupressure for the dog. We love it and our dog does not mind it at all, it is part of the regular routine when we go out.
