how does the collar behave if the dog were to cross out into densely wooded areas that could be in the roaming area?

The custom shaped fence struggled with a corn field. Not sure how similar the radial would be.

I have densely wooded areas around my house as well that are within the roaming area and I have had no issues whatsoever. We have our monitor set up on the second floor of our house on an outside wall and it seems to have a really good, fairly consistent range that does not break when our dogs head into the woods. They have tested the boundary along every square inch of the 300 foot radius we set up and we've had no issues.

Like Sally said, keep the collar on underneath the backpack and attach to that. There's still a small gap between the collar and the backpack that it won't get in the way for most dogs. There is that handle you see in the picture which stays on the dog even when the outer pockets come off. However, unless you have a small dog or a very well behaved one, I would not attach a leash to the handle. It's not exactly stitched to be load bearing (in fact, I had to pick up my 55lb dog a few times during a trip and the stitching is already coming undone on 1 side). If you use a body harness though, you're pretty much out of luck underneath the backpack. Like Sally said, keep the collar on underneath the backpack and attach to that.

It works fine having the dogs wear both collars when they are outside. Ours have worn them for three years. Recently, we combined the radio and barrier rock transmitters on to one collar and that is working also.

Basically the leash is connected to the existing collar and goes around the chest of the dog. The slack is controlled by the metal clasp that connects to the existing collar. So he'd have to be able to get lose from his own collar for him to back out of it.

According to the instructions, the collar needs to fairly tight. If you can get it buckled pretty easily, it is probably too loose. Make sure the dog is standing when you put on the collar. I have to stand over my dog and hold her up with my knees at her hips to put on the collar. I found that the collar can be a little looser and still work. But it still needs to tight enough to stay in place.

Yes, there is a safety strap which clips to the dog's harness, so that if I was ever in an accident, the dog wouldn't go through the windshield or out the window. Incidentally, I would never, ever use a collar on a dog, but rather a harness, so that the dog is never in danger of being choked. I am very happy with my Outward Hound!

I have not made the collar tight enough to stay on the back of the neck. The collar migrates to underneath the neck while the dogs are playing. I think they respond well because it is not painful but irritating. They can't quite figure it out so they just mind your command and continue playing.

It seems to only be activated by the dog closest to the collar. I've barked loudly right next to my dog and it has not gone off. But it has gone off without anyone including my dog barking, so it is a little unpredictable.

The clip on the device is pretty strong so I can't imagine the dog breaking free. Also, the tether keeps the dog away from the bike, so they wouldn't get hurt by the bike either. If you fall on the dog, well, that could happen running with them and the only advice I could give would be don't fall. :) Honestly, my shepherd bolted after a cat last night, she is about 60 lbs of brute strength, and the bike didn't shimmy. It's a very well thought out device. This is great as long as you aren't tree bashing on a single track trail. I love it and the dogs immediately used it without any trouble.

My dog ​​is the Dogs . While walking my dog always pulls . Collars are as a matter of do not think so. However, it is free when it is not my dog ​​for a walk.

I haven't had any issues like that, but my dog normally isn't around woods. The shrubs around my apt are not a problem with this harness tho.

Not sure exactly what you are asking about, but my dog wears his collar all the time when I'm home so I don't have to worry about putting it on or off each outside visit. People have said that in multi-level homes that they have had to watch because it did work in the home and the dog wasn't allowed upstairs/downstairs. It would depend on how wide an area you have the settings.

You should have no problem. There are different settings for how strong the shock will be. Be sure that prongs touch their skin, not just sit on their fur. You may need to shave a small area if their fur it thick. Also, there is a distance setting to adjust how close the dog can get to the fence. My dog is a jumper, and the only time she has gotten out since the collar was when I FORGOT to change the battery! She hears the warning beep and stops! Hope this helps!

The remote is used to put the collar into bark mode. I haven't tested but I'm pretty sure the collar will stay in that mode with the remote off

We use the collars pretty much every day for our woods walks. I charge them once a week as a routine. But they never go dead. Make sure it is off look for the blinking light.

The bark collar has the 2 metal points that are to make contact with the dog. If The collar can move maybe its not tight enough to start? What kind of dog do you have?

I think it probably CAN, but it would be a bit awkward. The collar is fairly wide and heavy for a cat. Not sure whether the cat would respond the same as a dog... I.e. Would they shoot up the first tree they came too, or return home? I think it would definitely be less than ideal.
