A yelp means the dog is in pain...the shock collars are only meant to re-direct the dogs attention to you so you can give it a command (quiet). You are using the collar incorrectly and hurting your dog, despite how well written that manual is.
I understand the reasoning behind bark collars, but if he's only wearing it at your gfs house where she has a dog that is barking...um...what's the problem?
Vibrating collars don't sound like a good idea for smaller dogs prone to tracheal problems. None of these collars sound like a good idea for small dogs, I don't like leaving collars on Rizzo at all if I'm not home, if he crawls under something and gets caught...well I'd be devastated to loose him to such a preventable accident.
Is there a way to lower the setting so it doesn't hurt your pup?
Remember, our furry friends are really, really great actors when it comes to hiding pain.
