will this collar go off with other dogs barking?

No, the sensors respond to vibration. That's why it has to be snug at the throat. If ifs too loose, even the dog you have it on won't set it off.

No, mine has to be pretty loud to set it off. My beagle whines and talks with it on and doesn't get shocked. She only gets shocked when she full on barks.

The remote is used to put the collar into bark mode. I haven't tested but I'm pretty sure the collar will stay in that mode with the remote off

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.

Yes, another dog barking can and will trigger the correction. In fact, if you lean to close to your dog and talk to him it can trigger it. It is very sensitive. Not sure about the weatherproof capabilities, my dog only wears it briefly. The prongs are about a half inch, but are mostly coated in rubber except for the tips. I like the the unit for what I need it for (driving in the car my dog would screech like a banshee when he got excited, which would lead to him attacking the other dogs, so this keeps him in check) hope this helps!

No, the collar has no automatic response to a dog's bark or actions. For whatever the correction might be, the remote must be used to activate the collar. Barking is not a problem in my case so I'm not certain, but I suppose you would have to leave the collar on and hit the remote when the barking starts. However, the manual warns that you cannot leave the collar on indefinitely as it will irritate the dog's neck. Hope this helps.

No it does not react to sound of barking. You may use the manual vibration mode to bring attention to dog

Hi...I have 3 dogs with 3 bark collars (2 are Schnauzers )....they operate on vibration and sound so they generally do not have an issue....rain proof....not very long prongs.....would buy again

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

The collar does have to slide over the dog's head. If your dog hates having a collar put on, you might be able to leave the collar on him. I would not recommend that to a home with multiple dog's but if your dog is an 'only dog', you could do that easily. It is a comfortable collar.

No bark collar will work with growling. Growling should be left alone as an expression of concern. You can display your lack of concern to the dog by redirecting your his attention away from the source. Get up and walk out of the room or open the refrigerator or drop a few nuggets of dog food in his bowl. Anything that distracts him. In the end it is the bark that is bothersome, not the growl.

Yes the collar would work. Just make sure that no other dog or dogs come in contact with the collar or it was spray your dog. For example, if another dog is barking at your dog and that other dog is beside your dog, it would spray your dog even though he/she stops barking and scare them.

Depends on the dog. Our lab will start barking after he figures out that it's off. We didn't start using it until he was five years old though.

Lisa, thank you for your question!Please know that this product is to eliminate nuisance barking only and should only be worn during times you do not want your pet to bark. With consistency and proper training, most pets will learn when it is and is not ok to bark. For the comfort of your pet, we recommend that this collar not be worn more than 8 hours each day.

Kay i think it will stop because the collar do the signal when my dog is howling. I put it in myself and bark and I received the signal.

No, this is not a bark collar. You would have to use the controller to "beep" them for bark control.

My experience is that the collar allows the dogs to express themselves quietly -- growls, low unvoiced barks, etc -- and only reacts to a real bark. My dogs quickly learned how much noise they could make with the collar on without setting it off. I think your dog would probably be able to continue growling, unless he growls with tremendous volume.
