My trainer has said not to use above # 2 setting - can I set the collar so it does not go above that?

no as far as i know you can not adjust any setting. I do not like that i can not really tell if it works. It must cause she doesn't bark as much. No way of testing that it is working.

NO, it is activated to their voice/bark, if they bark quietly then it just a little warning, if they bark real load and continuously then it gets stronger with the bark. Best investment, costly but worth every penny. the first week you want to keep it on them for two weeks straight then after that you use it as needed. Its a learning tool.

Some shock collars allow the user to set the intensity of the shock the dog receives. This is not that kind of collar. With this one, the dog controls the intensity of the shock. It starts out at the lowest level, and increases until the barking stops. If you want to test it, press the probes against your throat and make a barking noise.

Yes. I have two dogs. I numbered their collars 1 & 2 so I wouldn't get confused. Just set your transmitter to the number of the dog who is misbehaving and then push one of the 3 buttons. When I first got the dog trainer I accidentally shocked the wrong dog. He wouldn't have anything to do with me for awhile. Lol. The Aetertek works wonders. My dogs would bark at the neighbors every single time they would see them coming and going. It drove us all nuts. Now I can be out in the yard with my dogs and it's peaceful. No more senseless barking. I hope I helped.

I don't believe there is one because the collar has a lot of adjustments for small necks versus extra large necks. However with a small dog I would suggest you only use the vibration setting or small voltage setting. It is also a good idea that humans test the voltage on themselves to understand what their dog is feeling. That way you can gauge if you are using too much voltage. I have a Labrador and I only use the vibration setting or low voltage setting.

This is a problem I had to work out as well. I found that a couple things help keep the collar well-placed. First, if it is too tight the collar will slip to the side and get stuck there. If the collar is slightly loose, gravity will keep the device hanging low. In order to make sure the collar still stays in a position to feel the vibrations, I leave my dogs other (normal) collar on. I place the shock collar above their regular collar (close to the ears) so that it stays higher on the throat.It took some time to adjust the collar properly. I had to play around with how tight the collar was. Even a little change can make a big difference. This is a problem I had to work out as well.

The bark limiter is a mode that must be selected from the remote. In this mode, none of the three correction buttons will function as they do in other modes. Pressing a correction button while in bark limiter mode will ensure the collar is in also in bark limiter mode in case it was powered on after the remote was switched into bark limiter. So simply put, you can't do both. I can also say the bark limiter is very effective and reacts way faster than I ever could. Source: I just tried it on myself.

Thank you for your question! To ensure that both receiver collars do not activate, we would suggest to ensure that the systems have different ID codes. To better assist you with this situation, please contact our Customer Care Center at 1-800-732-2677.

The lowest setting is tone/vibrate only. The other 4 settings have various levels of shock along with tone. Tone comes in first, then the anti-linger shock comes in after a couple/few seconds. I have to keep everything set on high - boundary at max, level 5 on the collar. She is an extremely fast runner and get through the boundary on the lower settings when she has her mind set on a rabbit or coyote.

I agree with the first answer. You can usually find a secure point to lock the device to down low to the ground, such as the ironwork on a bench. The collar can rotate around the dog's neck so that the locking mechanism doesn't interfere with resting comfortably on the ground.

Yes but the reciever might be a little large and heavy for your dog. Saftey wise I would see no problem, do to the fact you can set it so low. I'd recommend there collars to anyone. I own two sets of them and would buy another from them.

Hey Kristen,The collar has a break-a-way feature, you don't want it too loose nor too tight. Follow the directions included. My cat Genny is an outside cat and fromtime to time she will "weasel" out of her collar........thats just cats !...:)

You are in full control of the collar. It doesnt have an automatic correction

CAUTION! If your dog is aggressive, correcting the dog with this type of collar can ramp up the aggression. Be careful, and please work with a trainer.

A dvd did not come with my collar. My dog has a high tolerance to pain so when I use it I have it turned up. She also has an underground fence which she does respect. I found out that once they learn the different collars and respect them once they understand. She is an Australian Shepard and is very active so we need to have control! Good Luck!

I don't believe the collar has that function, it pretty much just works the intensity. The control box does however have that setting. There three settings on the box. 1. Beep. 2. Beep/shock. And 3. Shock only.

I have found that for my dog, a male boxer, taking the collar off at times only confuses him. I extended his free area by adding an extra spool of line. He has quite a large area now. I tried taking his collar off a couple of times, but trust me, he figured it out! I would rather be safe, than sorry. Hope this helps?

I would call them. I have seen reviews saying their customer service is good. They will want to help. Our collar is still charging for us. It is almost 8 months old.

It should hold the setting, we were not happy with these collars either. They didn't stimulate the dogs strong enough to keep them in yard. We ordered different collars.
