Does this automatically shock/vibrate when a dog barks or do you always have to manually do it with a button on the remote?

This Collar Is All Manual. There Are Collars That Are Bark Collars Out There But This Is Not One.

This is not just a bark collar so you do have to shock them yourself each time. But that also means its multi use and you can correct other behaviors also. I don't even use it on my dog anymore I just have to pick it up and she stops.

Unfortunately it is always manual. It works really well. After a few times our dog just stopped barking unless it was really necessary. We loved it. Blue ended up getting out of the collar it came with (he broke it). It's connector is plastic. We were able to switch out the collar and had no issues after that. Really great collar for the price. Tons of settings. We never had to go over 30 , there are 100. The Vibration setting worked best to get his attention. He is a pit bull and deaf. Works great.

It does have automated bark feature..however our husky learned how to ignore it...lol! He doesn't cry as long as we are with him. It is one of the best ones we tried. Good Luck!

I wish I knew which is newer, but I don't. As for the beep, I don't think mine does, but with my hearing loss (about 50% overall, and most of my high-frequency) it might. If you mean a beep at the collar, I don't think mine do that. They will either vibrate or shock. I have been a bit disappointed in my units, in terms of their range. The dogs have to be closer to the sending unit than the instructions would have you believe. Hope this helps.

I don't remember this devise having the option of only using the vibrate sensors. If I remember correctly the vibrating is a warning to the dog to stop barking and if the dog continues to ignore the vibrating the shock comes afterward. My husband tried the collar on himself to be sure it wasn't to harsh. He said it was very much like getting a good static shock. It mostly gets your attention with a split second of mild discomfort. I'm sure your dogs personality plays a part also. Different dogs will react differently.

We moved last year to a house that doesnt have a fence and my lab chow mix would CONSTANTLY chase wildlife deep into the woods. We didn't want to invest thousands into another fence or an electric fence so we decided to give this collar a try. There are two buttons and a 1-10 dial on the remote that you hold. One button makes the warning beep (letting your dog know that the shock is coming) and the other button administers the shock. We have found great success with this product and after the first few days only needed to use the warning button. We tested it on ourselves before testing it in our dog and it doesn't hurt but it will get your attention. I hope this helps!

The vibration is automatic, it is the first alert to the dog, if it continues to bark the shock starts and goes up in strength while barking continues. The vibration is suppose to be a warning to the dog of what is coming. If it learns then no shock is necessary.

So it will just vibrate and beep. Does it go off with out remote when dog barks

It is not a bark collar. We use the remote. Have to be intentional on the exact behavior you want to avoid. Can't keep zapping randomly or dog will be confused. Completely manual remote. Great tool for training.

Once every time you push it or hold down button for continuous I've had this collar for a few years and its great very rarely use the shock. They react to the sound and vibrate.

I have yet to use either shock, but it does not beep when vibrating the collars. It's so effective at grabbing my 40 and 50lb dogs' attention, I have no need for the shock levels at all.

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.

Just don't use the shock button ever. Thats what I do. My little on responds to the beep and if she is really really out of her mind barking the vibration stops her in her tracks. :-)

It offers a beep as a warning and then the shock. No static vibration, but the shock level can be adjusted depending on how stubborn your dog is.

It does have the feature for automatic ani bark. You do have to turn it on manually, every time the unit is turned on. I like the fact that you can start training with shock, then move to vibrate and finish with sound. Of course it has the option to do all 3 in order. Some people use different corrections for different commands. Hope this helps you. Good luck.

No. I actually did a lot of research trying to find a "remote controlled bark collar" and it doesn't seem to exist. After a lot of thought about what training I was trying to accomplish, I decided to go with this collar as opposed to a bark collar. With this I could always tap the button if he was barking excessively, and also use the collar for other training. A bark collar was too limited. Good luck!

It makes a "beep" sound that just gets the dogs attention, my dog never responded to that she responded to the collar's other option which was a vibration setting. The collar does not shock the dog.

It probably wont, plus, this collar needs the owner to be present at the time of barking to press a button to send either vibration or electric shock. It does not have a bark sensor to automatically shock the dog.
