I have two dogs but only one needs the collar. If my other dog barks will that set off the collar? Also how long is the guarantee good for? Thanks

Thank you for a very good question. Another pet or noise (clapping, thunder, etc) will not set off the collar. It can only be set off by the pet wearing it. The collar is unconditionally guaranteed to work. There isn't any time limit on it. I'm not sure whether Amazon has a time limitation on returns or refunds.

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. The collar is only set off by the dog wearing it. I understand the guarantee is unconditional.

For our dogs, we are able to have the collars off at times. It depends on breed and temperament of course. Once they were trained to stop going off the property (we are on a ten acre farm) or stop chasing people (and their dogs) walking by our farm... the dogs only had to wear them and it was a reminder to obey. Then we could even take them off and they would listen and come back when called. After a couple of months our dogs did seem to forget the training and would start to wander. We just put them back on and have a refresher course for a few days. I will say that we have hardly ever had to use the shock button... the vibrate is very effective.

Yes, you can put it over their head as a 2nd collar. I use it as a 2nd collar when it's dark but it is quite sturdy to be a full time collar. It's very easy to take off, detach or unhook. It is adjustable to make it tighter or looser. Not sure how long the batter will last or if it's waterproof, but for the price, who cares. It's a bargain. Buy 2 or 3 or 4 and keep them as spares. I have 3 dogs and will buy more as needed.

You can buy another remote at a pet store or online. But I suggest to just get a different one altogether because from my experience I had to replace two collars because it wasn't completely water proof. It may be more expensive but deffinately worth the money

The collar is adjustable but usually these anti-bark collars are for the smaller 'yappy' dogs. :) Sometimes, I just have to show my miniature schnauzer the collar and he'll calm down. Not because this is harmful or anything but because he knows that he'll get a surprise if he barks. If you need further detail, I can check out my dog's collar when I get home and see the length of the collar so you can tell if it would fit your dog.

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.

It has helped some. But for the most part, the dogs don't bark with it on but will bark with it off. They have calmed some but it hasn't been a magic bullet for us. After a while, you won't have to turn it on. Just putting it on loosely stops the barking. It has been a great deterrent. Our dogs bark at the dogs behind us and at our pool Polaris. When we put the collars on, all is quiet :>)

The product's manual does indicate it can be used on two dogs, but references the need for two collars. I would sugget you contact the manufacturer or their website for specific details.

Every dog is different I am sure. All I can say is that my dogs knows when I put the collar on that they will be corrected for barking, so they do not do it. I do not leave the collar on them because there are two large protruding nodules inside the collar. They also know that when the collar is not on and they will bark. Perfect scenario would be a collar you could always have on... I have yet to see one without protruding parts though as that is how the collar works. It sure beats not having a corrective collar though. Good Luck!

Mine worked for a couple of weeks on barking and any noise the Bichon made near it. He would cock his head and stop. But it doesn't work anymore. He barks again all the time. And it never worked for the Maltese...

A collar is not your best investment to stop barking. I've done some research on this, even though I have a very quiet dog. Zero barking is not normal, neither is excessive barking. I very much suggest finding and hiring a reputable trainer in your area to help if you have a 'big barker' on your hands.

Mine stopped my dog from barking in a few days and haven't needed to use it anymore. I have loaned it to several friends with similar results

I think it give 3 beeps but they sometimes will still bard. It will give the warning beep before they begin barking. Mine does not vibrate just beeps and shocks. It doesn't seem to hurt them. I had one today that didn't bark without the collar but just ran around the table inside and outside for 2-3 hours. Hyper dog I think. I thought she would have a heart attack.

We have 2 dogs - their individual collars are triggered by the barking offender only. They do not trigger the other dog's collar (the non-barker). Best. Collar. Ever. There is peace in the house!

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.

I bought mine for 1 dog but I think you can use it for two dogs if you wanted to. You get two colars and two sets of tines and 1 remote. The remote has a 1/2 button on it so you can switch between which collar you use. You have to pair the remote to the collar so you determine which collar is 1 and which is 2. It's a simple one button push to switch between them.

The collar has different settings. One is a ramp up, one will shock "instantly" and has different levels you can choose. I think it also has a setting that will shock and then reset if the dog doesn't bark again for awhile.
