How do you use it? Just point at the dog and press the button? How long do you hold it down?

Yes just point it at the dog and press the button..works ok at a distance also..just hold it down for a second..you wont hear anything but you should notice your dogs ears perk up..and they should stop barking..my girlfriend uses the one I bought her on her chiahauhaus and they got trained very fast using it..

Thomas..it wont hurt them..it makes some sort of noise that they dont like..just a quick 'zapp' is all you need..it worked on Cathy's chihauhaus..didnt hurt them..but you could tell they didnt like the sound it made..you wont hear a thing when you press the button..but a light will come on..a little red light that will show you that the thing is on when you press the button..it will need a battery..a 9 volt I think..one of the square type ones like they have in smoke detectors...good luck..Jon

I say,"No Barking!" and then press the button. I don't hold it down any longer than a second. It gets their attention. Sometimes if I just show them the "clicker", they stop barking. Other times, they don't stop barking at all if they are really motivated to bark, like at a cat, or at someone walking a dog by the house. So, I've had mixed results.

I say the command "NO" and push the bottom once p pointing it at the dog. We have four dogs so sometimes they all get the sound because the one dog is too excited to quit. I do not hold the bottom down but their ears go back at the one push so I know it is effective. Pushing it without a command is confusing to the dog as the bottom is the negative sound reinforcement for barking. Now if I point the device and say "NO" they will stop barking if they bark again I push the bottom saying "NO" again. Hope this helps.

It is helpful for barking. You would have to use the button to train your dog, so I would think you may want to seek another method to train your dog because it won't activate the noise unless they bark while nipping.

It is ready, does not have to be shaken. Just press the button. But if there is the least bit wind, it will blow back on you.I used it on a dog and it worked well.

What type of dog do you have and is the fur on his neck ollowing the pegs to touch his neck? If he just looks at you, you may try notching it up 5 settings at a time. I have my shitzu responding to the beep and have had no issues with it making contact when needing it. Also make sure its charged well and not laying on top of the dogs regular collar.hope that helps! Cindy

It depends on how stuborn it is. I start low and work your way up. Sometimes it is necessary to to turn it all the way up and really let them have it at full power. Normally with my very large 87 pound 6 month old dog,I use it on 4. This not necessary all the time, but most of the time, just because he is big and tough. Now that I have him pretty well traind to stay in his area, etc. sometimes I just use the beeper, but is still needed on higher settings at times just to remind him who is boss. Never abuse the power. My dog has never been afraid of the collor, and it is easy to put it on after charging. He hears the beep when I turn it on and comes to sit down, so I can put his collor on.

You have to hold down the button. Also the manual says not to run it continuously for more than 1 minute at a time, which seemed odd to me.

I just hold the middle button Down. Sometimes I have to do it a couple times.

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.

Yes it is easy to press. I would think most dogs could do it unless they were really small.

First of all its a greatsystem but you Must train your dog.the way it work is you put the unit in your home adjust the range by turning a knob its numbered.you put flags in the yard so the dog knows its boundaries. You tell the dog a command like easy or no when the collar Beeps.then use your leash and pull him back into tge safe zone and reward him.you have the ccollar in beep only mode.you do this about 3 times a day for a week.then when your sure you turn the correction on.its got good directions.my dogs can go in and out all the time.hope that helps.

No, you do not need to hold the button down. When you press the button you will hear a click and it will run. I hope this help.

My dog got ahold of mine, and chewed off the twist top and the thumb button, and it still didn't go off. Ig 've concluded that you really have to purposefully press the button down in the right direction with a little force in order for it to spray. I am back to order another one. Thank you, Saber- for not spraying my sweet, although poorly-trained, dog.

HiThere is no button. Pretty sure you just shake it and use it. Should be instructions on it.Thanks

No need to hold the button down. You click it once, it turns on in the last mode you used (strong, medium, strobe). If you quickly click again, it cycles through the modes. If you wait for about a second to the next click, it turns off.

You put the collars on the animals and set them each up with the same remote. One is 1 the other is 2. When a dog does something such as bark, jump, w/e you need this for, you press the button for that dog and it sends a shock to that dog through the collar. I had to use this for excessive loud barking. After they realize what they're doing causes this they stop. I just pick up the collar or remote off the table now and they stop right away.

Put the dog's leash on them. Lead them up the steps. Give them lots of love when they get up there. Try not to get frustrated. It's scary for them - they've not done anything like this before! It can be difficult and it doesn't depend on size. My bigger dog got it right away and uses it constantly. My smaller dog doesn't seem to trust it and I have to watch & make sure she doesn't try to jump. She's the one that had to get an ACL operation. Until your dog gets used to it, you may have to get the leash out periodically and force them to use it. After a few days like that they should "get it" & use it without prompting.
