Is there a "stubborn dog collar" that works with this? Our Berner has recently decided she's willing to endure the shock to visit the dog next door.

There is a stubborn version. Also check that you have the correct contacts installed so they get through the fur.

I believe there is 5 settings, for our dogs (Boston terrier) the level 4 was enough to change behavior. I tried the collar on my hand, it would make me think twice about crossing the wire!

The collar would work, with proper training.. you have to work with your dogs to make them understand that running off is unacceptable and what the consequences are. Our Doberman is very stubborn but knows that the warning beep function of the collar is the first warning and a disciplinary shock will come next. Usually the beep make him come running to our side.

I seriously doubt it. The feature that I liked about the collar is that it gives a warning before it shocks. kThus my Pointer has learned that she can get away with one bark without being shocked. If she persists, then she gets shocked. The collar is activated by vibration. The collar is a great one, and I recommend it, but you might be better off with one that you trigger when the irritating activity occurs.

It may be a bit to big but the collar will detach from the unit and basically any other type collar would fit that unit.So if you went to any local pet store you can purchase a collar that will work.

I wouldn't. The shock portion of the collar is probably bigger than your dog's neck

I don't know what kind of dog you have but I have a St Bernard and this collar did absolutely nothing. I returned it. You have to press the button yourself and no matter how near or far, it didn't work

I have an 85# golden retriever 'pup' 8 months old, and the collar slowed him down the first few times, but his coat is so thick, he doesn't care about the points on the collar. I am considering a shock collar instead to try to get some control-I have had several large dogs before and not had a problem being the leader- each dog is different I guess. I also am hoping when he is neutered it will help too. You may need something more powerful to master your dog before he gets any bigger-at 13 weeks he should not be aggressive-your best answers may be in talking to your vet for recommendations in training. The DVD's with this system (I have found) are unrealistic in the results you can get from this collar.

Did you put the flags up and train him on leash? Walk the perimeter every day a couple times a day for a couple weeks. The training will pay off. We went through the same issues with our Weimaraner. Do not use the shock feature to train. Use the audible signal. The dog does not recognize or "Respect" the fence if he is still bolting through it. Be patient!

It's not a bark collar....trust me, I wish it was a combo unit but as a shock/ vibrate collar, it hasn't failed me one bit. Good luck

Yes, it most likely will. However, I wouldn't just suddenly go on a walk with him using only the collar. Instead, use the collar and a retractable leash if you have one. Decide on a relatively fixed distance away from you that you will start enforcing as the collar's "virtual leash distance", if you will. Whenever your dog approaches the edge of that imaginary circle, give him a little jolt and lock the leash to keep him from going any farther away to reinforce that set distance. If you do this consistently he will learn this behavior to an extent that the physical leash will not be necessary so you can get away with just using the collar

There is a magnet embedded in the collar buckle. If that is lost or not working almost any magnet will work. I just tried a refrigerator magnet and it worked fine. Good luck.

There is a alert button on the side of the remote, if you have had to use the shock on your dog a few times they don't like it so put the collar on when they are in the yard when your dog barks or tries to leave the yard hit the side button and see how your dog re acts, if doesn't then use the shocket believe me your dog will get the point.

That is the reason I bought this collar and although it gives me a much better control over my dog, I still haven't been able to stop her. from attempting to lunge. What I do is step on her leash so that she can't get to the other the other dog and make her sit. until the other dog passes. Without this collar she still reverts back to the uncontrolled behavior.

Karine,That item will not work as an add-on collar. Unfortunately the collar you need has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

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!!

mine either; but a bark collar w/ an adjustable dial (mine is a Dogtra Yapper Stopper YS500 @ Cabelas) - So the collar did not work for long with my Whippet, but the PetSafe Outdoor Ultrasonic Bark Control Birdhouse did the trick after years of different collars.
