Rascal bolts out the door. He'll get 20' away, stop, look back and laugh. Bolts again. If I had this gadget, do I say "come" and zap if no response?

I train my dog to heal when I press the vibrating function. I call his name as I press it, and he comes right back to me. I only use the shock feature if he dosent respond to the vibrations (when he sees a squirrel and starts to bolt into the street). And he will always respond to the shock. Now that I have had it for a while I don't even have to turn it on. Once I put the collar on my dog he is on his best behavior.

this is the best product ever. My dog does the same thing and I only had to use the collar a few times for him to learn to listen. Now when he comes on the first try and if he doesn't listen with other things all I have to do is open the draw where I keep the collar and he listens. It works so well I don't even need to put the collar on anymore.

First off if you don't know how to use it you shouldn't be buying one. See the article at http://leerburg.com. It's made for a training tool not for punishment.

Do your homework first vibrate treat vibrate treat vibrate treat for a couple of weeksThen vibrate and if he doesn't come--- a quick mild zap.....Save the red zap for outrageous behavior...

7/5/2014 Good Day Rayn, You should STOP using this item, this is a fire hazard. You could be injured. Contact the seller you purchased this from, as common sense would dictate this is NOT how it should work and there is no fixing it. Sincerely, Customer Service Dept. JoyToyShop

Here is a SWAG (scientific wild ass guess) - it might work. Our Rex is pointed out our front door and if I run up to the door (not what I think a cougar would do) it doesn't bark until I'm right by the door (which seems a bit late to me). If I tarry in the driveway, about 15 feet from the door and talk with someone (like a stealthy cougar slowly approaching?) Rex eventually catches on and starts barking. My theory is that the further away the cougar is when the barking starts, the better the cougar is deterred. And my theory is the cougar would approach slowly. Ideally your cougar friend would have a fear of dogs. Now if the cougar considers dogs yummy, then Rex could be an attractant!

I'm sorry Deb I have never tested that I was trying to get our dog to stop barking when he was in the house and looking out the window. That worked GREAT

My cats have not be able to get through the wire, my only thought is not to leave them alone with the toy? I play with my cats with the toy when I am home and put it up when I can at work! Sorry, but that is all I can think of!

Apparently you are determined to WASTE YOUR MONEY. Since the system is total junk and does not work, the sound is not likely to be heard at all. Now if you would prefer to believe that this piece of garbage has any possibility of actually deterring a burglar, then you might as well also make believe it is as loud as you want it to be. The only way to make this system act in any manner as a deterrent would be to leave in in the box, leave that box on the floor, and then hope that your prospective burglar trips over the box.

Neither of my dogs "freaked out" - not sure what you mean. Mine appeared startled and then stopped what they were doing and then seemingly waited to see what I wanted next. Are you following the directions and giving only a *short* blast no closer than 15 to 18 inches from their face?

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. :-)

My is at the entry of my house - also not such a great idea although it will alert you if the power is disconnected from it and there's a battery back up -- a burglar could still have enough time to take off, unplug it, and remove the chip before the system has time to react or sound. I think the best thing to do (and I need to do it myself) is maybe install some screws around it so it cannot be removed from the wall too easily or too quickly. I'm worried if move it far from the entrance or "hide" it -- it will be found anyway as soon as the alarm sounds or I won't have enough time to get to it and turn it off before it sounds. The only issue I see with this alarm is that a burglar w/ half a brain could destroy it before it was time to do anything more than send you text message that the power has been disconnected from it -- but it will also send you that message when there's a power outage.

Not sure on that but face the device outward from your house and all I can say is test it out? Have your cat near the device in your home that's facing the other way and c if it scrams?

It is best of only one person speaks (my grandkids) always try to talk at the same time and tick R2 off. So in a quiet room, say "Hey R2," pause, he beeps, then say "reset system". He beeps again (unless he is in a mood). He loves to be told "I love you R2", but always after you get his attention with "Hey R2" and the pause for him to respond is important. Otherwise, I would maybe remove all of the batteries, wait a few minutes, then put them back in and start over. Good luck and let me know if you any other questions.

Correct. You say your chosen word -- like STOP and if the dog does not stop whatever he/she is doing you say the word again and spray he/she in the face. Works every time for my youngest Frenchie some times takes two or three sprays for my older dogs. Barking and jumping up is my main problem with my dogs.

I have no idea why yours makes a horrible sound - suggest you send it back for a replacement. It might be the sound of the tail twisting around, that is audible. But the howling laughter overrides that "mechanical" sound. I have 3 - they all sound the same - infectious hysterical laughter.

Yes, absolutely. It is a loud "psst" sound...there is no contact with the animal...just the sound.

If your hear it or not depends on where you can locate the sensor unit in proximity to your bedroom. It is not super loud so it probably wake you up if you can get the sensor close enough to your bedroom to still pick up his movement if he get up to leave his room. You might consider using a drive way alert instead...it is a little louder and you can put the sensor so it beams across his bedroom door and the main unit in your bedroom next to your bed since it is wireless.

We used ours to stop excessive barking and from running off. After you have used it on them a few times, when you pick up the unit and they see it they usually will stop what they are doing. You would have to catch them in the act and then shoot them with it. Good luck.

It sounds like an angry dog. It crawls and barks. I just couldn't figure out how to control it . You can't move behind it as it starts making a racket.
