No, the shock is always the same. You can adjust the strength of the signal, which means how far from the wire the signal reaches. But the shock is the same, the manual says so. I have two big dogs and both got shocked only one time, that was enough for them to know, that as soon as the beeping starts, they should back off the fence. I have had it for almost a year now, still works and have had no issues with it at all! It's a good buy.

It is not adjustable. So if you have a stubborn dog like a husky or hound would recommend the petsafe stubborn dog one. Cost more but worked great on my husky. The esky worked great on my border collie bc the shock wasn't strong but it got her attention.

It is not adjustable. The only thing I don't like about it. But it works well with my 70#, 55#, and 20# dogs.After a few walks they stay lined up in order.

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar. Good luck!

I Have A 74Lb Dog. I Don't ThiNk I Would Use This On A Smaller dog.I Use The Tone And VibratE. I Used The 1Setting A Few Times For Correction. I Used The 2 Setting Once And It Hurt My 74Lb Dog. Basically My Dog Gets Tone And Vibrate And Thats It. I Use To Have Yorkies, I Would Never Have Use This In Them. Its Way To Big And Can't Imagine The Zap It Would Give A Small Dog, When It Made My Big Dog Cower To The Zap And Yelp.My Dog Never Ran Toward The Road Again But I Felt Horrible.

Yes. I think the whole unit would be too big for your dog. The shock the collar gives off may be way too much for dog. My dog is a 42lb greyhound/boxer mix and the shock really gets his attention. 97% of the time the vibration feature is enough to get his attention.I would not use this collar on your small dog.

The collar is completely adjustable and the shock part is pretty small. I have it on my 20lbs dog and am buying one for my 5lbs dog . Hope this helps!

Absolutely Not... In fact one of my dogs is a 10 lb, but very thin, Chihuahua/terrier mix and he responds to the vibration immediately. It's a good vibration, but so harmless. I do not even use the shock mode. I hesitate to use it. I haven't even had to try it on either of my two dogs. My other dog is a Toy Manchester Terrier, 13 lbs and also responds to the vibration mode. I am very happy after purchasing at least 5 other (89.00 dollar and up) units for each of my pets - I have 3 dogs. This is my favorite unit. :)

It should. Try only using the vibrate at first. only use the shock if you absolutely must. The shock does scare them but the vibration does too. The vibration is a good warning do it 2 or 3 times before you even think about shocking. my dog is about 8 pounds. I don't have to use the shock hardly ever. the vibration scares him enough

Definitely! That's one its best features. I have two long-haired collies and a normal shock collar does not reach through their fur. (And I hate shocking them.) The vibrate feature is so effective, I have only had to use it once or twice, and barking has stopped. I have never used the shock buttons at all! I highly recommend this . . .in fact, My sister-in-law just got one for her two daschunds (big yappers) and she is also pleased. I just don't know why there isn't a product that is vibrate-only.

Collar is adjustable. It fits our 90lb lab. The intensity and range of the shock is adjusted on the box in our garage not on the collar.

Yes it does. Not sure if the vibration varies however my dog quickly got used to responding to just the vibration.

The one I had bought was for a small and medium breed dog.My dog is a pomeranian maltese mix(maybe 8-13 lbs). The collar can be adjusted on it.But the box the probes are on did seem a little bulky and I always had to readjust its location on her.The shock at the lowest setting did not seem to bother her -it was the vibration setting she noticed the most.Also she does have longer hair so maybe it was not as effective as it would have been on a short haired dog.

I think that this would work all right for your dog. I have a dog that weights about 25 lbs and it works well. You will need to set the shock setting very low. I have the shock set on 20 and works very well.

Yes you can! I used this on my Chihuahua, and it worked great. There are two levels of vibrations and you control duration. This startles them and stops the behavior. I wouldn't use the shock feature because of the size of dog. This should work for you, good luck!

no. If I am close I adjust the power. My dog is not as sensitive as others. When we are on a free walk I turn it up to 100 and use the hard shock the first time then she doesn't run off .

I'm fairly certain that it shocks every time. We have used these on our dogs for 3 months and they have made a HUGE difference.

There is only one vibration..I use it on my italian greyhound and rat terrier. Very mild. There is one shock button, along with a whistle and bird chirp. The only thing is that I would change is you have to remove batteries when not using it. There is no off button.Besides that for a small dog its handy.
