Description refers to "tapping/vibration in ADDITION to stimulus" are these 2 separate options? Called was told no, but reviews seem to say they are.

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".

Tapping/Vibration is a separate button that is like a cell phone on vibrate. This is separate to the stim. The stim has 100 levels. My dog is being trained on a level so low, I cannot feel it. I use the "tapping/vibrate" to get his attention changed from something (like the garbage can!).

You should be able to feel the vibration. My daughter has one and she can feel the vibration without the orbeez.

there are two models; one touch and one not. all in one needs to have the word touch included in explanation or title.

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.

This is not a vibrating device. We have asked Amazon to correct the product listing details. Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention

Yes I have tried both. Read the label one has a function for energy boosting and the other has a function as a meal. Read the labels! They are not the same and they have different functions! READ THE LABELS!

I can't answer that positively because i have only use those buttons once. i always use the vibration button and that is more than enough of a deterrent. There are two different colored collars. 123 are used for one collar and 456 for the other collar. So in theory 1 and 4 are the lowest shock stimulations for their associated collars.... But again, vibration stimulation seems to be annoying enough to stop them in their tracks... Hope this helps....

It doesn't produce a tapping, it's more like a thumping sensation; all the mechanics are enclosed so I can't confirm how the sensation is produced.

Yes, vibration only, beep only, or shock. Use the beep or vibration to warn of what's to come. They learn very fast. My dogs change behavior as soon as the collar is put on. Unfortunately the reverse is also true. Smart.

No, not at all. I didn't reference them at all. I'm not even sure why they're included to be honest. Bigger issue is whether this aversive training method is best for your dog. I returned mine and went with "clicker" training. Karen Pryor has a book here on Amazon about it. Clicker training uses positive reinforcement versus leash pops with Don's slightly painful Command collar to train your dog. It comes down to your personal belief on what is right.

though I have read other's reviews, saying that it is helpful.....no. Matter of fact, I found it to be a very irritating noise....Was able to lower my stress level quickly, thus shutting off the noise emitter. I either set it too low, so the signal disappeared immediately, or the noise made my stress level higher. Perhaps someone else can be more helpful? I guess we both look at it differently, Shrinker. I accept plenty of 'stuff' in life, but this kind of 'fingernails on blackboard noise' is no where near the gateway to calmness. I recommend that folks look towards saving their $$$ and just start practicing plain ol' meditation.

Vibration from the fork is to be felt by the body part that you apply to, not listen to sound of vibration, even if you listen, it's not dizzy, for me, I was fine. I own regular tuning forks for sound healing, & natural vibrations are beautiful.

Not really sure. I purchase for my grandson who seemed fascinated with in the vibration feeling at about 6 months.

It has number so you can use 1-3 for gentle tapping and vibrating but if you use greater number it is tapped very hard. I use usually 1-6 depending upon where I use it. In my neck and back area I use only 3. Like in lower back and hip I use 5-6. I never used number 7-10 .

Yes, it has a sliding bar which increase/decreases the intensity. Great percussion massager!

No, it is a low-med vibration; I would try a shiatsu massager that is also available from amazon.
