Does this collar offer vibrate as well as shock stimulation? I would like to be able to use vibration before a shock is used.

Hi. The unit we have makes a sound that warns the dog he is doing something wrong. It is a separate button totally. The sound can be increased also. The shock button is totally separate from the sound button and can also be adjusted to a higher # if needed. It has been a HUGE help to us with our Malamute and has helped in her training. Our daughter has a Lab/Newfie mix and they have had excellent results with their collar also. Highly recommend it. Good luck. Sue

YES!!!! You will need to get the 2 dog model or if it is cheaper get 2 one dog models. Train the females one at a time (let them know how it feels when you do something wrong). Then when you put on both collars and say your "stop/move" word they will remember what the collar does and no fighting! After awhile you will just have to use the vibrate function and no more shock. AWESOME!!!

They have two vibration levels and two shock levels. One vibrate for each collar and a vibrate for both collars at the same time and a low shock for each collar and a high shock for each collar.

no there is not. There is however, an audible tone before the shock. Only took one shock from this collar on a low setting, now my dog responds to the audible tone, and the shock is never used.

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.

There are 3 levels. Darla, the 2 other responses to this question aren't correct. It worked fine for me. I am training a young pit mix, and have only had to use shock a few times. She is now responding to vibrate.

It makes a tone without shocking, but I don't think it is a vibration. When you first use it (when calling and dog won't come or going out into a street), simply tone her. When she continues, do a low shock. After doing that a couple of different times, she now comes at the tone to avoid the little shock that would come next. It works very well. In fact, just putting the collar on her seems to keep her in the yard.I just read Craig's answer so I guess it does vibrate. Husband is the disciplinarian so I don't know that much except that it works well. We have never gone above the 3 or 4 setting to shock.

Yes you can but be careful who you buy from because the one I received was not the one in the picture. The collar I have does sound, vibration and shock it works great but it is not rechargeable like the description said.

Think of the vibration as the lowest setting. No shock whatsoever. Just like your phone vibrating. I'll use it as my first "tug". If no immediate response, I'll give a shock stim on very low level. I think it's a very helpful feature. I thought the DVD was simple and to the point. I had done some training with my older dog years ago, and this DVD brought that all back to me and showed how to transition properly to the E Collar.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.

This collar just has one vibration. The vibration is not painful, it literally feels like a cell phone vibrating.

This is a problem I had to work out as well. I found that a couple things help keep the collar well-placed. First, if it is too tight the collar will slip to the side and get stuck there. If the collar is slightly loose, gravity will keep the device hanging low. In order to make sure the collar still stays in a position to feel the vibrations, I leave my dogs other (normal) collar on. I place the shock collar above their regular collar (close to the ears) so that it stays higher on the throat. It took some time to adjust the collar properly. I had to play around with how tight the collar was. Even a little change can make a big difference.

Yes, but only use the vibrate mode. It will startle but not hurt. Give the command you want, then if no response push only once. The startle will go with the unwanted action. We tried both modes on ourselves.So we would know what our dog would feel. The shock was way to much. But the vibrate was fine. I wish there was a intensity level adjustment. Remember to check the batteries in both the collar and remote. We have a small dog who thinks he needs to bark all the time and usually at nothing. Now all we say is" quiet or do you need your collar on" and he's quiet. He no longer wears his collar all the time, and it only took about 20- 30 mins. for him to learn. Use the vibrate.

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.)

It does not shock. It makes a vibration about the amount of a mechanical toothbrush and a high pitched tone. There are two levels high and low. The only difference from high to low is the amount of time the vibration or tone lasts. You can't do both sound and vibration together. Turn off after every use to save the batteries. I also purchased a big 50 pack of batteries from amazon. The pack of 50 cost what I paid for 3 batteries at CVS. Works ok on my lab.

The collar has different settings. One is a ramp up, one will shock "instantly" and has different levels you can choose. I think it also has a setting that will shock and then reset if the dog doesn't bark again for awhile.

There is just one level of vibration. The collar needs to be pretty tight for my German Shorthair to respond to it though. That is the only con of this collar otherwise it is a great tool!!
