I see that people are using this on multiple dogs but can I use the warning beep as well as the static shock or do I have to pick one or the other?

It's great cause you can have it on shock but use the beep button first with a command, then push a different button for a shock. My dogs learned fast that they hear the beep they come. Only 2x..

Thank you for your question! There are multiple buttons on the hand held transmitter to emit a warning and a static correction.

You can use either. The only one you would have to pick between is the beep and vibe.

We use it for 3 dogs. The warning beep is no longer available. The vibrate setting is the warning beep for our dogs.

One bark triggers the beep. Any further barks after that gives a shock. So the dog may bark once, then make soft growls or whines after that. But the dog is reluctent to even bark the first time

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.

You choose beep or zap. I beeped then zapped after a while my dog responded to just the berp

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.

Forgot to add that I leave the collar fairly loose, and 99% of the time, just use the warning beep. Only needed to hit shock twice in two years.

No. It has to be a noticeable bark. And even the first few barks are just warning beeps, not shocks

Once the dog gets the hang of it, I've found that I can set the collar to beep only (no shock) and it's still effective. I assume that extends the battery life because it doesn't have to charge / maintain the shock system. The real problem is dead batteries from a new package.

It should effectively stop her nuisance barking most of the time. This is not to say that your dog might not try to test the unit. I suggest you start with the vibe option and progress to the shock from there as necessary. Do not over sensitize the unit as it may give false shocks. Your dog has a thick coat so it might require some thinning of the neck hair. I have found that it is more important to have the collar relatively tight and the unit positioned properly under the chin on the upper part of the neck. A little experimentation helps as each situation is slightly different. I have an attention barking Yellow Lab of 105lbs. and it works on him.

It's for any size dog. After you use the tone followed by the shock a couple times, you will only need to use the tone and the dog will associate that with what's coming next and respond.

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.

Probably because it's adjustable, but the box us a little bulky. The shock mode is adjustable so I would recommend an extremely low setting. The beep mode is very effective even for my lab.

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.

Hi Jenny,Sorry for the long delay in getting you an answer but here it is. The manufacturer of the trainer you are looking at uses about 2000 different frequency IDs for this product so your chance of getting two that are on the same frequency is very small. If for some reason you did get two on the same frequency PetSafe would switch one out for you at no charge. So, yes, you can use two systems and no, there won't be an issue of giving the wrong dog a correction unless you press the wrong button yourself. If you have more questions let us know.Thanks, EZDogFences

no, there is an option to shock without sound, or make it beep without shocking the dog... but there is no vibration, though i have actually tested this on myself and the really low levels would barely be felt and might be just enough to get their attention without actually causing discomfort...

I always give my dog a moment to respond to my voice command. If no response, I use the beep/vibrate. If he still does not respond, I use the shock. If he starts to respond, but gets distracted, I give him another chance with just a beep/vibrate. Always start with the voice command because that is ultimately what you want him to obey just in case he is ever without the collar. Once you shock your dog a couple times during the training phase, you will rarely need to use it. I have a very stubborn beagle, but he almost always responds to the beep because he knows what is going to come next if he doesn't. I always give my dog a moment to respond to my voice command.

It is just a beeping signal when they get close, but once they do get shocked it does not take long. Our dogs got shocked, and they will not even get near it now. They know to stay away from it once the collars are put on them. Hope this helps you out.
