I was just wondering if this unit can be programed with multiple settings? My dog is not always home and I would like to have one setting for while my dog is away and one for when he is home. Otherwise the food despenses and my dog is served more than one meal. I dont want to loose settings by shutting it off. Can your product help?

I have had this product since May 2013 and I can assure you that it can NOT do what you are asking. You can set it for 1, 2, or 3 meals per day that are set to specific times and for specific amounts of food for each. For doing that, it works great but not for what you are asking. Sorry.

Hi Kelle,No, this feeder only let's you have one feeding program. Good luck!Sylvia

Wow this is quite an ancient post. So far I've looked over the large sheet of directions and set up a few programmable times. Unfortunately nothing has indicated to me that each of the outlets can be timed individually. As far as custom times, you can set 1 turn on time and 1 turn off time on four different programmable settings. For example, program 1 could be set to turn on at 6 AM and to off at 7 PM while program 2 (if selected) could be set to turn on at 6 AM and turn off at 5 PM.

it can be set for two modes to feed a certain amount throughout the day or it could be set for one time a day at a certain time or up to three times a day at the times of your choosing. Be forewarned this item is very noisy when it runs. Also make sure you use premium alkaline batteries. It is very flexible in it's programming you can set it to feed A large amount in the morning or a small amount in the middle of the day and a large amount at night or any combination thereof. Personally I will give this unit three out of four stars. Only two things I wish it had A quieter mechanism and a AC power adapter using the batteries as a backup. it can be set for two modes to feed a certain amount throughout the day or it could be set for one time a day at a certain time or up to three times a day at the times of your choosing.

Yes, you can program this to automatically switch between cool and heat, or not........ As to the re-design, as far as I know this is the latest product........ By the way, this is everything that it states - I have no complaints with this at all....... I'm extremely happy with this - I'm please to tell you that one of the blogs stated that you cannot dim the display at night, well you can select an auto dimming function that darkens the display after 30 seconds...... :-)

No, this is not a programmable unit. This model has 3 settings - High, Low and Warm. The settings must be selected manually and the unit will remain on until you turn it off.

I would definitely contact the seller and make them aware. Ill try my best to explain but there should be an online manual on google somewhere. All you do is charge it up first until the light on the collar is green. Then activate the collar by holding the button on the side with the digital display. You do this and then it should come on. Then if you let go and hold the button again two lights will be displayed (green and blue) and this means that each time your dog barks sequentially the electric pulses will increase. This is where I have mine. However if you let go and hold the button again there is a manual setting where you can set the pulse from 1-9, 9 being the strongest. I had troubles figuring it out at first but just play with it and if this doesn't help call the manufacturing company they'll absolutely answer your questions. Be careful not to hold the button too long as this will power off the collar. Hope this had helped you! If you have any more questions let me know. Also let me know if it works well on your dog as well.

Read the instructions CAREFULLY. If you have the current time set properly, you can start at "To Program the Timer". I believe if you take the time to work through that carefully one step at a time. you'll be in business. This timer has a LOT of capabilities for settings, and it is easy to miss a critical step if you're only trying for one on/off cycle per day, at the same time every day. That was, however, all I wanted to do, and by wading through carefully everything is working fine for me.

You can program it to turn on and/or off at certain times through the app. When you set it to turn on at a specific time, it will turn on the same setting that it was on last.

I'm not an expert with this, but I find that timer settings are important. What I mean is that if a cycle was stopped and not reset that could have an effect. Everything has to be in place within the appliance for it to work properly. It's following the instructions and if that doesn't work, call the company. Good luck. I'm enjoying mine.

Hi Jenny,Sorry for the long delay in getting you an answer but here it is. The manufacturer of the trainer you are looking at uses about 2000 different frequency IDs for this product so your chance of getting two that are on the same frequency is very small. If for some reason you did get two on the same frequency PetSafe would switch one out for you at no charge. So, yes, you can use two systems and no, there won't be an issue of giving the wrong dog a correction unless you press the wrong button yourself. If you have more questions let us know.Thanks, EZDogFences

No! I had the old model for over three years and loved it-- until my cats broke the lever from helping themselves to a morsel or two in between meals. Picked up a new model last night and it seemed to set fine, yet never went off (could tell because the meal light was flashing). Just swapped it for the same model at Pet Smart and same thing happened! New model is a bit easier to program, but I'd stick to the old model if I were you!

You only have to program it once, unless you change the batteries. Then you program it again. Just keep the bucket full of food and you can forget about it. It will feed your animals.

Yes -- you can set up several different codes. In fact, the programming options are GREAT. You can set up a code that works only ONCE. You can set up a code that only works on CERTAIN DAYS. There are MANY different options. We have 2 of these already, and we are definitely getting more -- these are GREAT. Great functionality, and great appearance as well.

Not sure why you would need 2 units? I only train one dog at a time? I'm not certain as I've never had 2 units side by side to see if they would be on the same frequency?

Unfortunately mine only has two settings, off and timer. Sounds like some have three settings.

Yes, you can set it on 1-10. We have it set on 7. It's very effective for our 8 month old black lab. He learned very quickly. You must be consistent. There is a 12 hour limit. We only use it when we put him in his outdoor kennel when we are at work. We are very pleased with this purchase. Good battery life. I would recommend.

Seth , I have had this a number of years now. . I recall that you can program a couple seperate on off times but you can't zone those times . I believe you will need two seperate units or a second timer of some sort that would switch the zones . You will have to research that concept.
