I worry about. My 20 pound dog. Will this alarm pick up if something 20 pounds falls in?

To test my alarm I quickly submerged a 3 gallon bucket of water across from the alarm (about 15 ft.). In about 5 seconds the alarm went off. In my pool, this 25 lb. weight sets off the alarm.

Yes it will work. Seem to always go off when my 3 year old throws rocks in the pool :) It was very sensitive.

We installed this product on a 40'w x 20' oasis shaped pool. Our 3 lb chiuahua sets it off and honestly, a good breeze will set it off as well. It works as designed but is a bit sensitive to windy days. Make sure to read installation instructions and it will work great!

Yes, your dog would definitely set off this alarm. Very sensitive, which is what I wanted.

I apologize- we closed our pool 4 days ago. I could check in spring. I know 35 pounds will trigger it. My guess it will trigger if not initially then once dog starts swimming.

Yes, the alarm will probably sound, either when your dog jumps in or when the dog swims around. The alarm is sensitive - which is exactly what you want. My alarm has sounded falsely only twice - once during a thunderstorm and once when the pool pump started when there was a lot of air in the system.

It is a motion detection alarm. Motion does set it off. I have found if you set it away from the edge of a shelf, that it will not have a line of sight to the floor and does not set it off. Depending on where you display it, if your dog is large, or gets on furniture, will determine if the dog will set it off. If its not a motion sensored alarm you are looking for then this is not what you want. It is a fairly sensitive motion alarm.

It might-if your dog will not try to jump over it or push it down. I have used it that way when our dog was a puppy and couldn't jump over it or knock it over. Now she is big and would push it right over!

Hard to say for sure. It needs to be adjusted when it is installed. I have tossed light objects in the water and in about 5-7 seconds the alarm sounds.

No. This is not an adequate approach to your dog's safety, 120 lbs or 20 lbs, doesn't matter. I have yet to find anything that can accommodate an active dog appropriately.

From the information I gathered the motion detectors won't pick up anything under fifty pounds, but I haven't risked it. Another thing people recommend is angling the detectors such that they won't detect anything as short as a dog or cat. That doesn't really answer your question, but I hope it helps!

It should. The wire is buried and a warning beep when they get close to it. If they ignore the warning and get cloer to the wire it gives a shock until they back off from the wire. It has different settings for the shock strength. We have a medium size dog and it is on the lowest setting. Before we knew what to set it on she got close enough to be zapped and she yelped...so it must have been pretty strong as she NEVER does that.We lowered it immediately! It DID leave a lasting impression on her though. Hope this was of some help.

Oh yes without question. my largest dog weighs 20 lbs, others are very small dogs. not problem with size

It will not, it is made of material, lined on the inside for kitty comfort. There is only one metal ring at the top which is used for the leash. It shouldn't set off any alarms especially if you point it out before scanning.

The sensors are built into the unit. Likely it does not hurt you dog, just surprises and annoys. Kind of like my dog barking when I am trying to sleep.

Probably not, we bought it to prevent setting the alarm off by accident. It doesn't prevent it completely- but it has cut down on the amount of times.

No. I have had no trouble with my 2 Doberman alarms. You may want to check the battery. I make mine alarm every 2 weeks & so far so good. Hope this helps.

Yes! Once you understand how it works. We had a week to get use to it after having a different brand for many years that broke and was repaired by myself.Yes. It works great! the Dog hears the "signal" much better than the old collar we had! 105 lb. dog...no problem!

it's not a weight sensor - cats and dogs "move", so why would you think they might not trigger it?

My dog is about 65lbs and he will yelp and stop what he's doing at the 3 out of 8 setting, so I would guess your dog should for sure feel it at some point in the settings.

Lol No, it would be great if it did. Ihave no idea why they call it doberman?This alarm has a shrieking noise,which in my opinion could be louder.I use it when I went out of thr country
