Does the collar have a beep option if my dog gets too far out and I want to "beep" him to return to me?

It's a piece of crap. Returned it. Too many issues. Couldn't keep power on bad system. They told me they were working on improving it. It was a couple of years ago

My collar do not have such option. I'm not sure if any new versions have such option but I don't think your dog can be "beeped" anyway unless it is remote controlled.

Probably not. Whines and soft growls don't trigger the collar. Only barking

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

No indicator on the collar-the dog lets us know by escaping. Have only had the system for 8 months and just now replaced the battery.

It does both, but never at the same time. If you're holding the remote looking right at it, the button on the side makes the collar unit "beep" so as to locate your pup without shocking him/her (but it's not very audible, almost useless); the remote will have 2 soft buttons on the front, the smooth button is to SHOCK your pup and the button with a little bump on it is to make the collar vibrate and the intensity is assigned with the level wheel.

Yes, it has a beep that starts several minutes after it's left open. You might not hear it in another part of the house.

It will beep first and then it's a healthy shock when they are directly over the line. You can adjust the intensity though, depending on how well your dog learns. Most learn the first time.

There is a beep/tone warning button and then a button to stimulate/shock them. It has not been effective for us. You have to keep reactivating it. Although it is waterproof. Doesn't seem to work when we want it to. We have a PetSafe invisible fence system that works excellent for our yard. We wanted something to operate manually when we go to our land. And this has not been helpful.

If your intent is to keep track of your dog, this isn't the answer. It only has a 60 foot range so your dog would have to be very close by. Furthermore, the beep is fairly soft so you might not be able to hear it if your dog isn't very close by.

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!

It can be. It is preset at the factory on level 2. They feel a little tiny jolt. No screaming or anything likehat. It can however be a shock collar if dialed up high enough. I had to use a higher setting when my dog...( he's 75 lbs) got out of the yard and ran like a maniac. He would not come back on command. So rather than have him get run over in the street the collar literally saved his life. He gave a little yelp turned around and ran back to his yard. This in itself was a miracle. It has proved to be a very good investment. his is not a cruel collar just a training collar. I just use the beep and he responds now. Hope this helped.

I don't know about the comparison, but I have my collars set high on my min pins. They stay in the boundaries except my male occasionally can run across when he's not thinking about it. I don't think the fence has enough time to respond or his collar bounces away from his neck when this happens. I love this system none the less.

There is a alert button on the side of the remote, if you have had to use the shock on your dog a few times they don't like it so put the collar on when they are in the yard when your dog barks or tries to leave the yard hit the side button and see how your dog re acts, if doesn't then use the shocket believe me your dog will get the point.

Nope no beep. And the collars stop holding a charge after 6 months. One collar only lasted 8 months before it stopped working.Vibrate lasted way too long and the zap only made my boxer twitch his ear

Each push advances to another mode. This is kinda irritating until u get used to it. Once you're use to it the dog seems to even notice the clicks...helpful if he isn't too excited.There is also the button you push to activate your chosen mode. Wouldn't want to beep when he in danger, nor would you want to shock just to get his attention. I rarely have to do more than vibrate when he's being pigheaded. I only shock because he dpesn't seem to mind getting hit by cars when in the "zone".

I don't always leave the collar on her, so I can't attest whether there is an automatic shutoff. However, there is a separate green button that will emit an audible alarm only. The yellow button will give a warning beeb followed by the correction shock. Over time, hopefully the dog will respond to solely the green button.

You turn the colar on when you puy it on your dog & yes it stays on untill you push & hold the button for 5-10 seconds to turn it off. Yes it has a seperate warning beeping button, then the button to shock. This is a very high quality collar & works well.
