does this vibrate or shock them?

Shocks them, but it has levels. It makes a buzzing noise 1st as a warning. If they continue to bark, then shocks.

it gives out a loud high pitched squeal to warn them first and then if they keep it up, on the second time they do it it sends out a small shock.. I wouldn't use one on a little dog, but I have a 120lb. German Shepherd so, It worked great.. it completely brokeher of the barking for no reason very quickly.. I would guess it depends on how smart the dog is whether they can figure out its fromthe barking that there getting a jolt from.. I hope that helps.

Some vibrate,some make a high pitched noise and some shock(depending on the intense level.I tried mine out on myself so's to know what level to use.Again,it depends on the size dog.Don't be too harsh on it or you'll be a failure.)

Yes, there is absolutely NO SHOCK - no pain whatsoever. Just an utterly painless little vibration.

This particular unit is vibrate and sound only. We got it because we did not want the shock capability.

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.

I seriously doubt it. The feature that I liked about the collar is that it gives a warning before it shocks. kThus my Pointer has learned that she can get away with one bark without being shocked. If she persists, then she gets shocked. The collar is activated by vibration. The collar is a great one, and I recommend it, but you might be better off with one that you trigger when the irritating activity occurs.

Barking does not initiate a shock. Pushing the shock button on the remote does work.

there are two separate options, vibration and the actual shock which they call "stimulus". If you precede the shock with the vibration, your dog may eventually associate the vibration to the shock and then react to the vibration to avoid the "stimulus".

define "shocked". The unit is powerful and can give you a pretty strong "buzz" but I wouldn't describe it as a shock.

It has the tone button to give a warning and the button below it delivers the shock.It works great. Usually I only have to show the remote to my dog and he stops the bad behavior.

Yes. And I love the option of vibrate or shock. It works great for our 2 dogs.

There is only one vibration..I use it on my italian greyhound and rat terrier. Very mild. There is one shock button, along with a whistle and bird chirp. The only thing is that I would change is you have to remove batteries when not using it. There is no off button.Besides that for a small dog its handy.

No. But if you are relatively closed you can hear it vibrate and if you use shock you'll see the dog react to it.

Ours was never bothered by it in the first place. We are now trying the Dogwidgets vibration and shock collar and the initial results are encouraging. The vibration gets her attention better than the sound ever did.

I tried it but didn't like it - it rubbed against his legs. I like a shock collar. I gave him a mild shock once and that's all it took. Now he responds immediately to all my commands, stop, heel, etc.

They will be warned with a beep before the shock, it will shock them a couple times but will shut off after a certain amount of time. The shock strength is contrilled by the owner, it has 10 levels. I started at 4 with my golden doodle and it's current setting is 8 because he had becided the shock was worth it on the lower settings, he has not crossed the line since raising the strength.

You can test it. May be is the battery. With my dogs, some of them get used to the shock, and don't stop barking.

There is not a vibration option. There is a bad sound that you use to help train them. You use the bad sound followed by a small shock. Then they know they better listen because after the bad sound comes something worse. The shock level goes from 1-8. There is also a good sound you can use located on the side of the hand remote. You can use that to let them know their behavior is good. Those are the only options though.
