how to check if collar is working?

There is a red LED that is activated with the correction. You may not be able to see that when the collar is on you dog but if you remove the collar and run the area where the sensor is (a small circle near the petsafe logo) over a piece of cardboard or other rough surface you should see the LED light up. Then you will know that the collar is responding correctly. I also always make sure that the logo (and sensor) are closest to my dogs mouth it seems more consistant if put on that way.

It's working fine but battery life is to short. After a month I have to charge it every second day.

I'm not exactly sure which model you have, but in general the LED is the key to understanding how your collar is set up. With respect to charging, RED means the collar is charging and GREEN indicates that the collar is charged. BarkLimiter owner's manuals are usually available online and pretty helpful.

I have not added a collar, but there is a little 3 position toggle switch with color codes (orange/black/green) on the remote.

They are corrected indivually. They has a setting on the remote for collar number 1 or 2. Just have to know who's wearing which. However the distance isn't far and they turn of quickly. To turn on takes a solid 5 seconds. Quick but not when trying to correct a behavior

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

I wasn't able to use collar -- my dog didn't weigh enough. I would call the Dogtra people and see what they say. Good luck!

Make sure you're trying to turn the collar only... its right hand thread so turn counter clockwise as you're looking at the tip head on... try wrapping a rag around the collar and use a channel lock style pliers

The collar(receiver) has a red LED that turns on when the collar becomes active. The collar has a motion detector that is how it turns off/on. The remote control(transmitter) has a display that indicates it is on.

You should get a red light indicating the collar battery is charging. It turns green at full charge. If no light, the problem may be with the charger and not the battery in the collar.

Not 100% sure. I believe the collar is advertised for anxiety issues primarily. You might consider calling the company or seek a trainers advise.

It's a tester for the shock feature. Touch the wires to the prongs on the collar and hit a shock button. If the light lights up it means it's working.

It needs to be charged regularly and i noticed that I have to reset the collar almost every time i use it. Other than that, it has been working just fine. I am wondering if my dog will go back to old habits once i stop using the collar or will it program her not to do certain things so eventually she won't do them even when i don't use the collar. Has anyone noticed the difference with their dog's behavior when the collar is not used?

It is used to check that the collar is working by placing the the two metal plates on the 'wing' to the probes on the collar, then press the remote, if the remote and collar are properly set up the collar will light.

I only bought one collar and it works great. I would send it back and ask for a replacement...most companies will replace it free of charge.

Not sure. I haven't had any trouble with mine charging. I have had mine for more than a year. You might see if you can get a replacement battery for the collar.
