Happened very very quickly and was over. We had two maybe three incidents and then it was quiet point chase, NO PRESS...LOL now an occasional quiet point. NO CHASE NO PRESS... I never held the button more than a second at a time. I think anymore than that would just hurt and cause a reaction rather than the shock stop result that you're trying to achieve. |
Well I certainly don't hold the button down, because it hurts MY ears!! I can hear that thing every time I use it. But it was working to a point, and now they don't seem to even hear it and i think it's because they bark to loud and drowned that sound out!
All I can say is things are getting out of control and we are not enjoying our dogs when they behave that way. I am going back to static collars, at least I know they work and don't hurt them. I have 3 dogs they will go on and none of them are my little yorkies.
It's Mindy the 10 pound yorkie, Hanna my cocker and Candy my cockapoo. She is a toss up because she is easier to get to stop. But Hanna and Mindy are just horrible and then get the rest going.
